The Great Moments in BDS [Dan Collins]

Everyone will have their own–the one that jumps into my head is that jackass chasing Malkin around and threatening her. Since I don’t have anything else to offer up at the moment, please share yours in the comments.

That’s not entirely true, but I didn’t want to go off about how absurd the notion of a new declaration of independence coming from nanny-state Obama is. Because it’s Saturday Night.

People are asking what W is going to do, now that he’s leaving the presidency. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see a TV western series where he’s the malaprop disgorging sheriff.

    After the Virginia Tech massacre, I told a Prog that I objected to including a marker for the shooter with the others in the proposed memorial, reasoning that it blurred the line between victim and perp, good and evil. The guy’s response, and I’m not making it up — “Evil?! I’ll tell you who’s evil — George Bush is more evil than that poor, tortured kid.”

    That columnist during (I think) the initial Afghanistan invasion, who wrote a screed attacking Bush using the persona of Jesus Christ.

    He’s so Pezzydent Barbie you can’t even satirize him. Vacuous socialist mouseketeer, him and his woman both.

    This is more of an ongoing process than a single moment, but I’d nominate anyone who spouted the “BUSH = HITLER!” idiocy.

    Sure he is. That’s why you and all your friends have been sent to death camps, right?

    I’m with you, Spies.

    Listening to a Frost/Nixon commercial this morning, I concluded that one of the reasons for BDS is that they’re bitter that they never had their Nixon.

    The MSM and others feed off of the radical stories of the past generation, they fancy themselves all modern-day Woodwards and Bernsteins and pine for a Nixon they could bring down just like their little heroes.

    So they just made one up out of thin air and a decent, honorable man.

    It’s gotta be the “911 was an inside job” meme, with all of its attendant lunacies: controlled demolition, melting steel, remote-controlled jets, etc., etc., etc.

    Oh, and I’m sure smarter people than me have already pointed this out, but the objections they make to the war in Iran are much the same.

    They don’t have a their Vietnam, so they put their hair up in a dirty bandana, and make one up!

    Best BDS ever:

    “It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.”

    -Hinderaker

  15. Comment by maggie katzen on 1/17 @ 6:26 pm #

    I thought so:

    UPDATE: Of all the thousands of posts we have done over the years, this one seems to most outrage the Left, I suppose because it is so at odds with liberals’ cherished illusions about President Bush. The tone of the post is obviously tongue in cheek, but liberals never seem to notice. They are, to put it charitably, not big on nuance. More important, I’ve never seen a liberal respond to, let alone rebut, the point of the post: that President Bush’s proposal to share pollution control technology with the countries where carbon emissions are rising most rapidly made far more sense than the Kyoto approach, which combined ineffectiveness with economic disaster. That, too, is a sign of the intellectual vacuity of modern liberalism.

  17. Comment by Sdferr on 1/17 @ 6:42 pm #

    Not to mention Krauthammer, BDS defined:

    “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush”

    Tongue in cheek praise wouldn’t seem to qualify under those terms.

  18. Comment by Themistocles on 1/17 @ 6:44 pm #

    I think by tongue in cheek Hinderaker meant his tongue and Bush’s cheeks.

  19. Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 1/17 @ 6:45 pm #

    That reminds me of another of my faves: Bush as idiot-savant.

    Many hard-core BDS sufferers are somehow capable of believing that Bush is both a stumbling idiot and a criminal genius at the same time.

  21. Comment by Sdferr on 1/17 @ 6:46 pm #

    Right! That’s it Themistocles! Hinderaker has no right to his intent, it’s all up to you to decide for him.

  22. Comment by maggie katzen on 1/17 @ 6:51 pm #

    I think by tongue in cheek Hinderaker meant his tongue and Bush’s cheeks.

    no, no, that’s your fantasy, you little scamp.

  23. Comment by B Moe on 1/17 @ 7:11 pm #

    Did Themistocles think maybe we weren’t sure what BDS was and showed up to give us an example?

  24. Comment by Cowboy on 1/17 @ 7:14 pm #

    Fem-testicles: Thanks for stopping by to illustrate precisely what BDS rot does to the impressionable and the vaccuous.

  25. Comment by Sdferr on 1/17 @ 7:14 pm #

    I think maybe he paid a ha’penny for a meme and didn’t want it to go unused, whether it fit or not was of no consequence to that urge.

  26. Comment by B Moe on 1/17 @ 7:15 pm #

    Seriously, though, I have seen folks asking if it would be possible to still impeach Bush after he leaves office. I think that is about as out there as you can get.

  27. Comment by Sdferr on 1/17 @ 7:17 pm #

    You’re right to wonder B Moe, the impeachment urge is odd on its face. Kinda like saying out loud, “We got nothin’”.

  28. Comment by maggie katzen on 1/17 @ 7:19 pm #

    Kinda like saying out loud, “We got nothin’… but hate”.

