Presidential candidate fires back at Bush "appeasement" comments

[Wetzelbill]

On his futon campaigning today, the Democratic frontrunner Wetzelbill was asked about Bush's comments about appeasement that he made in Israel today.

Wetzelbill replied: "Yeah it takes a lot of balls for a guy to say that when his grandaddy plotted to overthrow the U.S. government in the '30s and then ended up being a Nazi Sympathizer who was still doing business with the Nazis even as they were rolling tanks down the streets of Paris. Also, if he's so worried about appeasing terrorists, maybe he can tell Poppy Bush and family consigliere, Jim Baker to both get their noses out of the asses of the House of Saud. Good night and good luck."

1. Huh? n/t

[Wetzelbill]

2. Huh about what?

[MrModerate]

6. I think I donated money to the Wetzelbill campaign . . .

But I can't remember when or why.

9. And that's the beauty of their strategy.

:rofl:

18. I noted your handle "SFEXPAT2000" and . . .

Since I'm an SF expat myself (lived in the Bay Area for about 20 years, now in Australia), and browsed to your profile.

How on earth do you rack up over 74,000 posts?

[EFerrari]

19. I kick a lot?

:shrug:

I was an expat for about three years and am now back at the scene of the crime. :)

[MrModerate]

20. Ah ha! And I spend all that time trying to come up with something witty . . .

Which I manage about half the time (ahem).

Luckily I've been out of the States more than in over the last 10 years or so (although some of the places I've been have been pretty cruddy), because I find 1) the international perspective is essential to preventing my brain from exploding and 2) not being on the same continent with Schimpanski and his gang of slugs is a clear win.

Although, if you have to be in the US, San Francisco is definitely the place to be.

21. If it gets unbearable, I can always start swimming.

And I'm only half joking.

[Wetzelbill]

10. that's ok

I barely remember much of my campaign myself.

[EFerrari]

3. We better get some Kleenex out in case they take you up on it.

:)

[Wetzelbill]

5. haha

Seriously, what a clown. Easily the worst president ever, his grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer, and he says this? He must be really confident our media will refuse to even go there. It's simple, Prescott Bush was a Nazi sympathizer, it's his grandfather. Duh. But you won't hear it, instead we'll get Obama's lack of a flag lapel pin and we'll get such insights as who people would rather have a beer with.

7. Gore Vidal calls him "the little Bush" and said recently

that these are the stupidest people ever to inhabit the White House. Can't argue with that.

[Wetzelbill]

11. I have never seen such blatant ignorance

in power. You could tell Dick Cheney and Co. that the sky is blue, but the dumbfucker's if they wanted to believe it was green, they'd just believe it was green, no matter what. It's frustrating. Bush is an utter moron. I still can't believe he was taking us into Iraq, and at his Super Bowl party a few weeks before we went in, one of the Iraqi dissident professors had to tell him that the country had Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds in it. He didn't know there was seperate factions. Ugh. I can tolerate someone stupid to an extent, but when a person makes it a point to be an idiot, that's too much.

[EFerrari]

14. I read, on the eve of the invasion, that there were at least 20 different factions.

Apparently, none of them enjoy American chocolate.

[Wetzelbill]

15. oh yeah if you want to break them all down

Sure there is quite a few. Like the Kurds have been at war for years, for example. Their two big rival faction leaders, Talabani and Barzani, have showed tremendous restraint these last five years and gotten good leadership positions for themselves. But don't expect Bush to be able to comprehend 20 factions, hell, he didn't even know the basic 3. And McCain sounds like he can't even keep Sunni and Shi'a straight half the time. You know, if you take a country to war, and then want to continue that war into another presidency, it makes sense to not know anything about that country in the first place. :)

4. God I wish Barack Obama could make that statement and get away with it

[Wetzelbill]

8. oh he'd get hammered for it

Bad. They'd turn it on him, just like they turned Kerry's military service on him. But, you know, it would be nice to see people call Bush on this stuff. Instead the media will run what he says from the bully pulpit, run what McCain says, and then counter with what Obama and/or Hillary says, and then get some weak middle of the road guy to say they are all a little right and a little wrong and treat it like it's a good story.

[grannylib]

12. I figured the media would ignore that; it was ignored throughout

the campaign when the imbecile was running for pResident, and it will be ignored now. The moron is indeed confident that it won't be...or he really honest to God is THAT STUPID.

[Wetzelbill]

17. ignore that but then

we get Al Gore "invented the internet" John Kerry didn't deserve his Purple Hearts and lord knows what will be cooked up this time.

[grannylib]

23. Yeah, they're great at making shit up, and great at destroying the

evidence of shit they've done, and they'll stoop to any level they think necessary to "win" (steal) this election if we let them.
And we can't be complacent and allow the media to be complicit in this; if all they're "reporting" is WH talking points, or Reich Wing Spin, we have to hold them accountable as well.

[Imagevision]

13. Bush has already been told to shut up because Obama is going to run with Bush Nazi comment

Obama needed this. Watch Bush make no further comments.

[Wetzelbill]

16. That would be interesting

I'll have to keep track of that. If Bush completely shuts it off, I guess we'll know. :)

[Wetzelbill]

22. stuck on three votes all day

Story of my life.

[mcctatas]

24. Democratic frontrunner?

If I donate to your campaign, can I be ambassador to Ireland? Also, do you except donations in confederate dollars? (I'm planning on robbing Pat Buchanan's house later this week)

[Wetzelbill]

27. Hell I'd probably make you ambassador to Ireland for less than that

Just for talking to me and such. :)

Oh yeah, I'll accept Confederate dollars. I'll take anything. Especially if it's part of a plan to rip off Pat.

[knixphan]

25. noses OUT of the ass of the House of Saud!

YES!
:patriot:

[mcctatas]

26. Is that republican foreplay???
