- luskin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+93“The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive.” --Sam Harris
- kaelyiesta, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45I keep saying, bush et al are not stupid, just ***** insane. Messianic is exactly the right word to use.
- realclark, on 10/10/2007, -3/+38The Flying Spaghetti Monster told me to take control of Kansas so that I could produce mass amounts of durum wheat to make pasta.
- tehbored, on 10/10/2007, -4/+39If Bush thinks God is telling him to attack Iran, maybe he should see a psychiatrist.
- Noiremorte, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30What do you expect to hear? Bush is royally ***** up the world we live in. People are passionate about this issue and have just cause to rant about it. I'm glad people are saying something. It's better than sitting back and doing absolutely nothing all together.
- jcaino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21and you're going to get uber-spammed in 5....4...3...

All praises be to Zeus! Let his holy lightning strike our enemies and bring rain to our crops...and stuff! - quick2k2ecotec, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17what a ***** idiot!

- PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16there was another article about obama being called anti-american for not wearing his flag pin, and a digger commented that he read an onion story just like that.
onion imitating life, or life imitating onion? - EndersGame, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Looking at your history, it seems like this is an issue for you and the solution isn't to bury the story or complain about it in the thread. Now I hate spam just as much as the next person but in this case its VERY easy for you to do something about it. Leave shouts only open to friends, if somebody wants to shout something to you that bad they will add you as a friend. If you care that much what a complete stranger has to say to you, then live with the spam.

"Finally, the horrific misrule of the Democrats has been brought to a close," House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert (R-IL) told reporters. "Under Bush, we can all look forward to military aggression, deregulation of dangerous, greedy industries, and the defunding of vital domestic social-service programs upon which millions depend. Mercifully, we can now say goodbye to the awful nightmare that was Clinton's America." - sethosayher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Yeah, this is a trend I've been seeing a lot lately...Things get scary when satire becomes true.
- peppaz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15I work in a lock-down psychiatric unit, and one of the foremost signs of psychosis is the belief that you have conversed with "god". Just a little trivia...
- sethosayher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Ra is telling me the same thing...I'm guessing Odin's going to come along any day now...
- ferrofluid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12"Palestinian Authority" is the name of the official ruling government body in Palestinian. (West Bank, Gaza)
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I'm sure he's flying along on a cocktail of antidepressants already. Only drugged-up people can keep a straight face while saying what Bush says.
- felman87, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Isn't Satan the one who tells you to do terrible things?
- CheeseburgerBro, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Xenu tells me that Tom Cruise won't stand for this.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13You should try Free Republic or Little Green Footballs. They love George Bush and think he doing a "heck of a job.". No reality allowed. You should love it.
- DNABeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I always try to finish my current war before starting a new one.
- Gerz1219, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Nah, my eyebrows more or less remained at the same height. I'm pretty sure Bush has made several comments that indicate he believes God placed him in the Oval Office and commanded him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. Modern reporting depends heavily on anonymous sources, because it's considered impolite for senior government officials and diplomats to tell the truth on the record. For obvious reasons, Bush tends to keep his religious views vague and coded when he's speaking publicly, so as not to completely alienate the more secular fiscal conservatives that form a vital part of his coalition. But it's no secret that Bush is an evangelical Christian with some extremist beliefs. I find it highly plausible that Bush said some of these things, and that they were reported on condition of anonymity in order to avoid angering the Bush administration.
I also don't see how the anonymous Palestinian official would profit from his disclosure, since taken at face value, it indicates that Bush wants a peaceful two-state solution. This is consistent with his public position on Israel. If the two contradicted each other, you might have something. - jinglehopper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12yea and god told me that bush was the worst president in the history of the country
- tscholz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I'll just harvest some spaghetti from my spaghetti plants...
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11both make me cry.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Perhaps we can all just ignore Bush as he starts WW III for profit -- would that make your internet experience more enjoyable?
I'm an Apple fan -- but I'll agree with you there is too much of that. But it's our damn patriotic duty to pay attention to the fate of our nation -- so quit whining. - GhostFreeman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12God also told him to attack Iraq.
That turned out well... - Empyrean, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I think we need to be strengthening the separation of church and government.
- m0tbaillie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Nah, a psychiatrist would put him on drugs. Georgie has done enough drugs in his lifetime.
- replikhant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9The headline is not farfetched. If you have been paying attention, president Bush has been making links with God for quite some time. The BBC ran this story a few years ago: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2921345.stm
The New York Observer http://www.observer.com/node/45479
Interestingly, Abraham Lincoln never put God on his side during the civil war. He thought that the war was actually a curse over both armies. - ferrofluid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Who thinks the drugged up Faux celebs are pathetic?
How many times has Rush Laughable been arrested and fined for drug possession now! - loganhid, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11I believe in God but come on! Why the hell would God talk to Bush out of all people.
- watoowatooir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9" This is just some stupid blogspam that cites someone that hates Bush and an unnamed Palestinian politician "
take a look at this then : http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,158697 ... - Sogui, on 10/10/2007, -11/+19Nobody has questioned the reliability of this article?
The Guardian is relying on a statement from a "Palestinian authority" that won't be named, am I supposed to believe that some anonymous Palestinian authority heard this from Bush even though absolutely nobody else has? It also happens to be a potent bit of anti-Israel information... am I the only skeptic here?
"According to the Palestinian source Bush said:
‘I am driven with a mission from God’. God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did. And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East’. And, by God, I’m gonna do it."
Did this raise nobodies eyebrows as to the honesty or accuracy of this whole ordeal? - VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9As far as sources go -- sure, I agree, this is pretty weak.
But is it any weaker than a White House Press Briefing? It seems people seem to take the preponderance of comments about Bush being a jerk, as evidence to protect him from its ramifications. Should we also say that Satan isn't so bad, since so many negative things are said about him? And those sources are even more dubious -- I'm guessing there is more probability about the Bush comment than there is about the Satan thing. - Mise777, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If Bush does attack Iran, can he then declare a national emergency at home, invoke martial law, and suspend the 2008 elections?
- ferrofluid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Important to wear red shoes in Kansas
- ciaran036, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8oh ***** off George Bush you stupid bastard. God is telling you ***** all.
- sethosayher, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Either Bush is insane or the God he's talking to needs some therapy.
- ferrofluid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Maybe they are hoping for third time lucky, or forth or...
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6And yet if he's does claim to be talking to god, either he's talking to himself, or God is ***** with him just to see how many boneheaded things he'll do before taking up cocaine again.

THE
*****
UP - VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I don't think Religion has anything to do with what Bush thinks -- it's all about useful fools to them.
When rumors of Bush getting messages from God circulate -- I find they are more reliable than what Tony Snow has to say. It's when he is telegraphing to the Fundamentalist Base what he wants them to prepare for. They love his "coded messages." If you've spent any time talking to Fundamentalists, you get a lot of these type of coded messages in their language -- it's like a secret handshake. - jessehadden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6God has spent more than 6,000 years telling different people from all over the world that the Middle East is "their promised land," and that they must kill whatever heathens they find infesting it. Maybe god thinks it's funny. I think it's time we stopped listening to the jagoff, personally...
- ferrofluid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Ramen bud :)
we could go block up their toilets too for a laugh.
All those Christian SUVs Hummers could be recycled into chicken coops, or mobile brothels.
give their vacant houses to 'illegals' or poor people, solve the housing crisis too. - sethosayher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Because this is the glorious age of comfort and apathy, where convenience supercedes morality and excess is the norm. Welcome to America bud.
