Repulsive progressive hypocrisy

During the Bush years, Guantanamo was the core symbol of right-wing radicalism and what was back then referred to as the “assault on American values and the shredding of our Constitution”: so much so then when Barack Obama ran for President, he featured these issues not as a secondary but as a central plank in his campaign. But now that there is a Democrat in office presiding over Guantanamo and these other polices — rather than a big, bad, scary Republican — all of that has changed, as a new Washington Post/ABC News poll today demonstrates:

In fairness, both sides do this... this is what happens in the utra-partisan modern society. What one side complains about the others doing, they support when their guys do it...

Just like Media lashed out on George Bush when Gas went $3 a gallon. But when Gas went $3 a gallon under Obamas watch the media stayed silent on it.
