What will happen to the people who actually believe in Bush when the truth comes out?

[undeterred]

I envision a kind of mass craziness. For the 33% who believe every lie, there will have to be a terrible letdown when all his crimes are exposed and even his closest friends turn against him. Will we have to build a massive number of institutions to house these people?

[newscott]

1. They'll vote for Nixon again.

[Bluzmann57]

5. They'll vote for Mojo Nixon?

Now that would be interesting.

[whistle]

2. Actually the truth about Bush is out, but those people refuse to accept it

[rurallib]

3. Self delusion will keep them going

[badgerpup]

35. Probably something along the line of these reactions...

Thanks gods and googles...:rofl:
I knew I'd seen it but had a helluva time pulling it up.

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29540
In which:

Christ converts to Islam
The reactions of his followers; pro and con.


I do so like The Onion...:bounce:

[saltpoint]

4. Let's do. "A massive number of institutions to house these people" is

a good idea.

Can we get that jump-started? No later than Nov. 6th, is my thought.

Load 'em up, ship 'em out.

[undeterred]

7. Maybe we can get Sensenbrenner to build a 700 mile fence around them

with himself inside, of course.

[saltpoint]

9. He'd be perfect for the job. Tancredo, too. And a whole lot of other

Republicans.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. Their heads will explode!

[silverweb]

8. Crawl back under their rocks...

...and let us get on with the business of fixing everything they've fucked up? Hopefully!

[ktowntennesseedem]

10. They won't let the truth interfere with their delusions.

I predict some will finally see the light, but most will just become more delusional, more defensive, more critical of the liberal media, more insane, in other words, more and more like Rush.

[JohnnyLib2]

11. "more like Rush" -- a horrifying thought.

Hey, maybe his "Club Gitmo" idea will come in handy.

[ktowntennesseedem]

14. The fact the Rush has any following at all...

let alone the huge following of brain-dead disciples drooling over his every word, is a sobering vertict on the intelligence and civility of America.

[theoldman]

12. My experience has been that they would not believe Jesus

if he returned and showed them the error of their ways. Staunch Republicans will never change their minds regardless of the evidence. It is only the independents that can be convinced that they may have made a mistake in voting for Bush.

[peace13]

13. We are talking about people like my mother

She absolutely lost it on 911 and looked to her god George and the Republican party to protect her. It is not a pretty sight I can tell you. Seriously she went to the emergency room on 911 experiencing a panic attack. She is fearful of everything now. Needless to say our relationship is strained. I am sure there are many more like her hiding within our country. Peace, Kim

[Disturbed]

16. Many Rethugs still believe that Nixon did nothing wrong.

It was a Dem conspiracy to get rid of him.

It would be the same with many regarding Busholini.

[DURHAM D]

15. The christian tablian will write the New New Testament.

First Book will be entitled Geroge.

[C_U_L8R]

17. they will burst into green vapor

and a small puddle of rancid spittle

[morningglory]

18. Welllll, we all know the repug charges against Clinton were baseless and

partisan, sooooooooooo, the charges against shithead will, of course, be even more baseless and viciously partisan, because as the C-Span callers say...Never mind! Gawd, I can't stand it if I have to listen to those looney tune R's on C-Span much longer.

[morgan2]

19. something like what happened to christianity

when countless religious proclamations were proved wrong. Earth is flat, earth is center of universe, earth is 6000 years old, species don't evolve, and on and on. They'll ignore it and continue to follow the same kind of idiots and ignoring their past mistakes.

[Atman]

20. They'll just post a lot more on FR and (that other site).

They're stupid. Loyal as a fine hound...and stupid. Or else they wouldn't still be supporting him in the first place.

26. I'll say welcome to Du, even though I question your intentions.

Crimes?

Ignoring the FISA court on wire tapping.

Supporting torture.

800+ signing statements.

i could go on, but it's late here and I'm tired.

33. Bush illegally bypasses the FISA court.

Over 100 detainees that people know of have been tortured to death. Over 55% of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay have not taken up any arms against the US nor belong to any terrorist organization. There is even a detention camp for juveniles with kids as young as 7 having been brought there. You'll come across a whole new world should there ever be trials for impeachment against this administration. Fasten your seat belt if it happens.

[sutz12]

41. Gee, didn't we put Japanese torturers on trial after WWII for waterboarding? nt

[HeeBGBz]

52. 911 changed everything

*gag*

Including the Constitution, the Geneva Convention, Habeous Corpus, and everything else we once held dear.

[mmonk]

28. Joke, right?

[Bad Penny]

29. You're in the wrong convention hall

take the elevator to the sub basement and hang a right until you start to feel hot and hear crazy chanting

[mmonk]

30. If you're really clueless and not joking

this should help you on your journey to reality.

THE CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office
by Dave Lindorf and Barbara Olshansky

Buy it to get a general overview. Then start investigating.

You'll find that NO, all intelligence agencies did not believe so. You'll learn about the Office of Special Plans.

[Richard Steele]

61. Rather enjoyable, actually. One meets so few TRUE FOOLS these days.

[mmonk]

36. May I suggest our research forums.

They are open for you and have good topics. Bottom line, this may be the most impeachable president in the history of the U.S.

49. So you've gone in there and checked?

An assumption. When someone has an assumption about something they haven't seen, then they have made their mind up without investigation. Then one has to ponder the reason why. Most likely political in itself.

[Rincewind]

43. what war?