    I’ve always been partial to all those giant paper mache puppets of GW or masks in the anti-America, anti-Semitic anti-war protests. I took this one at an “anti-war” protest in San Diego a few years ago.

    repost:

    Ooo, ooo, I gotta tell you, I had to work today, at Philly’s 30th Street station, [the Barack Lincoln tour] and I got interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, China’s official news.

    My mug is going to be seen by 3 bilion Chinese dudes and dudettes.

    I told them I couldn’t be prouder of America, that Obama will be my President, and that the peaceful transfer of power is one of the crown jewels of the American political system.

    I got chills up my back talking about it.

    As an aside, telling my oldest son about my experience, he picked up that I was twitting China’s communist masters. Smart guy, my son.

    My favorite display of BDS was the Million Moonbat March which I saw firsthand. There were a bunch of great stories from that weekend, but the highlight for me was that during the march, I hooked up with about 15 College Republicans who had appropriated some great signs from the Freeper contingent, and as the march was entering its last 1/4 mile or so, we jumped out in front of it and led the pack for the home stretch. I had a “Saddam was a WMD” sign and about 100K BDS sufferers trailing me. Good, good times.

  39. Comment by happyfeet on 1/17 @ 8:40 pm #

    For real I think a big percentage of otherwise rational people embraced global warming cultism just cause of their media-fueled Bush hate. From a popular support perspective I think support for that nonsense will be seen to have peaked as it loses the anti-Bush impetus. The dirty socialists won’t really care about popular support as long as they keep waking up to reassuring global warming propaganda on their NPR. But still. The funniest thing about the global warming scam is that they’ve framed it to where if they acknowledge dissent they bolster dissent. That’s what happens when you claim a phony nonexistent consensus. Stupid socialists.

    My favorite example was a phone conversation I was having with a co-worker. I had been having raccoon troubles to the tune of $10K+ (grumble, grumble) and remarked that if I owned a gun (I don’t) I would be quite tempted to take matters into my own hands. Co-worker got absolutely hysterical and made me swear up and down that I wouldn’t ever harm a poor defenseless animal like that. (I acquiesced b/c that’s how you shut her up…) Not 5 minutes later, I was relating my surprise to her that a different colleague had been so vocally suggesting death to President Bush. And her response was, “Well he did get us into this war.” Can’t really say that I have an ounce of respect left for that co-worker.

    “A permanent campaign full of brown Obama-blue shirt acolytes.”

    They are going to need a something like Mao’s little red book but updated, 21st century. An I-phone or Blackberry, constantly updated with the O!’s latest wit, wisdom, and instructions. To keep all the organizers, organized together.

    Not really “great,” but certainly an early example.

  45. Comment by thor on 1/18 @ 2:53 am #

    I remember I was talking to a co-worker saying something like, “Bush isn’t a bad human, decent family and all, but he simply has mushed dung for brains. As Presidents go, President George W. Bush sucks..,” and right then, right at “Bush sucks,” a redumblican overhears me and goes frantic Craigian.

    “Which stall, I’m the tapper in the stall second nearest to the hot air hand dryer” adding “blue necktie, I hang my blue necktie over my stall door.” Our bathrooms hadn’t been free of unseemly XXX movie theater action since the day Brett Hume announced on Fox News that Republican Senator Larry Craig had been accused of making sexual advances toward an undercover cop. The Minneapolis P.D. had set up a sting operation in the Minneapolis airport meant to snare politically and sexually active Republican males, evidently. As the news spread a collective release of latent and repressed homosexual bathroom behavior soon engulfed multi-storied white collar office buildings all over America.

    “Dude, dopamine reduction time-out! I’m a registered Independent,” I emphatically responded.

    “But you might vote Republican then!” replied the eager little Republican wearing a monogrammed white Ike Behar dress shirt and a red-white-and-blue bow tie.

    “No, redumblican, I ain’t going to be voting redumblican, nor giving you a bologna bayonet, nor do I want a redumblican Greek salad toss, nor do I want to catch you tuggin’ at yourself and leering at me while I’m fuckin’ pissing at the urinal, got it?”

    “But I heard you say Bush Suck and I, I, I thought maybe, maybe…” The redumblican’s voice trailed off as my co-worker and I walked away, both overcome with disgust at what had become of the post-Craigian Republican party leading up to the 2008 Presidential election. Public onanism had run amok but eventually it was defeated in a electoral landslide, thank God.

  46. Comment by Dan Are on 1/18 @ 6:16 am #

    I’ve a friend who ends every whine about anything with “…because of Bush.” It’s cold out “because of Bush” no matter how many times I point out Kyoto was voted down under Clinton. He doesn’t have a job “because of Bush” though he’s never applied anywhere. Sometimes his feet hurt “because of Bush.”

    It’s kind of like the SNL Al Jazzera skit where every sentence ended in “Death to America.”
