Right Wing's obsession over "czars"; driven more by hatred of a Democrat in the WH, or by stupidity?

[ck4829]

What do all three of these people have in common?

Karl Rove
Condi
Elliott Abrams

At one point, they were all advisers to the last President and they were put into their positions without Senate approval.

So, technically, they were "czars".

Another thing they had in common?

Their advice had disastrous consequences, Condi was national security adviser when 9/11 happened, she also told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and Elliott Abrams created policies that inadvertently emboldened Hamas.

And what about Elliott Abrams, something about him sounds familiar.

Oh yeah, wasn't he convicted in the Iran-Contra scandal? So he's a convicted criminal, right?

And what's one more thing that these three have in common?

The right wasn't up in arms and saying how Bush's czars would lead us to a czarocracy, but I bet you're not surprised about that one, right?

1. In two months, the silly "czars" outrage will be forgotten.

The wackaloons will have moved on to other topics, such as whether Obama is actually human. ("Show us the DNA!")

3. I can hear them now

Why is there a D in front of DNA. It is a Liberal Plot to take down America. We DEMAND that we use an R from now on.... RNA. That is the correct way to describe the essence that makes up the American Heartland...

8. Racism. That's what it is, racism.

6. The GOP appear to have take Opposition Party very seriously.

Their goal has always been to weaken the Democratic Party
and thereby guarantee continuous Republican Rule.

They work proactively. They do not wait for a situation or
scandal to develop. They believe in creating scandals and
in the process destroy the Democratic Party. Hence, they
create suggestive stories: "Who are these 'Czars'?" "They were
not elected!!" "Can we have people with 'radical' beliefs
in the WH" They create an aura of dark suspicion. No specific
allegations". Repeating this stuff over and over, they hope
to gain support in the broader society outside of DC.
Hope the Public will conclude that Democrats have radical
beliefs and they have this secret group roaming through out
the WH spreading change of a leftist nature.

As an opposition party, the GOP will go after anything they
create questions and as a result visit damage upon the Democratic
Party.

I heard Beck has another "Van Johnson" in the works. I have
not been able to find out who the latest victim is.

7. All of the above.

Racism, hatred of a Democrat, any Democrat, in the White House, stupidity. And cruelty, projection, short-sightedness, petulance, bone-deep greed, etc. etc. etc. etc.
