Unfounded Accusations Against Presidents Should Be A Felony
And so fascists began to speak....

"There needs to be a law passed where any person who disrespects the 'Office of the Presidency' by making false accusations and spreading deliberate rumors about the president, should be charged with a felony or at the very least a high misdemeanor. President Bush has been falsely accused (with nothing concrete to back the accusations up), from being negligent in stopping the 9/11 attacks, to making up fraudulent reasons to go to war in Iraq.

All of the accusations against President Bush are of an offensive nature and so far, just vicious attacks for political gains. But what these political ant-Bush embattled Democratic political warriors can’t seem to grasp. . . most people are now onto their destructive strategies, and have about had it with their whining and non-leadership approach. The Democrats would be wise to change the leaders working behind the scenes, because they are hindering their advancement, rather than helping their party. Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe should have taken his marbles and went home a long time ago. He doesn’t know how to play fair. Not to mention, he’s the one who started and fueled the AWOL rumor about President Bush concerning his tenure in the National Guard. McAulliffe should have been held accountable for starting this malicious rumor."

11. That's what it boils down to,
What they did to Clinton is unconscionable.

What Bush gets away with now is also unconscionable.

22. Welcome!
Yes, you are right on both counts.

24. What a crock that was. I'll never forget or forgive that contrived crap
And I had to listen to hyperventilating Repubs at work on a daily basis over that made up crap. Unbearable.

5. I always thought we should have a law
against being stupid, just generally an idiot. Put them in stocks at the busiest rush hour intersection with a sign over their head saying "Give us a Honk! I am stupid!"

That ought to scare the freepers.

6. My God, who wrote this?
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 06:09 PM by Gman
Bob Boudelang??? Is the ever entertaining Bob really a Kaye Grogan? Did he/she (whichever he/she is) have the operation yet?? And no email address for her anywhere.

I'll be sent up for life with no parole on this one.

Kaye:

17. Kaye looks like your typical repuke babe
You know the type: doggie-ear hair-do, bad make-up and leopard print petro-chemical blouse. All I can say is: Yearrrrghhhhh!

7. That is the single-most ignorant thing I've heard from a repuke
in almost 24 hours! Kaye Grogan, have you absolutely lost what little sense you ever had? This would be funny if she weren't serious about it. It is so wrong on so many levels, it's hard to begin the assault. Instead of wasting another minute on this knucklehead, I think I'll go get a colostomy instead.

19. "high misdemeanor"
Plus:

"biggest majority"

"McAulliffe should have went home"

"policing their own selves"

"administering ambidextrous charges"

and best of all....

"Let the voters decide how long a term in Congress should last"

(Please refer to Constitution of the United States, Article One, Sections 2 and 3.)

9. Sounds Like the Sedition Act
Around 1800, President John Adams signed the Sedition Act, which made it illegal to criticize the President. It was the worst blemise on John Adam's career. Fortunately, Thomas Jefferson then was elected (in an extremely close election), and pardoned everyone who had been convicted under the law. The law was then repealed.

23. Yeah, and this facist b.s. would be so *easy* to enforce, too...
"You're being charged with disrespecting the president." Right. There aren't enough jails on the planet that could take care of the massive prison census this right-wing wet dream would create.

Why don't freepers ever think through their b.s.? Oh, sorry, there's that word again -- "think."

25. I think he meant
Unfounded accusations BY presidents should be a felony.

"There needs to be a law passed where any president who disrespects the 'Office of the Presidency' by making false accusations and spreading deliberate rumors about WMD, ties to Al Queda, or whistle-blowers, should be charged with a felony or at the very least a high misdemeanor..."

26. Rove's Machiavellian principles:
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 08:19 PM by teryang
1. An illegitimate leader can evade and stigmatize questions concerning his credentials by creating an enemy threat abroad.

2. The military dictator is the ideal leader for "the republic."

3. Prosecution against political slander or libel is a most admirable political process.

All three of these principles are discussed at length in either the Prince or the Discourses.

27. How does Kaye Grogan explain this?
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 08:36 PM by Cat Atomic
"who is going to return "national security" back to the United states? We can't count on "Superman" to fly in to save us, and all of the wishes have been used up by the "Genie" and President Bill Clinton appears to be too busy trying to save his own neck to help us! Besides he's passing the buck around to any and everyone he can find, but the buck stopped with him!"- Kaye Grogan, 1999

http://www.dailyrepublican.com/grogan_oped_column.html

Grogan, an unpatriotic, terrorist coddling partisan, dared to suggest that Bill Clinton was lax in defending America! Toss that commie into Gitmo!
