MOTIVATIONAL POSTER: compassionate cons in New Orleans (GRAPHIC!)

in your subject line.

I do like the work though!

Some folks might be a bit squeamish...

you don't even have to put a return address.

Or if you do, just mark it "the White House"

Poor Grover. That quote is gonna be heard around the world.

confirming this one.

Bill Moyers asked him to confirm it and he sidestepped.

It's people like you that make this site the best on the planet. I can't tell you how many times I have come to the D.U. with a question and someone, somewhere will help me out. In this case... a small item...but... you give credance to the original poster. Thanks


:toast: to all Du'ers

:yourock:

:blush:

I just don't like to see any DUer's valuable efforts dismissed or put down by the opposition because of a technical inaccuracy. It's absolutely imperative that we be as completely factual and accurate as humanly possible or we damage our own efforts, and that's where we can help each other.

As for this comment: "I can't tell you how many times I have come to the D.U. with a question and someone, somewhere will help me out," -- I couldn't agree with you more. So many times I've needed input and multiple DU voices have answered with positive help.

:toast:

They've been repeating that "Gore says he invented the internet" crap for years. That Norquist quote is accurate at least in spirit, far more so than anything they say about Dems.

It just absolutely crushes me that that is how his life ended and how his body, which was so tender and precious to his mother and father, ended up drifting like it was just flotsam. It just absolutely breaks my heart.

There aren't tears enough in the whole wide world.

this is the face of "compassionate conservatism."

* voters may want to take a closer look. This victim's appearance would seem to resemble a rather large segment of red-staters. (Race and clothing)

This nightmare administration allowed (understatement) the needless deaths of tens of thousands of Americans of modest means. How will the government handle the next tornado season across the midwest? Not a lot of "Pioneer" donors there.

Just sayin'

it does add a layer of irony that it's a white guy who might have had a W sticker on his bumper.

Sad to know how true it is.

it's pretty grim.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? He appears to be the most shining example of what happens when you let money consume your life.

When you are that person, you only have a couple of reactions:

1. Avoid the bully

2. plot revenge

3. suck up to the bully and help him kick other people's asses.


It's not hard to tell which Grover picked.

He's probably in Gannon's little black book too.

This is bush's legacy.

If it had been a brown skinned kurd who had been gassed by saddam, they would make it into a bumpersticker.

Us or the president and his cronies that are profiting from it in Iraq?

Even if you believe what he says about trying to spread democracy in the Middle East (which is a good idea) who is spooging about spreading it by killing Iraqis?

We could spread democracy without killing anyone and by spending less money--simply stop supporting dictators in the region like Mubarak, Musharraf, and the Saudis, the last of which often ranked higher than Saddam on list of human rights abusers. We give them weapons and aid.

But of course Bush doesn't want that even in Iraq. He wants the oil, and had a plan to privatize and expropriate it before they went in. You can see the documents and see interviews with the players like Grover Norquist (who helped write the plan) and General Jay Garner who said stealing their oil would inflame resistance to the occupation--so he was fired. In their interim constitution, the Bushies made it as difficult as possible for the Iraqis to undo this crime.

If you read polls of Iraqis, the overwhelming majority want us to leave. A third of the legislators elected in the election we oversaw have signed a letter asking us to leave. The horrible Muqtada al Sadr commited the terrorist act of collecting a petition with a million signatures asking us to leave.


You guys don't really care about any of this. You just like the idea of killing some A-rabs, the same way you don't really care if the people executed when Bush was governor of Texas were innocent or guilty.

I'm trying to do you guys a favor. The next time Bush decides to punish a local official during a natural disaster by withholding help, it could be you or a family member face down in the water. Just as Cindy Sheehan is trying to tell you that your kid or nephew could die in Iraq, inflaming hatred against the US and increasing the threat of terrorism, not reducing it. Don't take my word for it. Pollster John Zogby found over 90% of Arabs didn't believe our stated reasons for the war when we went in, and a year later, that number was HIGHER--98% in Egypt.

This is just like the White House intimidation and censorship of reporters in Iraq that middle and working class republicans obediently go along with. You like the idea of killing but throw a hissy fit when someone shows you what you approve of. You're like kids who throw a rock off an overpass and then cry like a fucking baby when the cops catch you and make you look at the face you crushed.

I guess if your sources of information are limited to talk radio and fox news and you studiously avoid the investigative journalism done in the rest of the world, you wouldn't know that Bush ignored the ample warnings he had for 9/11, just he ignored the warnings and underfunded the repairs that would have mitigated the damage of the hurricane.

It's just sad. Why don't you righties start fact-checking and doing your own research rather than relying on people like Sean who you should know by now consistently lie to you?

I like how you are really trying to communicate with the right here. if they aren't able to handle that, there's nothing more that you can do, and it's on them.

The poster is amazingly powerful.

They probably can't see how withholding aid from people in the superdome led to anyone's death either.

:toast: to you

:grr: to :grr: Norquist :grr: and :grr: the :grr: rest :grr: of :grr: the :grr: whole :grr: band :grr: of :grr: evil-doers :grr:

Should be posted on every blank outdoor wall in America. On billboards and barn roofs too.

That is a powerful message, unfortunately it perpetuates the myth that CONservatives stand for small government.

The RePUKES have always created more government and bureaucracy. But then, they never let reality stop their wild tales.

Thanks for sharing....

This one will stay with me for awhile.... the one picture that I personally can say affected me like this one....

The naked Vietnamese girl running down the road crying. It captured the moment like no other.

"Campassionate Conservatism" captures the this current tragedy in the same manner.

Then they should stop running for the fucking government jobs! :mad:

private employers by pretending to work for the government.

Larry David would be a more compassionate president than Bush (both real Larry AND TV Larry).

with great effect in F9-11.
