With Obama kicking ass, Bush starts talking about nooses.

[NNadir]

WTF?

Another bit of classic Bush doublespeak:

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday that recent displays of nooses are disturbing and indicate that some Americans may be losing sight of the suffering that blacks have endured across the nation.

"The era of rampant lynching is a shameful chapter in American history," Bush said in an event marking African-American history month at the White house.

Is there one person on the planet who thinks this is a coincidence.

God I hope that justice is restored in this country and this man is put on trial for his crimes.

1. very piss poor attempt

to point out a weakness in getting obama elected

[LakeSamish706]

2. And a noose is slung around his neck before all is said and done. n/t

[hatrack]

The Quaker Oats guy must be so proud!

A Form of Neg campaigning

6. lol Bush wants Obama to win. Nice way to make Obama the "underdog" again

It is black history month. Do you expect him to say nothing about race for the month? Even rethug president issues statements for the month.

[thunder rising]

10. I disagree, this is a subliminal message...that MF is threatening our candidate.

[jackson_dem]

11. Bush is too dumb to think that deep

[thunder rising]

13. No, when it comes to racism, and keeping power in "the natural order" ... he's clever enough

If nothing else, he's stupid enough to make a Freudian slip. Who's talking about nooses? That was over 6 months ago? This is a silent whistle call.

16. In his case, it would be better if he said nothing.

He is a racist, he has always been a racist and he always will be a racist.

When he was governor of Texas, he couldn't execute people fast enough.

The Defenders Service report found rampant racial disparities. African-Americans make up 23 percent of the murder victims in Texas, but fewer than 1 percent of executions result from the murder of African-Americans. White women are only 1 percent of murder victims, but 34 percent of executions result from killings of white women. Asked if Texas should call a moratorium as Illinois has done, Bush said no. Asked why, he said, ''The reason why is I'm confident that every person that has been put to death under our state has been guilty of the crime charged.''

His father - a fuck head - did Willie Horton...

His mother claimed that it was great how Hurricane Katrina made a wonderful housing opportunity in the Houston Astrodome...

Ever hear of Bob Jones University?

What were George W. Bush doing during Katrina, anyways? Oh, I know. They were sharing a joke on the tarmac over some birthday cake.

[thunder rising]

7. Nice catch on the Freudian slip? Dog whistles (the silent kind ya'know)

What did he JUST hear about the Jenna incident? Is he going to step in to pardon the 6 students?

Naahhh, this a race baiting at the executive level.

[HeraldSquare212]

8. wow, good pick up - I read that and just ignored it.

[Endangered Specie]

12. Perhaps Obama should return the favor with a speech about:

drunk driving and dodging military service?

[thunder rising]

14. That FUCKING BUSH just made the Secret Service's job much harder.

Can you imagine a sitting President threatening a candidate ... IN THE USA?

[Scriptor Ignotus]

15. no this makes perfect sense

Bush was late to the show with Katrina, and he's late to the show with the noose displays from a few weeks ago. Bush just can't quite find the time to help on racial issues.

So this seems very true to form for Bush. It has nothing to do with Obama.
