Snow on Bush Stem Cell Veto: ‘The Simple Answer Is He Thinks Murder Is Wrong’
Snow on Bush Stem Cell Veto: ‘The Simple Answer Is He Thinks Murder Is Wrong’
The Senate is expected to vote overwhelming this afternoon to expand embryonic stem cell research. The bill would allow federal funding for research that “could lead to treatments that save millions of lives and improve the quality-of-life for millions more.†President Bush has vowed to veto the bill.
Today, a reporter asked Press Secretary Tony Snow why Bush opposed the bill. Snow responded, “The simple answer is he thinks murder is wrong.” Watch it:
An embryo is not a baby or even a fetus; it’s a cluster of about 150 cells, also known as a blastocyst, which forms a few days after the joining of a sperm and egg, and is no larger than the period at the end of this sentence.
In any event, the embryos at issue are currently being discarded.
Transcript:
QUESTION: Can you remind us why the president believes that it is not appropriate to use — that it would be more appropriate for stem cells to be thrown away than to be used in this case for medical research?
SNOW: I don’t think that’s the choice that the president is presented. What the president has said is that he doesn’t want human life destroyed.
Now, you may consider that insignificant. But the president has said. And you have had in a number of cases the snowflake babies where some of those fetuses have in fact been brought to term and have become human beings. The president believes strongly that for the purpose of research it’s inappropriate for the federal government to finance something that many people consider murder. He’s one of them.
Furthermore, it is worth pointing out that this government did make available already existing lines — to get back to your question — there were existing lines. The most recent figures we have are 2004. But 85 percent of all the embryonic stem cell research on Earth was conducted using those lines.
There is nothing that makes embryonic stem cell research illegal. It simply says that the federal government will not finance it.
As you know, there are ongoing efforts in some states, including, I think, California and Massachusetts, to use state money for it. And I dare say if people think that there’s a market for it, they’re going to support it handsomely.
The simple answer is he thinks murder’s wrong. And he has said.

GW Botch is concerned about murder?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:06 pmSo this means that the president believes that all the fertility clinics should be outlawed also since they always produce more blastocysts than are used. These extra ones are then discar…..excuse me…..murdered. So Bushie is against this too, right? Why don’t these press morons ask these questions?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:07 pmWTF – so what is he doing in Iraq? Oh yeah, he’s freeing them…through murder.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:07 pmAn embryo isn’t a baby? You mean that the drawing showed isn’t accurate? That damned little girl and her smiling blastocysts!
July 18th, 2006 at 4:08 pmGreat logic, Tony. Next time you jerk off, remember the thousands of babies you are killing, by not adopting your sperm.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:08 pmI thought these fools were evil, but maybe they are just plain stoo-pid.
Stem cell research has NOTHING to do with murder, ANSWER THE QUESTION, Tony Blow!
July 18th, 2006 at 4:10 pmThen he ought to get onto Israel and have them stop blowing up civilians. Cause you know, thats like murder too …. or is it only clusters of cells?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:10 pmIf Bush really believed that murder is wrong, then why are we still in Iraq killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, and why hasn’t he gone to a single funeral of a dead US serviceman killed because of his bungled invasion?
The only thing I think Bush actually believes in is money, at any cost, no death count of lives lost too high to satisfy his greed and the greed of his friends, family, and corporate donors.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:10 pmThe Bush twins and Laura need to have thier wombs packed with these “lives” to prevent their “murder”. It’s the least they could do. Each one could handle a litter of six to eight thereby preventing the destruction of these embryos. As matter of fact every anti abortion female between 15 and 50 could be packed with embryos and once they give birth provide the loving home that only they can provide. Don’t hold your breath waiting.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:12 pmWhat an ass, that Snow!!! The simple answer is, we have an idiot in power who thinks of simple answers to complex problems.
Worst president ever!!!
July 18th, 2006 at 4:13 pmDoes Bush’s ignorance know no bounds?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:14 pm- diet:
Exactly. How is flushing an embryo down the drain any less ‘murder’ than utilizing them to help the lives of others???
If Bush isn’t a hypocrite, he’ll shut down all fertility clinics, since he can’t support ‘murder’.
Of course, Tony’s saying that there is nothing that makes embryonic stem cell research illegal…just that the federal government will not finance it.
So, apparently, murder is legal, but isn’t federally supported?
This ‘argument’ is so full of holes it’s a joke, but supporters don’t care about the holes…they only care about the raw, naked appeal to their base emotions.

