A Reason for Hate

Via Instapundit, Dr. Sanity, a blogger in my own backyard, discusses Bush Derangement Syndrome:

The number of things that Bush has been blamed for in this world since 9/11 (even acts of God like Tsunamis, hurricanes and other natural disasters) is the stuff of major comedy. You name the horrible event, and he is identified as the etiologic agent.

He is blamed when he does something (anything) and he is blamed when he does nothing. He is blamed for things that ocurred even before he was President, as well as everything that has happened since. He is blamed for things he says; and for things he doesn't say.

What makes Bush Hatred completely insane however, is the almost delusional degree of unremitting certitude of Bush's evil; while simultaneously believing that the TRUE perpetrators of evil in the world are somehow good and decent human beings with the world's intersts at heart.

This psychological defense mechanism is referred to as "displacement".

Listen. She uses the word "etiologic" for goodness sake.

But I guess I must stand corrected. I thought the Bush haters were just effing idiots. Who knew they're clinically nuts?
