pResident calling Cindy a &^%*!
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7267.shtml


I'm not sure how reliable this site is,but Randi was talking about his today.I find this more disturbing than usual,but maybe * is really losing it more and more.

“I’m not meeting again with that goddamned bitch,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to hell as far as I’m concerned!”
snip

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.
snip

Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “bullshit protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW assholes that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’ keep their members under control.”

2. Randi needs to be careful about her sources.
Don't wanna sink as low as the RW radio nuts when it comes to passing on suspect stories.

3. That site has "behind the scenes" stuff every once in a while...
I'm not sure if I believe it either. I've stopped visiting.

4. There have been a couple of threads
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 07:45 PM by ewagner
about Capitolhillblue's column in the past couple of days....

the problem is that Thompson, the author of the piece, has a single, anonymous source for that quote. He could be putting out disinformation or could be taken for the proverbial "ride" by his source. Nobody seems to know how credible he is.

I'm not putting much stock in it yet. I was actually surprised that Randi quoted him today.

8. Wouldn't it be great if it proves to be true?
I'm almost certain * has a vile temper. Martinets generally do.

10. Rumors like this don't help anyone's cause
It would be foolhardy in the extreme to believe and perpetrate them.

13. Not as extreme as believing Saddam has nukes, but,
uhhhhh....OK.

But it does "...kind of catapult the propaganda." True or not.

14. If you remember Rathergate
a lot of gullible people got burned by it, setting back (destroying, really) the task of proving Bush's AWOL service. And right here on DU, a lot of people too quick to leap at conspiracy theories bought into Bev Harris' claims of "knowing too much". They lost their hard-earned dough subsidizing that con-artist, and simultaneously causing some damage to the voting reform movement. It's for those reasons I prefer that criticisms of Bush and the GOP be grounded in solid reporting.

With that out of the way...

21. Thanks, Steve. I wish the mods would instantly lock
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 08:37 PM by Redstone
any threads that bring up this bullshit. It's counterproductive, and makes us look like idiots for believing it without researching the source.

23. Locking.
Take this story with a grain of salt. Capital Hill Blue often deals in unfounded rumor, gossip and such.

This one has had it's run here.

Thanks for your consideration.