July 18th, 2006 at 4:17 pmSo what’s the Democratic position on these thingamabobs?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:17 pmhttp://www.backwardsbush.com/?gclid=CKuBtquNnIYCFT1uFQod_0Wmzw
July 18th, 2006 at 4:17 pmWell, in true administration form, the answer is obvious. All custodial crew in fertility clinics who are responsible for taking out the garbage should be hauled in and brought up on murder charges. We need some Lyndee England justice, and we need it now. I’m sure if you made a microphone small enough it would be able to record the screaming of the discarded blastocysts as they are expunged from their petri dishes.
Holy shit, these guys are genuinely idiots. “Murder is wrong.” I guess coming off as fools is preferable to them than having to pay a real political price if they really did move forward with plans to outlaw abortion. Much better to fleck spittle over phony ethical conundrums. Is it time for Tony’s next raise yet?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:18 pmMr Blifil,
The righties are saying that just because they’re going into the garbage does not make it acceptable to use them for personal gain.
I don’t find that position to be irrational. Some would find it outright appealling. Either way, I still don’t know the official position of the Democrats on this issue. Do you think it’s on a website somewhere?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:25 pmI am so sick of Snow and Bush and the whole lot of lying self rightious bastards.
They are traitors all.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:25 pmSo Bush and Snow both believe in Rapists Rights. That a Rapist has a right to rape a woman and force her to carry his baby to term. That’s really rich. Women become baby factories for any man desperate or sick enough to force himself on a woman – and she should have no choice but to forcibly bear the child?
These reichwing nazis are a bunch of sick freaks.
Sanctity of life my a$$. More like sanctity of sick freaks who don’t respect the lives, health or rights of anyone but themselves and their perverted impulses. Maybe Bush wants to give an inappropriate public back rub to all of those rape victims, just like he did to the Chancelor of Germany. Yelch! These are gross and sick people.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:27 pmgwb is an unintelligent man without positive principles to guide his life. He is following the rove plan to energize the ultra right religious base who, it is hoped, will disregard the many economic problems they are experiencing and vote repub based on this issue only. Why are we surprised or angry? This tactic got the repubs elected in the first place and regardless of the multiple failures of bushco, the base is still supporting gwb.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:30 pmWe need more graveyards.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but most state laws say it is illegal to flush human remains down the toilet. Or thown away in the trash. I for one insist that all those miscarriages be dealt with properly. With life beginning at conception, its about time we started recognizing the poor blastocysts that go unnamed and unburied, most just flushed down the toilet by their mothers without the benefit of a legal funeral, burial plot, and headstone.
And the unborn: what of the more advanced fertilized eggs being frozen for some future purpose in some vitro lab? They deserve the chance to be carried to term instead of being destroyed after five or ten years of being frozen. At the least, we should allow all fertile eggs and embryos to become the children they are capable of.
I mean, embryoes are people too.
And you know what else? My heart just breaks when I think of all those thousands of little sperm-beings swimming their little tails off trying to reach that little egg waiting so patiently for just one to get there. So many denied the right to exist, to fertilize an egg and to develope into a human being. How many millions die every year because our laws won’t protect the unborn?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:30 pmBush: Murder of a group of cells is wrong, but genocyde of an entire population of humans is okay. Karl told me so.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:30 pmBush is using religion to get elected again ( to obvious that one)
July 18th, 2006 at 4:31 pmBush is the biggest killer on the planet (ironic)
You’ve really deteriorated, Ryan. Along with mighty.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:31 pmThere are people voting for Ralph Reed this very moment because he’s Christian. Nothing you can do about it.
You have the wherewithall to affect positive change for the Democratic party with your command of language.
Bush is the second biggest killer on the planet after mosquitoes
July 18th, 2006 at 4:33 pmMr Blifil,
The righties are saying that just because they’re going into the garbage does not make it acceptable to use them for personal gain.
I don’t find that position to be irrational. Some would find it outright appealling. Either way, I still don’t know the official position of the Democrats on this issue. Do you think it’s on a website somewhere?
How is curing diseases and helping those that have delibitating illness “personal gain” ? And you are right it is “appealling” to many.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:33 pmOh, I see – and those who advocate stem cell research are pro-murder. It’s so clear now, Mr. Snow.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:33 pmThey constantly characterize any and all matters in their own framwork and shamefully, it is accepted by reporters as such.
Well of Bush thinks murder is wrong, then why doesn’t he:
1. Stop killing Iraqis
2. Tell Israel to stop killing lebanese civilians.
culture of life my ass.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:34 pm#17. Ed Schultz, of course it’s irrational. The point is that neither one is murder, or both are murder.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:34 pmSo why do we kill so many Brown people, and why did Bushie kill all those kids and retards in TX prisons?
