Please note the book he is holding. A rpoud day for the mentally ill all over the world.
So the question of the day...
Is Bush the Devil? If so, in what ways?
Second question...
How does it feel to have the same feelings as people such as Chavez, Saddam, or Mahoud Adinamawhateverhisnameis?
Ok, sometimes my titles are a bit obscure.
I find this fellow very entertaining.
I wouldl gladly exchange an entire continent of Chavez-style opponents for the removal of NK and Iranian opposition. This chap just hates our guts, but he's sane enough not to try to slaughter us in batches. Suits me.
I wish a witchdoctor would force him to marry Cindy Shehan.
The Devil by all accounts is devious, able to tempt people into sin merely by his siblant tongue. He's a very clever creature that is the greatest nemesis of the Lord.
Bush? By himself he'd be hard pressed to persuade people to get into shelter it it were raining.
Bush has none of the genius that would make him comparable to the Devil. He's a 3rd grade yes man with friends with deep pockets.
~:smoking:
I resent the title of this thread! Chavez the left's super hero indeed. He's the court jester.
Chavez is right! Just look! El Presidente is making the Horns of Satan! Aieeeee!

1. He is not the devil. Richard Nixon was the devil.Quote:

2. Can't tell... I don't hold the same feelings as Chavez, Hussein, or Ahmenijad. Besides, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, thus rendering your argument ad hominem and generally fallacious.
Hehe... fallacious. :laugh4:

To be fair to Rory's criticism however, he was also hammering Bush on his persuasive skills.
Bush may be effective one-on-one (don't know), but glib he ain't.
I am especially proud of the fact that the United States is Venezuela's largest customer for oil. I truly truly love that we are reliant on our enemies to power our economic engine. A national disgrace. :no:
I have a deep seated dislike for demagogues, and Chavez is no exception.
:inquisitive: It took you that long to notice?Quote:

As much as I love this, I almost wish they wouldn't even address this moron. Bush's greatest diplomacy so far has been his handling of Chavez, complete and utter dismissal.Quote:
"You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, scolded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, was blunt in her criticism of the Venezuelan leader. "He is an everyday thug," she said.
Excallent point made!!!:2thumbsup:Quote:

Considering how unpopular Bush is compared to the popularity of Chavez he'd only end up making a fool of himself.
~:smoking:
Ah, complete and utter dismissal would include sponsoring a coup attempt against him and looking like a prize twit when it failed?Quote:

This may be why I am not the president.
Seriously thou, I don’t understand how this guy is not heckled and boo’ed out of here. Most of America doesn’t like him any more than we like Sheehan but for some reason our representatives sit quietly on their thumbs (with a few exceptions).
It was at the UN. America has few friends at the UN. This may come as a shock, but most think America is a bully.

Saw parts of his 'speech' in Harlem, maybe he should do standup comedy instead. Actually surprised that he didn't make a 'your mother is so fat' joke, couldn't have hurt to slip a few in.
what a clown.
Perception is greater than reality, but there were still a few “friends” there and they should have been spitting mad rather than laughing at the translator.Quote:

For a country to do so makes them America's yes-men. Even Israel has more dignity than to do that.

Yes, and most of those countries are dictatorships.... less than half the UN membership is composed of open democracies. Comes as a real shocker that many of them dont like the US. :laugh4:Quote:

I think he will get Venez' on the UNSC. He's vexing, but the fellow plays anti-US sentiment very well and it is a big enough component of the world's collective psyche to get him a lot of mileage.
Dignity has no place in the UN. ~DQuote:

I saw it as well. Interesting how a the response for him. Then again, if i existed simply on handouts and government assistance because I'm too lazy to get a job or take care of my 15 kids on welfare, i guess i would be cheering this socialist as well. :2thumbsup:Quote:

It seemed to me that he already drunk a little too many tequila's then.
Can't he be both? :laugh4:Quote:

Zorba and Bush, sittin' in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G... :laugh4:Quote:

Crazed Rabbit
Ha ha! I see what you mean! Ha ha!
.
I'm just wondering why you call a man who's criminalized dissent a 'democratic superhero'.

Yes Rabbit, dissent has been criminalised :dizzy2:
So those 3000 dissenting steelworkers got locked up for criminal behaviour didn't they , and those dissenting groups that get massive funding from your tax dollars have to do so in private , keeping their complaints secret because it is criminal .:no:
So what exactly is this criminalised dissent you are on about ?
The devil is bad :yes:.
Got on a little late on this one, but here is my :2cents:
His anitcs put me very much in mind of some of the old newsreels of Benito Mussolini. He has that sort of similar machismo strutting style that Mussolini was so good at. I can almost hear them in Venezuela saying "Viva Chavez!" "Viva Ahmadenijad!" "Viva Hamas y Hezbollah!" "Muerte al Diablo Bush!"
Some interesting responses so far. Great thread! Viva la ORG!
