Propaganda overdrive on Fox: "Tens of thousands turn out to greet Bush"


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,156028,00.html

TBILISI, Georgia — President Bush, before a cheering crowd of tens of thousands of people, said Tuesday that the former Soviet republic of Georgia is proving to the world that determined people can rise up and claim their freedom from oppressive rulers.

"Your courage is inspiring democratic reformers and sending a message that echoes across the world: Freedom will be the future of every nation and every people on Earth," Bush said in speech from the Freedom Square that symbolizes the city's democratic pursuits.

"You gathered here armed with nothing but roses and the power of your convictions and you claimed your liberty. And because you acted, Georgia is today both sovereign and free and a beacon of liberty for this region and the world."

In a line that appeared directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin (search), Bush declined to support the bid of two separatist regions aligned with Moscow to gain independence from Georgia. "The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia must be respected ... by all nations," Bush said.

1. They hate Muslims as much as Bush does.
Why do you think they "embrace his vision of democracy?" His vision is Muslim-free.

2. "Even an idiot can grow up to be President" - they're just turning
out en masse because they've heard this about the great opportunities in the West and wanted to see proof of it themselves.

4. Funy how that headline could only come from his visit to a struggling...
... state we had to bribe to become on of the "willing", who until recently, were used to MUCH MUCH worse than GWB.

Could you imagine that headline EVER being used in description of a GWB visit anywhere in the States?

Even on Fox, it would be laughed off the TV.