Every life is sacred. Right?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:36 pm#30, sementic,
We “kill so many brown people, kids and retards” because justice is blind to color, age and mental capacity, and only reflects the crime and its severity.
Yes, EVERY life IS sacred, UNTIL that individual forfeits his life do to his/her actions. That is why someone can comfortably be against abortion and for the death penalty simultaneously – get it yet?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:40 pmGotta love that ‘Culture of Life’… I look forward to the legislation proposed by this administration requiring all blastocysts to always become viable fetuses.
Perhaps this will solve that military recruitment issue, also.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:43 pmBush’s 2006 base-baiting, red meat strategy could well backfire when it comes to stem cell research. Unlike other aspects of the “fags, flags and fetuses” program contained in the Republicans’ so called “American Values Agenda,” stem cell research bans don’t enjoy much support among either the conservative chattering classes or Americans overall.
For more on why Bush’s veto could be just what the doctor ordered for Democrats, see:
July 18th, 2006 at 4:44 pm“Bush Stem Cell Veto Threat is Dems’ Opportunity.”
This is just beyond the pale. Why then isn’t the Chief Executive of the United States throwing thousands of scientists and OB Gyn’s in jail? Lazy?
I can’t stomach these impostors anymore.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:44 pmJason,
Even if the capital-punishment argument holds water, how do you square the President’s ’sanctity of life’ with the little fact that the continuing train-wreck that is Iraq has claimed, to date, between 39,123 and 43,575 civilian casualties?
And remember….these are real people…not undifferentiated clumps of cells.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:45 pmAnon1,
I tend to shape my arguments around my own children. I am pro choice, but I really don’t know very much about stem cell research. I certainly can’t vouch for it’s ethics. But I do know this:
Politicians and the FDA are lying pieces of garbage. So are the drug-pushing Pharma and Medical communities that REALLY want this.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:46 pmLet’s not beat around the bush with this BS. This is really about Bush protecting his buddies at the established giant pharmaceutical industry. Big brother Pharma only makes money buy selling medicine to the sick and it is not in their financial interest to cure ANY disease. If they allowed stem cell research to prosper into cures then they’ll lose their sick and dieing customers who would otherwise have to continue to pay whatever price it takes to get their medicine to feel better, get better, but never cured. Therefore, in reality, Bush promotes keeping working Americans sick because it benefits the pharmaceutical industry to do so.
Bush is Anti-working class American.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:49 pmUNTIL that individual forfeits his life due to his/her actions.
Just like those innocent men women and children whom ‘forfeited’ [murdered] their life for Bush’s Freedom Operation?
You just go on being comfortable Mr Hendler because when you try to pass thru the pearly gates of heaven you will fall thru the trap door in the floor into my realm.
I’ll “Catch” you later Jason
July 18th, 2006 at 4:50 pmBuford:
Don’t give them any ideas! I can se it now…all surplus embryos from fertility clinics will be rushed to a government facility, where female prisoners will be forced to carry them to term as part of their sentence. As soon as they’re born, they are whisked off to be indoctrinated into the new warrior class…bred from birth to be obeident, efficient killers, to know no parents, save the State, and to have no allegiances to anyone but the State.
Sure, it’s a bit dystopian and Orwellian, but I work with what they give me…
July 18th, 2006 at 4:50 pmWhen did the neo-republicans start using “SNOWFLAKE” in the stem cell debate? 1st Brownback, now Bush/Snow. I guess now I am a snowflake killer. I am inhuman.
July 18th, 2006 at 4:50 pmI appluad Bush for holding life sacred above murder. I also expect him to tell iraq’s that the show trial of saddam will not have a death penalty and Bush will not allow it, period. After all, being for the death penalty is government sanctioned murder. Right bush? You wanna tell the iraq’s that are going through hell that the one of the few vindications is that saddam will not be executed? (Because everyone knows hes guilty, your just show casing him for PR).
July 18th, 2006 at 4:50 pmDid Babs drop GWB on his head when he was a baby? For that matter, did Mrs. Snow?
July 18th, 2006 at 4:58 pmI appluad Bush for holding murder sacred above life -JC
JC did it ever occur to you why Saddam, The Guy who did 9/11 thing according to Bush and alot of you goopers, wasn’t and isn’t being put on trial here in the United States for killing almost 3,000 people?
July 18th, 2006 at 5:02 pmOff topic but does this mean the TP is going to have its funding cut?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/16/AR2006071600882.html?nav=rss_politics
July 18th, 2006 at 5:06 pmI really don’t care what the administration thinks on this issue, I don’t support moving this out of the private sector.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:07 pmWe’re going to turn all those embryos into animal-human hybrids. Ha!
