Did anyone have any doubt that sooner or later President Bush would be blamed?

First she said "the system worked". Now, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admits the system failed miserably, but repeatedly points out it was a system put in place while George W. Bush was President. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs made similar statements.

The "Blame Bush" mantra helped get Obama elected and has been used as an excuse for his entire first 11 months as President. Now they are using it as an excuse for allowing a Nigerian terrorist to almost blow up a U.S. bound plane on Christmas Day. Interviewed this morning on "Today", Napolitano repeatedly tried to shift blame to Bush for the numerous failures of her department. She kept noting "the rules have been in place since 2006" or "for a number of years".

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a watch list, had no passport, and carried explosives onto the plane. His own father warned officials at the U.S Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria, that Abdulmutallab had became radicalized. That means Hillary Clinton's State Department knew about him. Our government had a file on him. Abdulmutallah should have been on the no-fly list. But the warnings were ignored.

The clown culture that has evolved from the "logic" espoused by liberals in America is disheartening. Since the left has ceded all functions of the frontal lobe to ThinkProgress, Media Matters, Huffpo, and Common Dreams there is little resemblance between their rhetoric and the truth.

You forgot FireDogLake, TPM Muckraker, The Nation, The Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and Right Wing Watch there Mr Shoot The Messenger. Your NeoCon logic is fAuLtY.

Thanks BC, I did leave a few morons out of the mix didn't I?

Hey, when your only hope of refuting any bad news is to Shoot The Messenger, there's no sense leaving anyone out of the mix. Don't forget that old propaganda rag, the New York Times. They spread some of the worst Muslim Communist fables out there. And the uber-fascist Washington Post. They hate everybody. That's just the left wing stuff.

If you are talking morons, well, that's a whole 'nother picture. You gotta go to FOX for the total picture when it comes to morons. I don't watch their garbage myself but I do read about how they are geographically challenged, racially prejudiced, and actually are involved in creating news instead of just reporting it. Their standards of journalism are kind of like your debating standards:

low.

I aim the debate standards directly at the worth of my opponent BC. In this case, well, I am sure YOU get the idea. :)

Now, since we are talking about Fox (you brought it up, not me), how about showing me where I tend to rely solely on information from them as you do with the honesty challenged crayola muncher sites like ThinkProgress?

Bad news is only bad news if it is true, and you don't have much of a track record of presenting anything that is actually true. Your track record is one of presenting material that you agree with and demanding it be treated as true, that will NEVER work with me.
