BUSH APPROVES DESTRUCTION OF CROSSES HONORING THE DEAD.

[understandinglife]

Unless he says otherwise, on National TV, sometime before 8am CDT, 16 August 2005.

And, we should all be demanding, via emails to [e-mail], that he get up with the dawn on August 16, 2005 and join Cindy Sheehan and others in repairing and restoring the crosses in the Crawford ditch.

It's the least a hard-working, good ol'boy Christian can do.

This is the second in the series of "memes".

The first is "BUSH KILLED HER SON AND DESTROYED HER FAMILY":

Expect more.

Make it stick folks.


Peace.

1. " It's the least a hard-working, good ol'boy Christian can do."

And don't let anyone say bush won't do the least he can do.

[understandinglife]

44. Georgie, it's at the top of Google News for the US and you still ...

... haven't condemned the desecration.

54. GEORGE, DO YOU DIG CRUSHED CROSSES AND MUDDY FLAGS?

Don't want to disturb your cookies and milk, Georgie, but it's time for you to get in front of the press and condemn what happened down the road from your prairie chapel ....

You can then take a much deserved nap ...


Peace.

[blondeatlast]

57. Why, you can count on it every time! You have to admire that kind

kind of consistency.


Okay, maybe not. :shrug:

70. Well here's another handbill

to let people know just how little Bush will do.

12. That's the one. n/t

[wake.up.america]

8. I think America is in trouble BIG TIME. Bush won't condemn destruction.. .

of the crosses. Not worth his time. Apparently, martial law will be declared. Call off future elections.

Bush sees no need to appeal to the growing majority

6. My mother said he probably ordered it

I wouldn't be a bit surprised!

[bvar22]

10. Bush* did not deny that the had ordered the destruction of the crosses!

Hey, if it works on Fox News.
:shrug:

[eleny]

11. You're mom is a right on sister!

I ran that idea up the flagpole to my hubby earlier and he isn't buying it. He's convinced it's a local yahoo who had a few and got the brilliant, drunken idea to go out and show them 'librals' what's up in Texas. We talked about the gov't infiltrating and disrupting peace marches and union organizing and he agreed about that completely. But he's not as hip as your mom on this one!

[JFN1]

Is there confirmation on this?

I'd like to do a handbill, one that includes a picture of the crosses before they were destroyed. Anyone have a link for this story?

[understandinglife]

15. "Unless he says otherwise, on National TV, sometime before 8am CDT, 16

...August, 2005". Per original post.

We are putting Bush on notice.

If he doesn't condemn, in clear language that even he can understand, what was done, then we are going to corner him all directions with this meme.

And, more.


Peace.

[understandinglife]

18. And, welcome to DU "JFN1" -- I'm attempting to cause much grief ...

.... for Bush; as much as possible.

I'll generate one meme after another faster than him and all his propagandists combined, if that is what it takes to help Cindy Sheehan and Congressman Conyers and others to break this traitorous dictator and motivate millions of our fellow citizens to force him and his neoconster fellow war criminals to resign and face the law.


Peace.

[JFN1]

31. thanks!

Keep on shouting the truth from the rooftops. Bush cannot very well condemn this desecration, for to do so acknowledges and legitimizes Cindy and what she stands for. Bush will never do that.

13. This could be a HUGE opportunity

for the liberal side to effectively take back the cross from the neo-cons (not that they want or need it, but some resent it having been co-opted).

What better imagery than what occurred tonight, to demonstrate who really stands against the cross (and what it represents -- and not just in a cemetery).

[natrat]

60. bush is such an idiot

he could score so many points picking up crosses or whatever. What an inept politician. How the fuck did he get elected. Oh that's right , he didn't.

[Hepburn]

14. I am betting that asshole...

...got off on those crosses being struck down. Shit, he does not give a shit about the REAL soldiers, why would he give a shit about crosses with their names on them.

[Al-CIAda]

17. I can hear Bush* now ...

As more details emerge, more handbills will, too.

29. Everything we say should be as truthful and accurate as possible.

They are the party of lies, deceit, manipulation and confusion - not us.

[JFN1]

30. I totally agree

And if Bush ever condemns this, I'll alter the handbill accordingly, for you are 100% correct - we must never stoop to lies. If we fail in the truth, we forfeit everything we stand for. But I'll bet dollars to doughnuts Bush will not condemn this, and if he does, he will do it in his sideways manner whereby a great circle will be navigated, ending, as usual, in soundbites without substance.

