FreeRepublic's Jim Robinson on the President and Cocaine
Now that we know Kittle Kelley's new book reveals that George W. Bush snorted cocaine at Camp David, let's revisit the sage words of Free Republic founder Jim Robinson:
To: Freedom Wins

So, it doesn't matter if he snorted coke as a youth? It was a long time ago, a youthful in-discretion? Kinda like people who frequented sneakeasies during prohibition? Kind of a cute story, eh? Well, how about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by being arrested for the felony of drug possession? What about the millions of people who are rotting away in your filthy drug infested prisons at this very moment?

Well, by God, if you people insist on electing another cokehead as President, you damned well better throw open all the prison cell doors and free every man, woman, and child you're holding on drug charges. And if you're gonna elect another drug felon as President, you'd better rescind each and every one of your unconstitutional drug laws now on the books, including all of your unconstitutional search and seizure laws, and your asset forfeiture laws, and your laws that enable your unconstitutional snooping into our bank accounts and cash transactions. Well, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You people are sick! Conservatives my ass. You people are nothing but a bunch of non-thinking hypocrits! You're a shame and a disgrace to the Republic!

And, I, for one, am tired of taking orders from cokeheads and felons! Elect another one and I'll tell you what. I'll be ready for war! It'll be time to take up arms and run the filthy lying bastards out!

Can't wait to see how he tries to backtrack from that rant!

7. He said it in 1999, though
After 9-11, RimJob had an epiphany and now views * as the new, improved son of God, wreaking havoc on evildoers and having nothing to do with any of that namby-pamby, wimpy, girlie-man, turn-the-other-cheek chit.

20. Doesn't he realize that all the coke is one of the reasons...
Bush let 9/11 happen. And that Bush ran and hide that day and the next.

8. But, but maybe Bush was born again again?
How many times does one get to be "born again" before the warranty runs out and that person is held responsible for their actions?

11. how about that?
I almost skipped this thread due to the title. I really don't much care what his opinions are, but having read it anyway, I would have to say, pretty cool!

I guess he wasn't a Bush supporter in the last primaries, eh?

19. Was he a McCain guy at the time?
I don't want to go over there to check, but he's supporting Bush now?

I guess cokeheads aren't all that bad after all.

21. McCain? Naaaah, my guess would be George Lincoln Rockwell...
... or, if he were feeling in a liberal mood, Patrick S. Buchanan.
