Bush to address African-American rights group (NAACP)
US President George W. Bush will address the NAACP -- the largest and oldest US civil rights organization -- at its national convention in Washington this week, the White House announced.

His decision to address the group comes after years of snubs by the president, after the group's leadership harshly condemned his administration's policies.

1. Why?
Why is that worthless, drug addicted, military deserting, corporate criminal racist son of a bitch (yes barbara you are a bitch) addressing the NAACP? I know they invited him and I hope they boo his sorry, worthless ass off the stage. He has nothing to say to African Americans except fuck you, I'll attempt to play you like a fiddle, ceptin I don't know how to play a musical instrument. Extremely sad.

2. Speaking as a AA female, I hope that the NAACP
DOES NOT greet him with polite applause.

When the little moron takes the stage, I hope that those in attendance will be remembering the faces and the plights of the Katrina victims!

7. DebbieDee, I'm also an AA woman
I hope that it's so quiet, you can hear a pin drop on extra plush carpetting. Folks need to stop being polite to this idiotic son of a bitch. People are dying and being maimed each and every day.

He hasn't so far...

10. trying to mend fences - they're worried about their chances this fall
if the vote is a landslide for dems, they won't be able to steal it without causing some trouble for themselves

4. Beware!!!
When he opens his mouth to eat or to talk, bad things can be heard!!How many times will he put his foot in his mouth?? Can`t wait! He`ll probably start a race war. Hope they plan on serving "pig". :)

5. Ask yourself what this moran could
possibly have to say to a group whom he has snubbed for years. The only AA I know of that might like him is Ken Blackwell. They should throw rotten tomatoes at him.

6. Election year. Need that vote. Thinks this will make black
people come running to vote repuke.

Does anyone think that if the repukes running for office weren't so damn far behind the dems he'd be doing this? If they do, well there's this excellent piece of land in the Everglades with your name on it.

This is pathetic.

14. No matter what he says, or how he is received,
this move will set the groundwork for an increased Republican majority, as black voters turn out to support the Republican platform in record numbers

in districts with Diebold voting systems.

8. The "white house" was never more appropriately named.
Actually I see this as a good thing. Shit-for-brains will likely say something incredibly stupid and racist and drive even more voters away from the GOP.

11. It will be interesting to hear the right wing pundits explain this
When he snubbed the event before, they claimed he was doing the right thing. I wonder how they will explain he is doing the right thing now by actually going?

12. He will talk about immigration
and gay marriage and he will try to be humorous. It will be sickening. Hopefully Alan Keyes will be there to introduce him.

13. Bring him on

The NAACP would love to hear what a connecticut preppy AWOL cheerleader has to say...

Bush can tell them how he was the HERO of Hurricane Katrina, and other shit...

16. Bush only heard the "AA" part. He thinks its just one of his weekly
meetings.
