"Rethugs" went crazy after "*"'s speech yesterday!

[RaulVB]

The TALK OF THE DAY in Washington DC is:

THE GUY IS COMPLETELY CRAZY!

The "rethugs" are saying this!

- HE WANTS TO INVADE ALL THE PLANET TO MAKE IT FREE.

- FIRE, FLAMES, FIRE OF FREEDOM!

- GOD GAVE HIM THE ORDER OF SPREADING "FREEDOM" AROUND THE WORLD!

Crap, all the sleeping pills are sold out in DC's "rethug headquarters..."

And probably some are thinking where to buy a nice "vacation home".

:evilgrin:

[purduejake]

1. Are you serious?

Are a lot of them really saying that? The one good thing about the Repukes is that they know how to eat their own when they get pissed.

[RaulVB]

3. Absolutely!

The "Reaganites" and allies of "*"'s father went NUTS AFTER THEY HEARD HIS DEMENTIAL "AGENDA."

They are begging him to tone down the speech in the State of the Union address!

[Pirate Smile]

24. Peggy Noonan even wrote a critical column on it today. She called the

music "lame" which cracked my up - I didn't watch. I couldn't stand to.

[LoZoccolo]

2. Where did you hear all this?

I'd like to be able to cite people. I know George Will had some criticism of Bush* lately - who else did you hear from?

[shraby]

4. Link?

That's one of the requirements if you want to be taken seriously. :hi:

[RaulVB]

8. Links don't warrant "seriousness"

I heard it myself.

Subjects of journalistic interest always get my ear.

[bemis12]

54. So... you don't have any links

No surprise. I think there's not a lot of truth to what you're saying. The Repubs seem to love the guy. But come up with links to the contrary and I'll reevaluate it.

[greenmutha]

28. Here's one for you, from "Hardball" with Chris Matthews:

"The president of the United States is the chief law enforcement official of this country. The president yesterday committed to his personal responsibility that he enforce freedom around the world.

A couple of questions I asked my guests last night:

The world listened to that speech. They got it in many languages. Putin, Chirac, Tony Blair, Mandela, and all the Arab leaders. I wonder, what do they make of it?

Was the speech reflective of maybe too bold a mission of democratizing the world? Aren't we saying "our way or the highway?" Is that America saying, if you don't have a form of government we like, we're going to change it?

I think if you're not caught up in the charm of the president, if you're not caught up in the charm of inauguration day… and if you just read this speech, you might be petrified by it. It is a frightening claim of American moral authority over the world. It is a powerful statement of mission, an almost open-ended commitment to bring down tyranny in the world, to pay the price.

It's one thing to speak as a world visionary, it's another to realize the consequences of that..."

(Edited for spelling.)

[RaulVB]

30. Typical Matthews's garbage!

What "American moral authority"?

The guy in the White House is in office because he stole it and after what the regime has done since 2.001, c'mon...

Hey, Matthews, go enjoy you new 4.5 million home and leave room for real journalists! (If they can find one)

[greenmutha]

31. RaulVB... read it again, slowly.

Matthews is saying he thinks ** stepped over the boundaries, that the *speech* was frightening in the way ** was declaring moral authority.

[RaulVB]

32. Errr...

Is this "news" for Matthews or you?

Matthews JUST NOW "FOUND THE LIGHT"?

Think slowly, very slowly...

Matthews is playing the "neutral, I'm not guilty-let's be critical BS", which contradicts HIS OWN BEHAVIOR FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS.

The "weight" of Matthews's opinions is...popcorn comes to mind.

I mean the guy has like 1.000 viewers, at the most!

[greenmutha]

35. I agree, he is contradicting his previous behavior.

Not news to me, but isn't that what this thread is all about? How the idiots are suddenly talking about what we've been saying all along?

(On edit: you do realize I was replying to shraby's post, right?)

[RaulVB]

37. Oh yeah, thanks!

Ok, just making sure we don't fall into these idiots "parallel universe"!

