  • SheilaNoya, on 05/15/2008, -34/+161Bush's argument...

    - We should never sit down and talk with people we don't like to try and resolve our problems peacefully.
    - We should pre-emptively kill people and destroy their entire country, just in case we are right.

  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -34/+50Stating his opinion is a smear job? Please. Obamatardation is rampant on Digg.
  • johnomaz, on 05/15/2008, -17/+32So the writer decided to use his own opinion and call it fact. People seriously, STFU. Do you think Bush says something and it is done? If you want to blame someone, blame the whole government. Everyone is on a "hate bush' rampage. No matter what, he is wrong. I bet if he withdrew every last troop in the war and called the whole thing off, people would still hate him and find something of fault in it.
    You people are rediculous. I'd love to see any one of you be put in his place and see how you do. You'd cry home to mommy after you piss yourself a few times.
    Am I a fan of Bush. No, I'm not. But he is still the president of our country. Learn to have a little respect.
  • Albear89, on 05/15/2008, -31/+46Buried cuz it's Huffington Post. enough already!
  • jpd272, on 05/15/2008, -7/+20I guess I missed it. Where did he mention Obama? I thought he was talking about Jimmy Carter. If Obama doesn't support talking to terrorist or state sponsors, why would anyone think this speach is directed at Obama?
  • JaNkz, on 05/15/2008, -12/+25I don't like bush very much either.. But Paul Begala should be ashamed of him self if he considers this journalism. If anybody is smearing someone, it's the author of this ridiculously opinionated article.
  • masterm1nd, on 05/15/2008, -29/+40BREAKING: Huffpost uses description to launch hypocritical smear campaign.
  • dontwhine, on 05/15/2008, -10/+19lets put our difference aside for a minute. what bush said is historically accurate. now you can bury me
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -6/+15There are enemies that you can negotiate with and there are some that you cannot negotiate with. Neville negotiated with Germany, even made a big show when he got off the plane showing the piece of paper the agreement was written on. What happened next? You know the story.


    You cannot negotiate with the current leadership in control of Iran.

    Just last week the little man said that Israel would soon be destroyed by the Palestinians.

    Which is pretty funny because the destruction of Israel means certain destruction for Iran, and any other country involved.

    Just remember the Palestinians and Israelis have been "negotiating" for 60 years.


  • schnikies79, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10And when the Florida recount was finished, he still came out ahead so it made no difference.

    Face it, Bush won. It sucks, I wish it didn't happen, but he did and every American that voted for him is to blame. Claiming "we were cheated" is just a lame way to try and look better.
  • issachar, on 05/15/2008, -6/+15Did I miss the part where Bush actually mentioned Obama? Because to me the quote in the article looks like an attack on the straw man of "the appeaser". I see no mention of Obama or reason to infer that Obama is an "appeaser".

    Note, I'm not defending Bush, his Presidency or defending Obama. I just don't see how the Bush quote in the article relates to Obama in any way. It's a standard political attack on a strawman.
  • HeavyWaters, on 05/15/2008, -10/+18Whenever this many liberals freak out about something, you know someone, somewhere, spoke the truth.

    Not that I'm any fan of GW, but what he said was 100% accurate and he didn't even reference Obama. So Obama has embarrassed himself and admitted to fitting the characterization. And of course it does fit being that he is the most liberal Senator in Congress who has literally said he would sit down and talk to the Hitler of Iran.
  • maxor, on 05/15/2008, -19/+27How does this have 201 diggs? Are you people all brainwashed obamaites?
  • womensgroup, on 05/15/2008, -3/+11I Agree. US Politics has taken a step beyond any decency or moral dignity.
  • aaabatteries, on 05/15/2008, -0/+7Well thought-out nonbiased posts, on MY digg?
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -2/+9Because he's the kind of guy people would "Have a beer with". ***** retards.
  • DocCochran, on 05/15/2008, -16/+22This is in another article still on the front page, for crying out loud.

    Buried.
  • schnikies79, on 05/15/2008, -9/+15He didn't steal *****, the jackass won and the American people are to blame for it. Simple as that.

  • superkendall, on 05/15/2008, -3/+8We have been negotiating with Iran for years, and have not attacked them to date. What more are you looking for?

    Should we not indicate that we dislike them developing nuclear weapons until little bits of Israelis are wafting through the atmosphere?

  • DivisibleByZero, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5You see, he mentioned the Holocaust.
    So clearly he was calling all Democrats Nazi appeasers.
    And Obama is a Democrat.
    And it's especially offensive to Obama since he's black, and we all know Nazis hated Jewish people.

    Duh, don't you know anything about politics? How do you not see the logic in all of that?
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -2/+7You really have to give it to Bush, he is able to unite the Democrats with most Independents and some Republicans against him. Great work! Thank you sir!
  • kiapolo, on 05/15/2008, -2/+7Look like a lot of liberals here have not read the "Animal Farm"...

    ...A President simply recalls history and liberals get all up in arms!

    "Four legs good, two legs better!"

