Every protest sign directed at Bush during his tenure, no matter how tasteless was justified!!!

[devilgrrl]

This is note to those poo pooing the outrage directed at the stupid facebook group known as, "Dear Lord, This Year You Took My Favorite Actor, Patrick Swazie (sic). You Took My Favorite Actress Farah (sic) Fawcett. You Took My Favorite Singer, Michael Jackson. I Just Wanted to Let You Know, My Favorite President is Barack Obama. Amen", that freeperish high school principals like to sign up for because "it's just a joke".

You can cite all the instances of "kill bush" signs that your heart desires but the fact remains - he allowed the worst terrorist attack on US soil to happen and started a war against a country that had nothing to do with that terrorist attack without provocation. I'd go into his disastrous domestic policies but who has the time? The perpetrators of 9/11 are still gallivanting around the globe, Iraq and Afghanistan are now the longest armed conflicts this country has ever engaged in. I don't see that there's an issue with directing anger at the Bush administration, no matter how crass.

What does the Anti-Obama crowd have against the current President? That he's a democrat? That he's black?

You have a problem that some of us think that facebook group is disgusting?

Boo-fucking hoo. It's not funny and it's sickening that people do find it funny.

And there you have it. Now STFU.

1. Big K and R!!!

To hell with the apologists for that bitch who favors the death of the president!

2. you have it 100% wrong

not surprising.

the facebook group isn't bad, offensive, and scummy because it references obama.

it's bad, offensive and scummy because it prays for the death of our president

yes, bush had mass levels of suckitude, but it would still be wrong if it referenced bush

obama is a far better president than bush, but THAT is not why the facebook group is wrong

it's wrong because it celebrates praying for the death of our president.

5. Does insulting people bring you pleasure?

You could have made your point without making it personal but you just HAD to.

Feel better now?

6. as insults go, that was pretty milquetoast

i said he/she was 100% wrong and that it's not surprising

and that's "making it personal?"

making it personal is like "your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries"

it's NEVER personal on DU. at least not for me. life's too short to take or give personal shit on DU

3. I don't remember many death threats or wishes directed at chimpy.

Lots of folks were calling him a Nazi, but that is certainly an accurate description, based on his politics and his actions.

4. I could not fucking stand George W. Bush. Every day under Bush was misery.

But despite my loathing for the little fucktard, I've never once wished death or even a horribly painful disease on him. The worst I ever wished for the guy would be that he be thrown in jail for the rest of his life, where he absolutely belongs without question.

Frankly, I think the "Death to Chimpy" signs are yet another right-wing urban legend, among many.
