"Bush is human garbage" - Diego Maradona

[emad]

Last night's BBC TV News coverage showed maradona in a Bush nazi T shirt - the 's' of Bush replaced by a swastika - saying "Bush is human garbage".

I'm disappopinted to note that the BBC website is not carrying any pics of this today, but here is a link for it's coverage of the Argentine protests:

Argentines eye the US with suspicion

1. I prefer the term "waste of human DNA". n/t

[grannylib]

35. Dove into an empty gene pool....

[afdip]

2. the 3P's . . . piss poor protoplasm

[jbnow]

3. That's outrageous

Can they prove he is human?

[Ron Green]

4. Some futbol aficionados on this board have said that Maradona is not

much of a stand-up guy himself. What's the real story on him?

[Chimichurri]

10. he had a drug problem for many years

He's still a futbol God for how he played to many around the world though.

[ElectroPrincess]

43. Then he should know how Bush ticks ...

Given that Bush had a serious DRUG PROBLEM (alcohol counts too!) in his youth. One's youth is defined as before 40 y.o. for the rich and powerful families. The regular Joe/Jane step up to the plate of responsibility at the age of 18 y.o.

37. Famous for the "Hand of God"

A hand-shot that was not called and decided the world cup. Later named by DM himself. I'm not a soccer fan myself but I lived with one, and I guess that's all it took to learn this tale.

[Dem Agog]

5. Other proper descriptions of *...

1. A walking waste of carbon.
2. A useless sack of shit filled skin.

[peekaloo]

6. A waste of carbon and water.

Too science-y?

[sleipnir]

7. The "Hand of God" has spoken..!

And he's on our side!

[emad]

8. When I saw his 'Garbage' protest last night I ALMOST forgave

him for that dodgy biz in the World Cup.....

Wish I could google up a pic of that t shirt he was wearing yesterday...

[TomClash]

12. "Hand of God"

A bit fundamentalist, eh?

[MRDU]

45. THANKYOU! Been looking everywhere for that swastika Bush sign...

When they showed the Maradona interview on BBC News the other night the camera was focused right on it for maybe 10-15 seconds.

THEN they wiped the headline 'Bush is human garbage' off their website news headlines....
Shheeeeeshhhhhhhhhh...

[SpiralHawk]

9. Ooooooo - that hurts. Bush has Leo rising, and does not...

take insults lightly. he will no doubt konvene a klavern kluck-along to discuss this SMACK ACROSS THE FACE.

[Benhurst]

11. How dare he say that?

This is an affront to garbage all over the world.

[Doctor_J]

14. Another now-famous Venezuelan,

Ozzie Guillen, has not yet weighed in on the Bush-v-Chavez debate. Most MLBers are wingers. Let's hope Ozzie is a Chavez man.

16. He's not a decent human being, in my estimation.

He's a spoiled child of privilege who's been installed in the White House and protected from examination of the damage he's done. At age 58 one should be able to reflect on one's mistakes and take a wide view of life and of the world. Bush hasn't done this, and deserves NO respect whatsoever.

[wmills551]

17. I don't know about you

but last I checked there are a lot spoiled children of privilege. And lots of people are in over their heads in jobs and life. Is he that different from you. He is not that different from me. Forgive yourself and perhaps you can forgive President Bush. He is not Garbage. He is our President. It gets tiresome that he is repository of all the worlds hate.

[petgoat]

20. I don't like to call any human being garbage

but when you're talking about a head of state, and a pretender to the
throne at that, some rhetorical excess is justified sometimes.

Bush as Mayor of Crawford I would not call garbage. Bush as President I
will call garbage. Only when he has resumed life as an ordinary human
being does he deserve the respect due to one.

[wmills551]

23. I like your post.

[Ron Green]

22. One difference between George Bush and me

is that I fully acknowledge my faults, of which I have many. I'm the same age as this guy, and I've learned that denying my mistakes is to deny my own humanity. I hold him to a MUCH higher standard than myself, because he occupies the White House. For starters, I would ask him to tell us who put the infamous 16 words in his State of the Union address in 2003. Then how about where he was and what he was doing while others were serving in Vietnam. Then maybe what it means to swear revenge against one who has wronged you (is that a Christian thing to do?) and then attack someone completely different.

I could go on and on. One more thing is that I want the President of the United States to be someone of stature, of wisdom, of great learning and of character. This guy is a lightweight. If he had any honesty about him at all, he would say, "Look, everybody, I'm sorry. I'm in 'way over my head and I don't know how to do this job very well. Please accept my resignation and forgive me for the damage."

Now THAT would be deserving of respect.

