- neognostic, on 06/16/2008, -12/+221Bush, we are not slandering America, we are standing up for justice and the rights of all people. Nice try with the "If you ain't with us, you are against us" diatribe. STFU you ass.
- hawkeye17, on 06/16/2008, -7/+133Bush is basically a Fascist but he's too stupid to know it. History will not be kind.
- rawg, on 06/16/2008, -6/+125Typical ad hominem attack. Can't respond to the argument so attack the person making it.
Adam Boulton: ”there are many who say that some of the Bush administration’s torture and detention policies represent “the complete opposite of freedom.”
Bush: "Oh yeah. Well, you're the complete opposite of freedom. You can't criticize me, I'm the President... of America... and you're just a stupid reporter."
I wouldn't trust Bush to water my plants. How did he become President of the USA? - gypsi, on 06/16/2008, -6/+117bush is a traitor to the ideals of the founding fathers
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -5/+100It's not slander if it's true.
- toddcat, on 06/16/2008, -5/+87Oooh..the mental midget's upset. Waaaaaaaa...
- Insightful, on 06/16/2008, -4/+69So we will all be deemed domestic enemy combatants and thus habeas corpus and Constitution will not apply.
- thepoliticalcat, on 06/16/2008, -7/+66Who even listens to this traitorous idiot any more? He has sold the country piecemeal to the rich and to foreigners.
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -5/+57Why isn't the American corporate media asking these questions? Because they are part of the problem.
- bigp3rm, on 06/17/2008, -3/+44***** you man. SO sick of you. Just go away already.
- HuskyPuzzle, on 06/17/2008, -4/+45It doesn't matter anymore what Bush says or thinks. He's going down as the worst president in American history and he'll probably retire on the ranch and become steadily more senile every single day.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 06/17/2008, -3/+41Hey Bush -- YOU are not actually America, the flag, apple pie, the troops or some divinity. The "slander" as you call it is towards you, your corruption, and the cronies you put in place to embezzle.
-- I hope I cleared that up for you. - craighoxton, on 06/17/2008, -2/+39Elect me once, shame on you. Elect me twice...I won't get fooled again
- plhofmei, on 06/17/2008, -4/+41According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Goering) -- Hermann Goering, one of the top leaders of the Third Reich, once said (back in the 40's):
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. A ll you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country"
Does this sound familiar to anyone? - atomicrobot, on 06/17/2008, -1/+33***** George Bush.
Seriously, this immoral sociopath took a great country and pissed all over everything that was good about it. He has turned the USA into a detestable bullying, saber-rattling *****-in-a-camaro superpower. Shame on you, George. I hope you choke on a pretzel. - sfacets, on 06/17/2008, -3/+33If anyone is slandering America, George W. Bush is.
- FearFactory, on 06/17/2008, -3/+32Spoken like a true chimp.
- CoolHandLuke70, on 06/17/2008, -1/+29Oh, Bush knows it --- he is just a bad actor! He knows that he has to say something other than "ya, we are secretly replacing your Bill of Rights with a heaping pile of cow dung"! And don't get me wrong, I do not think that he is super intelligent, but he is intelligent enough to know what he is doing! AND, he is receiving orders NOT giving them!
- 471776, on 06/17/2008, -3/+29Bush is slandering America.
- damonic, on 06/17/2008, -2/+28I think that Hitler had the same opinion about his foreign policy...
- Ebonsteel, on 06/17/2008, -3/+29*****. He stole both elections.
- InvisibleInk, on 06/17/2008, -5/+31So sue me, George. I'll see you in court!
- Waiting2awake, on 06/17/2008, -2/+27Now you are starting to see....all the pieces fall in place...
Man America - wouldn't it be good if you dealt with these guys when the worst they did was steal an election? - Stavrosian, on 06/17/2008, -0/+25I really wish I had saved a video I saw some time ago of a British journalist interviewing then defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The journalist was questioning him about his use of the term "so-called occupied territory" with regard to Palestine, and Rumsfeld flat-out denied ever having said it and started talking about something else.
At this point, the journalist presented him with the minutes from the meeting where he had said it. ***** guy didn't know what to do, actually facing a journalist who stood up to him without fear of being denied access to the White House. To my recollection, he just sat there stunned for a few seconds and then sheepishly apologized. It would be nice to see more of these people actually called out by the media. - BobScratchit, on 06/17/2008, -2/+27Slamming torture is slamming America? That's what the headline seems to convey.
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -2/+27Technically we only elected him once. . .
- AnarkeIncarnate, on 06/17/2008, -1/+25You mean Human Rights? Those? Oh yeah, why should we treat people like humans?
If I make an enemy my friend, have I not destroyed my enemy? (A quote by Abraham Lincoln).
Douchebags like you are the ass pimples of society. - growler1, on 06/17/2008, -1/+24America wasn't started with the notion that only certain groups of people have rights.
See "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
That's by a guy named Thomas Jefferson. President Bush should look into him sometime. - WNW3, on 06/17/2008, -1/+23I would trust him to water my plants...or clear brush. He seems to do that pretty good back on the ranch.
- Stemnin, on 06/17/2008, -6/+28Only a sith deals in absolutes!
