“El-Shafei inflated a 25-foot (eight-meter) effigy of Bush with a long Pinocchio nose at Dupont Circle, away from the heavy flow of tourists, and invited activists and people passing by to throw shoes at it.”

“‘I hated Bush before it was cool,’ read one banner.”

Activist Jamilla El-Shafei has become one of my role models.

The effigy of George W. Bush with a long Pinocchio nose at Dupont Circle is an apposite way to represent Bush.

Indeed, Bush is a liar of alien proportions.

As indicated by the banner—it is now in vogue or fashionable or cool to hate Bush.

Courageous activists like Jamilla El-Shafei add strength and decency to American existence.

The American people frown upon people who carry on with an ignoble fear of the criminal activities of Bush.

The American people have no tolerance for cowards who figuratively or metaphorically kneel before Bush’s tyranny with trembling and ignominy and in fear and disgrace.

The American people have no tolerance for cowards who obey Bush’s corrupt authority in the face of reason—under what I shall refer to as the “Milgram” psychological effect.

Stanley Milgram conducted experiments revealing that people are however predisposed to obey very powerful authority even when they know full well that what they are being told to do is wrong.

Milgram had been studying why people irrationally and blindly obeyed Hitler’s orders to kill Jews in the face of reason where they were reasonable people otherwise.

The American people must work together to put Bush behind bars.

The American people must fight without exception and seek accountability against Bush—even through the last day of Bush’s life.

Somehow this would be so, so fitting.

Are you baiting the threads or was it an accident that you posted the exact same thing in more than one place?

I think whatever is posting this stuff is not human. I have noticed several posts, one by the vey articulate tombaker that were repeated by this bot, but with links to it’s stuff replacing words in the original post. Of course, I’ve had a lot of chardonnay, so I could be wrong.

I think you are correct, same URL as previous link spamming, odd link placement. FLAGGED

Only one person would call Iraq a success and that would be the greatest war profiteer, Dick Cheney. Dick loves all the money the little woodenead Bush made for him.

I KNEW Baghdad was a bust all along, but it really stood out when twice during his presidency he was asked about the proudest moments of his tenure as president: the first was catching a big fish, and the other was on Veteran’s Day last year during an interview on CNN when he couldn’t name a single effort of his presidency that he was proud of, like, oh, the War on Terror and how it has made us more safe (he was, however, most proud of our troops and the job they’ve performed).

Dear John Kerry,

Ever wonder what differentiates you from us?

We don’t hope the President fails!

Talk about how you kept the economy afloat…afloat!
