A protester punches an effigy of US President George W. Bush during an anti-Bush rally near the Hilton Hotel in Sao Paulo as the US leader starts a five-nation Latin American tour. Bush on Friday denied turning his back on Latin America, where demonstrations and violent protests rocked the start of his goodwill tour.(AFP/Vanderlei Almeida)

1. Dude, you almost gave me a heart attack!

[Bucky]

11. Aw, relax. We don't have enough army left over to retaliate right now.

[hlthe2b]

12. Would that be World War V or VI? I've lost count....

:eyes: (and what do we call a crusade against Brazil?)

15. The Brazilian wax job.

Sorry a little loopy today. ;-)

I like that one :)

4. Good one!

Good picture too. Sums up the feelings of a lot of the world towards our leadership...a very concerning thing...

[Madspirit]

You tease! n/t

[SoCalDem]

20. Sorry.. I could not resist the temptation n/t

[Botany]

5. The man is hated world wide.

Bush today, "I don't know why the rest of the world doesn't appreciate everything we
have done." Rough quote


Now here is Bill Clinton in Kosovo in 2002 ???

6. Jesus, Mary and Joseph

Don't do that to me! :)

7. These pictures coming out of Brazil are really disturbing..

has there ever been a sitting U.S. President who sparked such deep hatred around the world? The Bush as Hitler images are really telling.

[Horse with no Name]

10. It was disturbing

There is a lot of hatred there.

[malaise]

27. It is no different no matter where he goes

Please ignore the WH spin that Chavez organized protests in Brazil. That is ludicrous. Simple people understand when international law is violated. They know when a sovereign state in invaded and occupied. People have eyes and ears.

29. The pic that punched me in the gut is the one of the flag with the

Nazi symbols where the stars should be. I'm tired of being tainted by Bush** and his cabal.

[mitchum]

8. You're a heartbreaker

[karlrschneider]

9. I hope you know you just gave 500 DUers myocardial infarctions.

17. oh our weak hearts!

Thump thumpthumpthumpthump thump thump thump thump thump thump. Okay, it's all okay now. :)

[SoCalDem]

25. Good.. I'd hate it y'all got "clotty" or sumthin'

:)

[rebel with a cause]

30. Nah, take the medicine for the clots, don't cha know.

;-)

[Joanne98]

13. Oh. K&R! Just for the rush!

:kick:

[KamaAina]

14. Yay! I needed some new wallpaper for home!

tongues might start wagging here at the office...

16. I thought Jenna had returned to S.A. drunk....

:evilgrin:

18. ***BEHOLD! They even had a rally in his "honor" (many pics)

19. I cannot hear anything about bush's good will tour without

hearing the song from "Evita" about her rainbow tour.

Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts.

Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini, can't think why

See what I mean? Just change a few words and you have bush's tour report.

[AnnInLa]

21. Not that I strictly believe it, but CNN reported

(not a pundit) reported that Hugo Chavez has whipped up the people and his organizations are paying most of them.

[SoCalDem]

22. I doubt that Hugo was around when Nixon went to Latin America

Our "friends-to-the-south" have never liked us all that much..and even less so, now that most of them have access to the global information of today :)

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

24. Quoting "not a pundit" truly enhances CNN's credibility.

I have no doubt that the often-re-elected president of Venezuela is doing all he can to counter Bush's sorry gambit in S.A. He has a huge bundle of money to throw around, much of it (surprise) straight from the good ol' USA. We did the same, in spades, back when we were solvent, and even now Junior is driving our beloved country deeper into debt financing a futile attempt to convince the world that the earth is flat.

My question is why can't this sad little son of the second-worst pResident ever to have drawn a breath smack these stupid, backward brown folks into submission where they belong? Huh, boyking?

Get this punk: in pure numbers, you are by far the most hated homo sapiens ever to have lived, and you will remain in that state until a river of piss washes your gravestone, library, and legacy into oblivion.

[mmonk]

23. Dang, you had me all excited.

Nice pics though.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

26. It makes me,...sad,...to see this. The only good thing is, it appears,...

,...they are distinguishing between the American people and Bush&Co to some degree.

This leadership has shown no compassion in action, whatsoever. The majority of funds Bush alleges went to compassionate causes really went into militia drug activities.

I feel ashamed,...even though I am not responsible for the policies pursued by Bush&CO.
