Bush Derangement Syndrome versus Obama Derangement Syndrome<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 Under Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name, there are 47 listed rumors. Twenty were confirmed as true, and six were termed \u00e2\u20ac\u0153undetermined\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153unclassifiable veracity.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That left 21 that contained at least some factual errors. There were nearly double that number of listings for Obama, and the difference between fact and fiction was even more disturbing. Of the 87 rumors, just eight were deemed true, and three undetermined. That means a whopping 76 were either completely false or at least partially untrue.<\/em><\/p>\n

David Frum asks the question<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 How is it that the GOP has lost its antibodies against a candidate like Rand Paul?<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick question:\u00c2\u00a0 How is the GOP lost its antibodies against a candidate like George W Bush?\u00c2\u00a0 Is one, in part, an effect\u00c2\u00a0from another?\u00c2\u00a0 How is it the Democrats lost its antibodies against a candidate like Rod Blagojevich?
\nSay… How did the GOP lost its antibodies against a candidate like Newt Gingrich<\/a>?<\/p>\n

VIEIRA: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can you honestly compare what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going on with the Democrats with Nazi Germany?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

GINGRICH: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a question of how evil they were. Nazi Germany was terrible, Stalin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Russia was terrible, Mao\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s China was terrible. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a question of finality. Had we lost either of those contests, we would have become a radically different country.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

Bob Bennett, Senator of Utah<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 I urge all of the Tea Partyers to follow Reagan, not Carter. If they want their movement to be more than a wave that crashes on the beach and then recedes back into the ocean, leaving nothing behind but empty sand, they should stop the “gloom talk.” These are not the worst times we have ever faced, nor is the Constitution under serious threat.<\/em><\/p>\n