    President Bush was speaking Truth to Power!
  • lead2thehead, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5As you will soon find out, facts and logic are frowned upon in the Bush bashing threads. If you point out inconsistencies in their arguments, they'll bury you... not because they think you're wrong, but because they're embarrassed by their own ignorance.
  • m0tbaillie, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6Says some ***** who has probably never served a day in the service.
  • ashfish, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5No one caught him with an intern between his legs.
  • shanson13, on 05/15/2008, -2/+7I'll echo HeavyWaters...if the libs are freaking out, then someone must have spoken the TRUTH and now its spin spin spin time! You know, Hamas and Hezbollah leaders are praying to Allah that Obama is elected right? Why do you think that is? Because he will "talk" to them? NO...because if he is elected, they know they will be able to kill and terrorize in the name of Allah to their hearts desire...without a US president who remembers 9/11 and is committed to eradicating those responsible. Libs don't want to talk about the absolute truth that Islam means "Submission" and the only "peace" that islamic jihadists know is the "peace" that exists under sharia law! They will only stop when WE (the infidels) submit and proclaim that Allah is the one true god, and Mohammad is his messenger, or if We are all dead. So stop Osama, Obama and Chelsea's Mama in 08! Ok...now you libs can bury me to your leftist hearts content. Oh yeah...BURIED, its the Huffington Post after all LOL
  • schnikies79, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Hanging chad? That was a problem years before bush ever ran for election. We had the exact same problem in our county in the early 90's.
  • Gojirra, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5You know some of those "4000+ finest" were probably "darkies"
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -9/+14Did anyone just see Chris Matthews on Hardball completely destroy the right wing talk radio scum bag Kevin James? He didn't know the difference between appeasement and diplomacy. It was one of the best smack downs of an ignorant anti-American Republican talk radio scum bag I have ever seen.

  • GutterBall1200, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4And he's also the type of guy who'll leave you stuck with the bill.
  • CabesMojo, on 05/15/2008, -3/+7Good lord, could the Obama crew be more sensitive and self centered? Hey here is a newsflash, not everything said is automatically about you. In fact they've have already come out and said it wasn't directed towards Obama this morning, but then again its much more inflammatory to just ignore that and freak out.
  • DivisibleByZero, on 05/15/2008, -7/+11Wow, with all that dramatic build up I was expecting him to have done something a little more sinister than invoking Godwin's Law. Do the guys over at the Huffington Post have blood pressure problems or something? (because you know who else had blood pressure problems....)
  • Roger_Ramjet, on 05/16/2008, -2/+6Bush never called Obama by name in the speech. NEVER. He was impugning the philosophy and never mentioned the man. "Me thinks thou doth protesteth too much."

    Burying as wholely INACCURATE.
  • floorman56, on 05/16/2008, -0/+4he Munich Agreement gave the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in an attempt to satisfy his desire for Lebensraum or "living space" for Germany. The German occupation of the Sudetenland began on the next day, 1 October.

    One year after the agreement, following continued aggression from Germany and its invasion of Poland, Europe was plunged into World War II.
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Bush has put a bunch of toe-tags on ***** who richly deserved it and made membership in Al Qaeda a risky venture.
    Afghanistan is, for the first time since 1979, operating a populary elected gov't. Iraq is ruled by one of its first.
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Win... appointed... whats your point?
    The supreme court wouldn't have to appoint him to anything if the votes weren't that close. To blame the supreme court for the asshat president is ridiculous. The American people voted enough time for him so that the election result was contestable, even after all the stupid stuff he did in his first term.
    In a sane world, Bush wouldn't have had that many vote. Don't blame the court for selecting your president, you guys did bring him upon yourselves.
  • ucigangsta, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5Darky. Really? There was nothing more intelligent or even slightly witty you could have called him other than darky. I hate how dumb ass bigots have to constantly remind me that I will never really be seen as an actual human being in this country. I will always be seen as the darky/*****/coon/etc... Thank you. I think I'm gonna go look up Canada's immigration policy. Maybe they'll be slightly more accepting of a "darky" like myself.
  • SmokinOkie, on 05/15/2008, -4/+8That's not what he said dumbass
  • 12DHutch, on 05/15/2008, -36/+39How on earth did this arrogant moron come to represent the US? Oh, right; I remember now--He and his cronies stole the election. Then they wrecked the country. He should be ashamed to show his face overseas considering how he's damaged the US image with his foreign policy (or should I say, lack of). I know I'm ashamed of him.
  • HeavyWaters, on 05/15/2008, -5/+8Congratulations SheilaNola. That was one of the most ill-informed, overwrought, and fallacious arguments I've ever seen on digg.
  • R0am3r, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3Bury the Huffingtonpost as spam. Maybe someday this drivel will end.
  • inactive, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4The Senator doth protest too much, methinks. Why would he howl if it weren't true? How will Obama, a modern day Neville Chamberlain, explain that he is a favorite among Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaida, and Islamic Jihad? The President did rightly to frame this issue among those who would suffer most from Obama's ludicrous policies, the Israelis.
  • sonofblacula, on 05/15/2008, -3/+6Your logical chain just went from A to Q with nothing in between. Totally unfounded conjecture about two people whom you know next to nothing about must be fun. Hey, can you tell me one about Puff the Magic Dragon too, since you're already making ***** up off the top of your head?

    You can cancel your digg account now.
  • masterm1nd, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4I like to drink with Santa Clause but that's not what he means.
  • xike, on 05/15/2008, -4/+6While I disagree with everything bush said, I think the author's comparison of terrorists with Iran, Libya, and North Korea is equally appalling.
  • khail250, on 05/15/2008, -25/+27Why, will we never impeach him?
