"Nobody from the Democratic Party has actually stood up and called for the getting rid of 
  the terrorist surveillance program. You know, if that's what they believe, if people in the party 
  believe that, then they ought to stand up and say it. They ought to stand up and say, the tools 
  we're using to protect the American people shouldn't be used. They ought to take their message 
  to the people and say, vote for me.  That's what they ought to be doing.
       --Dubya, yesterday,    Link
 

 Is that how we play?

"Nobody from the GOP has actually stood up and called for the lynching of every black man 
  in America. You know, if that's what they believe, if people in the GOP believe that, then they 
  ought to stand up and say it. They ought to stand up and say, "We're gonna hang every black 
  man we can find. They ought to take their message to the people and say, vote for me."
  If that's what all Republicans believe, who don't they have the courage to say the words out loud?
 

That's not how high-brow, losemeister Bob Shrub would've handled it, 
but a fast, over-the-top retort serves a purpose.

First, it disarms the GOP from attacking your attack. What can they say, "How dare you?"
Second, it draws a line that says, "If you go gutter, we'll go gutter and we'll f-ing win."

But nooooooooooooooooo.
The Democrats say, "We can't be like them. I have too much integrity to dignity to deny that I 
ran like a coward in Vietnam because I faked my medals" ...and continue losing with our dignity intact.

If the Democrats want a whole herd of flame-throwing comebacks quaranteed to scorch fascist ass,
all they gotta do is send me an e-mail.  All I want is the DoD if we win.

Those Lies, Again
 by Robert Parry as seen on  Consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
In a nationally televised press conference, George W. Bush repeated some of his favorite lies about 
the Iraq War, including the canard that he was forced to invade because Saddam Hussein blocked 
the work of United Nations weapons inspectors in 2003.

Bush has uttered this lie in a variety of forms over more than 2 ½ years, yet the Washington press corps 
has never challenged the President directly about the falsehood. He got away with it again on March 21 
when no journalist followed up the question from Helen Thomas that elicited Bush's response.

Some TV commentary about the Thomas-Bush exchange even suggested that Bush had scored points 
with the American public for calling on - and then slapping down - the senior White House correspondent
who is known for her irreverent and acerbic questions. But Bush's truthfulness wasn't questioned. 
 
 
 

It never is.
America's "First Family" is above the law.

Republicans stay on the offensive by accusing innocent Democrats of having sex.
Democrats stay on the defensive by failing to accuse the guilty GOP of their crimes and wars.

Bush Allows Helen a Question
 He's a brave bastard, that Bush boy

 Link

 Excerpt:
At his news conference today, Bush took a question from Helen Thomas for the first time in four years. 
Helen, who is in her 80s, has been a critic of war, death, invasions and murder, so naturally he is terrified of her. 
Helen has made it well-known what question she intended to ask Mr. Bush: Why did we go to war in Iraq? 
His answer: "You wanna know about Iraq? Let me tell you about Afghanistan."

Is Hillary a Lincoln?

 Link

 Excerpt:
Abraham Lincoln was without a doubt appalled and disgusted with slavery because he believed that the
slaves fell under the umbrella of "all men are created equal".  He personally yearned for full equal rights
for the slaves.  Yet there are mountains of evidence of him supporting half measures and compromise.
Evidence that has been used to claim that he was racist and a shill for aparthied.

Subject: 'gotcha' for the MSM

Please explain to me how the MSM did not either
a) catch this tidbit from fucko's press conference or
b) chose to outright ignore it:

 http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/21/bush.transcript/index.html

"And the world said, "Disarm, disclose or face serious consequences."
And therefore, we worked with the world.
We worked to make sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world.

And when he chose to deny the inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had
the difficult decision to make to remove him. And we did. And the world is safer for it."

The President of the U.S.A. is outright lying about the fact his 48 hour warning of impending
"Shock and Awe" wasn't geared towards anyone besides the UN inspectors that were both
a) DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS WASN'T BEING PERMITTED or
b) rushing to get the fuck out of Dodge.  And NO ONE will even mention it.

Fuck 'em - keep hammering bro, i took the winter empties back,
so i'm kicking you a sawbuck before i blow it on more booze.

Ryan, reporters who call Bush on his lies
or ask real questions get treated like Helen Thomas.

Subject: Bush's lies leading up to his invasion

(Bush's decision to invade) was from the beginning a cultural mugging of opportunity, a planned racist homicide
on a massive scale.  Many of us knew this well before February 15, 2003. We just never imagined that the
Cheney creeps were so craven that they would actually go ahead with it.

Congress unwisely gave Bush the benefit of the doubt, having no concept of an administration that could
be this vile, although a few of them knew what those of us who are not PAID to know already knew.

RMann, that was well put, and one of the sanest letters you've ever sent.
Did you mean to be sane and reasonable?  Or was this an accident?  :)

The phrase I underlined, I think, says it best.
All this chatter of what "everybody knew for a fact" is/was poppycock.

