Welcome To Townhall World: Where The Media Is Always Wrong And Bush Is Always Right
Welcome To Townhall World: Where The Media Is Always Wrong And Bush Is Always Right
Sixty percent of Americans believe that the media is reporting things in Iraq either accurately or better than they really are. Just 29% approve of Bush’s handling of the Iraq war. But if you watched today’s “townhall” event with President Bush you’d never know it.
Towards the end of the event – which lasted over an hour and was extensively covered by all three cable networks — a woman launched into tirade against the media’s coverage of the Iraq war. She concluded that, if people knew the truth, they’d “never say another negative thing about this conflict again.” She recieved a standing ovation. Watch it:
The effect of these staged events is to give people a false impression of people’s attitudes about the President’s policies. The media seems happy to play along.
Transcript:
QUESTION: I want to let you know that every service at our church, you are by name lifted up in prayer — and you and your staff and all of our leaders. And we believe in you. We are behind you. And we cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done to shape our country. Second of all, this is my husband who has returned from a 13- month tour in Tikrit.
BUSH: Oh, yes. Thank you, buddy. Welcome back.
QUESTION: His job while serving was as a broadcast journalist. And he has brought back several DVDs full of wonderful footage of reconstruction, of medical things going on. And I ask you this from the bottom of my heart for a solution to this, because it seems that our major media networks don’t want to portray the good. They just want to focus…
BUSH: OK, hold on a second.
QUESTION: They just want to focus on another car bomb or they just want to focus on some more bloodshed or they just want to focus on how they don’t agree with you and what you’re doing, when they don’t even probably know how you’re doing what you’re doing anyway. But what can we do to get that footage on CNN, on Fox, to get it on Headline News, to get it on the local news? Because you can send it to the news people — and I’m sorry I’m rambling — like I have…
BUSH: So was I, though, for about an hour.
QUESTION: … can you use this, and it’ll just end up in a drawer because it’s good. It portrays the good. And if people could see that, if the American people could see it, there would never be another negative word about this conflict.
BUSH: Well, I appreciate that.

March 22nd, 2006 at 2:22 pmWe are just not that stupid.
I can’t wait to hear Olbermann say again, “Who is he F’n kidding?”
This shit has to stop. This is just a big propaganda stunt. Wonder what prizes the audience got. It just has to end.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:27 pmExcuse me while I throw up…
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:27 pmI have never seen a politician who was so afraid to appear before the public that his every appearance needed to be coreographed before a hand-picked audience of clackers. What a dispicable coward.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:29 pmDid Saddam Hussein Gas His Own People?
I decided to read up on the history, and found Iraq denied having used gas against its own people. Furthermore, I heard that a Pentagon investigation at the time had also turned up no hard evidence of Saddam gassing his own people

March 22nd, 2006 at 2:30 pmThe Media/Press is being paid to promote Bush and his war of LIES! The event today was staged for Dubya by Karl Rove to try to get Americans to believe in Bush fantasy, but only the Bush lovers will be swayed to remain supporting him! They are in a coma > PERIOD.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:30 pmDance! Dance, my merry bunch of marionettes!
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:32 pmEverything about this man and his life has been staged (Except his cocaine addiction, that was all him)
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:34 pm“The condition of the dead Kurds’ bodies however, indicated they had been killed with a blood agent — that is, a cyanide-based gas — which Iran was known to use. The Iraqis, who are thought to have used mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at the time.”

March 22nd, 2006 at 2:35 pmdoes anyone remember what the media claimed about Mondays’ speech in Cleveland? I do believe that the media touted that this was the first time that bush was goig to respond to not previously reviewed questions! Well, what no one pointed out was the fact that the audience was a controlled audience! Thus, How many “tough questions” were asked?
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:35 pmI do believe that this group in the whitehouse has no ability to do anything but lie!
Todays’ audience was also a select one and their comments and questions were simply more examples of the bullshite being fed the gopers in this once great country.
Oh well billjpa@aol.com
Here’s the real problem:
30% of America would support still support Bush if he were caught on tape eating a baby while having ‘relations’ with a goat.
30% of America would want to lynch Bush if he cured cancer, solved world hunger, and was personally annointed by Jesus himself as God’s choice to lead us all (for real, not just like Bush pretends).
40% of us are rationale people.
The people that get invited to these Town Hall meetings are in the first 30%. What happened in Cleveland a few days ago is what happens when the 40% of rationale Americans get a crack at him.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:36 pmDID SADDAM “GAS HIS OWN PEOPLE”?
But the truth is, all we know for certain is that Kurds were bombarded with poison gas that day at Halabja. We cannot say with any certainty that Iraqi chemical weapons killed the Kurds. This is not the only distortion in the Halabja story.
http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/siteinfo/newsround/iraq2.html
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:37 pm“Broadcast journalist?” WTF kind of military assignment is that? And how convenient that this woman happened to get tagged by Bush for her “Hustle and Flow” moment. I want her name and her husband’s name, and I want to see their affiliations. Never a negative word about this conflict, huh? Oh yeah, that is some STRONG Kool-Aid.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:38 pmMore than most, the people of Halabja would love to see the end of Saddam Hussein but many are sceptical about American motives, pointing out that Washington was backing him at the time and tried to blame nearby Iran for the chemical attack on Halabja.

