What are the crimes of Bush /Cheney?

[Pharaoh]

In a nutshell, so I can send it to a Rush dittohead cousin :o)

Boy those guys (dittoheads) are so thoroughly brainwashed, they are almost beyond hope. But we still have to try.....

1. I keep a handy list for such occasions.

election fraud, torture, war of aggression, war based on lies, war for profit, corruption of communications media, secret law making, destruction of separation of powers, shredding of Constitution, distortion of science, illegal spying, theocratic tendencies, corruption by oil corporations, 9-11 negligence, environmental destruction, failure to pursue Osama bin Laden, lawless detention, alienation of former allies, slaughter of innocents, fiscal and mortgage industry oversight irresponsibility, erosion of the rule of law, neglect of New Orleans and Gulf Coast, terror warning fear mongering, and nearly psychedelically unbelievable incompetence and brazen criminality

2. this will kick some ass....

been there and done this with my Freeper Cousin: have a few days, read this list that just keeps growing!

BTW: the best use of this massive list is to copy and paste the whole thing into the body of your email, that will freak out even the most dyed in the wool freeper!

9. No it won't. Freepers are mentally similar to Nazis.

Ask yourself, when presented with such a list of Hitler's crimes, what would a Nazi do?

Dismiss it with a sweep of his hand, saying "Jewish Propaganda". As such, he is immune from all facts not Party Approved. Of course, most of what the Bushie and Nazi Parties approved were outright lies and some half-truths with lies wrapped around them. That is what passes for "facts" in the enslaved mind of the Authoritarian Follower.

The ONLY and I mean ONLY difference in the Freeper response is that he will say "Liberal Propaganda" instead of "Jewish Propaganda".

This is 99-100% certain, as totalitarian archteypes, leaders and followers both, are very predictable. Only Free People have a certain high level of unpredictability.

But really, I am going to request the OP to read this post of mine, then send the list and report back the results. As I said: 99% chance it the response will be what I said it was. Watch and learn about what we TRULY FACE.

5. I like the way you think!

8. That's the problem with ditto heads

They want short quick sound bites, they don't want to read alot and digest and think something over. So we need a short concise list, that can be googled and verified with a minimum of effort. That is key for dealing with these folks. Intellectually lazy.....

4. I'm not sure you can condense the 35 Articles of Impeachment

into a "nutshell".

If you're starting from scratch wtih a ditto-head, you might send them the BBC article about the stolen $23 Billion (HIS money, make sure he understands)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7444083.stm

If he's steeped in popular culture, ask him if it's "OK" that the administration has acted more like a crime syndicate, using the AG's office as consigliere..

7. For One, Outing An Undercover CIA Agent

Which blew her cover, and blew the cover of all the other undercover operatives who worked for the same front company (see http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html). And totally screwed any foreign nationals who worked with any of the agents whose covers were blown - some could have been tortured to death in order to try to extract their secrets.

However, be aware that you won't convince a dittohead of anything if they're not convinced already.

10. Pharaoh, please read post #9, and then report back the results of your efforts.

Thanks. :hi:

13. Yup, that's about it....

and about what I got from him. Saying it was all a Liberal media. Except for FOX, My jaw just dropped, you cannot argue with these people, so I don't try. But if you could send them short things or well thought out video clips, it might be helpful.

15. Once you realize just how much like Nazis these people are, mentally, it's pretty scary.

But we dare not let fear paralyze us, lest we suffer a horrid fate, maybe not the exact same fate as the Jews, Poles, Homosexuals and Liberals under Hitler, but horrible nonetheless.

And you know as well as I do, short or long, concise or long-winded, NOTHING can convert them. With the rare exceptions like American History X or some of the former Bushies who woke up that are here on DU, a tiny TINY minority of the whole.

That what cults, religious and political alike, are about, to put a person in a position where they are THEIR MASTERS' (Bushie, Nazi, Commie, Moonie, whatever, take your pick), lock, stock and barrel, and no one can throw them a lifeline because they are programmed to refuse it.

This is a fascinating topic of study, if you wish to study it. The advances in understanding the human mind are mind-boggling and are the physical equivalent, when combined with societal media saturation, of a nuclear bomb for the mind of a populace.

The first link in my signature line is a good place to start. 20 years of scientific research that will help you understand your "friend" so much better. I warn you in advance, it's not the happy-making kind of understanding, but then again your friend is not the good kind of friend.

He is a man who, I am quite sure (with the same level of certainty that I knew EXACTLY what his response to your list would be) , would stand aside while you were put in a Slave Labor camp or worse, as long as some "authority" said it was OK.

Check out that first link in my signature, if you have a chance.

And see you 'round the boards! :hi:

11. The best thing to do is use Kucinich's articles of impeachment. n/t