July 18th, 2006 at 5:12 pmIt is wrong to call blastocysts embryos. They are a pre-embryonic state. Nature (or God, if you insist) aborts 40 to 50% of the ones that turn into embryos anyway, so by Snow’s way of thinking, God is murdering millions of these “babies” every day.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:12 pmIn any event, it’s hypocritical and moronic because these blastocysts are going to be destroyed anyway. When will one of these koolaid-drinking cultists trolling this board acknowledge that?
July 18th, 2006 at 5:14 pmcmdr101, if you had a child with insulin-dependent diabetes or a parent with early symptoms of alzhiemers, would you still want this research to stay in the private sector, or would you want government to get involved and help?
July 18th, 2006 at 5:19 pmWhat lunacy!! This makes me so upset, Bush is a coward. Hence why he is a born again Christian. I’d like to see where Jesus said no stem cell research or anything about abortion or gays in the Bible. I call BS on this weak minded man. Can we get a president whith some sort of education and common sense.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:23 pmDo you think Nancy Reagan would be putting her rep on the line if this was an issue about murder and human life… doubtfull…
…unless the victims are Iraqis, Lebanese, Syrians, Afghanis, or Iranians…
July 18th, 2006 at 5:24 pm…or Mexicans, Blacks, gays, and poor people in general…
July 18th, 2006 at 5:25 pmIt amazes me
July 18th, 2006 at 5:25 pmBush thinks more about an American Stem cell than a Palestinian
The simple answer is..he is simple.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:38 pm…unless the victims are not white christians
July 18th, 2006 at 5:39 pm…unless the victims don’t believe in JEBUS as their personal savior.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:40 pm…unless the victims are “evil doers”
July 18th, 2006 at 5:41 pm…unless the victims are anyone the neocons don’t like
July 18th, 2006 at 5:42 pm…unless the victims are anyone Israel doesn’t like
July 18th, 2006 at 5:44 pmIf 150 undifferentiated cells qualify for murder, then the Iraq war makes Bush a mass murderer. Shut up, Snowball.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:46 pm#21 – say it aint so, joe.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:52 pmis masturbation murder too? if so then I just wasted money on extended cable….
Since when did the chimp think murder was wrong? How about all the babies and children and other innocents being murdered in Iraq and in LEBANON by his friends, the Isrealis? Can’t have it both ways Snow. And how about the murder of all the troops that are coming back in coffins draped with flags? The ones that Bush murdered by sending them off to fight in an illegal war.
July 18th, 2006 at 5:57 pmRicky Sanitorium stated that these embryos are humans. hummm…
July 18th, 2006 at 5:58 pm#61
yup spanking the monkey is Murder
there should be a constitutional amendment against masturbation, because the president thinks that murder is wrong.
Any one caught masturbating, should be arested, and given 20 year to life.
Infact, there should be a law, banning anyone from staying in the bathroom from more than 10 minutes.
And another law banning lube.
July 18th, 2006 at 6:00 pmMurder is wrong? I disag— oh damn, Tony Snow, you got me again, forcing be into binary logic. Since murder is wrong, if you voted for this bill you are a murderer ( and you’re wrong ).
I think being a warmongering, corporate lacky, and incompetent asshole is wrong.
July 18th, 2006 at 6:01 pmIf W. thinks murder is wrong, just wtf does he thinks he’s doing in Iraq?
July 18th, 2006 at 6:03 pmThis is one of those issues that just baffles me . How could someone be apposed to using cells that are going in the shitcan anyway to save lives .Stupid . Stupid . Stupid . Now excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall .
July 18th, 2006 at 6:21 pmVery bizarre logic. If you kill a cluster of cells, it’s murder. If you kill Iraqis, Afghans, Hezbollah, Syrians, Lebanese, Iranians, or whoever, it’s not. Many right wingnuts are amazingly cavalier when they say that civilian wartime casualties are merely “collateral damage”. With righteous indignation they talk about the “sanctity of life” and yet their words and actions show that they don’t give a shit about life. They are hypocrites to the nth degree.
July 18th, 2006 at 6:21 pmComment by Jason M. Hendler — July 18, 2006 @ 4:40 pm
I get it: DOUBLETHINK!!!
That’s not murder, that’s collateral damage.
Change the word and the act becomes acceptable.
Haven’t you noticed: insane people are always right.
July 18th, 2006 at 6:24 pmIn a modern educated society, Tony Snow’s comment is supposed to pass for reason? When we need to settle scientific debate, do ask the Pope?