March 22nd, 2006 at 2:38 pmYou’re right Mr. Bush, I don’t believe my eyes. Now pass that pipe.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:39 pmMonkey Knut Wrench,
Keep in mind that Saddam is NOT on trial for gassing the Kurds in Halabja. He is on trial for ordering the execution of 142 people after a failed assination attempt.
You are probably on to something. They most likely don’t have solid proof that Saddam ordered the gassing.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:42 pmHeh
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:42 pmWhat is truly sad is that the majority of people do not listen to him anymore. They tune out when he talks. He has lost all crediblity and the majority of Americans call him incompetent.
I think it is better for him to run around the country giving speeches that nobody listens to than making any decisions. We are safer when he is out of the white house. I think we should encourage him to cycle more. The only damage he can do on a bike is pretty minor and probably just result in a broken bone or a scratched knee.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:43 pm#6, 10, 13, 15 - There’s a Think Fast posting below. It’s considered an open thread. Not saying I disagree with you that Saddam is/was a bad dude.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:43 pmFROM THE WHITE HOUSE WEBSITE:
Interesting that they bring that up, since US forces are trying to do the same thing.
What I am asking is… what is so stupid about finding a way to harm your enemy while keeping yourself as safe as possible?
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:44 pm#18 - assination
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:45 pmAs in George W. Bush? :-D
#12
Here’s your problem:
You are a f*cking idiot! Give America more credit than that. The problem you and other liberal have is that after all of these years, you are still trying to defeat Bush. You had your chance and you lost. Accept it. No moderate, there is no such animal by the way, will be willing to vote for a democratic candidate in ‘08 unless you can create a reason for him or her to. Hating Bush will not win any votes. It didn’t in ‘04 and won’t in ‘08.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:45 pmRead Representative Ron Pauls statement against the war bill way back in October 8, 2002…
http://www.house.gov/ paul/ congrec/ congrec2002/ cr100802.htm
It’s very interesting and has some info I took as gospel on a couple of things used in the run up to war…the gassing of the Kurds and “He tried to kill my dad” Until I read this statement I had always taken these two events as gospel as presented.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:45 pmM.K.W. I couldn’t agree more. bush has killed more people in 5 yrs than any Sucide bomber has……
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:46 pmTowards the end of the event – which lasted over an hour and was extensively covered by all three cable networks. - - I watched CNN and I don’t think they showed the speech at all, but MSNBC had it from start to the droning finish.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:46 pmFunny, just like the trolls do here when they speak of America being anti choice and angry with judges. I don’t think so.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:47 pm“It portrays the good. And if people could see that, if the American people could see it, there would never be another negative word about this conflict.”
Well, let’s see. If a Mafia boss takes some of his racketeering money and gives it to a hospital, does that make the original crime OK?
Tens of thousands of people are dead who would otherwise be alive because of George W. Bush’s unnecessary war.
They can build 1000 schools and it won’t make up for what was, and always shall be, an illegal act.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:48 pm17# Im making a point in the Bush video where that idiot bush explains all his reasons for attcking iraq and he say ” we know that Iraq use weapons of mass destruction i.e. the gas
now read 25 ………..IRONIC really
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:49 pmI had a dream last night. It involved me running after George W. Bush with a sub-machine gun in a Wal-Mart parking lot. In the end though, when I had him cornered and I had a chance to do it I couldn’t bring myself to kill him. It’s pretty bad when your conscience keeps you from killing George W. Bush in a dream.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:50 pmIsn’t terrorism used to instill fear.
Terrorism = Fear
So, the terrorists aren’t turning to fear that is the whole point of terrorism.
Now, if the sentence read: “The insurgents are turing to terrrorism to instill fear…” Then it would amke sense. Otherwise, that is just another Bushism.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:50 pmThe Bush Doctrine has failed completely. It is based on pre-emptive strikes and invasion, particularly if the adversary is weak, it has an army that will run rather than fight, it has no air force or navy, it has a dysfunctional society, economy and government and has a natural resource that is easily confiscated. If the adversary is strong, resort to name calling. Bush has developed a neurosis trying to defend the indefensible–his Iraq policy. His flirtation with mental illness is plainly visible as he bobs and weaves, smirks, laughs at inappropriate times, and tugs at his hearing aid. The majority of the American people now know they have been lied to concerning the reasons for this meaningless war which have been many and varied since its start. The great mystery is how can a third of the population support this dolt and remain duped as long as it has. N. Korea is flexing its military/nuclear strength. Red China is sending military advisors to help South American countires with military maneuvers. How did we lose hegemony in our hemisphere. America has an incompetent, inept and ignorant leader. We must divest ourselves of Iraq or face the prospect of allout war or bankruptcy.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:52 pmJudd,
