Say Anything Blog

The Bush team and this blog has been referring to their “offensive” for a couple months now.  Like I said before, what’s the difference between an offensive and an attack?

MI:

You have to remember that in Rob’s world, any media that doesn’t simply cut-and-paste White House press releases is guilty of “lberal bias.”

My issue is that they call it an “offensive” (a series of attacks), but then don’t like it when the media uses the word attack.

The proper term is “counter-attack”, but then that would require telling the truth, something we really don’t expect from the MSM.

You should tell the writer of this blog entry, then, that he is misleading his readers.

Going on offense, which means (in this instance) taking an active role in refuting their allegations, is not equivalent to “attacking” them, which carries a very negative connotation that is not warranted.

Which you know, of course, but will ignore.

I’m not surprised that you would pretend not to get the point of this post, MI.  You know dang well that classifying Bush’s response to his critics as an “attack” on them is misleading, but its convenient for your politics to ignore that.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Offense 3 a : the act of attacking : ASSAULT b : the means or method of attacking or of attempting to score c : the offensive team or members of a team playing offensive positions.

This was the definition I was using:

Of or relating to a team having possession of a ball or puck: the offensive line.

And again, you know what I meant, even if you’re pretending not to now.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

That’s your tired claim. Just, whatever you do, don’t explain yourself when you make this claim.