July 18th, 2006 at 7:04 pmGeorge Bush is against murder. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!! Hmmmmm… well, then, why is it OK to simply discard the unused embryos? We all know how they feel about abortion but, what birth control pills? In Bozo Bush’s mind that should be murder also. They do not prevent fertilization. They prevent the fertilized egg from adhering to the uterine wall. So what happens to the fertilized egg that doesn’t adhere itself to the uterine wall? It is simply passed unnoticed into a panty liner, tampon or the toilet. Sorry to be blunt ladies but, watch out for Blotto Brain Bush. As far as he’s concerned he just might try to have birth control pills deemed illegal and the lot of you arrested for multiple murders. He is the epitome of embarrassment.
July 18th, 2006 at 7:18 pmI work in a doctor’s office, and two of the nurses there are reichwingnut faithful followers of Dobson et. al. who support the ban on stem-cell research and believe that ALL abortions are wanton murder, but in the same breath cavalierly dismiss innocent Iraqis dead and maimed as “so what?” Exposes the fallacy/hypocrisy of the “christian moral values” doesn’t it?
July 18th, 2006 at 7:25 pmI would consider the term “Christian morality” an oxymoron.
July 18th, 2006 at 7:35 pm73; You’re probably right.
July 18th, 2006 at 7:40 pmDubya Wants to Veto Science
Hmmm.
So Tony Snow says that Bush thinks embryonic stem cell research is akin to murder and therefore disapproves of it.
Where was Bush’s moral high ground when he authorized scores of executions while governor of Texas? Or better yet shrugs his shoulders at all the “collateral” Iraqi civilian damage done under his orders as Commander-in-Chief? Or knowingly not getting involved in Darfur?
Are those murder too?
July 18th, 2006 at 7:43 pm150,000 Dead Iraqi Civilians called, they want their lives back.
It’s murder to use stem cell lines that will eventually deteriote and be useless, but it’s freedom to die in IRAQ for Bush lies.
July 18th, 2006 at 8:23 pmTesting
July 18th, 2006 at 8:28 pmAll Tony sNose said was (dubya) “Doesn’t believe in murder”
July 18th, 2006 at 8:29 pmHe didn’t say directly (dubya) believes smushing blastocytes is murder, he just said he doesn’t believe in murder.
And of course, what Dumbya says doesn’t have to have any relevance to the actions taken……… he and Chainee are accountable for many, many lives lost thru ways and means that are clearly murder…………..
Bush thinks that murder is wrong… what a crock of shit! He could care less about human life… look how he reacts to American soldiers dying in other lands… look at his reaction to death in the Middle East, Iraq, Africa, etc.
Tony Snow is full of shit and so is George W. Bush.
July 18th, 2006 at 8:32 pmTony states “He’s one of them” One of them what? One of them federal gov’t researcher types, or a person who believes smushing cells is murder?
July 18th, 2006 at 8:36 pmHere again the obfuscation of true statement, that all utterances may be denied or implied at a later date………
Thats why Tony got this job………………….
The White House press briefing has become a mockery of the duty of the President to be accountable to the nation. Which is exactly Karl’s intent.
That is why someone can comfortably be against abortion and for the death penalty simultaneously – get it yet?

Well, Jason, as long as you’re comfortable….
July 18th, 2006 at 9:19 pmWhy isn’t anyone truly investigating this administration? Why doesn’t the FBI or even the local police do something? Is everyone on the take? Or is Kool-Aid Washington D.C.’s favorite drink?
July 18th, 2006 at 9:50 pmHe is against murder yet he sends young citizens to their death for his boutique war.
July 18th, 2006 at 10:01 pmComment by Mr. Evil — July 18, 2006 @ 7:35 pm
I would beg to differ. As it is expressed in the Sermon on the Mount, “Christian Morality” is certainly not an oxymoron. And there are individuals who live by that moral guidance.
However, if you were to qualify the term with “conservative/evangical” I would agree. Not all who claim to be Christians follow Christ’s path, and not all who follow Christ’s path claim to be Christians.
July 18th, 2006 at 10:01 pm#84 Briseadh na Faire: As I respect and agree with you on most posts the main reason most people call themselves ‘christian’ today is mainly out of social expediancy. Christian infers Christ-like or leading a Christ-like existence. I don’t see much of that in observing the cold, hard realities of this world.
July 18th, 2006 at 10:08 pmWell, as long as he says so. How much of those hundreds of iraqi and afhgan civilian deaths he thinks that is wrong?
July 18th, 2006 at 10:34 pmI wonder if any of those brilliant reporters challenged this stupid idiot on that ridiculous statement.
