"Giving the finger to America"

[RaulVB]

That picture of Bush's video where he shows his middle finger to the camera, belongs to who?

Could it be made a billboard?

[ogradda]

1. what an awesome idea.

we can put one across from the justice department, elderly facilities, homeless shelters.....well the possibilities are simply endless.

[TaleWgnDg]

2. Uuuuuuummmmm, I don't believe a billboard corporation would

take that ad. They have the discretion not to take the ad, legally. And, BTW, Clear Channel has quite a lock on billboard advertising space across America. Yes, THAT Clear Channel!

[RaulVB]

4. Sure, a corporation wouldn't...

But an alternative style of billboard could be created.

I mean is just free speech, right?

Bush is a public figure and HE did it!

15. But we could make road signs of the pic with 'Our Leader' and

put it next to those 'Our Leader' billboards.

[RaulVB]

3. Yes, I would really like to do that

How can we (DU) put it together?

5. Here's an idea

On the back of some signs here in my city (you know, turn signs, etc.) on a VERY busy street (probably the most heavily trafficked) there are "messages" that have been stuck there so that people driving the opposite direction can see them. They are "posters" with a sticky back (and rather hard for the city to scrape off). It's a pretty cool trick, and when they get scraped off someone replaces them.

6. good use for left over K/E 04 bumper stickers................n/t

[Carolab]

7. These are much more subversive though

more like the "finger poster". Won't go into details lest they be found out and removed!

[Her Blondness]

8. A still photo would just look "PhotoShopped"

You could create that kind of picture yourself on the computer with the right software.

I think we should email the actual video to every repug we know with the subject line: "President Bush salutes America!"

[Goldeneye]

9. All DUers should print off paper sized copies

and put them all over their towns. Especially on RNC headquarters...hey why not?

[Hamoth]

10. A subversive idea

You know those new Carlyle group cinemas? Well they have these video screens near the popcorn that play a pre-recorded video over and over. It would be terrible if those started playing something else.

Just terrible.

11. That video idea...

ROFL!!!!

Thank you, that is just what I needed to start my day!

[keepthemhonest]

12. can someone post the picture so we can see it again?

what were the circumstances surrounding the incident. Why did Bush flip the bird and who caught it on film?

[txindy]

13. I don't have the link, but what I do know is this

It's back when Junior was governor. He was prepping to make a recorded announcement and was being a smart*ass with someone behind the camera. It may have been Karen Hughes, who knows? Anyway, he flashed what he called his "one finger victory salute." He was so very amused by himself, too! :eyes: Schmuck.

14. thanks txindy

what morals from our"moral leader"

:bounce: I believe too

23. He's always very amused by himself

Disgusting behavior from an extremely disgusting sorry ass excuse for a human being. :puke:

18. Nixon redux

I know..I WISH that picture had gotten wider circulation. I was listening to NPR the other day and one comment was that Nixon lost the support of the Christian Right when they heard his vulgarities on the tapes. Another missed opportunity this time.... !

19. definately

my who is a republican ,votes for them because of their morals of the Democrats. I wonder if she knew about that, imagine what he does when there isn't a camera

[DTinAZ]

20. too late

I'm not sure when the "uncensored" video first surfaced, but I think it was too late for adequate distribution, given that the MSM surely wouldn't touch it.

I've had a still image from it on my own Home page for over a month (I didn't like the captured frame that I've seen on many sites, because the finger and the nose were colliding--somewhat reminiscent of the old nose-picking video from his baseball ownership days). My site is here:

22. Finger Flick

I saw it on Drudge about a week before the election! It made me really wonder where he (Drudge) was coming from.

Of course, even though Drudge is a right wing repub site it doesn't mean he actually supports the shrub (like so many of our repub brothers and sisters this election....)!

[electropop]

21. It should copy the "Our Leader" billboard in FL

And add a couple of words: "OUR so-called LEADER"
