It was really silly of me to expect that the person who wrote the words would explain them. I should have known to contact you, her advocate. Interestingly, her use of the phrase was inappropriate. We on the right have extremely high expectations of our President (he's your President, too, but you think he rigged a quarter of a million votes in Ohio, and, wrapped in the cloak of that fantasy, believe somehow that John Kerry is your President.) And <i>you</i> think that my idea that Condoleezza Rice might one day be President is a fantasy. Thank you, paulbeard.

He could have looked up the soft bigotry of low expectations via Google if he was really interested. But if you look up the words -- perhaps you know what they mean already? -- you can deduce that it means you don't think much of a person, say some politico, and your expectations are accordingly lowered, no matter what they actually do. Now, go back and polish up your Condi Rice fansite some more . . . . <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=soft+bigotry+of+low+expectations&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" rel="nofollow">soft bigotry of low expectations</a> Frank is curious, perhap, but also lazy.

Iraq is a catch 22; there's no solution. Everyone knows it but no one seems to be admitting it. Anything we do (i.e. "cutting and running" or strethenging the Iraqi's to take care of themselves) does not seem to hold anything close to a guarantee of success. Apparently most Americas are waking up to this. Seeing Bush on TV talking about Iraq holds no substance any more, and Republicans are increasingly being viewed as incapable of governing as the controlling party. To continuously see the vast majority of support for this idiot, Bush, coming only from the right is getting tiresome. Aren't you starting to hear your voice echo in that vast, empty canyon you're carping from? Frank, it’s impossible to have a plan for an impossible situation. Iraq is a catch 22; there’s no solution.

You're right, the American people will certainly hold Bush accountable in 2006, and 2008. Also any Republican office-seeker dumb enough to get within ten feet of him. Don't worry about that. What I was referring to was this soft bigotry of low expectations that the Right seems to hold for George Bush. Nothing is ever his fault. He never makes mistakes. Everyone is always too hard on him. When are you going to realize you aren't doing yourselves (or him, for that matter) any favors by letting him slide all the time and making excuses for him? It's sick is what it is.