Nice try linking this post back to an earlier one with CBS behind the numbers. And we are supposed to believe CBS after phony documents? Did you catch Laura Ingram lambasting Carville on the Today Show yesterday? Did you notice how many different “news” shows used the phrase “towel slapping” in reference to yesterday’s news conference? Tell me that someone is not dictating what the message is or will be in the MSM. Tell me that they are not just focusing on the negative story from Iraq. These are the reasons for the success behind talk radio and Fox News.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:52 pmIf FOX ever drops its carbomb and IED coverage and switches to schools and water treatment plants, I’ll start to wonder about the supposed bias. Until then, I’ll assume it’s at least as horrible as it seems, and wonder if it’s not worse.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:56 pmSo this woman believes that we should forget about Bush manipultaing intelligence to start this war, ignoring Bin Laden who was behind 9/11, detaining innocent civilians without charges or representation, torturing those civilians, spying on Americans without warrant, killing tens of thousand of Iraqis and thousands of US sodliers all for the sake of Bush’s lies and power-hungry PNAC pals? We should forget about all that because she supposedly has a DVD of a couple schools being rebuilt (after being bombed by US attacks no doubt) or a hospitl being repainted.
That is seriously f-ed up. When protecting the Leader is more imoprtant than thousands of deaths of human beings, torutre and the loss of civil liberties then your priorities are seriously out of touch with reality.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:58 pmYou mean this?
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/03/21.html#a7608
I wouldn’t call that lambasting.
I would file it under trying to interupt him over and over.
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:58 pmCould we give them all big grants from the DoD to move into ….
the new tornado alley that’s being caused by global warming?
You know, nudge-nudge, wink-wink, “I got some cheap land that’s for sale ’cause the owner believes in global warming and wants to sell out now.”
It would be an interesting experiment: How many actually believe what Bush says and will stand behind what he says?
March 22nd, 2006 at 2:59 pmMonkey Knut Wrench, you are using Bill Clinton’s , there is a miniscule amount of truth here and i intend to find the weasle clause that allows me maintain my truthfulness approach. Yes and Ivan The Terrible at Treblinka only killed 50 jews a day on some days.Did the Left ever dispute that saddam gased his own people? I think you are disecting the argument and failing. The argument is about INTENT, you know the basis of all criminal charges. WHY DID WE INVADE IRAQ? Go blow smoke up some one elses ass , try the Washington Post, they have a new bootlicker blog just for you. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/ redamerica/ 2006/ 03/ pachyderms_in_the_mist_red_ame.html
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:03 pmthe truth is..’My husband/son can’t be here, he’s dead’. ‘Why are you here Mr.Bush talking about Iraq,don’t you remember ‘Mission Accomplished’?
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:03 pmNo one argues today about three facts that are known to everyone; we will list them, in order to remind everyone:
First, for over seven years the United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples.
If some people have in the past argued about the fact of the occupation, all the people of the Peninsula have now acknowledged it. The best proof of this is the Americans’ continuing aggression against the Iraqi people using the Peninsula as a staging post, even though all its rulers are against their territories being used to that end, but they are helpless.
Second, despite the great devastation inflicted on the Iraqi people by the crusader-Zionist alliance, and despite the huge number of those killed, which has exceeded 1 million… despite all this, the Americans are once against trying to repeat the horrific massacres, as though they are not content with the protracted blockade imposed after the ferocious war or the fragmentation and devastation.
So here they come to annihilate what is left of this people and to humiliate their Muslim neighbors.
Third, if the Americans’ aims behind these wars are religious and economic, the aim is also to serve the Jews’ petty state and divert attention from its occupation of Jerusalem and murder of Muslims there. The best proof of this is their eagerness to destroy Iraq, the strongest neighboring Arab state, and their endeavor to fragment all the states of the region such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan into paper statelets and through their disunion and weakness to guarantee Israel’s survival and the continuation of the brutal crusade occupation of the Peninsula.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:09 pmNinety percent of the media-newspapers, TV networks, cable and talk radio is conservative/right wing controlled. The media cheer-led the Bush shock and awe invasion of Iraq despite the indiscriminate bombing that resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocents. They have supported Bush in every aspect of his dysfunctional presidency regardless of the policy or result. Bush’s imbedded journalists were reporting positive results of his meaningless war with great heraldry and bravado. What has changed that has turned Bush in a whirling dervish is the fact that the American people were told that the war would cost a mere pittance, no casualties and it would last about (2) weeks. The opposite is true. The war is in its 4th year, killings and murders are high, civil war is apparent, bombings continue, Osama and Taliban growing stronger and our country heading into bankruptcy. He has the gall to blame “his” media. The man is mentally ill and so are those that support his incompetence.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:10 pmThose crowds have the same stage-managed, Paxil glazed, ever attentive looks as a Ron Popeil informercial crowd.
At least Popeils’ useless products only cost $19.95.