[greenmutha]

40. No prob!

I took the red pill... :toast:

[noclonyofthechimp]

39. I just watched Chris Mathews on Hardball. I can tell he is disgusted.

In his typical interviewing ways, he not only last night, but just now was trying to understand what Bush's agenda is. He actually called his intentions "tyranny"

[super simian]

53. caught up in the charm!

How hilarious that anyone could find that repulsive slimeball charming! I doubt even Laura sees much "charm" besides his career and his bank account.
:puke:

[RaulVB]

5. Many sources,

Peggy Noonan, Joe Scarborough, Buchanan, Scowcroft, etc, etc.

[shraby]

9. Thanks, I'll read Joe's blog

and if there's a transcript of his show I'll read that too. Can't stand that mealy-mouthed excuse for a human, so I don't watch his show. Buttt....if he has some good news like you said, I gotta check it out.

[Al-CIAda]

10. I dunno, Buchanan writes critical articles, but most often

when he is on air, he is supportive of his Fraudulentcy. Last night I caught him praising the days' events and monkeyboy's speech.

[RaulVB]

13. Buchanan is a fanatic

Is just an example of that even if they think they can handle "*", some are having SERIOUS DOUBTS.

[Straight Shooter]

19. Here's the link to Noonan interview, and a snip of the transcript

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/01/20.html#a1376

Noonan: I'll be frank, I think some of it went over the top a little bit....

also

Noonan: I found it a little grating

Hannity: A little what?

Noonan: A little grating in some respects.

From her WSJ column, Way Too Much God (try not to barf if you read her entire column):
http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/

"The inaugural address itself was startling. It left me with a bad feeling, and reluctant dislike. Rhetorically, it veered from high-class boilerplate to strong and simple sentences, but it was not pedestrian. George W. Bush's second inaugural will no doubt prove historic because it carried a punch, asserting an agenda so sweeping that an observer quipped that by the end he would not have been surprised if the president had announced we were going to colonize Mars.
A short and self-conscious preamble led quickly to the meat of the speech: the president's evolving thoughts on freedom in the world. Those thoughts seemed marked by deep moral seriousness and no moral modesty.

No one will remember what the president said about domestic policy, which was the subject of the last third of the text. This may prove to have been a miscalculation."

Wow, the bush administration never makes mistakes; it makes miscalculations!

[Taxloss]

6. Oh, they've woken up?

Pity they couldn't have done so ON NOVEMBER THE 2ND. I hope Bush takes every one of their treasured precepts and stomps it to death in public. He's already sold out the anti-gay marriage crowd. Abortion will be next. We should all be buying popcorn while they spit koolade.

[BattyDem]

18. Pull up a chair ...

this could get very interesting!

[11cents]

7. BFD. These people have always disapproved of him

The people around Poppy, etc., have never liked Junior's policies. They're old and out of power and irrelevant.

[RaulVB]

12. Wrong.

They have a tight control over what is said within party lines.

Totally out of line to be critical of their "leader" in "his", day.

Irrelevant?

Hmmm...wrong!

[mod mom]

16. Where do they think they are going to get the $ and troops?

What happened to fiscal conservatism? the rethugs are war mongering robber barons. I personally am posting signs in low income African American neighborhoods that say:

POOR MANS BLOOD

RICH MAN'S WAR

LET THEM SEND THEIR KIDS
TO DIE FOR OIL.

FAMILIES GRIEVE WHILE
BUSH DANCES @ HIS
$40 M BALL.

[Bill Bored]

11. God has nothing to do with it. This is pure PNAC stuff.

<http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm>

I'm sure some Repukes will be for it and some will be against it. But, almost NONE of them can be trusted, can they?

Nevertheless, keep the pressure on them to defect.

[RaulVB]

14. Sure, almost none...

But their party will not survive "*".

Some understand it very well!

