Bush and the live backdrops are disturbing, at least to me.

[smartvoter]

Saw his speaking today with troopers on a tiered platform behind him.

I don't like the graphic backdrop plan either, but I'll take it over the uniformed bodies.

1. Bush is just stealing

from Clinton's playbook.

[me b zola]

5. not exactly

Clinton never looked as though he was standing in front of a legion of brownshirts :puke:

6. Here is a typical photo op speech

[me b zola]

10. typical?

:wtf:

I would hardly say that his "typical" audience was a police department. Compare the innocuous picture of President Clinton to the picture here, in post #12

You can look at the two and see a comparison????

13. The difference to me between

the pictures is the one with Clinton looks just casual and like he's talking to the group. The one with Bush looks like he's going to war with anybody who is against him and the military's got his back. :\

16. that was exactly my point

I wish I were able to post pictures, I'd post them side by side for the full effect. Yes, Pres Clinton was within the realm of normalcy, and * is, well, the picture says it all.

15. Egads!!

The only thing missing is the bon fire of burning books and the Swatstika pennents... and poof! you're back in Germany 1940. :scared:

[me b zola]

17. I saw the press conference on tv

My jaw hit the floor when I saw the image that they were projecting. Has no one besides Duers studied history?

[Blue Belle]

18. If ONLY they'd paid attention in history...

:eyes:

[me b zola]

11. Ah, there it is, post # 8 within this thread

compare the pictures. It is no small difference.

[FearofFutility]

7. Brown Shirts

That is exactly what it looked like to me. :scared:

14. "just stealing from Clinton's playbook" - give me a friggin' break!

[watercolors]

2. I'll take the backdrop if you leave out the bush!

3. Just trying to put a human face on a Monster....

[merbex]

4. I saw that too and had to look twice; I thought they had brown

shirts on

Very nazi looking was my first impression

[IChing]

8. you mean this one?

this is a common propaganda ploy used for a long time by politicians to show that

"the "people" are behind him"
be it the police, military, etc.
or whoever


This photo was taken a few years ago




Now in this photo the healthy forest are behind him.

12. ewww yikes bushitler is getting more and more like the real thing every

day.

[applegrove]

9. Notice how his own dam self cannot stand alone? They always

need a surregate. Like Blair or troopers. So sad. Nobody believes a word out of his mouth.

[Armstead]

19. Ever Seen Silver City?

The John Sayles movie that was a metaphor for Bush.

One of the scenes nailed it perfectly. The goofy Governor candidate -- who was obviously a jab at Bush -- is taping speeches. He has two backdrops, some soldiers on one side and fire men on the other. There were only about 6 of each packed tightly to look like a large group onm TV, and they were backdrops for seperate speeches....It was so obviously phony that it perfectly captured the essence of Her Bush's little pep rallies.
