"Some people say Muslims can't be free!"

[Bluebear]

In the debate last night, Bush said:

"I reject this notion -- and I'm suggesting my opponent isn't -- I reject the notion that some say that if you're Muslim you can't free, you don't desire freedom. I disagree, strongly disagree with that."

I admit it's a twist from his popular "Some people say brown-skins can't be free".....but I am still wondering: WHO SAYS THAT??? What kind of phony push point is he making?

1. Are those the same "some people" who've been saying Kerry's in trouble?

[Minimus]

2. Hey ,I have an idea,. Why don't we ask the Muslims what they want?

Instead of bush forcing it done their throat and "some people" speaking for them/about them.

3. What are you, French?

5. oui

4. I agree

Is Bush now a Muslim or does he "Deal with these people everyday"? I didn't know Bush was a mind-reader!

6. Bush's Imaginary Friends..

That's who his "some people" are. All those voices in his head.

7. I know, that's one of my bones of contention too

WHO THE HELL SAYS THAT?

Ironically, the most derogatory statements about Muslims in general and the illusion that they're all sub-human future terrorists come from right-wingers.

8. He's been saying this for a while now.

The first time was in April (the 13th, to be exact). I actually did a little Drudge-type news story on it (http://www.counterbias.com/news005.html).

9. Yeah, I was hoping for a repeat of the "brown-skinned" comment

That comment revealed, by the very necessity of denial, the racist nature of this war.

Not that the point isn't entirely lost on the majority of white muricans.

10. Bush says, "Darkies can be free and govern themselves, as long as they do

it the way we say."
