Should we use Bush's own words against him?

[dsc]

In the movie Iron Jawed Angels, sufferagettes stand outside the White House gate with banners of Wilson's own words about democracy to shame him into supporting the 20th Amendment. Eventually they are arrested and a hungerstrike makes Wilson back the Amendment.

Now I think LGBT can do the same sort of thing to Bush. Here is a particularly appopriate passage from today's Inagural.

In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by service, and mercy and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.

Or maybe this one

The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.

While Bush is no Wilson, his writers are actually pretty decent. Maybe we should make him choke on his pretty words.

1. Always. Make his words knives.

2. Always the best strategy.

Show how hypocritical they are with their own words.

3. Should we use Bush's own words against him?

I agree wholeheartedly. It's amazing how quickly people forget the things this president has told the American people. Some of the things Bush has said should be as memorable as a few gems from the past, like Nixon, "I'm not a crook" or Clinton, "I never had sex with that woman".

4. Yes but would he care

He's a very arrogant person who doesn't go back on what he does.

6. Unfortunately, the second quote, at least the important part,

are Lincoln's words....but they are so true

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.

it just makes me sad the bush uses this phrase when he clearly can't even understand it.

7. It would never work.

Bush would never admit he was wrong or be shamed into anything.
