The Crawford Coward Rides....
How afraid is pResident Weakenstupid?

"The president had to pass the crosses and protestors when he attended a GOP fundraiser Friday afternoon (Aug. 12) at a nearby ranch. We protestors were backed farther away from the road, roped off with police tape for about four hours with Secret Service, state and county law enforcement officers. A helicopter flew overhead lower than others that we were accustomed to. The helicopter had an agent riding outside with a weapon trained on us, but once the motorcade passed he moved on as well. The motorcade went by us twice very fast, and a few of the vehicles had rifles pointed out open windows. I was thankful no one made any sudden moves."

2. All the guns in the world can't answer Sheehan's question
and neither can the GOP....

4. She is the perfect weapon with which to combat this administration,
their lies, their greed, their corruption. She deserves every ounce of support we have.

8. Agreed...and the attempts to smear her
only make it clear that her question is valid and that the GOP has no answer.

So, too, does the very public cowardice of young Republicans.

3. I believe the Secret Service puts on a big show for all.....
presidents. That way it makes the president look more important than he really is. Lots of pomp, ceremony and intrigue.

9. They don't always point guns so blatantly, though...
especially at an unarmed middle aged lady....

11. There has never been a more closely guarded president.
Even when he goes to hand picked audiences, protesters can'nt get within 5 blocks of him and then the streets are blocked when buses and trucks, where no one ever gets a glance at him.

19. When Bill Clinton went to Kosovo
They threw him a parade and cheered wildly...

Think Chimpy will get the same response in Afghanistan or Iraq?

10. Yup....
Chimpy is more and more reminding me of Martin Sheen's character in Dead Zone...the tough talking blowhard who frantically hid in panic at the crisis...

12. Rumors are that * gets more death threats in a month then Clinton got
in 8 years. That * is a big scardy cat. Coward when he was in the reserves and hasn't changed at all.

Then again, the guns may have been to protest the public from a livid * that wants all people against him dead.

14. Remember, on 9/11 Chimpy ran and hid all day....
and about the only thing he had to say to the nation that morning was that he had checked with the vice president....

I still think that the most significant thing about "My Pet Goat" was not that he sat there mindlessly for so long, but that his staff didn't even pretend he had anything to say worth hearing...Andrew Card whispered in his ear and then walked away without pausing.

20. He told president cheney first telling * was a courtesy call
Edited on Fri Aug-19-05 12:21 PM by Rambis
the guy is a POS but I don't want any harm to come to him because of the way we make hero's out of corpses these days. I want to see him tried in a world court.

15. When I first saw this I sent it to everyone I know and asked
"Is this the kind of America you want". I can't believe people would actually condone this type of behavior in our courageous leader.

18. Remember, this is the same imbecile
who can only discuss his Social Security plan behind locked doors to hand-picked chumps who have signed a loyalty oath...

One of the liberal blogs did a wonderful juxtaposition last fall of Norman Rockwell's famous Freedom of Speech poster with a news photo of some ordinary citizen being roughed up by goons at a Cheney campaign event because he had dared to ask a real question...

22. Par for the course with neocons
Reagan's goons also roughed up some guy at a campaign event because he dared to ask a legitimate question.

16. Compare this to the protection JFK had
It becomes so obvious the president's own people were a part JFK's murder.

21. "Weakenstupid"...I love that. Well now, you know that Bush
must be protected from seeing any part of reality. It messes up his fantasy make-believe world; you know, the one he makes up himself and then lives in.

25. No matter how much the right wing blowhards prop him up
he manages to reveal what an incompetent, cowardly and corrupt drunk he is.
