How does Barbara Bush get away with saying this

[slater71]

Just how in the hell does old lady Bush get away with saying "mess with my sons and your dead." No one in the press said a thing. I saw her say this and it didn`t look like she was kidding. I wonder how many people this family had killed that were in their way?

[XanaDUer]

1. Because she is old and grandmotherly and wears pearls...

I never liked BB. She always seemed like a phony to me.

[VermontDem2004]

2. I think she was kidding

She kind of reminds me of my grandmother. I don't think she literally kills people who messes with her son, imagine if Hillary said this though.

[LittleApple81]

6. There is no kidding under Asscroft. NOTIFY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT!

Imminent threat! Imminent threat!

[DBoon]

13. I know people who tried kidding like this

They ended up in serious trouble.

Saying something like this in most workplaces will get you escorted out the front door for good - no questions asked.

[VermontDem2004]

18. I don't think they should

I don't think people should take Barbara seriously, and most likely the Secret Service will kill someone who physically messes with Bush.

[Ilsa]

20. You certainly can't say anything like it in line

going through any metal detectors. They have signs up everywhere stating that joking around will end up geting your ass hauled off to jail.

Barbara Bush is a Republican Bitch. She CAN get away with murder, I bet.

[amber dog democrat]

24. especially if it is put in an e mail

how stupid it that?

[librechik]

16. it might be funny if so many people didn't wind up dead

who messed with them--and hundreds who fought at their bidding

[VermontDem2004]

17. Ah yes

I remember the Clinton body count. <sarcasm>Remember he killed Vince Vaughn?</sarcasm>

[jumptheshadow]

3. What I wonder about Barbara

I wonder why more mothers don't write Barbara directly or demonstrate near her home and say, "Stop messing with my sons."

Frankly, I think she's fair game.

[PaDUer]

28. Are there any DU'ers

who live near the battleax? Remember how the freakers gathered at Gore's house w/ bullhorns screaming the nite away keeping the Gore family awake? The Gore family was a step ahead of them, they had their stereos on and continued with their family functions.

[kskiska]

31. According to Newsweek, Bar's own daughter

was one of those screamers outside Gore's house. She said it made her feel better. Such well-bred, dignified people.

[srubick]

34. Like mother like--

That statement goes so far in explaining how her children grew up without any morals, ethics, or common decency.
You can bet there will be no freepers admonishing her.

[Mikimouse]

4. That's not a woman, baby! It's a man!

and a butt ugly one at that! Phew, a walking halloween creature with not one iota of humility.

[HootieMcBoob]

5. That's a great idea

Mother's with kids in Iraq should take barbara bush's quote and throw it back in her face. It's perfect.

[radwriter0555]

7. she an 'f'ing psychotic lunatic. Let her run loose to show people how 'f'd

up that insane regime is.

[leetrisck]

8. This woman is pure evil - doesn't she think

anything of the mother's of the others - saying the "Democratic field of candidates was a sorry lot" You never heard Bill Clinton's mother or Hillary Clinton's mother say anything that rotten. Can you imagine how they must have felt (& still for Mrs. Rodham) and it was ole hag bush's husband and son saying a lot of it. But they are "entitled" or "titled", you know.

[1monster]

21. Didn't dear old Bar say something really nasty about

Bill Clinton's mother that she had to apologize for??

[leetrisck]

9. And another thing, what about our son's and

daughter's in bush's so-called war. What if one of us said "mess with my son or daughter and your dead" What would you call what "Slimy Shrub" is doing - he's killing them.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Well she can't "waste her beautiful mind"

thinking about such things, ya know! :puke:

11. Ma Barker: Crime Family Values

http://www.biography.com/cgi-bin/frameit.cgi?p=http%3A//www.biography.com/tv/listings/mbarker.html

"Was Ma Barker really the "veritable beast of prey" that Hoover called her? Or was she, as those who knew her claim, a simple-minded den mother, who was fiercely loyal to her four no-good sons?"

Four sons named George, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin?

[newyawker99]

30. Hi BringEmOn!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[BringEmOn]

33. Thank You!!

Thank you, Newyawker99!

[liberalnurse]

12. She is the most shameless first lady

in American history. No real class obviously.

[rasputin1952]

14. Fact of the matter is, her 3 sons are failures, and she knows it...

So, she goes defensive, by being on the offensive.

Failure abnounds in the bush family.

ghw bush failed in re-election.

gw bush failed at EVERYTHING he has done.

jeb bush wopuld have failed at re-election if the voters weren't screwed.

neil bush is a thief of monumental proportions.

None of her kids are that bright, in fact, they are downright stupid.

This "family" is the worst possible group that could come into power, that has come into power. BB KNOWS that failure is the major part of the bush legacv, snd she is fighting back in the only way she knows how.

I will 'mess' with her sons by helping to expose themm as the frauds they are. I will defend the mothers of the soldiers tossed into a misguided war, (they need a hell of a lot more help than the bush pacdk). She is nothing but a miserable old crone that has done what every parent would do if they realized that failure was haunting their family, she is trying to protect her brood.

Too bad the failures are so glaring, Superman couldn't protect this gaggle of baboons.

:kick:

[kskiska]

32. You left out Marvin.

And then there's the daughter…

[neebob]

39. But her husband is Superman!

She said that on CNN Presents: A Flyboy's Story. She knew he'd come back because he's Superman.

[madrchsod]

15. ah,you think she meant it?

well i do. this klan of facists will do anything to stay in power and crush anyone who stands in their way. they will "disappear" anyone who no longer serves their needs. two words that show their powers..anthrax letters.

[DulceDecorum]

19. And to think that she went to "finishing school"

at Smith College,
Northampton, Massachusetts.

(Nancy Davis Reagan also attended and graduated from Smith.)

[kittykitty]

22. Source?

I'd like to have this to add to my list of evil Barbara statements

[City Lights]

29. She said it on live television. Larry King Live.

[amber dog democrat]

23. She's like the Portrait of Dorian Grey

Just gets uglier with time. All they can do is spread manure. I wonder if in her lucid moments she does not have some twinge of conscience - cognative dissonance at work here. Kind of like being the martiarch of a crime family. Maybe she knows where the bodies are buried. Ever read I Claudius... reminds me of Livia.

[rasputin1952]

25. "Matriarch of a crime family", 'Ma Bush"...

I can picture that! ROFLMAO!!!

"George, get me my Gat"!


:bounce:

[bushclipper]

26. Is is assumed she is senile, perhaps?

[amber dog democrat]

27. That'd be too good for her

I could only hope

[otohara]

35. Mess With Her Criminal Sons

They should all be in jail for one thing or another - Jeb, crimes against voting laws. Neil got away with millions here in CO. and then there's the mass murder squating in the White House.

[fla nocount]

36. There's a guy doing three years in prison for a joke he told.

Re: Awol, "Someone should throw gas on him and light it, God might speak to us through a burning Bush."

It happened in Utah I believe (old DU post) "I told it as joke, people always laughed."

When you're a witch it's a spell, when you're telling jokes in a bar you're a terrorist.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. it scared Ross Perreo enough to make him cancel wedding plans because of

a threat to someone in his family from the bushies...don't remember the exacts now but someone here will

[cosmicdot]

38. Imagine those words coming out of Rose Kennedy

never happen

Barbara Bush is a mean-spirited, hateful, greedy b****
