Bush-bashing for the last time ever: his greatest moments

In a way it's too bad that he is leaving. Only few can grimace like he does! :lol:

I must say, that while I'm not all to happy with his political achievements (ehem...) I've always had the feeling that he must be quite a good guy, you know what I mean? He seems to have a real personality, unlike many other politicians.

Some good photos indeed.:yep:

This one is just epic:

I have no desire to bash Bush at all. They guy was handed a crappy hand. Somre created by himself and others that I would not wish on anyone. His first 6 years were not that bad. The last two not so good. The only thing I can say is how he pronounces terrorist....tourists. And nuclear...nuckler.

October 2002 Beltway sniper attacks motivated by an affinity for Islamic Jihad.

Consider it bashed.
Not cripplingly so, but 14 dead and 23+ injured isn't nothing.

You have a point but it was not perpetrated by a terrorist group either foreign or domestic but rather by a nut working alone, so my original contention still stands...

[Biggles]

But he created terror in your minds, didn't he? As always, the term "terrorist" is nothing absolute. But posting leathal content in envelops and send them to persons with intentions to hurt or even kill, is what I would call terrorism.

[August]

And how many before ?

At least two in the preceding Democrat administration.

World Trade Center bombing 1994
Oklahoma Federal building bombing 1995

I must also note that had Clinton actually gone after the perpetrators of the '94 WTC bombing the second attack in '01 might not have occurred.

And guys, why don't you just enjoy the photos and have a laugh at them and leave August alone? ;)

Well, yes, but there wasn't anything to the scale of 9/11 before 9/11, so your point is rather mute.

Maybe, maybe not. 7 years of "War on Terror" and the terrorists are still alive. They just dont have to plan big attacks to get lot of westerns killed, as they can just leave their home, walk to the nearest US checkpoint 500m away and blow themselves up.

PS. Just to end my curiosity, wasnt the WTC bombing in '93? Or was there two?

Regardless I could could care less what Obama does for you. Tho I suspect you will sadly benefit unless you are over 250k rich.

I don't know why I'm continuing this, but...

In your own argument - the Oklahoma bombing was the work of two nutters not affiliated with international terrorism in any way. The WTC '93 bombing only killed 6 people. Meanwhile we came up with a figure of 14 for post-9/11 Bush term.

So... you're wrong, actually?

CCIP because of the good chance the democrats will win big tonight I suggest just ignoring the crazed posts on the crying right wing. (Except those that have to be removed/banned)

Their era of "Terra Terra Terra!" "WAR WAR WAR!!!!" "If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear!" "You are with us or you are with the Terrorists" Is coming to an end and they can't stand that.

Great job guys - and totally unneeded. I recommend you take the foot of the gas pedal, gear down to second, open the window, take a deep breath of fresh air, relax, go slow... and have a laugh at some of the humour the pics and the British comedy originally has been about, some not so long time ago...

The speed at which this derailed makes you wonder what would happen in case Obama turns out to win the election. Will you guys then start to throw darts and knifes at each other?

You fail to realize that Obama's war will be Afganistan. Remember, Washington took the eye off the ball? Oh, Obama will be tested in the first six months. Perhaps this was overlooked as well. Do not get your hopes up on Obama changing the world come Wednesday morning. At this point, we can say the very first change he made is becoming the first black president. The rest remains in his hands. How he wishes the future generation of American to view his accomplishments other than being elected is entirely up to him. Let see how he prevails in the coming years before we can without a shadow of a doubt today predict a sunshine rainbow tomorrow morning. Personally, I see a laundry list of let downs forthcoming. If McCain wins, we will also see a laundry list of let downs. There is a long road of recovery instore for American's. There is no magic wand for either of the candidates.

[Digital_Trucker]

October 17 2008 Dalton, Georgia Attempted suicide bombing 1 killed, one badly injured.

Late to the party, as usual, but this is hardly a terrorist attack. It was a nut who was pissed at his lawyer for not protecting his interests from his own son. It was a murder attempt, not a random killing terrorist attack.

Now back to bashing Dubbya:yep:

Yes and no. Of course, a big attack with high casualty rate is different, but be it soldier or civilian, he's still a human. And seeing how things are in both Afghanistan & Iraq, any death of an coalition soldier or any civilian is IMHO a wasted life for lost cause.

A soldier and a civilian are indeed both humans but the former has the training and the means to defend himself and is alert for danger, the latter (by and large) does and is not.

No i'm just curious if your sense of humor extends across party lines because i'm betting it doesn't.

[Biggles]

Well I say, that poking fun at any politician is okay, part of free press. Then you have to think that some men/women are more popular than others. If I post something like this:
http://blogofhilarity.com/wp-content/uploads/emo_hitler-web.jpg
Then people are less likely to make a fuzz than if I posted something that poked fun at Obama. Why? Well let's face it: wherever you like it our not, Obama is extremely popular around the globe, considering he's an american politician.

But then again, someone will always be offended. Making a joke about Obama is not racist because it's Obama, or because Obama is black. It could be considered racist if the joke is based upon the fact that Obama is an afro-american.

