Bush makes terrorist threat to NYT reporter

By Carol Wolman

Sept 15th: Bush said the following in his press conference yesterday, to Adam Clymer, the NY Times reporter whom President Bush referred to as a 'major league asshole' in 2000:

"I'll never forget your face! I will kill you, your brothers, your mother, and sisters!"

It's chilling. Our so-called Christian president sounds more like a Mafia don. Not to mention that terrorist threats are against the law.

Gospel
Lk 6:43-49

Jesus said to his disciples:
"A good tree does not bear rotten fruit,
nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit.
For people do not pick figs from thornbushes,
nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good,
but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil;
for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.

The president can't be prosecuted for the crime of a terrorist threat until he is impeached and removed from office. Impeachment is peaceful, legal and democratic. Let's elect an impeaching Congress in November!

In the name of the Prince of Peace,

Carol Wolman
Candidate for Congress - nonpartisan, write-in
CA District 1

1. It's a joke by Al Franken.

Bush was quoting what an anonymous prisoner supposedly said.

2. um...

that audio clip gives absolutely no context to show that it was said to the reporter. Is there any other source that has this?

[melnjones]

4. Nevermind...clearly not in context.

[Eric J in MN]

9. Here is the real context.

Al Franken made a joke that Bush was addressing a reporter. He wasn't.

From a Bush speech on September 6, 2006:
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Transcript_President_Bush_explains_how_CIA_0906.html

One detainee held at Guantanamo told a questioner (at ?) questioning -- he said this: "I'll never forget your face. I will kill you, your brothers, your mother and your sisters."

3. I didn't hear him say this...

What was it in response to?
Was he saying that "the terrists" were saying that?

[annabanana]

5. whew... just the same old terra terra terra crap... . .n/t

10. Was it a spontaneous threat or spoken after months/years of torture?

It'd be nice to know the context...which we never will.

[Eric J in MN]

12. Lots of reasonable possibilities.

He may have been tortured.

He may be held to this day without the Red Cross being informed.

He may be held to this day without his family being informed.

6. Sounds spliced-together to me.

[Eric J in MN]

8. It's not spliced together, but Bush was quoting what

...an anonymous prisoner supposedly told an interrogator.

[tuvor]

11. Ah. Thank you.

There ARE some pretty convincing splices out there, though.