March 22nd, 2006 at 3:13 pmThe MSM is a big chunk of the problem.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:14 pmThey are guilty of supporting/protecting The Organized Criminals that are Junior’s Administration.
#23 It is clear that you are the angry and hateful one, not us. Hating Bush will not win any votes? What is the use of saying something so assinine? Republicans have no message and are quickly fraying and their brainchild of saying they are tough on national security has proven to be merely rhetoric. Bush is a proven liar.
Why the need for so many speeches recently? Who is he trying to convince if all of America believes his lies? Are you one of those that believes the bad ole media is out to get Chimpy? Conspiracy maybe?
I heard a commercial that Frist has just released touting his great plan regarding illegal aliens. He says he isn’t like others that are letting the illegal alien issue ruin America’s workforce and taking advantage of our healthcare and stealing education from our children by giving workcards. The “others” he speaks of is Bush. Who do you agree with? I find it ironic that he is running on an antiBush platform, which is what most republicans will run on, but just can’t say it. They are walking a fine line agreeing and disagreeing with Bush at the same time. It looks duplicitous, at best.
And back to your statement that hating Bush will not win votes. Assinine
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:18 pmHer response: And if people could see that, if the American people could see it, there would never be another negative word about this conflict.
Wow, I guess the number of dead, number of injured, number that have/will have mental problems that Bush and the Republicans will not help pay for after they return, lives ruined, money spent that would have helped tremendously for doing good in this country, etc. etc. etc.
Yes, there are great things that get accomplished there, but the progress is extremely slow and spotty (who knows where her brave husband was in the country, what he does, her connections with Republicans, etc). If all these wonderful great things are taking place and the media is crazy (I give the media credit though, it is a huge talent to be able to disguise all the good among the bombs, dead bodies, leack of electricity, drinking water, broken families, etc. I just do not understand why these blind Bush supporters not over there to help…they could at least write a check for their tax cut rewards to support our troops.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:18 pmJust thinking…this is a quote from the Declaration of Indepedence:
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
Just substitute where appropriate…
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:19 pmWhat are the objective criteria for progress in Iraq? The number of news stories giving good or bad news about Iraq can’t be it. Even after dismissing the “liberal” bias of the media (more like a laziness bias — let’s all talk about the same thing and follow the straight-line projection), you still have the fact that “If it bleeds, it leads” is the non-partisan newsman’s mantra. Fox can claim the high road on the Iraq story, maybe, but how much time have they focused on the tragedy of Natalee Holloway when thousands of teenage girls return from the Caribbean unharmed every week?
There are some criteria laid out in the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq (now with Retsyn!)
Victory in Iraq is Defined in Stages
• Short term, Iraq is making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones,
building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces.
• Medium term, Iraq is in the lead defeating terrorists and providing its own security, with a fully
constitutional government in place, and on its way to achieving its economic potential.
• Longer term, Iraq is peaceful, united, stable, and secure, well integrated into the international
community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism.
Now we know why they keep saying “progress” — to fulfill their own prophecy. But since our men and women are being killed at an increasing rate, can anyone rationally say that the violence is decreasing? As for standing up security forces, the Iraqi army has zero battalions battle-ready. That’s one less than they had a year ago.
They did have elections and a constitution, I’ll give them that. Unfortunately, a majority of Iraqi voters want Shariya law. Oops.
So in the administration’s own terms, they are not making progress. And it’s not the media’s fault that people can see it. You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows…
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:20 pmMSM = catapult!
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:21 pmThe lady’s opening comment is a bit unclear to me. Is her church praying for Bush or to Bush?
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:25 pmC’mon folks, we had the little Laura Ingram thing yesterday. Let’s not go back.
What is up with the trolls? We’re getting it from all sides now. I guess the righties weren’t happy they didn’t piss us off enough so someone linked over to some rabid european or middle eastern blogs to get a rant out of them too.
Thankfully, most of you fine, good & true Americans didn’t take the bait. I wish you would teach me how to do that. I’m still a beginner on that topic. Not zen enough.
So, good job people. Bushco is goin’ down, and it won’t be pretty. You think the foaming at the mouth reichtwingnutz are rabid now? Wait’ll they see how they get their clocks cleaned come November. Then they will truly become certifiable.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:26 pmThe trolls shouldn’t forget that there’s that new Iraqi sitcom! That’s progress!
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:31 pmThe coordinator for that sitcom was assassinated.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:34 pmShe concluded that, if people knew the truth, they’d “never say another negative thing about this conflict again.†She recieved a standing ovation.
Why oh why did AQ have to crash those planes into the WTC and Pentagon? If terrorists would blow themselves up wiping out this witless filth it’d be two birds with one stone. The world would be a better place.
Wait, am I starting to think like Bush? How would I know?
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:35 pm.
i thought cnn’s coverage of iraq or the GWOT was always the same stock footage of millitary going through training manuvers (they are always kicking in the same door of a “bunker” with a cardboard cutout inside) the place i find real coverage is bareknucklepolitics.com and most posters there take an avid NeoCon stance usually joking at the coverage
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:36 pmBush thinks he is right because he has never Set Upon the Road…
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:39 pmHas that woman actually been in Iraq? How does she know the reports are incorrect?
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:41 pmbareknucklepolitics.com? Why not read Instacracker and Whatever Mr. Malkin told me to Write Today and you’ll save the clickthrough. Same crap, different page.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:45 pm.
#55, Grand Moff Texan, you wrote “Wait, am I starting to think like Bush? How would I know?”
Huh huh huh. You put “think” and “Bush” in the same sentence. :D
This is an excellent existential question, of course. It reminds me of Chuang Tzu’s question regarding his dream where he was a butterfly. Except that a butterfly would be intellectually (and morally, and aesthetically) superior to Dumbya.

