Did anyone catch ABC showing the infamous Bush "finger" video?

[mzmolly]

I hear they aired it and if they did, it's because of US! :hi:

[mzmolly]

1. Thanks to wishbone for this information.

:)

[mzmolly]

28. CORRECTION: Thanks to WISHLIST for this information.

:hi: sorry Wishlist.

[babylonsister]

2. Yep, I saw it. And they mentioned how many

people downloaded it from the internet(s). Can't remember number, but lots and lots!:bounce:

[flowomo]

6. "over a million" Jennings said

[Rose Siding]

7. Did Jennings laugh? What did he say about it?

I can't believe they actually showed it!

[flowomo]

11. wry smile

[eShirl]

22. what? where? duh?

Does anyone have a link for this, for me to see it? I've been out of the loop most of this week (hospitalization in the family).

Thanks in advance!

[livinbella]

3. Please fill me in

4. I might have to tune in.

:D

[flowomo]

5. yep... and they slam-dunked on the weapons cache!

great last line to that piece.

[mzmolly]

8. I sent the ad all over with the title "Bush gives camara the finger ...

circulating all over the internet." ABC news was one of those on my media list. :evilgrin:

Though I'm certain I'm not alone in sending this out, thanks to ALL the DU-ers who supplied this video and blasted it! :hi:

[stevedeshazer]

16. Rocks!

:thumbsup:

[mzmolly]

26. Thanks, I believe I spelled camera correctly in my original email.

;)

17. Did they actually show Bush giving the finger???

Or did they tiptoe around it?

[ydya]

9. Did they show the whole thing....particularly his

comment "one finger victory salute"?
The Repubs will try to argue that it is a faked video by the liberal media. But with the last comment by Bush, they are screwed......I doubt even the most hardcore fundy can convince himself/herself that this is a fake.
This has gotta deflate them a bit!

[mzmolly]

25. Yes they aired the comment from what I've heard.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[DemBones DemBones]

10. ABC or NBC??? I want to TiVo it on the west coast feed. . .

You say ABC, then someone says Jennings, who's on NBC, isn't he?

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

12. ABC = Jennings; NBC = Brokaw n/t

[wishlist]

13. On ABC with Peter Jennings, you could hear Bush say 'one finger salute'

ABC was incredible tonight between the explosive story (incl Channel 5 video), Halliburton and the finger clip!

[incapsulated]

14. Jennings is ABC n/t

[DemBones DemBones]

20. Thanks to all who answered my question!

:7

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Seriously? This thing aired on national news???

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

19. Yeah they blurred out the finger a bit

but you could definitely tell what he was doing. Then he remarked on the "one-finger victory salute" plus you hear Karen Hughes hooting when he does it, so it's pretty obvious it's real and not a fake.

They aired it!

[mzmolly]

30. I suggested they "blur" it in my email to the media.

Again, I'm sure I'm not alone but it sure is great to see them expose "the man child" for who he is. :hi:

[LittleClarkie]

21. Does anyone know when EXACTLY that video is from

and if it was AFTER he declared himself a Christian?

[tomfodw]

23. Sure he is, he uses one finger to cross himself

As opposed to the 2 or 3 fingers other Christians use.

;)

[TexasChick]

31. It's from when he was governor of our state of Texas and yes, it's after

he supposedly accepted Christ as his Savior! Of course, I know that's all baloney, he doesn't know Christ from a rock in the ground! The video was taken in Austin.

[LittleClarkie]

38. I ask because I know that some people

will try to say that this was before he found Jesus, which is the great eraser of past discretions.

Sometimes I think it's not bogus, because he fits that recovering alcoholic using-religion-as-a-life-preserver motif, with his views of black and white and his refusal to examine when he might be wrong.

But then I've been told he didn't become Christian until he lost an earlier election to a Religious Right person, and saw what a voting block they could be.

Either way, evil or just clueless, the man is in over his head.

[progressivebydesign]

42. He called Adam Clymer a "MAJOR LEAGUE ASSHOLE" in 2000

LONG after he found Jesus, or started thinking he WAS Jesus.

[troublemaker]

32. 1990s - He was gov TX at the time, so way after his "conversion"

[txindy]

34. He was the gov. of Texas, so it is long after he claimed to be 'born again

:eyes: You can take the boy out of the frat house, but you can't take the frat house out of the boy - especially when he fights you, kicking and screaming.

[americanwomanone]

24. I Saw it! n/t

[Merlin]

33. Did they actually show Bush giving the finger???

Or did they just gloss over it?

[Catherine Vincent]

27. You're shitting me?!

If they did, I'll be damned!

[mzmolly]

29. No ma'am, I guess they aired it.

:hi:

[txindy]

36. Well, they did and I hope you're not!

:hi: You want to be around to enjoy the next 8 years of the Kerry admin., right? ;)

[Gold Metal Flake]

35. Check what these guys did with the video
