I don't get it. Why are leftists so hateful towards Dick Cheney, at the level of Sarah Palin, even more so than George W. Bush. I think Cheney is a great speaker compared to Bush and more so than Barack Obama.
-
Maybe frank or SB can explain it better than I, but I personally think they're (DUmmies) so hateful because they believe Cheney started the Iraq/Afghanistan wars because of oil. They think all he gives a shit about is oil. They pin hundreds of thousands of deaths on him, and really (as is with many, if not all DUmmy accusations) the accusations are baseless, false, and based on pure, unadulterated hatred. There's really not a decent way to describe it. I'd have to have at least some of the mentallity of a DUmbass to describe their venom towards Cheney or Palin.
After all, the hatred for both is basically linked, or one in the same.

I know Bush partially stemmed from the 2000 Election. I think in the end it all boils down to bitterness.

I'd say that about covers it. Not to mention they believe BOTH the '00 and '08 elections were stolen. That's a part of it as well.

'08 Election, the year Obama was voted in?

:banghead:
Shit, I mean '04. Just punched the wrong button.
Point still stands.

You are asking a question from the perspective of an adult maturity level and that simply doesn`t apply.
You have to try to put it in the perspective of the emotional maturity level of a 5 year old.
That is where leftists for whatever reasons stop.
Everything is about what they want and if it doesn`t happen then the easiest response is anger (picture a childs tantrum in the department store over being told "no" at a toy).
They also have become obsessed with the notion that they are oppressed so somehow there needs to be a vengeance enacted to make it right.
In short there is no amount of adult reasoning that can in any way understand what they do.

Hi,
I think they are that way because they consider him an easy target. First of all he is a hawk and believes in a strong defense. Second, I will never forget the speech he gave when he was nominated telling the soldiers to hang in there help is on the way and the military loved it. Third is he worked for Haliburton which was not an oil company; but rather a service company to the oil industry. It was an easy target because in Iraq they got a lot of no-bid contracts. What the media failed to mention is their only competitor is Schlumberger, a French company, who is actually the larger of the two companies. Now with the French having sold nuclear stuff to Iran, and in general violating the UN agreement on the oil for food program, just which of the two companies would the US government give the business to? The choice was a French company or a US company and, of course the Bush administration was not about to give it to the French. They should have been happy that he did not tell the world all they knew about the bullshit the French were doing behind the scenes.
And finally, unlike Bush who was passive, Cheney called them on their bullshit with facts which the left detests. Recall how he spoke out against the Obama administration and the way they were handling the national defense. They cannot stand it when someone speaks out and the public kinows that he is telling the truth. Every time Cheney speaks out BO is hung out to dry.
If Cheney was 20 years younger, with a good heart he would be a great presidential candidate. The true colors of the left will come out when he dies and they cannot contain themselves from rejoicing.

How awesome would it be if Cheney did a boatload of research on Barry's birth, found that he was in fact born in Kenya, and revealed it to the world before he passed away? That is the way he should go. Telling the ultimate truth. :cheersmate:

Quick answer -- Dick Cheney does not suffer idiots . . . and they are idiots!!

I don't get it either but I think it is because he is good.

Dick Cheney is the new Chuck Norris.
There is no theory of evolution, only animals Dick Cheney has allowed to live. :-)

You have nailed it, 5412.
Not only all that you mentioned....but Cheney is also extremely intelligent. That frightens them as much as anything else.
Liberals fear intelligence in the opposition.
Liberals are idealistic, have "lofty" thoughts and plans, and want peace, love and happiness for all. The problem is .... they don't know how to achieve it. They think that all they have to do is make laws, set up funding(that doesn't exist), throw out pixie dust over everything and poof!!! things will be as they wish.
Problem is....the pixie dust doesn't work.
While the Libs know how to come up with the ideas....just like a little child can imagine an evil creature in the closet....they have the imagination....but imagination doesn't make it real.
The Conservatives know how to think with practicality. And know that it takes thought, planning and hardwork to make it happen. They know that pixie dust doesn't do anything except make something sparkle temporarily and is a mess to clean up.
A Conservative is the child with a huge Lego set that sits down, figures out what to build with it, takes the time to construct it so that it is solid and effective.