The MSM has changed their focus from one where they counted every military death as it rung up to a significant number to where they are now proclaiming a civil war is underway. The reason for this is that the number of casualties has been dropping each month since October and that is not good for their agenda. IF IRAQ TRULY WERE IN A STATE OF CIVIL WAR, DON’T YOU THINK THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WOULD BE GOING UP? Now who are you going to believe?
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:46 pmIraq Vet, your “Now who are you going to believe?”
Probably that other Iraq Vet I heard speak - he seemed to actually have a clue.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:48 pmIF IRAQ TRULY WERE IN A STATE OF CIVIL WAR, DON’T YOU THINK THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WOULD BE GOING UP?
Somone wanna tell our dumbass phony vet troll what the “civil” means in “civil war”? I haven’t seen a bushtard this dumb since, oh, last week.
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:54 pm.
Face it,the wrong leader is on trial.George is responsible for around 200,000 deaths.How can any americans be that stupid to still like the killer of kids,women.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:01 pmThe Emperor looks like he could be shilling for George Forman’s Grill.
These staged events are no different than those Hitler led during the 1930’s. Republikans need to brush up on their history. Perhaps it’d do them good to review what we did to Hitler’s stooges after the fighting stopped.
ITMFA now!
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:07 pmAnother “corporate logo” cheerleading banner on the wall behind Dubious…….
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:08 pmIs the word “Plan” being used as a verb? To my observation it’s not possibly being used as a noun…..
#63
So if I understand your method of thinking, if an Iraqi were to go back in time during the American Civil War, he would be just as safe as an American in Iraq today because only Yanks and Rebels were the ones getting killed? Do you see just how stupid this logic is? Again, I ask, why would the voter turnout have increased in Iraq for each election last year? Why bother risking your life to vote? Why wait this long for civil war? See, its just not true.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:09 pm#61 You do understand that you sound just like Rush the druggie, don’t you? I just don’t want you to think that you sound sane. I want you to see what most of America sees and that Bush is a user and a liar. You are a tool.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:10 pmAn added bonus - here is a good analogy for the insurgeants in Iraq, they are like the KKK in the south after the civil war, just causing general havor with no real power.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:11 pmPOOR little whiny Judd. The President is hitting back and that’s not fair. He should allow liberals in the media to destroy the effort and embolden Al Quaeda and sit silent.
Judd - you’re a liar. Have you ever taken Democrats to task for all the lies they propogated about Hussein. NO. So deal with the President hitting back. It only gets worse from here.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:11 pm#67 Go back in time? You are clearly out of your mind coming up with crazy hypotheticals that make little, if any, sense. Are you on drugs?
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:12 pm#67 - Phony Vet Troll, your attempt at logic is flawed.
Please read http://www.riverbendblog.blogspot.com/
It has been three years since the beginning of the war that marked the end of Iraq’s independence. Three years of occupation and bloodshed.
Spring should be about renewal and rebirth. For Iraqis, spring has been about reliving painful memories and preparing for future disasters. In many ways, this year is like 2003 prior to the war when we were stocking up on fuel, water, food and first aid supplies and medications. We’re doing it again this year but now we don’t discuss what we’re stocking up for. Bombs and B-52’s are so much easier to face than other possibilities.
I don’t think anyone imagined three years ago that things could be quite this bad today. The last few weeks have been ridden with tension. I’m so tired of it all- we’re all tired.
Three years and the electricity is worse than ever. The security situation has gone from bad to worse. The country feels like it’s on the brink of chaos once more- but a pre-planned, pre-fabricated chaos being led by religious militias and zealots…
What part of this don’t you understand as civil war?
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:12 pm[…] Think Progress - Welcome To Townhall World: Where The Media Is Always Wrong And Bush Is Always Right […]
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:14 pm“POOR little whiny Judd. The President is hitting back and that’s not fair. HHIAH”
You and Bush both ‘hit like a girl’. After all, if you were a REAL american, you’d know that attacking Iraq ‘emboldened Al Queda’ and its supporters. But being that your head is someplace dark and smelly, you’re too foolish to realize it. But then again Reichwing Nazis like yourself have always opposed the free press, and used ’security’ as the guise to propagate fascism. Too bad for you that only about 30% of americans are truly stupid enough to believe your crap.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:15 pmPoor whiny trolls. This is on their watch, not the Dems.
Yet they act like the Dems have some responsibility in this. They do, but not in ways the trolls will ever believe. The Dem’s responsibility is to STOP this Madness, not further it like OberGruppenFuherer Bush is doing.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:17 pm“IF IRAQ TRULY WERE IN A STATE OF CIVIL WAR, DON’T YOU THINK THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WOULD BE GOING UP? Iraq Vet ”
Who’s deaths are you referring to idiot? If it’s a CIVIL war, they’re killing each other - and oh wait - the US doesn’t track the deaths of Iraqis. Too bad for you, that the Iraqis do. There were 1300 deaths in reprisal killins the 4 days after the Mosque explosion. That sounds pretty much like a civil war to me. But then again, I’m not a propagandist like yourself.
And as for your little ‘tirade’ on the voting, perhaps its because each of the groups now in a civil war were scared to crap that the other groups would defeat them in the elections and persecute them. And their votes were less of an act of hope, than one of fear. That hadn’t dawned on you had it ’smart guy’?
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:18 pmBush was so goofy today > he even laughed about Iraq, so what medication is he on? They gave him too many meds today and it showed! His staged audience did not notice anything, because they are all on prozac > lol. I wonder if they would all clap if he stripped naked?

