Sunday, August 22, 2004Bush Bashing Nears Overkill [EN]Thanks to Michael Moore and his 100 M US$ in ticket sales, it has become fashionable to portray the Bush administration as a threat to America and the world, filled with bullying religiosity, brash militarism and bizarre views on everything, from gay marriage to parking tickets. Just a bunch of Jewish neo-cons vying to trick us all into letting them to dominate the world.
 I think the whole fad (movies, a litany of books, cartoons and after-hours talk shows) starts to smack of overkill.
I mean, their bidding to make that man look repellent is so hysterical, the rhetoric is so overwrought –often crudely indulging in the techniques of subliminal advertising, like Moore but with less art- that Bush’s image starts to emerge revamped, more sympathetic by the day. In the next election, I personally tend to favor Kerry. My choice doesn’t mean that I think that Bush has been a bad president, let alone the unsavory character concocted by people like Ted Rall. I just have the hunch that, in the actual situation, with this war to be fought, Kerry may be a better president; I do feel that George W. Bush really needs a rest.  But now all this hateful, unrelenting Bush bashing is sort of chafing my rationale for voting Kerry into office. Seeing the greed and the hysteria of many of those Bush bashers, I feel so bone-tired that the temptation to support him surges almost naturally from the bottom of my aesthetical little me… Long live the under dog! And then suddenly I start feeling that Bonanza was a dam’ good TV show.
Overkill and perception conveyance. Man, do we live in a nasty world!
