Unbelieveable Bush* Seance Propaganda Pic

Sorry, the picture wouldn't reproduce. It's got ghosts in it.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/young/young20.html


WASHINGTON – The Affiliated Press has learned that the White House has authorized the Republican Party and President Bush’s re-election campaign to sell commemorative photographs of an event inside the White House in their campaign fundraising.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Campaign Committee are offering the photograph as part of a package deal that includes a seat at a Republican fund-raiser where President Bush will speak.

For a $150 contribution, donors will be sent the photograph, reproduced below, which clearly shows the President standing at a podium in front of a stylized American flag and flanked by what appears to be the ghostly apparitions of presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

The photo, which has been cropped by staffers with the Republican campaign, was taken at a séance held in the White House.

The political tactic comes even though Mr. Bush had previously sworn off mixing election politics and the administration’s War on Terror.

Election finance-law experts said it's unclear whether reproducing a White House photograph violates rules governing acceptable conduct by political campaigns.

21. Sadly, I don't think it's a joke.
It's from http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/

That site is even higher on the gag factor than that picture.

28. The pic is...
...a fake. Done in photoshop.

And since when do you hold a seance where you are STANDING at a podium? You don't.

Get a grip, my friend, it is a FAKE!

37. It's NOT a fake...
This numbered collector's lithograph titled "Praying for Peace," by Ron DiCianni, features two of our best-loved Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, praying on each side of President Bush. It dramatically reminds us of the importance and power of prayer for our leaders. Only 2,500 prints in the series.
https://my.presidentialprayerteam.org/cgi-bin/cart/item.pl/52507305571566839248342?item=DICIANNI

Of course, it's not a photograph of W with Washington and Lincoln (if they were ever in that position, it would be to give hime the heave-ho, but more likely they're spining in their graves so fast W is having them exhumed to sue as oil well drill bits)...

but it IS a lithograph hawked by the temple moneychangers at pResifdentialprayerteam.org

11. Are you kidding? Licoln and Washington would kick the boy-King's
pampered ass!

First off, Washington would BE ROYALLY PISSED at seeing his beloved nation bowing and scraping before a King, and a weak-chinned loser just like the King who he beat to give America it's freedom in the first place.

Lincoln would hate his guts because, under him, the South he defeated has risen and waxes mighty, with a coat of lies painted over it to mask it's treasonous roots. He would also be disgusted at how the beloved Party he brought to power is now Whoring for Jeff Davis.

My my my, Bunnyoants better hope he NEVER runs into the ghosts of Washington and Lincoln!

13. Tom Paine wouldn't be very happy either...I read Common Sense
in full a month ago, and as he described the English system of government at that time, it seemed obvious GW has taken over the same powers as KGIII.

9. I'm going to have an anyeurism.
Edited on Tue Nov-11-03 05:57 PM by BloodyWilliam
"I think that the Democrats are having a very difficult time coming to grips with the fact that the president is a very spiritual man and like all spiritual men, he is aided and guided and sometimes possessed by spirits, sometimes speaking in tongues, which come to think of it, explains a lot about the presidents speaking-style."

On EDIT: Although in all fairness, the source is pretty suspect.

On EDIT again: Didn't Hitler and Stalin become obsessed with the dark arts?

15. What the picture doesn't show is the two former presidents firmly...
...and repeatedly kicking the Squatter-in-Chief in the butt for completely destroying the America that Washington founded and Lincoln preserved.

And yes, I know it's a joke.

16. And this is why I call them Republicannibals
Edited on Tue Nov-11-03 06:43 PM by Military Brat
No matter what they do, no matter how low they stoop, they will use the dead to further their goals. (Hey, bush, how about writing the name of each of the 9-11 dead on a balloon at the Republicannibal Convention in 2004 and releasing all the balloons just as you "accept" the nomination?)

It's a piss-poor tacky photo, though. Someone should really brush up on their Photoshop techniques.

Edit: Reminder to self - read all posts before posting. But I wouldn't put it past them, either, even if this instance is a joke. That's the sad thing about it, that we don't think there's anything bush/rove wouldn't do, no matter how crass.

33. Man, this is too much
I thought I'd seen everything, until tonite. Is this web site for real? Obviously, the photo is a fake. But it's obviously being used by this Presidential prayer web site.

So how would Lincoln and Washington feel that their images were being used without their 'permission'?

It's too late in the evening, otherwise I'd post some very strange things both of them had to say about the future. It was positively horrible. I wonder if they meant Bush.

36. Needs work...
Washington was our first warrior president, which goes without saying since he was our first "anything" president. Washington also couldn't tell a lie*

Lincoln was known as Honest Abe.

Does anyone think that a warrior president and the last honest president we ever had would be praying with No-Truth George? No, they'd have their hands wrapped around his neck.

* One day young George Washington and one of his friends were out playing when they spotted the outhouse.

Said George to his friend, "let's push the outhouse over the cliff." They did so.

Later, George's father called him in. "George, did you push the outhouse over the cliff?" George stood there in silence.

"George," said his father, "remember when you chopped down the cherry tree? When I asked you if you'd done it, you stood up, said 'Father, I cannot tell a lie,' and admitted to it. Now! Did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"

"Father," George said, "I cannot tell a lie. I pushed the outhouse over the cliff."

George's father immediately turned young George over his knee and beat him to within an inch of his life.

"But father," George choked out, "you didn't beat me after I chopped down the cherry tree!"

"That's because I wasn't sitting in it when you chopped it down."

43. the picture is a painting,
sold by that patriotic artist. The artist is for real, and sells a lot of other schlock. Someone on II linked to the site a few months ago (he didn't appreciate our comments on his guestbook). But the seance story is fake.
