Observations on the world today.

This IS Going To Be Fun! 

A few days ago, I mentioned a post I had dropped off at Blogs for Bush. I mentioned that I had been insulted for the comment by right-wingers. Well today, an anonymous coward left the following remark in comments:
You were wrong so you should expect to get hammered.
Okay, let's examine my comment. First a little context. This was the post at B4B:
The latest death tolls in Louisiana are at about 280. Now, it wasn't that long ago that Mayor Nagin was talking about a death toll around 10,000 or more... 25,000 body bags were ordered... Now I'm hearing some in the news suggest that maybe the evacuations were extremely successful. Perhaps looking back we'll learn that the loss of life wasn't nearly as high as predicted or initially estimated.

Of course, should that happen, watch the local government take the credit, and the Democrats and MSM continue to fault the Bush administration for something.
As I noted yesterday, the death toll is lower than 10,000, but that was never more than an estimation, and it was worded as an estimation with the implicit caveat that it was a highball guess. Now, what was my comment again? Here is what I said at B4B:
Huh? So the right casts blame on the local gov for not doing enough to protect people, and now that it looks like they did even a better job than they themselves had thought, you're trying to say the local evacuations are evidence that BUSH did a good enough job in his AFTER-the-fact response?
Did the right-wing blame the local NO government for not doing enough to help the people of New Orleans? Absolutely, without question they did. Did the death toll turn out lower than the local government had forecast? Yes, absolutely without question it did. WERE the fine Koolaid drinkers at B4B trying to say that the lower casualty numbers are evidence that Bush did a better job than the left was giving him credit for? Again, let's look at the B4B post in question:
Now I'm hearing some in the news suggest that maybe the evacuations were extremely successful. Perhaps looking back we'll learn that the loss of life wasn't nearly as high as predicted or initially estimated.

Of course, should that happen, watch the local government take the credit,
So the local government shouldn't take credit? Who then should? The Feds? OBVIOULSY That is the point being made here. But when did the Feds show up? Was it not after-the-fact as I said? Absolutely, it was.

So we find that my comment was 100% factual. BUT the anonymous coward from my comments says that I was wrong and that when wrong, one should expect to be hammerd. But it was he/she who was wrong, so what should he/she expect?

This:

Listen, you Bush-loving moron, making an observation should be an invitation to the blogger to re-examine his position and shoud be accompanied by facts. That's what I did at B4B where I was polite and accurate. You are more than welcome to leave similar comments on this page. However, brown-nosing the single worst president in American history when he has so clearly fucked-up the situation in question is neither helpful nor patriotic. It is dangerous and ultimately subversive to the true cause of liberty, you fascistic neanderthal. Now take your nose out of Bush's ass. There's not room for both yours AND Miers's this week.

Wasn't the mayor a DEMOCRAT, like YOU? Didn't he say there would be thousands of dead? didn't he leave thousands to die in the superdome?

Are you so stupid that you blame BUSH for what a democrat did? Isn't the governor a Democrat, too? Wow! A state full of idiots. Do YOU live there, too?
 
No, you fucking idiot, he didn't say there would be thousands dead. Fucking take a reading comprehension course and stop drinking the GOP Kool Aid, asshole.