- chicoer2001, on 06/17/2008, -3/+24I wonder what Bush would think if Blackwaters men where held by the Taliban without any trials for years. After all, they could be seen as enemy combatants.
- CoolHandLuke70, on 06/17/2008, -8/+29If you guys want to have a preview of what the celebrations will be like when Bush leaves office, just fast forward to the end of The Return of the Jedi!
I still cannot rid myself of the suspicion that the Bush admin. will create a false flag terror attack that will lead to W implementing martial law and that nifty new 'Continuity of Government' plan that his administration wrote and denied Congress from viewing by saying that it is too radical for them to peruse! Of course, I expect W to use this as an excuse to suspend elections or just plain remain in office!
But folks, if McClone or the Obama Kid make it to office, don't expect much change from the current general status quo, it will not happen! - ClosedCaption, on 06/17/2008, -1/+19When did critisizing Bush become slandering America? I dont remember Bush BECOMING America.
- tj111, on 06/17/2008, -2/+20The fact that there are people out there that and somehow agree with him, and criticize free-thinking people as anti-American, makes me nervous about the future of this country.
- Waiting2awake, on 06/17/2008, -3/+21I hope not - if he is anywhere other than in a cell, America has tougher times coming. Without accountability - whats to stop the next president? Their word?
- notSLICK, on 06/17/2008, -3/+21 when GWB eventualy passes away. i am gonna celebrate that day every year until i pass away too.
- Thrilltone, on 06/17/2008, -6/+23If Britain & France had any balls, instead of kissing W's ass,
they would have been honest, like the Dixie Chicks were and noted what a disgrace and embarassment and severe danger the creep is. - sandersdamnit, on 06/17/2008, -3/+19This is the kinda ***** you get when you back a ***** into a corner.
- Stavrosian, on 06/17/2008, -1/+17It's a remarkable PR job done by Bush and his party over the last few years. Every time anybody attacks them personally, they have successfully managed to fool people into thinking that the criticism was actually an attack on the principles of the USA. An attack on democracy itself, even.
Whatever else may be true of these people, let it never be said that they are not remarkable politicians in that regard. The deception they have managed to spin so easily, in the face of so much evidence, through this tactic is nothing short of astounding. - RAGEdemon, on 06/17/2008, -2/+18STFU racist redneck scum.
Ever heard the concept of "innocent till proven gulty?" Guatmo is a detention center mostly for those who have little or no evidence against them and have no access to a fair civilian trial - they suffer torture and are detained indefinitely. It's not about American and non American. It's about basic human rights!
This is not the way to curb terrorism. The only meaningful way is to stop invading their countries and killing 100,000 civilians for THEIR oil.
I'm not condoning terrorism, but if a man's children and wife are killed by invaders, would you blame him if he wants to get revenge any way he can? Would you not do the same in his position?
The poster above is quite correct: there are no absolutes. Everyone is in the wrong.
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" -- Mahatma Gandhi
And indeed how blind we all seem to be... - inactive, on 06/17/2008, -2/+17Oh that's ridiculous. Fascists accomplish things.
- Stavrosian, on 06/17/2008, -1/+16It has been embarrassing to see my own nation's government follow that idiot's lead every step of the way. Tony Blair might be even worse than Dubya, because maybe he actually had the intelligence to see the stupidity of what he doing, but went ahead and did it anyway.
- orientis, on 06/17/2008, -7/+22I would suggest, for your viewpoint to make any logical sense in the coming decades, that you come to view "poor foreigners" as 'the same' as yourself. The real problem with the US politically has been the history of hundreds of years of rule by rich white elites. As the global community' becomes less of a hype word and more of a reality, you can either switch your viewpoint to a global scale or keep thinking parochially.
I can't believe people still use the word 'foreigner'. How such a Christian nation became so bigoted I'll never know. - VitriolAndAngst, on 06/17/2008, -2/+17I think the purple fingers in Iraq were a better system to verify the vote there than the election we had.
But, 45% of the voters were happy with it, and thought that somehow they were the majority of votes. Strange that MOST voters thought something was fishy. - an0nymous, on 06/17/2008, -2/+17You do know they posted the whole interview directly from SkyNews, right? As well as as directly transcribing his words? What spin are you seeing?
... - herbertstrasse, on 06/17/2008, -1/+16Honestly, it's like the Bush administration took the Nazi playbook and just ran with it.
I'm not going to make the contrived Bush/Hitler comparison, but the propagandist techniques employed by both regimes are remarkably similar.
I recommend reading "The End of America" by Naomi Wolf for a true glimpse into the extent of these comparisons. - bcamp1973, on 06/17/2008, -1/+15Every time that moronic ***** opens his mouth I hate him more...
- angusm, on 06/17/2008, -3/+17Mr Bush seems to be having a dose of the Louis XIV's: "L'etat c'est moi". ('I am the state'). It may be time to remind him that he is _not_ the United States, and if he is - temporarily - its figurehead, well, that was a mistake that is now regretted by a large majority of the population.
- jsmith39, on 06/17/2008, -1/+15actually no, most of them were neither bigots or slave owners. That said.. yes we have come along way since then, and in the last 7 years we've fallen back a long ways too.
- laserblazer, on 06/17/2008, -1/+14They're called traitors and they will sip from the cup of woe.