[MadisonProgressive]

52. Hell, the world may not survive *****

[slor]

15. They showed their insanity...

when they voted for him.

[keepthemhonest]

17. His speech says it all

the people who predicted Bushitler were right. Thanks for sharing sounds like they may turn their backs on him now,let's hope he is so full of himself that he continues to show his true colors.

[DELUSIONAL]

20. Overseas -- this is the message that many non Americans got

I've overseas -- not in America -- right now.

I spent the morning talking to people to get reactions -- and the people I talked to understood bushitas message to be warning that he would invade any country that was not "democratic" or "free". They also resented his "preaching".

Many countries consider themselves as "Christian" as bushie is -- or more so. "He's not a Christian -- he is HITLER."

All the locals must have been meeting in the rum rooms last night -- and talking to each other this morning because every single one called bushita HITLER. And yes they raised their voice and shouted "HITLER".

I knew something was up when the locals were quiet and their jaw was clinched -- so I said -- "I didn't vote for that idiot that was sworn in yesterday -- and by the way he didn't win this election either."

The International press is doing the world a disservice by NOT getting out the facts about the election fraud of the last election. But when I explained how this time it was Blackwell of Ohio -- who helped throw the election to bush.

Then I just shut up and let the person I am talking to vent about how much they hate bushita for what he is doing to the world -- all the people he is murdering -- and how he is going to invade Cuba next -- plus Iran & Syria and any other country he feels like.

People here are very pissed -- and they are representative of others in other countries that I spoke to just after the Nov. 2 election.

As Americans abroad we are now wearing targets on our backs -- several people pointed out to me that the world has become a dangerous place for Americans. They have the opinion that all Americans support the rat bastard -- thanks to US reporting.

How many International reporters remain in America -- remember the US government was forcing International reporters to leave the US and apply for a visa in their home countries? Did the US government only give visas to International reporters who will repeat the bushita propaganda -- could this be why the election fraud is NOT being reported in the International press????

[sepia_steel]

21. WE have GOT to get the word out to peoples of other nations

that more than half of us don't support him!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. The BBC and the Guardian

are just a shadow of their former selves.

In the last year, they have taken control of most of the International MSM.

[fooj]

23. i've been thinking...everyone has been claiming the dems have lost

their edge...sure looks to me like the republicans may be the party that is splitting and fragmenting! Think about it! Wouldn't you absolutely HATE being a moderate in that party right now? Yikes!

[RaulVB]

25. Right on the money!

And that's the people we need to "motivate" to split with the regime.

[fooj]

26. Great minds think alike!

Peace!

[emlev]

29. I agree with you (more thoughts below)

that this is one of the major strategies we have to employ. We need to identify them, understand who they see as their "base," what issues/positions are key to their holding onto their base, what issues they might be able to take risks on. We also need to get to be experts about the kinds of things that will get done to them when they do take risks, and strategize about how to minimize the negative consequences and maximize the positive consequences of risk-taking.

[ottozen]

27. BUSH MEANS WAR

My first thoughts and expressions after he was voted into office by the SCOTUS.

More Bush, more war.

When people ask me why I think Bush is the Anti-Christ.

I reply, "He fits the profile".

[shelley806]

47. Someone last night on DU posted photos of protests during the

inaugURINATION, and many were from foreign countries. I viewed all of them. One sign read WAR begins with "W". I was truly astonished at the ANGRY energy of international people. They seem to be more concerned than we are. And most of these demonstrations took place prior to their knowledge of the content of hitlerB*'s speech. The international photos begin at about # 40 or so. We are not alone in the world in our hatred of this administration.

[mordarlar]

50. More than you know. See below.

>>>The Blood Guilty Churches

Why Bush’s Agenda Is Immoral and an Abomination to God<<<

>>>There are seven attributes of a man that God hates. God lays out the psychological profile of those traits he abhors. The following are from Proverbs 6:16-19 in the Amplified Version:

1. “A proud look .