But remember now, this thread is about Bush;)

[baggygreen]

That, biggles, despite being completely politically incorrect, is gold:rotfl: . Shame he didnt just cut himself for attention like the other emos around the place though..

Down here, everyone was allowed to poke fun at john howard's eyebrows, etc, and his 'being a deputy' to GWB, but you should've seen the stink that arose when people started portraying K Rudd in a chairman mao suit, and being referred to as chairman rudd and comrade rudd! the sh!t hit the fan I tell you!

[Onkel Neal]

Yeah, but now that obama is possibly president, he's fair game. If Bush can be compared to a monkey, so can Obama. Go for it. Monkey or otherwise. No double standards.

Of course, historically I've tried to steer discussions away from this kind of idiocy but looks like that's getting harder to do.:roll:

[baggygreen]

Personally I've never associated black people with monkey. If you look like an ape when you pull a face, regardless of skin colour, I'll make the comparison in my mind at the very least. As for that collection, that was well put together:lol:

moving right along, how will the new US president deal with our alliance with the fishies?:arrgh!:

Neither have I (they don't look like monkeys), but since the term "porch monkey" was first used in the 1800s (when slavery was legal), it's been associated with racism. Wonder where "cracker" came from.

Anyway, I'm sure McCain will negotiate with the fish. Bush did say: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

here is possibly my fave bushism

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." -George W. Bush, discussing the decline of the French economy with British Prime Minister Tony Blair

[Stealth Hunter]

Never thought of that.

[Onkel Neal]

Wow... that's disturbing.

Yeah, well what's fair is fair. You didn't post the Bush monkey collage because he was white, you posted it because he looks like monkey and he's President, so it was not racist (tasteless, though). So I have to assume any Obama monkey collages are because he is President and looks like a monkey.

[Stealth Hunter]

What are you talking about? I was referring to McCain's levels in Missouri. He's got a slight lead on Obama ATM.

[joegrundman]

Wow... that's disturbing.

this not true either

Bush does have a certain "monkey-ness" about him that will be exploited by caricaturists - and this is not simply because Presidents look a little like monkeys, but because Bush does.

On the other hand, Obama does not resemble a monkey except in regards to the ol' black people are monkeys thing - which is racist, or except in regards to the fact that all humans kind of resemble monkeys - neither of which makes a good reason for caricature.

Assuming Obama is president, then caricaturists will no doubt find some other likeness that Obama's features suggest - and exploit it. It's unlikely to be a monkey though, and you'd be justified in being suspicious of the intent of Monkey-Obama collages.

So, lets say Bush was regularly shown inside an oven for some reason, would it be ok for a supposed jewish president in waiting to be shown in the same way?

No, it wouldnt, and it has nothing to do with pc, its called common sense.

I suppose, that, once again, you didn't read the question I was referring to.

So what would one call a Stealth Hunter and it be considered racist? Just wondering so I don't slip up and use the wrong derogatory term:D
I don't want to call Obama a monkey, it would be demeaning to the monkeys (as I previously stated). I don't like Bush any more than any one else does. People bashing him doesn't make me angry, that's why I have daily Bush funny quotes on my home page. You ass-u-me that I like Bush because I don't like Obama (a common ignorant assumption).

Well that's my point. I don't think it's ok to show anyone regardless of their heritage in an oven, or depict them as a monkey, or any other insulting caricature. This is not about what, but the why, because the message conveyed by these things is every bit as hateful as any racial stereotype you care to name.

I've had to bear these type of slights for 8 years, you think I care if someone applies the same photoshop to Obama? Nope.

It's got nothing to do with racism.

[stabiz]

Argh, to tired to explain why I dont like it. Its 6AM here now.

[Letum]

So will I be called a racist if I post similar Obama/monkey face comparisons or is this only allowed with Republican politicians?
Sense of humor fail.
No i'm just curious if your sense of humor extends across party lines because i'm betting it doesn't.


Funnily enough I don't have any party loyalty to parties that do not run for election
outside my country.

[robbo180265]

I feel I have to weigh in on this one.

I agree with Stabiz 100% asking people to post pictures of Obama compaired to a monkey IS careless and IMHO would be in danger of encouraging racisim on this forum. Is that the way you want this forum to go Neal?

I agree with you that the photo's compairing Bush to monkeys was tasteless, but come on, take a step back and look at what you wrote.

Maybe I am going about this wrong, robbo. Like you said, I do not want to encouraged any racist behavior in this forum. I don't support racism but I'm not hyper sensitive to it either ( I grew up around black people, went to school with them, played football with them, worked with them, etc). You have to live here to understand, I guess. Recently the Italian PM made a small joke that Obama was "young, fit, and even tanned". In the US that is a compliment, he meant it as a good naturd joke, but there are twits everywhere waiting for this kind of comment so they can go running about with their hands in the air screaming "Racist! Bigot!" :roll:


I appreciate that Warhawk attempted to swing this thread onto the "good-natured laughing at Bush's goofiness" track. My mistake was allowing the racist depictions of Bush by Stealth Hunter, that was over the line and I should have acted on that. This thread is locked.
