Reply #5: Godwin's law needs to be extended to people that overuse the term strawman.

Its becoming the defacto "I can't win this argument so I'm gonna say X instead" type of thing. Its getting pretty damn old.

Whats worse is that its not a strawman. People on this very board have made numerous comments in threads about this saying "Why doesn't Gibbs talk shit about the right", in almost those exact words. Thats what this post is in response to, that might make you uncomfortable, but you can not change that.

So what if the interviewer asked about progressive criticisms? Some on the left have in fact said that Obama is no different than Bush and Gibbs has every right to say those people are fucking nuts and express that. He also has every right to say the same thing about people getting angry because of currently unpassable policies not being passed.

I know you want everything Gibbs was talking about to be about YOU. But guess what, it wasn't. You just aren't that important.
