The Party of Crazy

This is why the Obama Administration criticizes FoxNews, because the right-wing is full of folks that beat this idiotic and destructive drum:

More than half of Republicans either say President Obama doesn't love America or say they aren't sure of his feelings toward the country he leads.

That's according to a new national poll due out tomorrow from Public Policy Polling. The firm gave TPMDC an early look this afternoon.

PPP polled 766 registered voters nationwide. Of the GOP respondents, 27% agreed that Obama "loves America," 48% disagreed and 25% said they weren't sure.

I spent the last five plus years bashing George Bush. I've accused him of a lot of things -- from violating civil liberties to war mongering to a daily narrative of his rank stupidities and lack of common sense.

So while I accused them of being rather "un-American" in some sense I never accused him of hating the country (whether he gave a shit about a large group of "Americans" is another matter). I certainly accused them of fucking the country, but never not loving it.

It's a line that's kind of hard to cross -- but FoxNews, Limbaugh and Beck cross it every damn day. And they rarely get called out for it by the spineless legitimate press.
