It's not like Bush heard them singing; he was up in the helicopter flying over. They did briefly mention it on the news though.
i couldn't care less if bush heard it, in fact...better if he did. seriously, fuck him. that really wasn't the 'point' to me, at all. it was the whole process, the time/place...the inauguration, celebrating a new president. i personally saw it as inappropriate it for that. really, in a sense, it was disrespectful to the day in my mind...but whatever...i think i personally discussed it enough. :P say it's fantastic and make one off-hand comment about it being a bit in poor taste...and thereya go....10 posts discussing that one comment.
it's not easy to be gracious and respectful when your speech essentially has to be about how the last guy really fucked everything up and you're going to try to fix it... but he managed
Fuck Bush.
He should be publicly tarred and feathered, and then sent to jail with the rest of his gang of crooks.

Yup and there were groups that hated us b4 Bush became president. Always have and always will.
that's not being old fashion that's called respect
communist I mean commy needs to learn a little.
I know my history.
a recent poll of Arab countries asked what is the biggest threat to world peace-the answer was the US and Israel. Both Israel and the US have proven that poll to be true...their actions support the feelings of the pollsters. The US has invaded Iraq, Israel has invaded Gaza...its obvious who the aggressors are.
groups have hated the US for a reason...and will continue to do so as long as we perpetuate our militant foreign policy...as long as we continue to give them a reason to hate.
I say we, but mean the US government. We has become the term, but I think its inaccurate.
Anyone else hear the crowd signing 'Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye' to Bush while he was flying over the crowd in the helicopter on this way back to Texas?
Yea and it was disgraceful to hear that. IMo that wasn't the time for that display of freedom of speech.
so you think there should be certain designated times deemed appropriate to display your freedom of speech??
once were told WHEN we can show dissent the next step is WHAT we can show dissent against. as someone else said fuck bush! hes fucked enough people for 2 life times.
what better time than NOW!!!
hear my name
take a good look

there are better ways to deal with terrorists/
please explain on how you would deal with terrorisim,I dont think you get it commy those SCUM BAGS would cut your head off and not even think twice, theres only one way and its a bullet in the head.
I didn't watch the innaugaration, but I found it neat that it was the day after Martin Luther King Day. I also notice that I am just now really feeling the impact of Obama becoming president. He's young, vibrant, afro-american, and I think really "gets it". I know he has a lot of work to do. A lot has been dumped in his lap. I hope he gets re-elected so he has the time to really do what we need.
Hip Hip Horray!!!! And I have no sympathy for Bush at all. I honestly believe he was incompetent and has mental issues. He should had been removed based on that a long time ago. I am a social worker. I don't say that about Bush out of anger, etc. I honestly, professionally, believe he had mental issues that interfered with his job.
Its a new day.
Just more proof that an unfortunately large segment of the population treat politics with utter childishness.
Is there a BETTER way to treat it?
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
What wonderful class shown by liberals. So enlightened, so classy.
:roll:
I suppose it would have been MUCH classier to shout up racist remarks a la Sarah Palin supporters? Or was it a death threat? Remind me... either way it sure does ooze class

first of all-they are pissed off for a reason. no one blows themselves up at a bus stop without cause. you need to address that.
so in Gaza you end Israeli apratheid, sign some sort of agreement to the 67 borders-its a complex issues but over the years all Israel has done is take and bomb and build walls and set up checkpoints----they've turned Gaza into a concentration camp, its a breeding ground for desperation and terrorists. helping gaza to build some sort of production based economy would also go a long way.
with al qaeda-the US has troops stationed near mecca, Islam's holiest site. they take that religious fanaticism to new levels, that's part of it. part of it is the destruction caused by numerous US wars-pay reparations and get the fuck out, that would go a long way to prevent terrorism. stop supporting the unpopular royal family in saudi arabia-each case is different. I"m not even sure there really is a global group of terrorists called al quaeda, just individual groups working in their own specific areas. you need to deal with each individually.
each case is different, but one thing is constant. the more bombs you drop the more terrorists you create. you can't win a war against terrorism. its like war against jealousy or something like that-its not winnable.
Pointing to worse behavior doesn't justify bad behavior.
If you murder person A, does that mean I'm a good chap because I only mug person B? Well you murdered, so who are you to talk crap about me?
i agree, but explain to me how it was bad behaviour?
freedom of speech is a great thing. i suggest it be used wherever and whenever. certainly a giant public speactacle such as the inauguration is a good place to voice your opinion of the outgoing president. some of you americans just seem to get too darn uptight about the wrong things sometimes.

Yeah, you have the right be disrespectful at an inauguration, but it doesn't mean that IMO that you should do it. I don't think one should heckle Obama as he is sworn in. I don't think one should heckle Bush as he ceremoniously leaves. Can, yes. Should, no.

yep it totally is my opinion. and i think bush should be heckled not only as he ceremoniously leaves office but he should also be questioned at every given opportunity. after what hes done he deserves no rest. he should be constantly reminded of what happened on his watch and how poorly it was handled.

It's Day 1 and already calling for re-election.... way too early for that... let's see what he can do over the long haul.
This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

wow...we're so in agreement today! stranger things have happened, i'm sure. that was the point i've tried to make a few times over on this subject, of course, not nearly as succinctly. you bet...can, yes....should, no...imo. and i said as much earlier - fuck bush, it's not about respect for him at all as i have none...it's of respect for the day, the event, and the new president. differing perspectives as ever.......
And I have no sympathy for Bush at all. I honestly believe he was incompetent and has mental issues. He should had been removed based on that a long time ago. I am a social worker.

You are one hell of a social worker...diagnosing mental illness from snipets of TV. Funny, the only Social worker I ever knew needed her own shrink.

uptight, as in, people who get annoyed if someone dares say 'bless you' when they sneeze?
i dind't know expressing an opinion on a topic constitutes being 'uptight.'
i've said it often enough....it was disrespectful to the DAY, to all of us, to obama. it was a celebration of our NEW president. obama managed to be utterly respectful and classy.....as he should be, and as the occasion warranted. there has been, and will continue to be, plenty of opportunity to express all dissent, outrage, etc, at bush...or whomever else.
imo it's akin to attending someone's wedding, and then being rude, 'expressing yourself'...b/c you do not approve one of the guests in attendance. sure, it may be your 'right'....but i do think it's in poor taste to the guests of honor, or your hosts. differing perspectives, absolutely. i don't think ANYone denies the *right* to such freedom of expression, just the appropriateness of the time/place. and so it goes......

being a jackass at a wedding isn't even in the same ballpark as telling Bush to fuck off. he is a mass murderer...he has the blood of millions of people on his hands. if people are pissed about bush's decisions...as I think they should be-they should express that. as was said earlier -respect is earned. I don't care if its his dad's funeral, if I'm there I'm reminding him that what he has done will have consequences.