Sarandon to play Sheehan in Movie

 Link

Sarandon Calls Hillary "a disappointment"
 Attacking Hillary is good publicity for her movie
 News of this attack is all over the internet, like she planned

 Link

 Excerpt:
To generate cheap publicity for her anti-war film, Susan Sarandon says she's unhappy with Hillary.

"I find Hillary Clinton to be a great disappointment," Miss Sarandon told More magazine.
(Has anybody ever heard of More magazine?  I looked it up - it's a magazine for older women.
 No wonder I hadn't heard of it.)

"She seems to be a very bright woman. I've met her. But she's lost her progressive following because
of her caution and centrist approach. It bothers me when she voted for the war," Sarandon said.

"What America is looking for is authentic people who want to go into public service because
they believe strongly in something, not people who are trying to get elected."
 

I thought that was the Democrats' problem - that they had no desire to win.
Did Gore try to get elected?
Did Kerry try to get elected?
Name a Democrat besides Bill Clinton who fought a smart, strong campaign.

Sidebar:
If Hillary's not the front runner, as many Hillary critics claim, why is she the only Democrat
who is being shelled by other Democrats? Is anyone pounding Gore, Kerry or Feingold?

Like most Hillary critics, Sarandon failed to say who might be better suited to beat the BFEE machine
but apparently, as long as Hillary fails to win, Susan Sarandon will be happy.
 

I hope Ms. Sarandon makes a lot of money with her movie.

The Punchy President

 Link

 Excerpt:
Bush had a senior moment midway through his news conference yesterday. 
Referring to an earlier question from the LA Whore Times' Jim Gerstenzang, who has covered 
much of Bush's presidency, Bush looked at the veteran correspondent -- and forgot his name.

He identified Terry Hunt, the AP's veteran White House correspondent, as the generic "AP Person." 
He accused New York Times correspondent Elisabeth Bumiller of sleeping through his speech Monday
in Cleveland. After USA Today's David Jackson interrupted a Bush non-answer, the president queried: 
"Now, what is your follow-up yell?"

And he made a show of reading from his stage directions. Rambling his way through a question 
about interest rates, Bush paused to confess, "I'm kind of stalling for time here.".

Subject: Nader voter

al gore did not lose.  our country,  and our planet  lost.

I don't know why people want to "straighten me out" on who won in 2000.
Do you think I slept thru that year?
 

gore ran as 'his own man'.  who wouldn't want a president to be his own man.

In 1988, Bush ran as "Let's stay the course," and he won because Reagan was semi-popular..
Gore refused to do that, and Bush became president.
 

he didn't lose because he separated himself from clinton.  he didn't lose at all.
this is republican media drivel that karl rove put out there and some people still enjoy repeating it.

No matter how you spin it, Gore was not the president so stop pretending, would you?
I can't re-write every sentence in history to add, "Of course, we all know Gore won..."
I assume readers of  bartcop.com  can remember back as far as the end of 2000.
I refuse to insult them and I suggest you stop insulting people, too.
 

bush was  'selected'  by 1 vote on the supreme court.    remember' bush vs. gore '.

<lots of snippage of repetitive redundancies>

Bernard
 

From now on, when someone writes to say "Gore actually won in 2000,"
as tho this was some thunderbolt to Ol' Bart the mega-idiot, they'll get one of these.

If you're having political conversations with someone who can't remember 2000,
I suggest you widen your circle of acquaintences to people with IQs of at least 30.

Subject: Question for Bush

A question some reporter needs to ask the next time:

"What is your relationship with the group called Project for a New American Century,
and why is it that your policies here and abroad match perfectly with their agenda,
including using a terrorist attack on the United States to prompt a pre-emptive war in the middle east?"

DEADLY followup when he denies knowing who PNAC is:

"If you know nothing about this radical organization, then how is it that Cheney, Jeb, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz
and other members of your administration and the GOP are the people responsible for founding this group,
and how is it that your domestic and foriegn policy EXACTLY MATCHES the agenda of this radical group?"

David, I predict Bush would either lie on answer a different question.

Subject: Impeachment will brings the troops home sooner

President Bush said today that it will be up to a future president to bring the troops home.
So I think we should impeach him and bring the troops home 2 years sooner.

Is there going to be anything left of America if we don't accept the fact that our president is a failure?
Impeach Bush Now!

Apology for Clooney  (sort of)

 Link

 Excerpt:
Arianna Huffington issued an apology to readers of her site after misleadingly crediting George Clooney 
with authoring a politically charged entry.  Clooney did not get an apology as of this writing. 

The semi-apology was printed Saturday in a blog entry titled "Lesson Learned" and was addressed to 
"HuffPost Readers, Commenters and Bloggers," but not the offended party, puzzling some. 

"Even though the point of providing George Clooney a sample blog was to show how it's done and encourage 
him to join the blogosphere, I will curb my enthusiasm and not do this in the future," Huffington wrote.

