Because he is humiliated by his country and talking his mind. You may not like what he says but that's your problem,not his..If a survey was taken and asked if people are as proud of being American as they were 10 years ago I do believe the results would fall on his take of things but that would also include different reasons ..People put different values on things and judge from different perspectives. That is why people debate things, to get a clearer picture of things..I'd appreciate your views on why you think he's wrong but as for running a liberal or a conservative down on nothing more than feelings,that's an ignorant exercise.
And Natalie Maines was ashamed that Bush was from Texas and talking her mind. You may not like what she says but that's your problem, not hers...
I think it's because there's a perception in this country, a false perception but it exists, that conservatives are automatically patriotic and so they can say stuff like that and there's no reaction because hey they're conservatives, of course they love America. It's the same reason why there's no backlash over the widespread rightwing praising of Putin. Could you imagine if anybody on the left had ever done that with one of our enemies during the Bush years? If some liberal had for example praised Osama bin Laden because "he flies jumbo jets" and then in comparison mocked Bush for reading children's books? There would have been hell to pay
Unless we fight back they're going to keep on winning. I don't mean defend our patriotism I mean attack then with charges of being unpatriotic. The way they're all swooning over Putin that shouldn't be that hard
I think they also have a free pass when it comes to national security. When an attack happens on their watch
it's never their fault
National security is another area where Democrats have done a ****ty job defending themselves. Any time any conservative bought up that BS about how there was half a dozen attacks under Clinton but only one under Bush why the hell didn't the liberal ever jump right in and bring up all those embassies that were attacked under Bush?
Remember the massive outpouring of hatred and rage when Natalie Maines of the Dixie chicks said that she was ashamed Bush was from Texas? Why is there no outcry over Sean Hannity's "I am humiliated for my country"
MS. Maines said that outrageous statement and her public reacted to that statement. It was the people not Hannity. Its shame they actually the Dixie Chicks had good music.
Hannity is expressing the outrage on what most of us think about Obama's lead from behind tactics, Weak and not respected in the world. The President has been checked out and playing golf when he should be working.
There was plenty of outrage when Mrs Obama said that
Obama NEVER said there was no American exceptionalism.
Sounds like you don't have an answer. Your excuse that she "crossed the line" is especially laughable considering that Hannity crossed that very same line. In fact he's gone far far far beyond it. The Dixie Chicks never praised bin Laden the way Hannity and lots of other cons praise Putin
