George W. Bush and Dick Cheney made us less safe, in terms of getting bin Laden, in terms of intelligence gathering generally, and in terms of wasting the nation's good will with the world. Their efforts so much further antagonized Islamic extremists that they are themselves in part responsible for the intensity of our wars, for the extreme opposition and hatred towards the U.S. It is at their feet for doing the same things that made Nazis war criminals.
The reality is, the right HATES it that President Obama, WITHOUT USING TORTURE, gained the intel to get Osama bin Laden. They hate every success, they try to obstruct every action to improve and change, in order to try to cause him to fail ---- even when it hurts other Republicans, even when it is detrimental to the nation as a whole. THAT is unpatriotic, however much they try to obscure that disloyalty to the nation and our history.
WHY is the right - the right wing media, the right wing blogosphere, and of course, right wing political figures - so chronically factually inaccurate? Don't they realize that most of us live in the world of objective, factual reality where people fact check their assumptions? Because, when they simply spout crap so very often where the evidence is clear they are wrong, apparently maliciously wrong, it erodes their credibility (except with the right wing fantasy crowd of extremists). Here is Stewart with those too-often absent facts for this.
