    He isn't the one engaging in "Bush bashing".

    He is replying to a reply to a reply to a comment about how this is about "Bush bashing".

    That first post was a troll that included the troll phrase "Bush bashing". People replied to the troll.

    People replied to the people who replied to the troll.

    People replied to the people who replied to the people who replied to the troll.

    Now you're getting bent out of shape because you cannot distinguish between one of those 3rd generation replies and the original troll.

    That's simple Pavlovian response on your part. You react to the phrase you've seen and not to the content of the message you are replying to.

    THAT'S HOW TROLLING WORKS.