Subject: Bush is delisional

Bart-

Clearly our so called commander and chief has lost what little mind he had left after the 
booze and cocaine binges of his youth and adulthood. The so called progress that Bush
talked about is non existent and he should know it. 

The fact that he continues to put forward a sunny view of the bloody illegal war in Iraq is more 
proof that the man needs a good does of psychiatric care. Bush tried to blame the media for not 
showing the so called "good" things in Iraq. 

The problem is for every small gain, and they have been small if at all, the continued increase in 
violence renders those mute.  Why the American people continue to believe Bush's bullshit is beyond me. 
If you and I lied to our wives as much as Bush has lied to us we would be living in the dog house or 
worse yet the American public still won't push to throw the bastard out.  Polls show his low numbers
but until the public presses its congressmen to get rid of the murdering monkey those numbers don't mean shit.

Keep hammering

Sexy Teacher gets no Jail Time
 Is she too beautiful for jail? (That's a joke, don't write)

 Link

 Excerpt:
Prosecutors in one Florida county decided Tuesday to drop charges against a former Tampa teacher
accused of having sex with a lucky 14-year-old middle school student.  The decision, announced hours
after a judge rejected a plea deal for Debra Lafave, means the victim won't have to testify.
Lafave's sentence in another county for having sex with the same boy still stands.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys had urged the judge to accept the deal for the sake of the boy involved.
A psychiatrist who examined the teenager told the judge at a previous hearing that the boy suffered extreme
anxiety from the media coverage of the case and does not want to testify.

Subject: Primary Reason Bush Won Is Diebold!

Bart, you wrote:

<However one feels about this subject, isn't that the primary reason Bush "won" in 2004?
<Because people felt he'd "break the speed limit" while Kerry would let his daughter, or New York,
<ot the nation die, because he'd nuance every issue to death instead of taking bold action?

Actually Bart, Kerry won the election. Also Gore won the 2000 election!
This is a FACT!

Those of us paying attention know this is true. Both elections were STOLEN.
Why do you make assertions that are so easily proven FALSE?

Bart,

I am as addicted to The Shield as you are, but I wanted to shut it off and never watch it again
when Slime murdered Lem......what, this is a cliffhanger, a strike force member murders his buddy???? 

Why didn't Vic murder Kavanaugh? 
THAT would have made the next episode worth waiting for.
 Sarah 
 

Sarah, I'm sure Shane told himself he was "saving" Lem the way Tony Soprano "saved" Tony B.

That was a torturous scene - we knew what Shane was going to do, and it took him forever.
I figured he'd use a gun, but the grenade is better - it'll send everyone after the Dominicans.
Plus, the shock on Vic's face told everyone that he wasn't involved. 

Wasn't that creepy when Kavanaugh tried to get with Vic's wife?
That's a great show - I'll miss it till next year, but Rescue Me is just around the corner.
I can't wait to see the follow-up episode to last year's season-ender.

Will Jesus be angry?
Or did He know that O'Leary would be too late to prevent the murder?

becoming too ill to work. Her doctors and family say her cancer was caused by exposure to toxic dust from the WTC.

Subject: Nader in 2000

How long must the obfuscation go on?
While Nader did get votes that may have gone to Gore, how many registered dems voted for Bush?
And the reason was, they were still mad at how Clinton "sullied" the white house and their party with his actions.

So, instead of a "sullied" Gore, we got a squeaky-clean Murder Monkey. 
I say it was a bad decision to cast a vote that helped Bush.
 

The number of Nader voters in Fl. did effect the outcome, but no more than the number of dems who voted for Bush.
This fact is overlooked by the majority of people who cling to the belief that Nader 'alone" was responsible.

Nader wasn't the only factor, but he was a deciding factor.
I'm willing to forgive you, just don't screw up 2008 the same way - deal?
 

Could you please help clarify this once and for all?
I also think that the voters who refused to vote at all, should shoulder some of the blame,
and no one ever brings them up, how many of them would have voted for Gore over Bush?
I'm thinking quite a few.

That's a good point...
 

Finally I was pissed at Clinton about Nafta and his inaction about another war <war on drugs>, not Monica.

Kevin, try not to find a reason to get angry with the Demo front-runner this time, whoever it is.

Letter to the Vulgar Pigboy

 Link

 Excerpt:
Mr. Limbaugh, I served in the U. S. Army and currently am a civil servant in the Department of Defense. 
I've studied defense issues for years and have written extensively about them. In a word, I know quite a bit 
more about national security matters than you. (By the way -- when, where, and in which uniform did you 
serve your country?) Having read and written extensively about the run-up to war, I have no doubt that Bush, 
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, and especially Feith are all liars. Moreover, you're among the world's 
extremely small minority, if you believe the Iraq war to be "just." 

It's precisely the "unjust" nature of the America''s invasion of Iraq that has turned most of the world against us, 
thereby further jeopardizing our national security. Bush's war of choice has created a new worldwide growth industry. 
It's called 'international terrorism.'"