2. “A lying tongue,

3. “Hands that shed innocent blood,

4. “A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans,

5. “Feet that are swift in running to evil,

6. “A false witness who breathes out lies ,

7. “And he who sows discord among his brethren.”<<<

The link is to a magnificent theological analysis of why Bush stands against Christianity. Good points in case you run into a blind Bush is God's chosen leader republican.

[Hugin]

33. Pardon me, but, weren't they crazy before the speech?

Just asking. ;)

[RaulVB]

I guess for "them" he came out of the closet just yesterday! (n/t)

[RaulVB]

34. I guess for "them" he came out of the closet just yesterday! (n/t)

[googly]

36. Here is why shrub invoked "freedom" around the world...

Don't you all see why that was the main theme in his speech?
It was crystal clear to me, the moment I heard it. It is an
attempt to cover up the blunder that is Iraq invasion! You
see he sold the country on the invasion with WMD's, but none
were found. So, instead of admitting the mistake, shrub is
pushing the new excuse for mis-adventures abroad, "to change
evil dictatorships into democracies". That is the only logical
reason left now why we are still in Iraq. And Karl Rove wants
to put a fig leaf of "democratic freedom" around his blunder.

[RaulVB]

38. But, as we know...

That "song" doesn't play if you remember his deals with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, etc, etc.

Good "examples of democratic regimes", sure...

This guys is completely nuts, simple.

[googly]

45. Pakistan is especially a joke! It is ruled by a military dictator,

is the only islamic country with nukes, and has the largest
number of young muslims enrolled in "madrassaa" or religious
schools where they brain wash the young pupils to hate every
thing and everybody who does not follow islam. The dictator
Musharraf is unpopular with majority of people but is propped
up by his military and American aid. One bullet to his head
will result in a takeover by the fanatic religious zealots
who will have a finger on the nuclear trigger.

And we are cultivating this regime as a ally? Yap, Bush is
nuts, simple. Iraq was no where near nuclear weapons.
Pakistan ALREADY has nuclear weapons which are completely
out of American control. Yap, we invaded the wrong country,
the real WMD's are still there, waiting to be used.

[shelley806]

48. It was no blunder on their part. PNAC policy. And how hollow is

"freedom" when one tyrant is out of commision and 102,000 are dead, and the country is worse off? A Huge Fig Leaf around an Emperor with No Clothes, and Many Elephants in the Room.

[proudtobeadem]

41. I predict he'll be impeached before 2 years are over

AND I WILL ROTFLMAO WHEN IT HAPPENS!!

[sepia_steel]

42. I hope you're right.

Has everyone signed the petition?
votetoimpeach.com

[googly]

46. Only if we recapture congress in 2006

No way the partisan pukes are gonna impeach their master.

[stillcool]

43. I just started reading yet another...

book, this one being 'Forbiidden Truth'. There are so many good reads out there to put things in some perspective, but I must say....There have go to be thinking Republicans that will have to flip...eventually. The constant phrase I keep hearing repeated is 'What will it take?' Imposing Freedom appears to mean, setting up govts around the globe in strategic pipeline access areas to insure the American way of life for global corporations.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Did anyone see Jon Stewart last night? He was so funny --had

a contest between the word "freedom" and "liberty" with a ticker, counting the times ** said the words in his speech. Freedom won something like 27 times to 15, best I remember. That's amazing to me -- I mean how long was the speech (anybody have the stomach to listen?) You know how when you right something and you notice you've used the same word too many times, and you pull out the thesaurus?

I did hear a clip about being against racism and I thought about Cleveland and disenfranchisement.

Evil, evil, evil !

[mordarlar]

51. 17 minutes

[torque]

49. We own them, we will impeach them

Moderate Repubs know that too. We can divide and conquer them quite easily and now some are willing to defect the madmen's party. We all own them and they know it. We are taking them down by popular demand and they know it. We own them.

Be the Bush Opposition 24/7