What war? When did congress declare war, and on who? A fake cowboy shouting "war on terror!! war on terror!!" does not constitute a war. We haven't been attacked since 9-11 because the terrorists have gotten every thing they wanted.

[HeeBGBz]

51. Right on, Rincewind. Welcome to DU

Bush is a terrorist wet dream.

[Bruichladdich]

64. No war was declared, but see this pictures!

If you can: its been on italian TV, but you shouldn't see it with kids!
It shows the use of "Whisky P" or white phosphor and MK 77 ( an äquivalent to napalm) on the iraque civilian people.

Weapons of mass destruction? Oh yes, they are in the Iraq. Its proven by this video:
(its in english language!)
http://www.rainews24.rai.it/ran24/inchiesta/en/video.asp

[Bruichladdich]

66. I can't believe there are no reactions on this video!?

The use of white phosphor or napalm-related chemicals should be banned, or taken and sanctioned as the crime that it really is!

The skin melts, but the clothes stay on. I don't want to imagine how a death with this horrible weapon will be.

[Richard Steele]

68. Poor placement, that's all. Don't take it personally.

You posted it late, in the middle of a large thread that
was already winding down. Few people saw your post, fewer
took time to read it.

At any rate, welcome to DU! :hi:

[Bruichladdich]

69. I am not allowed to open a thread by myself

but thank you for your welcome :-)

[Richard Steele]

71. Try again. 23 posts should be sufficient to start a thread. nm

[Bruichladdich]

72. Do I have to donate first?

(joke)

I can't find a way to start a threat. There is no option, no button to click on, nothing ?

hhmmmhh...sorry, I am not used to this type of forumsoftware.

[Richard Steele]

73. What type of computer/web browser are you using?

I have it so good websurfing with Firefox on my Mac,
sometimes I forget that websites look different on
other machines.

Do you see the DU toolbar at the top of the screen like this?

[Bruichladdich]

74. Big hug Dick! Thank you!

I made it!

Just didn't expected it there on the top! I was searching around the board.

Thanks for your support! :-)

[Richard Steele]

76. You're very welcome.

Happy DUing, friend! :toast:

56. Thanks for illustrating for the OP...

what people who believe Bush will do.

[blonndee]

60. LOL perfect response.

I think they also rename, reload, and return. Or is that what you meant, too?

[CJCRANE]

46. It's been 5 years since 9/11.

The last attack before 9/11 was in '93. That's an 8 year gap. Also what about the anthrax mailer?

As for who believed that Iraq had WMD you should read what Hans Blix (chief UN weapons inspector) had to say or Scott Ritter (former weapons inspector).

As for other intelligence agencies - you should read up on the British "dodgy dossier".

It's also known that torture is not an effective way to obtain accurate intelligence.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

54. You sure are.

Both confused and out of ammo.

[Bruichladdich]

58. His crime is to have think tanks, who were ordered by himself

or his ministers to work this lie about WMD's out. Because there was no other reason to conquer Iraq

Have you ever seen the movie "why we fight"? Quite interesting insight-interview...

Or did you know, that the US delivered the WMD's to Saddam? Of course do they think now, the WMD's are still there, they read the delivering-lists :-)

Did you know, that Bush and Blair were the ones send out to deal with Bin Laden as an ally to fight Russia in Afghanistan?

The fact is: Its absolutely urgent for them to spread fear all over the country, to reach the goal of total monitoring and surveillance. This is just step one ...

[Richard Steele]

59. Yeah, you sure are confused.

Enjoy your stay.

[opihimoimoi]

27. Activate the PUB REHAB 7 Step Program.......

and warm up the Crow Din Din....

[krkaufman]

42. You mean *more* out than it already is?

They're locked-in, and aren't likely to change their minds.

[undeterred]

44. Well, people listening to the MSM still don't know how bad

things are.

[ContraBass Black]

45. Nothing that hasn't already.

[Homer Wells]

47. They'll blame it on Clinton

or the Dem's, or Carter, or Kennedy, or the Gay Coalition, anyone but Dear Leader.

[genie_weenie]

48. People never change once they have reached a conclusion.

So, when the "Truth" comes out it will not affect either group's views. Elaborate justifications will be made, flat out disbelief and ignoring of the data will occur.

[bobthedrummer]

53. Here's some truth, and there's a lot more becoming well known.

55. The new confederacy will be born, complete with a new national anthem:

It will be sung by sticking fingers in one's ears, closing one's eyes, and saying, "LA LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" ad nauseum.

[librechik]

57. they'll never believe it, nurse a grudge, and lash out at anybody

who disturbs their delusion.

[Roland99]

62. Who. Fucking. Cares?

:D

[roamer65]

63. Civil war.

That's my prediction. We had better get use to the phrase "Former United States". This is the worst divide since 1860.

[BlueIris]

65. They've already buried their heads in the sand--permanently.

These folks aren't EVER planning to pull them out again, either. The 33% would believe no matter what because to them, not believing that their theocratic misogynist perspectives can define everyone's lives is the only mental state through which they can understand the world. They can't remove their minds from the only reality they have ever known. Survival instinct. They'll die ignorant.

[spanone]

67. Nothing. Stupid is as stupid does.

[tsuki]

70. They will keep on believing in him. It will be the "lib'rul" press'

fault. They still believe in Joe McCarthy and Nixon.

[earth mom]

75. Denial is a powerful defense mechanism...

people will cling to it for dear life.

Look no further than the denial in the September 11th forum here on DU.
