What will public's reaction be to Bolton's first meltdown? |
|
I remember a video that cycled around here when Bolton's name first came up. He was at some diplomatic conference, and I remember him pratically coming over the table at one of the other diplomats - screaming and frothing. It was alarming.
How do you think most people will react when they see this happening at the United Nations?

That's how I think most people will react. But I'm an incurable cynic.

4. That's my thinking, too. |
|
Most people are uncomfortable with confrontation - even when it's legitimate. But to see this whacko in action - I think people are in for a shock.

3. What makes you think they'll ever see it? |
|
The "liberal" media would have to show the footage, right? That'll happen. :sarcasm:

6. I think with Rove's recent troubles |
|
the press has begun to show a little more backbone lately. The WH press briefings have certainly been different. And in an international body such as the UN, there will be quite a lot of press there BESIDES the fascist-controlled US outlets.

9. The U.S. media will show it, but on limited market timeslots. Hard to find |
|
news catagories growing daily. "Bolton blowups" added today. Just hope the rational countries can mitigate his fascist efforts at taking the U.S. into the new dark ages.

16. Sigh, we will have to rely on footage from foreign press |
|
and BELIEVE ME they will show it, so some encrouagement there.
It is just a shame we would not see it from our own media.

Can you imagine this buffalo wandering around with the true diplomats? He actually ENJOYS pissing people off. He thinks that's his job. I think it will actually drive the other countries into "strange bedfellow" coalitions, the likes of which we've never seen.

7. Sadly, the foundation has been laid... |
|
and the propaganda has been sown...The UN is irrelevant and archaic in many of the Sheeples' minds....they will applaud his actions. :shrug:

10. I guess we'll see soon. |
|
That sentiment itself could ALSO be propaganda. I know it's the meme of the day, but I really wonder how far-reaching it really is.

and how far-reaching is it really? Just mention Clinton's name and the UN in the same sentence, and measure their reaction. Their propaganda is firmly rooted.
