this all why the far left called bush

-illegitimate
-war criminal
- a dictator
- somebody who is a threat to American democracy
- called him racist

All of these were so outrageous that DU , TYT , all the far left commentators should apologize for using such malicious lies against Dubya

so anybody from the far left willing to apologize for this

For what? Those are pretty standard lines used against any President.

Calling someone a war criminal you think is not outrageously bad .

Maybe he shouldn't have broken the Geneva Convention then?