March 22nd, 2006 at 4:19 pmSo what is your plan Ryan? Do you plan to appease Al Qaeda? In just what country were you thinking about signing that peace treaty?
Bush is televised at a Town Hall meeting in West Virginia, where he asks an 8-year-old boy in the audience to join him on stage. Suddenly, Bush strangles the kid to death with his bare hands, pulls apart the corpse, and begins feasting on the child’s body.

#78 - So what is your plan Ryan? Do you plan to appease Al Qaeda? In just what country were you thinking about signing that peace treaty?
You f***ing fool! Don’t you know, it’s YOUR plan that got us into this mess in the first place.
If you were as big as person as you think you are, you’d do something to clean up the mess you created. You wouldn’t be whiny about someone else’s supposed lack of action.
This is on YOUR watch. YOU need to come up with better ideas and to fix this thing. It’s broken and YOU did it.
ITMFA now!
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:22 pmHere’s your problem:
You are a f*cking idiot! Give America more credit than that. The problem you and other liberal have is that after all of these years, you are still trying to defeat Bush. You had your chance and you lost. Accept it. No moderate, there is no such animal by the way, will be willing to vote for a democratic candidate in ‘08 unless you can create a reason for him or her to. Hating Bush will not win any votes. It didn’t in ‘04 and won’t in ‘08.
Thanks for the honest discourse.
And the profane insult.
You completely missed my point, not that I’m really surprised, Iraq Vet. My point is that these Town Hall meetings are pre-screened with only Bush supporters. So he gets softball questions and people like you slobbering all over his shoes.
When you put Bush infront of a group of people who don’t worship the ground he walks on, he gets tough questions that he can’t answer. And then he gets mad at the person for asking it. Instead of himself for not being able to answer it.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:23 pmHere we have this woman, who openly admits that her husband is a “broadcast journalist” in the military, and we already know that the Pentagon has been using “propaganda” to influence people’s perceptions of what is happening in the WOT. So it’s not much of a stretch to view her as a “plant” in the crowd. And, if you will note the relaxed posture of GWB, he appears to be confident of his ability to “answer the question”. And why not? He already knew what she was going to say. But for fairness, I wonder would they be willing to show the video footage from Abu Ghraib (sp) along with her “happy happy, joy joy” footage, and let the people decide the truth for themselves? I am thinking not
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:24 pmYou gotta give George Bush an even break. He’s the one who is the president. He has a tough job to do; he has a war to fight. It’s more than most people can handle. Let him do his job. Glad I don’t have to do what he does.
What do you want him to do? Apologize to the world for all that has gone wrong under his watch? You got to soften the thick skulls of those liberal goofnuts out there in murka. They never seem to learn, always complaining, never satisfied, think everything about the Bush Cabal is really bad, blah, blah, blah. They’re in every crowd, some kooky, crackpot liberal spoutin’ off stuff they refer to as the ‘truth.’ Jeesh, they are a pain in the arse sometimes. Propaganda has to look good, not bad.
He can have the war and all of the ‘good’ about it.
How many are there? 750 plus military bases strewn throughout the world with 400,000 enlisted personnel stationed at them? Something like that. It’s a big job, an empire. You will need ‘bread and circus’ in zie homeland.
George is doing a heckuva job… he’s spiraling the world into out of control chaos. Does he deserve any credit for what has taken place since 9/11/2001 CE? He sure has tons of blame heaped upon his head for all that has gone wrong. I won’t judge him too harshly hear on earth. Up there in Heaven, God’s waitin’ to pass judgment on him some day.
World economic markets crash towards the end of the summer, the world plunges itself into massive full-scale war by the end of September? One of the predictions out there in cyberworld. Ain’t nothin’ anybody can do about it.
Long Live George Bush
He can witness what has been wrought.

Wait. That was Bush.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:25 pmWELCOME TO TOWNHALL WORLD -
where the Chimp and his Fourth Reich will protect you from the real world when the truth is too much to bear. Where good news is rare but you don’t mind hearing the same ol’ shit again and again and again. Where TV makes you relate to people who
lives you will know but will never meet and be friends with. Where Pat Robertson can be a man of God but wants to damn to hell independent thinking small towns, gays, minorities, women and GOSH, GEE WHILLIKERS! The greatest threat of all, COLLEGE PROFESSORS! Yes these heathens who get paid less than the esteemed man of God to violate your mind by filling it with intelligence, truth, humanity, and thoughts of
compassion and charity. Where followers of the Chimp King will watch reality TV and yet criticise Olbermann, David Gregory, Helen Thomas and other enemies of the Chimp God Democracy. Where Domino’s Pizza is allowed and every pizza parlor is banned for not being Dominos.
Remember if you believe in a democracy for every company except here, Townhall World is for you. Trolls will be accepted with an Eric Cartman alien anal probe for free.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:26 pmIF IRAQ TRULY WERE IN A STATE OF CIVIL WAR, DON’T YOU THINK THE NUMBER OF DEATHS WOULD BE GOING UP?
Ummmm… they are. Daily. Heck, almost hourly at this point.

Anyway, if you haven’t already been there, I have MoDo’s newest up to tide ya’ll over until I can whip up my next original post, which will be a cut above even what I do.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:37 pmI THINK IT ALSO GIVES BUSH A FALSE IMPRESSION OF PEOPLE’S VIEW OF THE WAR.
HIS AIDES KEEP HIM DELUSIONAL AND HE PREFERS IT THAT WAY.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:39 pmALL HAIL THE MAXIMUM LEADER.
HOW CAN YOU DENY HIS GREAT WISDOM?
IT IS RIGHT TO PRAISE THE MAXIMUM LEADER.
ALL THOSE WHO DENY HIM ARE ENEMIES OF THE STATE.
(REPEAT)
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:41 pmOkay, stealing the idea from another website:
Let’s start listing questions that Bush should expect to hear from his next Town Hall meeting.
Here are a few to get you started:
“Mr. President, were you born awesome, or did you have to practice?”
“Mr. President, some say that we should pull down our pants and let the terrorists use our bare buttocks for target practice. Do you agree?”
“Mr. President, when you next talk to God, can you tell him that Shirleen’s psoriasis is acting up again?”
“Mr. President, your wife is just beautiful, I mean really beautiful. And you have such beautiful daughters. And your mom and dad are just so great, and I love your brother Jeb, he’s great too. Thanks.”
“Mr. President, why do liberals hate America? Feel free to name names.”
Anyone else have any softball questions for GW from his adoring base?
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:41 pm#69 when the Shiites and Sunnis stopped trying to kill US Troops and started to kill each other that is when the civil war started. Two factions within the same country fighting for control.
#78 you can choose to ignore the commanders on the ground, but I can’t nearly every time I have heard them speak they always say that there are very few foreigner fighting in Iraq and that the brunt of the fighting is being done by Iraqi’s. I think by staying in Iraq we are appeasing Al Queda because they can sit back and watch our treasury drain its self knowing that the administration knew a Civil war (Army war college analysis) was probable.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:43 pmI guess the talk with Helen Thomas, a real journalist, must have traumatised the poor little Chimp King. So to get his so-called confidence (actually, arrogance) up, he has to rely on hand-picked Bush slaves, I mean soldiers and script everything on how well the War is going to blaming the media for struggling to tell the truth and bowing down to the Chimp King using the Constitution as toilet paper.
Townhall Hellworld is what I would call it.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:44 pm#93 Personally, I don’t care much about Arnold Palmer, but please, I don’t even want to think about an Ann Coulter poster. Even if it was a poster I do not want that Nazi Cowpig in my bedroom, even if she was posing suggestively. ICK!
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:48 pm#79 That was really good.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:50 pmAren’t you glad the script readers at his town hall meetings are not as bad at reading their scripts as Bush is.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:55 pmThe Stagecraft Presidency.

