Did you see the video of Bush huggin' and kissin' those colored girls?

[Lefty48197]

I think I've seen fifteen minutes of video, from his 90 second meeting with those two ladies. Why in the hell am I surprised that every single network picks that video to show in the very limited amount of air time that they have?

[liveoaktx]

1. Now look at how he pandered

Bush Eyes the Camera and Pushes Women into Camera Eye

Can't miss that op!

[FloridaPat]

2. He turned them into a second camera. I saw the shot on CNN.

[nytemare]

3. Sickening. You can see a distinct cut in the conversation to

ham it up for the camera.

[Lefty48197]

25. Thank you so much for that link. That is one that needs to be saved!

Wow that is the most crass thing I have ever seen in my life.

[Cocoa]

4. message: I care

:puke:

[BrklynLiberal]

5. I would be willing to be $10 they are not even really "victims"...

[MichiganVote]

6. 'colored girls' ?????

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. OMF***ing you know what...could he have been more obvious.

Turning and dragging those women with him. MKJ

[VPStoltz]

14. Maybe they are a couple of Condi's relatives

since she was too busy buying shoes in NYC to care about dealing with the tragedy.

[xultar]

9. Well you know how bush likes to talk abou brown people. They weren't

Black. They were Indian or Arabor something like that.

[MichiganVote]

12. So unless they are somehow white they are 'colored'???

Are we playing with crayola crayons now too?

[xultar]

21. I'm not commenting on the original post. just providing info.

[Tyranny_R_US]

10. They were colored but not of color :/

[MichiganVote]

13. What the hell is that? Off White? Bisque? Cream?

Starting to sound like wall colors.

[Tyranny_R_US]

17. Uma Pemmaraju-ish?

[Lefty48197]

26. I didn't mean to offend in any way with that statement

That's just a term I use to mock non-liberals. Some neighbors of mine used to use the term when I was a little kid (colored). To this day, I use the term to mock certain people. I meant no offense.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

36. When I read that I felt that you were calling them what I am sure ** does.

[Lefty48197]

43. Nope, nope, nope.

Dropping the g's from huggin' and kissin' was my way of making the statement in my best redneck voice. Read the line like Larry the Cable Guy might say it, and you'll have a better feel for what I was doing.

[applegrove]

39. I find that when I am being sardonic and forget the sarcasm smilie I

get into all sorts of trouble. Forgetting the " " is very hurtful to everyone. Sorry you are having a bad day. Perhaps the moderator can help you clarify - what would someone think if they were just skimming by the title. The fear felt by some this week who are the targets of Bushate - must be really horrid.

Peace

[Lefty48197]

44. I'm having a GREAT day!

btw.

[mitchum]

40. I knew exactly what you meant...

and your intent was not to offend. Some people just don't get archness. And it's a pity :)

[Lefty48197]

42. Sardonic and Archness - That's two words I had to look up after posting

Bitterly sarcastic and gaily mischevious. Yeah, they both about sum it up.

[applegrove]

47. Sometimes I don't correct people who are struggling to say something.

Be it sardonic or not. But that is because I know them and like a friend take what is important in their message and blow away the chaff. But in a public forum... where people who are being victimized today more than I am by Bush - I think of how it would feel to them to read those words..or just skim by the threads by title.

Sorry for being the language police. Next time use the " ". And we will not get lost in how we each perceive things. The other day..someone used a term that was archic scientific racism back in the 1800s. I was too busy listening to stop them there and correct - I let it pass. Even when they asked what the term was. I just couldn't be bothered to explain to them at the time. I've been feeling guilty about that. Perhaps why I jump today.

[mitchum]

48. You were not being the language police...

you were merely being an extremely considerate person. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Edit for typo: I don't want the spelling police coming after me :)

[applegrove]

49. Tks.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

45. i didn't think it came across like that's what you were calling them.

it seems like some are trying to make more out of the comment than you intended.

[mitchum]

38. The original poster was being sardonic...

about bush's patronizing use of those two particular women

[xultar]

7. They were'nt Black. They had accents like Indian or Arabic.

[MichiganVote]

16. And that makes them 'colored'??? Not getting this.

[xultar]

20. Nope I'm not excusing the OP

[Lefty48197]

27. That might be an Acadian, or "Cajun" accent.

Otherwise, it sounded Jamaican.

[Harry S Truman]

11. who are they?

can anyone identify them?

[Tyranny_R_US]

18. I'm searching IMDB as we speak

:sarcasm:

[mitchum]

41. ROFLMAO!

very nice :)

[dancingme]

15. he held his breath

and pretended it was Condi :puke:

[riverwalker]

19. "see, I touch colored folk"

"I ain't racist" So fucking patronizing I want to puke.

[applegrove]

22. I hope you were being sardonic in your description of them. African

American?

[omega minimo]

24. Yes, me too and OP-- Please use " " around "___" next time

you want DU to know that you are imitating soft-soap racism in a blatant photo op tactic-- and not have us think you refer to African Americans as "colored girls" or "colored boys."

:kick:

[Lefty48197]

31. I will. Point well taken.

.

[Lefty48197]

34. Dang. Editing period has expired.

.

[Lefty48197]

28. Yes. Please read post #26 for a further explaination.

[Catherine Vincent]

23. They are on CNN now.

They are indian or something.

[Eurobabe]

32. don't matter, Bu$h was blatantly pandering

whatever color they were. Disgusting.

[Poiuyt]

29. Here's the transcription of Bush's dialogue:

From dailykos.com

Bush to women: "There's a Salvation Army center that I want to, that I'll tell you where it is, and they'll get you some help. I'm sorry.... They'll help you.....

Woman 1: "I came here looking for clothes..."

Bush: "They'll get you some clothes, at the Salvation Army center..."

Woman 1: "We don't have anything..."

Bush: "I understand.... Do you know where the center is, that I'm talking to you about?"

Guy with shades: "There's no center there, sir, it's a truck."

Bush: "There's trucks?"

Guy: "There's a school, a school about two miles away....."

Bush: "But isn't there a Salvation center down there?"

Guy: "No that's wiped out...."

Bush: "A temporary center? "

Guy: "No sir they've got a truck there, for food."

Bush: "That's what I'm saying, for food and water."

Bush turns to the sister who's been saying how she needs clothes.

Bush to sister: "You need food and water."


Shows how well he listens, doesn't it?

30. Georgie Porgie Pudding & Pie, Kissed the Girls and Left Them to Die...

When Airforce One turned on its way
Georgie Porgie flew away

[Eurobabe]

35. Wasn't that a movie with Morgan Freeman?

Sorry, this is making me punchy with disbelief.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

33. My flesh crawls whenever I see him touch people

Just seeing it makes me want to scrub with steel wool.

Bad touch!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

37. On the Situation Romm, CNN kept putting video of them up on the split

screens. I felt it was meant to work subliminally.

[spooked911]

46. Because everything is ALWAYS about HIM, don'tcha know?