[grannylib]

18. He is an unelected thief. Respect is earned, not awarded like his votes.

Respect is earned based on one's actions, not a title or a bunch of little letters after someone's name.
I can understand why someone would use a swastika to associate with him; if you check out the facts about fascism, you will find that the current misadministration fits into that definition very neatly.
NOT something to ignore, when we have what should be a respected, free and fair democracy; this sorry-assed loser is trying his best to destroy everything good and great this country ever stood for.

19. Association of a Swastika with Bush is total over the top hyperbole.

It demeans all people who actually suffer at the hands of evil dictators and have their basic freedoms taken. Get a grip Granny. Or tell me the basic liberty you have lost under Bush.

[NYC Liberal]

24. One does not have to do EVERYTHING Nazis did in order to be LIKE

them or to have policies that resemble some Nazi policies.

[wmills551]

25. So what is the freedom you had in the Clinton years

that you have lost. If you are not losing personal freedoms then a comparison to Hitler's Nazis is really just hype. It serves no purpose but to desensitize people to those words.

[NYC Liberal]

27. What about the right to a speedy trial, the right to counsel, and

the protection against being held without charge if you are deemed a "terrorist" by Bush himself?

All of these things have been happening in the last four years in violation of Amendments 6 and 14.

30. Not ALL citizens in Germany lost all their rights either.

What is your point?

Oh, and what if I were to join a protest and I was arrested and Bush or one of his subordinates decided to name me a "terrorist." I WOULD lose those rights.

[Sparkly]

42. Precisely. Thank you. nt

[grannylib]

26. There are many basic liberties that are under threat under this

unelected misadministration.
The right to have our votes counted in a free and fair election, without partisan ownership of voting machines, for one. What kind of democracy can we have without free and fair elections?
Free speech is under attack: the Imbecile administration is herding people into "free speech zones" so they can be ignored and unseen by our little naked emperor. The whole USA is a free speech zone; what right does he or anyone else have to limit the area in which people can peaceably assemble or speak freely?
Freedom of the press is under attack. The corporate whore media is shilling for the neocon goons and the Reich Wing. The "liberal media" is a total lie promoted by reThuglicans in an effort to yank the media hard right.

Those are just a few. Have you read the Constitution lately?
I am not at all trying to minimize the egregious horrors wrought by earlier fascists; I am deadly serious about the threats I feel this nation faces under the current crop of corrupt killers in the WH.

33. Where have you been? Neither the 2000 nor the 2004 "elections" were

fair; there was reThuglican fraud all over both of them.
And if it's wrong to call others Nazis, why is it OK for you to do it?
Free speech zones should be anathema to all Americans.
Again, check out the Constitution; it's that quaint archaic document that the "president" swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend.
And then compare that to the sadly misnamed Patriot Act.
You see, it's not a PERSONAL right lost that makes me angry; it's the fact that OTHERS' rights have been curtailed/violated/taken away: that is the heart of progressive liberalism. It doesn't have to happen to me PERSONALLY for it to be relevant to me as a citizen; it's my duty as an American to fight for the rights of others as well as my own.

[Doctor_J]

34. Free speech zones are new since 5-4 took office

So are cages for protestors. So is the USA Patriot Act. you asked a question, many people have answered it. Why don't you go back to Freeperville?

[Kickin_Donkey]

44. Hmm ... calling anti-WTO protesters "Nazis" ...

Agreeing with "free speech" zones ...

Saying that Bush must be respected simply because he occupies the office of the president ...

Claiming the elections were conducted fairly and the Dems just lost ...

Claiming that Americans have not lost any civil liberties under the * administration ...

Believing that * is a decent human being ...

Something doesn't smell right here. I think you may belong on another Web site whose initials start with F.

[petgoat]

39. the basic liberty you have lost

The right of habeas corpus goes back to 1215.

[mitchtv]

21. Decent Human Being? Oh please

anyone who launches a personal war to get elected is not decent, his treatment of gays belies a bigot. He is a mean petty asshole, deserves no respect at all.

[NYC Liberal]

29. Oh the old canard about how we HAVE to "respect" the president.

Nope, respect is EARNED, not inherent. Bush has done NOTHING to earn my respect. He is a liar and a coward, and his baseless and illegal are responsible for the deaths of thousands.

[_testify_]

32. I call BULLSHIT on that.

Can one be a 'decent human being' and be responsible for the deaths over 2000 Americans and no doubt tens of thousands Iraqi civilians?

And by the way, nobody 'deserves' respect until they earn it, and this guy hasn't earned shit as far as I'm concerned.

[Little Star]

40. What are you talkin bout?

He is the biggest piece of garbage ever.

[Skittles]

41. LOL

I DON'T RESPECT LYING, THIEVING, WARMONGERING PIECES OF SHIT

[Larry in KC]

36. My favorite's "dickless piece of shit"

...and I pronounce the acronym (DPOS) as "depose!!"

[Jed Dilligan]

38. DPOS

A piece of shit with a dick would be grosser IMO
