Video – Bush: Obama doesn’t need me criticizing him | The Right Scoop

He made some decisions I disagree with, he did some good things. He received a heck of a lot of hate and slander. Some warranted to a degree, some not. With the exception of Palin, he has been the most beat on, bashed, hated, and despised by the media and Hollywood. He's been attacked by former Presidents Bill and Carter while he was President. He's been attacked by Obama while President and even after he turned over to Obama.

You would think this man would like to return the favor. Well, apparently not. Say what you want about this man, but he has class and respect. The only ones who wont agree are the ones who hate him to death as much as they do Palin. Youll see the types of people I speak of in the comments below. And those of you who've been around the forums, know who is most likely to come in here and do what they do best...hate.

Wow, so many logical fallacies.

False Dichotomy - Either one agrees with whatever Bush did and praises him, or they hate Bush to DEATH.
Demonization - See above.
Spotlight fallacy - Highlight where people who disagree or insulted Bush, ignore where people who have insulted or disagreed with Obama (breaks the irony meter in the last 3 days).
--Will follow with "No True Scotsman" - Anyone who did bad behavior is not a real whatever right wing noun you classify them as.
Overgeneralization - Besides the leap to demonization, the leap that everyone who disagrees with Bush automatically hates Palin to DEATH.
-Plus if one person said it, and might possibly be a Democrat, all Democrats must agree. Same in reverse.
Argumentum ex Culo - Saying that Carter or Clinton stated they wished Bush would die, I would be interested to find that quote or some sort of topic where it doesn't relate to the point above.
Persecution Complex - Anyone who does it to anyone of my "group", at any time, then anything is okay to do to everyone of theirs.

I am not a big fan of President Bush, but I would never insult his intelligence by comparing him to Sarah Palin.

I have little use for GWB, but that's a stance I can respect, so good on him.

Not really, makes perfect sense. The argument is invalid even at the most basic levels of logical reasoning. The reason why is stated, including the definition of the term. These are terms that have been used for thousands of years, many first written down by Aristotle.

Doesn't take any effort to write if one is even moderately educated. I know some people frown upon things like that.

Obama has constanly bashed Bush for the past 2 years, and Bush has said nothing. He could be just like Obama and rub all his failures in his face, but he's a good, man, despite some mistakes made in his presidency.
He is being the bigger man here. Good for Bush! Obama should take a lesson or two.

Yup, Bush had class. Much more so than oblabla and the lunatic fringe left.
