Look, you're the one flying off the handle here. The answer to your question is, nothing makes me think that in this particular instance you etc, etc, because I wasn't talking about you or anything you'd done, I was referring to the trend among Republicans and their supporters to go around blaming anyone but themselves when something goes wrong as it inevitably does. CF about a dozen This Modern World strips, Bolling's Nate the Neoconservative and many, many others. No venom was involved at any point. Because you’re insane?

The Progressive ran a great article on it some months ago. The riech wing has already started trotting it out for the Iraq mess. If the next president does pull US troops out of Iraq and there is no gaurantee that he/she will watch it go into high gear.
