Is the liberal cause well-served by such defensive, mindless hyperbole every time Clinton is mentioned? "Yeah, Clinton, but Everybody Knows Bush is Satan Incarnate" is not a very convincing argument unless you're already a cult member.

UG mentioned the real deal with Clinton and Elspode noted w's similar contempt for civili liberties, where do you find any mindless hyperbole?

"no one should have any"...demonstrating that after all these years, the word that follows "knee-jerk" is still "liberal".

That is hyperbole not mindless hyperbole. Bush has given his detracters just as many reasons to fear his administration as Clinton ever did. They are two men cut from the same statist cloth.

Oh, forgive me. It's clearly calm, well-considered hyperbole that only sounds hysterical. That said, the rest of the comment (including the question that is rhetorical only because I don't expect an answer) stands.

The downside of being a "progressive" is you end up beliveing their propaganda.

Methinks Maggie sees anyone who criticizes W. as slavish, unthinking dupes. Could our country have been more duped than we've been by the current administration? Really.
