Could use your help re: GWB admin info, please

Comments the Obama Admin have made recently labeling The Others as enemies has led to charges that the Bush Admin never did such a thing.

I'm Googling trying to find specifics, but haven't tapped into the right keywords yet to find things.

Of course, we're all familiar with the whole "you're either with us or you're against us vibe" the right-wing went crazy with as pertained to Democrats/Liberals/Progressives, and how they tried to paint anyone who disagreed as unpatriotic.

But, can you please help provide specific examples of Bush himself dissing progressive/liberal voters or liberal/progressive/Democratic Party ideals?

Thanks :hi:

1. Don't know how easy it will be to find 'bush himself dissing,'

and you refer above to 'comments the Obama Admin have made.' I suggest you try to compare apples with apples, as you're probably more likely to find info from 'bush admin' than from bush himself. jmho. Good luck.

and remember that repugs 'lie,' early and often, so you'll find wild exaggerations in addition to plain old 'simple' lies.

2. You're exactly right....

I haven't even paid attention, to be honest, but supposedly Obama himself referred to people (?) as enemies (now that I think about it, it may involve the Latino vote and not voting for Tea Party candidates?).

Anyway, supposedly Obama did say something very directly, and I'm wondering if Bush ever did something similar -- in public, that is.

Thanks though! :hi:

3. Who 'supposed?' Hard to imagine Prez O referring to 'enemies,'
in public anyhow, and its much more Nixonesque!
