Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 03:19 PM by BigBearJohn
How condescending can Scotty get. This is not a damn game.
We have to unite on this. THIS IS NOT A GAME
Then reply, "The only one playing games is the Shrub Administration."
"It's called the POWER game."

10. The more I think about it, the more I don't like this tact.
It's essentially name-calling. The OP is right.

11. 40,000 Deaths?
Aren't we going a bit over the top here?

One needless death was too many...and this is why accountability is required.

it's time to play games while the dead still rot. That is the number they are preparing to handle.

5. It's accountability, not blame.
And it's also about having the most effective people working on this disaster. "waiting" will cost MORE lives and hardship while the incompetents that created all these failures are still running things.

It's life and death
and is only a game at all for these god forsaken frigging plutocrats.

Accountability and responsibility and ineptitude are what it's about.

12. just make it short.....

Say

"This is not a game!!! How Dare you CALL YOURSELF an AMERICAN if you think 40,000 Dead Americans are a GAME!!!"


Remember if you have to raise your voice make sure that you are challenging a freeper's patriotism.

Also it helps if you call them "Boy" . I make sure to do that so they know how it feels.

14. It isn't a game . . .
Unless thousands of dead constitutes some kind of "fun" event. And for this corrupt, bloodthirsty administration, it just might. I have a mental image of Bush and his cronies in a circle jerk looking at the pictures of the bodies and contemplating the coming deaths from disease.

We're in total earnest, Snottie. This ISN'T a game, it's people's lives we're talking about, and the administration is culpable.

15. TENS of THOUSANDS dead, and you call this a GAME!!@#$!
You better believe they are going to lock out the press.
Just like they did with all the bodies returning from Iraq.

20. I Say It's A Reckoning
Blame Game? How dare the media or anybody in this Administration reduce the deaths of thousands of people to a “Blame Game”?

Blame Game? You’ve got to be kidding. I’d call it a reckoning and one that is long over due.
