Cindy: Let's call it Turdstock!
4:20 p.m.
Gene Ellis reporting for the Iconoclast

Joan Baez sang about four times this afternoon, a couple of the songs being Joe Hill, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Cindy Sheehan spoke at the rally and at a press conference just after that.

Sheehan said that before she came down here, someone told her, "You should go down in a pasture near Bush's ranch and thousands of people would come and you ought to call it Turdstock, so let's call it Turdstock."

5. (lol!) Am I to suspect that Cindy heard that from a DUer??
:rofl:

I sure didn't read it anywhere before I coined it. When I first heard that Cindy was thinking of camping out in a Crawford pasture ... while Rove/Plame was at the top of the news ... all I could think of is thousands of people gathered in a pasture ... Woodstock/Turdstock, Woodstock/Turdstock, Woodstock/Turdstock. Somehow, "WarStock" just didn't have the same 'flavor.'

3. Isn't that just a little too close to "Turd Blossom" for comfort?
Rove might think you're throwing a party in his honor. Or at least for his namesake.

12. Bush's nickname for Rove is "Turd Blossom".
Therefore, Turd might think that Turdstock was for him.

He's probably that delusional.

Facts from before the invasion:



Eleventh hour lies mount as war approaches

by Larry Chin
www.globalresearch.ca   17 March 2003

With a demented fury and lawlessness never before seen in modern world history, the Bush administration continues to resort to desperate means and wildly grotesque propaganda to trigger the next and most violent phase of its 9/11 War of geostrategic conquest for control of the last remaining oil reserves on the planet.

http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/030703_us_intentions.html

http://energycrisis.org/de/lecture.html

http://onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/031303Heinberg/031303heinberg.html

http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/dec2001_files/background_is_oil.html


Bush’s overt aggression is not about terrorism, "rogue dictators", nor "weapons of mass destruction" (all of which the American empire has long been the world’s foremost provider), but "the United States’ vital interest in the region---uninterrupted, secure US/Allied access to Gulf oil", as bluntly laid out the President’s National Security Strategy.

www.milnet.pentagon/centcom/chap1/stratgic.htm#USPolicy

As explained in a new report by Professor Peter Dale Scott, the hidden agenda behind a war on Iraq is, in the immediate term, a battle over petrodollars, OPEC and dollar hegemony.

http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~pdscott/iraq.html

At the March 16 Iraq summit at the Azores (to which no undecided UN Security Council members were invited), the ruthless George W. Bush, who boasts that he "sleeps well at night", issued a new 24-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to "leave Iraq" or face war. while bullying the UN Security Council for a new resolution authorizing war on Iraq.

Bush is leaving no doubt that the US intends to take Iraq, and "redraw the Middle East map" without UN backing. In a particularly sickening twist of irony, war criminal Bush, whose empire has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands of lives, claims that he intends to try top Iraqi officials for war crimes. Many of these crimes, including the alleged gassing and slaughter of Kurds, were directly and indirectly assisted and funded by the Reagan-Bush and Clinton administrations.

Even as the US military shifts into attack mode (http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/031703_rolling_start.html ), and Iraq prepares for the inevitable (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81047,00.html ), the US media has continued to unleash a withering torrent of disinformation aimed at further misleading and confusing public opinion, and blunting opposition to its war agenda.

Wake up America:

Bush is a crook.

Bush is a war criminal.

Bush is a traitor.

9. True, TahitiNut. And they both stink. Both are sick in the head, too.
From Beth, our good friend at BuzzFlash (still a source we can quote on DU, I hope):



Of Course He Is a Psychopath ...

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
by Elizabeth

... or a sociopath -- the distinction here is insignificant.

I'm a mental health professional and psychopaths are a professional interest of mine. There is little doubt that Bush's is a psychopathic character structure.

Another, and I think very appropriate term to describe psychopathy is emotional retardation -- an inability to experience higher emotions expressive of the highest human values (such as empathy and guilt, sympathy, compassion, devotion to common human ideals such as peace, for example, etc.).

A psychopath is a person who uses his often considerable intelligence in the service of his primitive drives (think sex, aggression, power). Being fairly bright, he learns, imperfectly, to mimic emotional expressions suggestive of some higher emotions (compassion, for example), but his reactions hardly fool anyone because they ring hollow as there is no truth and authenticity in them. He can use lofty words when needed -- an easy thing for a fairly intelligent psychopath -- but there is no emotional content to them.

Just look at Bush's responses whenever he is asked, unscripted, about anything that would require him to express either empathy, or caring and compassion for others, including his own family members. He stammers and stumbles, tries some platitudes or inappropriate jokes, and eventually makes a fool of himself. It is always painful to watch and it clearly demonstrates his emotional retardation

Rove? Rove is a NAZI. That means he's a disciplined psycho.
