No! I don't want you to agree with my leftist opinions persé, I just want you to be more open-minded. If it was an "extreme" act of the righties, you won't admit they're out of line that easily as when it's about "extreme" acts of lefties (I'm using quotation marks, as we're not talking far extreme here, just things that piss the other side off...). That's basically my point. You don't have to agree with them in any way and I'm not asking you to either. But in this case, while "your side" is trying the craziest things to lobby for a War in Iraq (towards Europe, for instance), those who are opposed will try to lobby against one just the same. It's just two propaganda machines clashing, but it doesn't make one side more out of line than the other one...
In fact, you actually prove that point in your initial post. While you don't seem to be happy by the way people are attacking Bush, at the same time you can't help but criticize Gore and Clinton, even without telling exactly what they did wrong; just for good measure, so it seems. And you call Barbra Streisand "idiotic", because she had some criticism in Bush's direction... Then what is it exactly that makes you better and of a higher moral ground than someone who disagrees with the way Bush is dealing with things? You're doing the same thing, only in opposite direction... If someone says something about Bush you think is unfair, you criticize it. If someone else says something about Gore or Clinton others think is unfair, you most likely applaud it.
It's always been this way. If there's a Democrat President, the Republicans will be a little fiercer than usual; if there's a Republican President, the Democrats are the ones fiercer than normally. If the Democrats come up with something, the Republicans will most likely criticize it or the person who came up with it; and vice versa. But in the end they're all just trying to do whatever necessary to make their point of view "the right one", and the one of those who disagree the wrong one. Making their criticism sound "sound" and the criticism on them sound "ridiculous". Just propaganda...
