re: #11 Charles
Your point about Bush’s calls for tolerance is right — but that’s not what Reynolds is saying at all. He’s referring to the “bull-horn” speech, which was a threat and a promise to attack Al Qaeda. There was nothing about tolerance in that speech.
Reynolds thinks threatening, violent rhetoric is what kept Americans from attacking Muslims after 9/11, and Obama isn’t doing enough of that. It’s so fucking sick and twisted I almost don’t believe it.
Even with a bull-horn, Bush did not declare war on Islam as a whole. But that’s part of the reason Glenn and co. now think of George W. Bush as a RINO. Which is sick because few men are as loyal to their party and nation as either President Bush.