March 22nd, 2006 at 5:11 pmIt’s amazing there are individuals who are willing to be used as puppets to sell propaganda. I wonder what would be like if we do lose U.S. to some form of dictator/police state. Would the individuals still can show their faces proudly to their friends and neighbors? Can they even show now? Or is Wheeling, WV made up of puppets?
March 22nd, 2006 at 5:14 pmCan someone please explain how the media is responsible for the poor planning of the Iraq Adventure? Or how the Media is responsible for Shittes and Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq hating each other? Especially since they have hated each other for years? Can some also explain exactly how many car bombs the media has exploded in iraq simply to create bad news?

Yes ma’am… but I’m convinced that the reason we are all in here, including the trolls, is that we are the only ones who actually care.
I realized this today in one of my classes as another 15 year old whined and blamed and gave every excuse at to why her not understanding the material we’d been studying for the last three weeks was wholly my fault and zero her responsiblity. People in our culture have grown mentally fat and lazy, with a few exceptions. Until they find themselves unable to afford to drive to the mall to charge the latest trend on their over-the-limit credit card, I think they will continue to look the other way and nothing will change.
March 22nd, 2006 at 5:20 pm#12 Right on! If and when Bush is tried and convicted for his war crimes, I hope that I’m the one who puts the noose around his neck on the gallows.

Everyone wants to be a Superstar, but very few understand how to earn it - or even that they have to earn it. They just want it handed to them at the expense of others, and feel no pity or remorse for those who they stepped upon to get ahead. They wanted their 15 minutes of fame, and were willing to lie, steal, beg or brown-nose to get it…
March 22nd, 2006 at 5:26 pmMarch 22nd, 2006 at 5:34 pm
So for many people 15 minutes of fame is more important their actual day to day lives and their future?!? Just because they filled out “Republican” on their voter registration, they think Republican party in charge will help better their lives and lives of their future generations? Republican party who is responsible for out of control budget deficit and these “proud” Republicans don’t seem to care because they don’t feel it will be their responsibility. And they don’t care about their children or their grandchildren. They must be thinking that they will get to benefit from all these tax saving, estate tax saving, oil renvenue and government contracts to rebuild the world and will be multi-millionaires……and just because they are “proud” and true Republicans.

March 22nd, 2006 at 8:00 pmMost ridiculous story of the day: Right now on LCL
Everybody at that phony Bush event today was hand picked to attend by Karl Rove! They are all below average in intelligence and all fat frumpy people that have nothing in their lives! Most of them are lucky if they even get missionary position sex > lol. The ultimate highlight of their worthless lives is seeing Dubya dunce wave his hand at them or give them a goofy grin! They are the bottom of the barrel people!
March 22nd, 2006 at 8:00 pmThe ‘broadcast journalist’s’ wife could have least said the website where one might get a copy of this DVD of wonderful Iraq stories…..it would be interesting since it might help to counter-act the story of Iraqi hospitals worse off now then when Saddam was in power. The reason being the Iraqi oil money held in trust by the United States was treated like “football bricks”, corrupted and stolen by contractors and anyone else that could manage to get their greedy hands on it.
Why doesn’t the government broadcast this military ‘broadcast journalist’ good findings on their Arab tv station that American taxpayers pay for and that no one watches, because of the propaganda?
March 22nd, 2006 at 8:47 pmI wondered why, if this was a military broadcast the administration hasn’t used it. Who was the nameless woman? Another plant by Bush or local Republicans? Does this administration really think the Amrican people are so stupid?
March 22nd, 2006 at 9:45 pmIt’s the Nuremberg rallies all over again.
At least Hitler was renowned for his public speaking. Whereas George W. Bush is renowned for not being able to put a coherent sentence together.
Please remind me again, how the hell did he aver become President?
Has anyone ever seen such a partisan audience? Maybe they all received an ‘I kissed George W. Bush’s arse’ bumper sticker for turning up, and doing their right-wing duty.
March 22nd, 2006 at 10:02 pmAs I stated yesterday….
I hope that Bush keeps talking at press conferences and public events every day for the remainder of his presidency. I won’t be listening, but those that do will inevitably become sicker and sicker of the boring idiocy and lunacy of his reasoning until any thinking person will turn against him. Even those with a stitch of rationality will tire of having his/her nose pushed into the dog doo daily.
Bush is not drumming up support; just awareness and disgust over his fixations. Out of the revulsion, perhaps there can come some honest discourse on approriate actions to take globally to reduce hatred and terrorism.
Unwittingly, I think that his pure stubborn, ignorant approach cannot but help opposition in this country. Everyone is fed up with the ignorance of the neocon approach.
We are now too bored, too disgusted to answer the war drums.
Unless, they can make us afraid (again?)…it is over. They have lost. The humble and peaceful will rise again.
March 22nd, 2006 at 10:07 pm#23, Whoa, who is the fucking idiot?

