Yeah some of them or use the term to describe Trump but not all of them -- just some of them -- a vocal few maybe....but not most.

So let's focus on what most liberals don't say -- rather than what a few liberals might say.

Rollman Farms in Shawneetown Illinois has a sign on their building that says

Republicans welcome
N* loving Democrats not so much.

I don't for one second attribute that kind of racism to all Trump supporters or conservatives or Republicans.

And I'm not sure there wasn't criticism by liberals, Obama voters, etc. for the middle east, Libya. Also -- it is easier to be more vocal about things happening in our country than half way around the world.

I think all presidential administrations are owned by the military industrial complex. We'll get wars and favoritism to huge corporations no matter who we vote for. Most Americans are somewhere in the middle but no one listens to us.

The whole left/right brain dominance thing is a myth.

And yes, Bill Clinton was criticized too.
How about the 90% of the media kissing Obama’s behind for 8 years?

Did they scrutinize Obama with even 10% of the energy against Trump?

Because if they would have, they may have uncovered some real bombshells like undeniable proof that Obama was born in Kenya or that Michelle was born male or that Pizzagate is actually real?

CNN attacked Obama for killing civilians with drones.
https://www.cnn.com/2012/09/25/world...kes/index.html

The New York Times attacked Obama for his military drone use.
https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebat...lasting-legacy

And Mother Jones attacked Obama for lying about deaths in drone strikes.

Obama himself publicly admits that Libya was his greatest mistake as president, and CNN reported it.

https://www.cnn.com/2016/04/10/polit...ake/index.html


The real lies, manipulations, and cover-ups about deaths in war come from republicans.

The GW Bush administration started the Iraq war with 935 false statements. And even Rand Paul says Dick Cheney started the Iraq war to increase Halliburton corporation profits (and republicans covered this up and fully ignored it.)
Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war - CNN.com
https://www.motherjones.com/politics...q-halliburton/

The GW Bush Iraq war killed 1,000's of US soldiers, permanently injured 10,000's of US soldiers, and killed 100,000's of innocent Iraqi civilians. And republican news groups like Fox news never said a word about the 935 false statements, the unnecessary military and civilian deaths, and Halliburton corporations involvement in the war.

But when (4) Americans were killed in Benghazi Fox news and the republicans attacked Hillary Clinton like a pack of wolves (while they remained silent about the Bush White Houses involvement in 100,000's of deaths in Iraq.)

This ^^^^^

Many liberals were critical of Clinton. He is not a liberal.

As far as Obama is concerned, the day he named Geitner some knew he was just another corporate Democrat.

All the other stuff is just a difference in opinion.

But, what POTUS did the Watergate cover up?

The conservatives yap about crooked Hillary all the time. Nothing was proven after many investigations. But she never traded arms to Iran for hostages or destabilized half of Central America bringing drugs into the country creating M 13 like Ollie and Reagan did. But hero Ollie is head of the NRA.

No liberal lied about the intelligence to manufacture a reason to invade Iraq. They may have voted for the invasion based on crooked information. Plenty of people were telling us the White House was not being truthful. They were painted as crazy or un American. I'm still waiting for the roses being thrown at the feet of our troops like Rummy said.

Yeah, I'm bitter and pissed. Seems to me we should judge all politicians with the same measure.

The left base wouldn't scrutinize a Democratic President with the same enthusiasm they would scrutinize a Republican President.

The right base wouldn't scrutinize a Republican President with the same enthusiasm they would scrutinize a Democratic President.

Trump's base doesn't scrutinize anything Trump does.