[Al-CIAda]

:thumbsup:

[Burried News]

37. Every minute they spend manipulating because of us

is one less minute they get to screw up something. Put sand in the machine - sand in the machine. Pure hard clean sand.

If our troops have to choke in the sands of Iraq let those who sent them there know what it feels like to choke to death in dust.

[central scrutinizer]

32. The silence is deafening

Where are the Republican voices regarding Camp Casey? I don't expect them to support what Cindy Sheehan is doing or saying, but why aren't they publicly speaking out against the harassment the protestors are suffering. They scream First Amendment whenever anybody tries to limit corporate campaign donations yet have no problem with "Free Speech Zones" miles from where Bush is speaking.

They have trotted out their favorite strawman - the Flag Burning Amendment -yet are silent when a pickup truck runs over and desecrates hundreds of American flags at Camp Casey.

They want the Ten Commandments posted everywhere and claim that "people of faith" are being persecuted by Democratic filibusters, yet are silent when hundreds of crosses planted by sincere people of faith are desecrated. Hypocrites, every one of them.

Bush has painted himself into a corner and too much time has passed for him to meet with Cindy Sheehan now. He won't or can't admit to making a mistake and is trapped in his own "stay the course" bullshit.

However, the fact that he hasn't spoken out and requested that the harassment stop implies that he enjoys what his surrogates and sycophants are doing. What a small, vindicative bully he is.

[BR_Parkway]

46. You should post that on it's own so I can recommend it!

[understandinglife]

59. I've read this twice and it is superb. Do post it as an OP, please.

Thank you!

63. Actually, I did before I responded to your post. See:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4364963&mesg_id=4364963

but that was before I read your post and realized that we had come to the same conclusion about the silence of the Republicans. I then copied my original post and re-posted it as a response to yours. Your post pre-dated mine and had already floated up pretty high on the Greatest Page so hopefully hundreds of eyes have already read it. Thanks for your feedback, I always appreciate your posts.

39. Fifty years's ago church's with little girls in them were bombed.

I guess it has to be the RIGHT kind of Cross for it to ever count.

[Imagevision]

40. Could have been worse - the whacko's could have used guns

after hearing about the 3 white guys who dragged the afro-american to his death - it's the very same kind of thinking, "Don't Mess With Texas"
Fuck texas!

[understandinglife]

41. Precisely my concern and the reason Bush must condemn this act ...

... of desecration and should have done so last night.

If a forceful condemnation is not forthcoming from Bush, we can expect even more hateful acts, especially since someone has offered Cindy an acre of land even closer to W's dude ranch.


Peace.

[hippiegranny]

49. don't mess with texas...

http://websrvr20.audiovideoweb.com/avwebdswebsrvr2143/news_video/crosses512K.mov

Those are crosses with the names of honorable soldiers who you sent to their deaths because of your illegal war on Iraq.

Those are American flags crushed in the mud.

Your silence is anticipated because you are a coward, a traitor, a murderer, a torturer and the most anti-American occupant of the White House in the history of the USA.

61. Silence means consent

... and didn't the Senate just pass the bill making it illegal to desecrate the flag? If so, how come Larry wasn't charged with that also? That would be around 500 counts of desecrating the flag.

[Karenina]

62. GOOD CATCH!!!

and WELCOME!

[earthmama]

66. He should be charged ...

if it was a liberal that did that to the other side we'd would be tarred and feathers and tied behind some ranchers tractor

[insane_cratic_gal]

64. We should be thankful

Chimp didn't have his chain saw out and running. I get the distinct impression he wouldn't know the difference between a 100 + Crosses and a tree.

[earthmama]

65. True colours are coming out ...

more and more this goes on the more Bush and Right wing nuts look bad. I am lovin' it.

[Mr_Spock]

67. Yep, he tacitly approved of a civil war and death and destruction today

He had his chance and he blew it. It's quite interesting having a hateful killer in the White House - I never would have thought we would be in such dire straights so quickly after Clintons fantastic presidency. :(

[understandinglife]

69. Precisely. Now, I'm going to really stick it to him ....

Peace.

[Mr_Spock]

73. He's pushed me over the edge too.

He's one of the best motivators the left ever had - he's a closet liberal in my mind :D