March 23rd, 2006 at 12:15 amPacking the audience has got to be hard work. Gone of the days when they could fill an auditorium in a few hours. I bet they have to start a week in advance. Security screening must be tough too. Can’t have anyone going off script in one of these ptomekin events.
I was amazed that Bush would repeat such a bald-faced lie about Saddam not cooperating, so we had to invade. Seems to me that Bush is entitled to his his own propaganda, but he’s doesn’t own the franchise that allows him to revise the historical record. Kind of bad for him, though…..pretty incriminating evidence for the war crimes trial that we’ll need to have as a precondition for us to return to the world community.
March 23rd, 2006 at 12:57 amDon’t any of you stupid assholes understand? George W. Bush’s ultimate goal wasn’t just to starve the beast and polarize the Radical Right’s base. His role in the Reich-Wing conspiracy was more than that. Much more. All of you are so shallow that you cannot see that George W. Bush accomplished his real mission and that mission was to destroy trust in government. Conservative Republicans depend on massive public distrust torward government. Otherwise, they could never have real political success. During the 1980’s, Ronald Reagan discribed himself as being anit-government, yet the American people’s esteme torward government improved during his administation. Bush on the other hand, did not make that same mistake. Bush has destroyed trust in government for decades to come. Trust in government is the root civil patriotism, and civil patriotism is the strongest quality of Liberalism. Bush’s presidency has not only damaged his Conservative freinds in congress, but has also damaged the expectations for Liberals for the next 50 years. Think about it!
March 23rd, 2006 at 2:39 am#7
The Media/Press is being paid to promote Bush and his war of LIES! The event today was staged for Dubya by Karl Rove to try to get Americans to believe in Bush fantasy, but only the Bush lovers will be swayed to remain supporting him! They are in a coma > PERIOD.
I agree, now tell me where the plug to the ventilator is, will ya????
March 23rd, 2006 at 8:44 am#142. BTW: Don’t you think “stupid assholes” is a bit severe?
March 23rd, 2006 at 8:47 am#142
I disagree.
March 23rd, 2006 at 9:06 amMy 13yo turned to me one day and said all proudly, that he has st4opped standing and saying the pledge of allegiance in school. I said why, and he replied that it is his little demonstration against the traitor-in-chief.
I then fervently told him that the pledge is to the country and not to its leader, and one takeas the oath to support the Constitution. So, I asked him if he believes in the Constitution, he said yes, so I then said that the true problem is people think that supporting THEIR government, they are ipso-facto supporting the Administration. He understood the difference and would think about his actions.
I think our generation is fucked. We should skin and hang Grover Norquist for bringing the moronic notion of shrinking government until it fits in bathtub and then drowning it notion. That is traitorous to the very core of this liberal government that was founded on Liberal ideals and principles. For these traitors, (use the word fluidly people, also use Nazi, they HATE gw being compared to Hitler, HATE it) to think that their myopic view of what a government should be, is in any way shape manner or form an American view is beyond the rationale.
Get your guns, pitchforks and ropes people. This is not over until all the traitors hang.
I could care less about the Reichwing pundits like IRI, the true traitors are the RUsh’s the cunters and Oliellys who need to be dispoed of just like Norwuist states.
This is going to get much more uglier before we are able to regain our Consitutional Government.
“Give me Liberty or Give me Death.”

I liked one scene in the “Kingdom of Heaven” movie > the crazy new King of Jerusalem rides off with his knights to slaughter the Saracen Muslims, but instead he is captured and his entire army slain! King Bush and his toady group of followers need to fly off to Arabia to kill Muslims > they will all be slain and good riddence to them! Our nation can then get back to normalcy!

Comment by Matthew J. Price #142
Matthew,
Bushiva’s reign has accomplished many things…
…chief among them is the transfer of wealth from the US treasury to the pockets of his and his family’s cronies…
…as for trust in the government…
…once Bushiva and the Republiscum are booted out of office, thoroughly investigated (using their Patriot Act), prosecuted for their crimes and justice meted out to them…
…confidence in the government will be easily restored…
…in other words, it’s the criminal Bushite junta (and the right wing Republiscum controlled House and Senate) that the people no longer have CONFIDENCE in…
March 23rd, 2006 at 10:10 amYou should have seen the bozo Hugh Hewitt on CNN this morning, talking about how all the real people (read: “Dubya’s chosen sycophantic crowd in WVA”) are disgusted with hows the MSM is so liberal and putting out all these lies about how bad things are in Iraq. Induces projectile emesis, Hugh does….

March 23rd, 2006 at 11:05 amWhen you put Bush infront of a group of people who don’t worship the ground he walks on, he gets tough questions that he can’t answer.
Dubya ain’t allowed to walk on the ground. They had to build a special boardwalk for him one place he visited (and tear it down afterwards) so he wouldn’t get his little tootsies dirty…..
It’s all about image. Perception is important.

Bush’s actions and words this week are beneath contempt. Nothing he said is remotely true. He’s a criminal.
