Idiot Logic: Don't criticize Chimp, or we might 'look bad' to the world

[Sparkly]

A caller on C-Span (I know, I know) made a familiar claim that we shouldn't criticize Chimp's inaugural speech because it makes us look bad in the eyes of the rest of the world.

In other words, if we just shut up, the rest of the world won't notice what an incompetent, arrogant, greedy, idiotic, spoiled, narcissistic, reckless, phony, selfish fuckwad he is.

Isn't it nice to know people care what the rest of the world thinks?

[AllegroRondo]

1. If we DONT criticize him, we look worse.

[Guaranteed]

24. Exactly- we have to let the world know that at least SOME of us

are decent people.

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. Too late .

The illegal invasion of Iraq took take of that.

[President Kerry]

13. among oh so many other things...

Kyoto global warming treaty, ABM treaty, ICC, Geneva convention,

shall i go on? Aside from our sane half of the population, there is no reason for the world to accept us. They do 'cause they have to. Sorry world! :mad:

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. I meant to say

Took care of that. :silly: And I agree with you on all the above.

[Cerridwen]

3. I thought we didn't do "global tests"

Now "they're" worried about what the world thinks of us?

Blech!

[quinnox]

4. The caller must have been living in a cave the last four years

Bush is hated and ridiculed world-wide already

[blackangrydem]

6. Yet they demand cash.

Why would you accept $$ from someone you hate?

Let's be honest, America is always respected in the world when it comes to receiving aid.

[President Kerry]

8. in times of need you don't choose.

We happen to have more than just about every other country in the world, and at least as far as this gov't, we're not particularly generous. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[blackangrydem]

15. You're right, about that.

But I think you should also acknowledge or at least consider that what makes us a rich nation able to give is the same reason many don't like us. After all, our evil corporations are making contributions that dwarf what most govts will be able to give.

Pfizer alone is sending 35 million.

[Sparkly]

16. What does Pfizer have to do with criticizing Chimp's inaugural speech?

I think most people, at least in Europe, recognize that Chimp and his followers are dangerous idiots, but they also recognize that they are not the entirety of the U.S.

9. I would accept cash from someone that I hated if...

the people in my country were starving and had no jobs or hopes of any without some cash inflow.

I just found something out about these World Bank loans that are made to Third World Countries. The contracts to do the "work" for which they receive the loans are usually awarded to companies like Haliburton. Therefore, Hallibuton gets up to 95% of that loan, TAX-FREE before he country gets one red dime.

[Contrary1]

18. Now, now...

don't be blaming Cheney...er, Halliburton for lining up
some backup work in Asia. They may never get around
to rebuilding Iraq, since the war won't be over for
many years to come, if ever.

How do you expect these poor multi millionaires to eke
out an existence in the meantime, without some sort of
income they can depend on?

[itzamirakul]

21. Right! You are right!

Shame on me for even mentioning it. Poor Haliburton has to get its billions from SOMEWHERE. Let me go spank my typing hand for even writing such an idea. <sarcasm off>

[Maple]

11. You can't buy respect

But people would take money from the devil if they or their families were in need.

[XanaDUer]

5. Ah, the conservative C-SPAN caller

:eyes:

[dkofos]

7. Is it possible,

to get people like this to move to low lying areas near the coast.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Dr.Phool]

10. No thanks

I have enough of them here already.

[DBoon]

12. Just like they never criticized Clinton for the same reason

yeah right

[Oversea Visitor]

14. Duh American dont have to

He is doing just fine on this Tsunami issue

While UN call on the world to give more
He talk about 20 million line of credit
While EU call to relook at the debts of Indonesia
He talk about 20 million line of credit
While EU call for a conference
He talk about lending support to this call
While the world top up in Aid
He talk about leading a coalition of 4 countries
While the world rushes in man supply and equipment
He move in 3 carrier group
While the world was hard at work in the affected countries
He talk about sending his brother and friends to tour the region
While people around the world donate generously ( Americans included )
He talk about promise of more aid
While UN talk to Powell on how US can help
He talk about adding UN to his coalition of countries

All this falsh around the world on CNN with million following the news

Wasnt Karl Rove with him at the ranch.
He need Public Relation Adviser bigtime

[two gun sid]

19. Too late

After the invasion of Iraq, WMD lies, Abu Gharib, aid for the tsunami victims I don't think the world will think of us in much worse terms then they already do. Anytime they see that smirking son of a bitch on TV they have to think what evil fuckers we are for reelecting him.

[chicagojoe]

20. The Innauguration should be a very historical moment, indeed.

[Cha]

22. bush is a fucking idiot and the

USA should be embarrassed as a country to have a chimp as a president(sic).

[Debs]

23. What do you expect

Right wing logic is an oxymoron

[Forkboy]

25. I see that attitude here all the time too

:puke:

[Darth_Kitten]

26. LOL

Thing is, America said nothing bad about Bush and the rest of the world just came to the conclusion on their own that Bush is an incompetent, self-serving, arrogant, idiotic, abusive, callous and pathetic dick.

:hi:

[Skittles]

27. I want the world to know most Americans see through him

that's right - MOST AMERICANS SEE THROUGH THAT PHONY INCOMPETENT PIECE OF SHIT.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

28. Too late - that boat sailed four years ago

The world knows what a fuckwad King George the Wannabe is already. All that is left now if for real Americans to convince the world that Dim Son does not represent the rest of us. BushyBot is an idiot, he has millions of idiots just like him but there are still plenty of real Americans here fighting tooth and nail to take back our country. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we had to turn to France and Spain again (just like the founding fathers) to get help in saving us once again for an evil monarch?

[Lisa]

29. Americans criticizing their government are protecting the US ...

Trust me -- people in other countries watch Americans protesting Bush, and know that the entire US population isn't too brainwashed or scared to speak out. It makes it a lot easier for moderates to defuse tensions by pointing out that Americans are indeed trying to fix things in their own country, and that it's wrong to take things out on people who have been misled and betrayed.

My friends overseas tell me there are places in the world where, if it weren't for that news footage, people would think that all Americans approve of Dubya. (I think that the US was a little bit too successful crafting its image as a place where the people control the government ... because some outsiders just assume that everything that the US does, even the frightening or ruinous stuff, is by the will of the American people.)

So, basically, criticizing Bush will help reverse the damage to America's reputation.

[Contrary1]

30. You are right...

I have friends in Canada, England, New Zealand,
and Australia. They say the same thing.

[Brundle_Fly]

31. YOU LOOK "BAD"

already.

edit to say.
Never Worse..

present company not included.

[tsuki]

32. When a foreign magazine/paper runs a headline that shouts,

"How can 59 million people be so dumb?" Don't you think that we might look bad to the rest of the world? Just my opinion.

[TryingToWarnYou]

33. ????????

Why is it ok for the Right to say "I dont give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks" when it comes to our militaristic ways, but when it comes to criticisim, suddenly everyone is supposed to be quiet little mousies?
