Obama Derangement Syndrome

[bullypulpit]

Back in the dark days of George W. Bush's first administration right wing pundit, Charles Krauthammer coined the term "Bush Derangement Syndrome". He defined it as, "...the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush". This in reaction to justified and well founded criticism of Bush leading this nation into an unjustifiable war of choice against a nation which posed no credible threat to anyone outside its own borders.

When critics of the Bush administration would mutter darkly about the failures of the Bush administration in finding the WMD's that were the justification for the invasion of Iraq, failing to capture the perpetrators of 9/11, 9/11, New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the moribund US economy...in fact, any rational, fact based criticism of the Bush administration was dismissed as the "Bush Derangement Syndrome" of said critics.

Starting from day one of his administration, we have seen the onset of acute paranoia in America's right wing political establishment, right wing punditocracy and its slavish, benighted follower in reaction "to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of" Barack H. Obama. This reflexive and irrational hatred of President Obama was highlighted earlier this week when Chicago failed to get the nod for the Olympics. The airwaves, blogosphere and print media were filled with the howls of glee at the news that Obama's presence failed to secure a Chicago venue for the Olympics. It was only a short time before that that Congressman Joe Wilson astounded America by shouting "You lie!" at the President during an address to Congress, to the unbridled delight of the GOP's right wing-nut base.

And now we see the nearly fulminant outrage and ire on the right at Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. When any rational person would set aside their prejudices a feel a swell of pride for their country and their President, the right wing noise machine explodes in fury. With the likes of Rush Limbaugh stating that "we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award...". Why do you hate America Rush?

We see America's right wing fully and deeply in the grip of an irrational and "acute paranoia in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of" Barack H. Obama. They are caught fully and inextricably in the hall of mirrors that is Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Problem is we dont hate Obama. We dont want him dead. We arent even blindly seeking his impeachment.

We oppose him on policy issues. The same issues we've always stood for.

75% of the world realizes that Obama did not earn the peace prize. That he has done absolutely nothing. We are now a laughing stock around the world because he didn't have the character to humbly decline the award. Even he acknowledges he hasnt done anything to deserve it. No rational person would think its a good thing that someone who admits he doesnt deserve the award gets it when others who clearly do deserve it dont. No fair minded person would think corruption of the ideal of peace is a good thing.

The fact that you partisan hacks are trying to pretend as though Obama deserves this award and that it's somehow fair to the people who actually did something to forward the cause of peace is disgusting. Most rational people have enough integrity not to accept honors that they dont deserve. This isnt an honor for the United States. Spin it all you want, but when the rest of the world looks at our leader with disgust and mocking derision it's not a good thing. When true people who work for the cause of peace are ignored for someone who hasnt even had a chance to do anything, the cause of peace is undermined. Its dishonored.

You seem to think this outrage is about the President. You are wrong. It's about the corruption of ideals and institutions that used to mean something. And if you arent offended by that, then you have serious issues.

BP libs like yourself openly expressed HATE for Pres Bush, VP Cheney, and anyone who supported him

We had movies, books, and plays written about the MURDER of Pres Bush

We has liberal talk show hosts openly hope Pres Bush would be BEHEADED by terrorists

He had looney libs say Pres Bush was behind the 9-11 attacks

What I have seen from the right since Obama's election is an open disagreement on his POLICES and not personal attacks.

However, you Obama supporters say anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist and that is why they do not back his policies. Obama himself keeps providing the material for those policy disagreements with his lies, his statements, and flip flops

I doubt if you will reply - you have a recent history of running away from threads - even threads you start

Red, as I stated many times before, Bush was never worthy of the emotional investment required of hate The the pity and disgust one would feel for a drunk one sees lying in his own offal in a gutter somewhere is the best I could ever muster with regards to Bush and his administration.

Little coming from the right wing-nut punditocracy...Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage-Weiner, et al...could be considered reasoned, principled disagreement with Obama administration policies. "Shrill", "Hysterical", "Irrational" and "unprincipled fear-mongering" would be far more appropriate adjectives for right wing rhetoric to date.

So, y'all just keep on posting your tripe and proving me right about your descent into madness.

How well is the internet connection in the padded cell?

[bullypulpit]

If that's the best y'all can do, it's no wonder the GOP and its RWN base are eating their own.

[stephanie]

It's amusing how the left all of a sudden want to forget that saying they screamed all during the Bush derangement years..

dissent is Patriotic

now that it is their dear leader, dissent is now called shrill, anger, dangerous...

ya just gotta shake your head at the idiots and laugh in their faces...

myself, I'm gonna just act like Shrillery...

Yes, and its quite clear you are still afflicted with it.

And now we see the nearly fulminant outrage and ire on the right at Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. When any rational person would set aside their prejudices a feel a swell of pride for their country and their President, the right wing noise machine explodes in fury. With the likes of Rush Limbaugh stating that "we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award...". Why do you hate America Rush?

Yes and McChimpy said in a speech the very same day that he wasn't deserving of the award. So Rush also pointed out that Obama agrees with the Taliban and Rush.

We see America's right wing fully and deeply in the grip of an irrational and "acute paranoia in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of" Barack H. Obama. They are caught fully and inextricably in the hall of mirrors that is Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Nothing irrational about opposing socialist policies. The difference is we don't have to make up lies about the other party. Pelosi, Reid, and McChimpy all provide enough material with their agenda.

So is that why day after day you were on the board spreading your venom about Pres Bush and making it very personal?

Is that why liberal op-ed wrioters wrote articles named "Why I Hate Pres Bush" and libs loved it?

http://www.democraticunderground.com...ss=104x601279#

As far as Obama, when people protest his tax and spend policies, his doubling of the national debt, his tripiling of the annual deficit, his takeover of the car companies, and his blatant lies about Obamacre - it is hate as well as racism that fuels those protests?

You see BP, I do not hate Obama as and your kind hated Pres Bush. My disagreements with him are all policy based

While on your side, Pres Bush denied Dems power. He prevented Gore form taking over after Clinton - and that was intolerable

When he stopped Kerry in his tracks - that was an unforgivable sin

NOw that Dems have total unchecked power and still can't ram Obama's plans thru Congress -you have to find something or someone else to blame

So now you have this thread as one excuse

[Noir]

While its true that there were some libs clearly out to tarnish Bush no matter what he did, its also clear that some Reps are doing the same to Obama, as they want *him* to fail.

The problem is how you address those who *want* Obama to fail, you can not call them racists, or dissenters, or unpatriotic ect, but i think we're all grown up enough to know that they are there, and that they are not doing this to be racist, or unpatriotic, or disrespectful, but they are doing it becasue they think it is right for them to do. Which, i would suspect, is exactly what the anti-bush liberals thought.

Its yet another case of black kettles and pots in american politics,

I want Obama's policies to fail for the good of the nation Noir. I do not believe higher taxes, more governemnt, appeasement to terrorists, or the government taking over private companies is a good thing and will help the country
