THE ORIGINS OF BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
There's a slight difference between (some, not all) of the stuff usually classified as CDS and the BDS idiocy. In the former case, for instance, Kathleen Willey reported that *her* cat had disappeared, *her* tires had been slashed, and, after that, *she* was accosted by a stranger on a jogging path who asked about *her* cat, questioned why *she* didn't "get it" and suggested that *her* children might be next.
The BDS folks claim that W's policy (on, say, GitMo imprisonment of unlawful combatants) might lead to some US citizen who opposed W's policies maybe in the future maybe being sent to GitMo and tortured. Or (unnamed thousands of conspirators in and out of the government) colluded to, in the dead of a single night, rig WTC7 to collapse on cue just after their buddies flew the jets into WTC1 and 2. Or that "powerful forces" in the Republican party would impose a draft if W were elected in 2004 -- when the only "powerful forces" suggesting same were high-ranking Democrats.
No specifics: like "my friend Bob is in GitMo right now, because he waved a "Kerry/Edwards" flag at a Bush rally" or "Fred W. Philbin of New Jersey was a demolitions expert who directed one of the WTC7 demolition teams."
If Monica hadn't saved her souvenier, she'd be just another byword in the endless "CDS" pantheon.
