What is Governor Arnold's response to Jeb Bush's hateful remarks?
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 05:42 PM by Dr Fate
Or will the "Liberal Media" even ask him?

Wouldnt it be great if Arnold REALLY decided to follow his rhetoric as a uniter and ask Jeb for an apology?

If Arnold was a MAN, he would DEMAND an apology for the slander against his fellow Calafornians.

Of course, this will NEVER happen because:

A. The "Liberal Media" would never dare even ASK Arnold about it, giving him a pass on the controversy.

B. Arnold is a Bush lackey- he would rather remain SILENT than stick up for his fellow Calafornians. He's more concerned with his alliance with Bush than sticking up for what is right.

C. San Francisco did not vote for this coward anyway, so why SHOULD he do the honorable thing.

Wouldnt it be cool if Arnold REALLY was a tough guy like in the movies?

Wouldnt it be cool if Arnold said- "I am a Republican,but before that, I am a citizen of Calafornia. What Jeb said was wrong- I'd appreciate it if would cease wishing death upon the good citizens of my state."

If Arnold says anything at all, he will probably say "it was all in good fun."

I wish all Republican Southern Baptists and Orange County Republicans were about to die. That would be a good thing. Opps- did I really say that? Just kidding.

2. He said that San Franciscans are an "endangered species"
...and then he laughed and said "thats a GOOD thing"

Then he laughed again and said "Did I really say that?"

I can only assume that his "joke" was refering to people dying of AIDS, that is, until the Liberal Media asks him what he really meant.
What else could he have been refering too? In what way are the citizens of my city "endangered?"

I want the GOD DAMN MEDIA to ask him WHAT THE FUCK HE MEANT!!!!
I want the GOD DAMN MEDIA to ask ARNOLD WHAT THE FUCK HE IS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

He knew his remarks were controversial, because he said "did I really just say that??"

Imagine if a prominet Liberal said somthing similar about a group of traditional republicans, like Orange County, or Southern Baptists...

4. Why doesnt Arnold say this?
As Governor of ALL Calafornians, that is HIS job to set Jeb straight.

Fucking muscle brained coward does not have the guts to stand up to a Bush though...He cares more about Jeb than his own people...

32. No, you settle down if that's what you like...
...I dont think ANYTHING that comes out of Jeb's mouth/anus is funny at all.

If a DEM had said this about , say, Southern Baptists, you would never hear the end of it from Bush/media.

34. Here is what I am sure he meant
San Franciscans are indeed an indangered species. Why? Well, the next "terror attack" will occur there. Jeb knows this.

6. Hey, Arnold is not the Governor
Gray Davis is still the Governor of California and Arnold, albeit the Governor Elect, is still a mere citizen. Let's not promote him before we have to. I know, picky, picky, picky....but I'm still MAD.

8. But the GOD DAMN MEDIA thinks he is....
...and I want the GOD DAMNED MEDIA to ask Davis AND Arnold what they think.

Of course they wont, becuase they dont want to "rock the boat" by stirring up a Bush controversy- those tactics are reserved strictly for hits on Democrats...

7. No, Corporate TV Pravda won't ask Imperial Governor Ahnold
Yes, Jebbie is an aristocratic piece of shit like the Royal Family we rebelled against in 1776.

Ahnold is a gutless turd, like all Busheviks. He proved that by ONLY groping the "little people". Not that I am endorsing unwanted groping, but if he had any guts he would have groped someone FAMOUS, who could FIGHT BACK.

Artnold is a gutless turd, and shows it more every day. He just plays a tough guy, but he's a coward.

And say, where was Ahnold during Vietnam? Shooting himself full of Elephant Steroids, that's where...

31. At least Clinton's sex was consensual...
Edited on Fri Nov-14-03 05:33 AM by Dr Fate
...all the other charges against Clinton came to nothing- Ken Starr's investigation came up ZERO on EVERYTHING except Monica.

Clinton was fully investigated for years, and all they could find was that he lied about a consensual relationship- Will Bush or Arnold ever be fully investigated???

Can you explain to me why the "Liberal media" does not covver the Arnold accusation "Monica Style"- 24-7?

Do you think Arnold and Bush should be investigated like Clinton?

I'm up ALL NIGHT BABY- I await your analysis...

12. It would be a "good thing" if Jeb's brother became "endangered"
WHOOPS! Did I REALLY say that? Just kidding.

I'm not sure what the word "endangered" means- I'm waiting for the GOD DAMNED MEDIA to ask Jeb Bush, George Bush and Gov. Arnold what THEY think it means.

11. Here's what Ahnold would probably say...
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 06:48 PM by Frangible
EDIT: Be sure to read these with a thick Austrian accent.

"Chill out, dickwad."
"Jeb Bush-- You are terminated!"
"Fuck you, asshole."
"I need your boots, your clothes, and your crack pipe."
*shoot Jeb in the leg* "He'll live."
"Jeb Bush? Have you substained a head injury?"
"Talk to the hand."

13. Who cares what the czar of Florida says? My condolences to Floridians
and Californians to be strapped with such bags of pork rinds
as your two governators. Or as Bush* would say, Floridiots and
Californicators.

Lord. I'm glad Thomas Jefferson isn't alive to see this. It
would kill him.

14. Since he is not a Democrat, the GOD DAMNED MEDIA does not care
I do care- I want to know exactly what Jeb meant, I want to know if W agrees, and I want to know what Arnold thinks.

16. Or, the GOD DAMNED MEDIA could give Jeb the "Dean Treatment"
and scrutinize his comments, then ask Arnold what he thinks.

Oh, I forgot, Jeb is a BUSH, not Dean (D), so forget that...

18. Mabey, ha ha, we could, (chuckle), call the( Ho-Ho HO) media...
..and Bwa ha ha hah- ask THEM to do it- Oh ha ha ha ha ha a- my ribs, oh I cant stand it...

For a moment I thought I still lived in a democracy that had a free press, MERCY was that a good laugh!!!

Even if one or two reporters were curious, Bush/media would never allow it. Jeb is no "racist" Howard Dean, so we shall NOT scrutinize his words...

Jeb can say that its "a good thing" for Gays, Immigrants, AIDS victims and Veterans to be close to dying, and Bush/media will never ask him what the fuck he meant...

21. Calm down . . .
Shit, dudes, take a deep breath and try to remember when back to when you all had a sense of humor. (I'm not saying that this is particularly funny, just that it is an attempt at humor and should be recognized as such). I think we all (the country in general) need to stop being so easy to offend. I wouldn't have any friends left if they were as easy to offend as people in large groups are. I mean, who doesn't occasionally make a joke about a friend (or anyone else for that matter), you know, just "bustin' their balls," or "yankin' their chain," so to speak.

Also, reporters did ask Jeb (or someone else close to him) to explain his "joke" and they said it was a reference to how few Repukes there were in San Fran and how they are endangered. A likely story. Maybe it's the truth, maybe not, but in any case, take it for what it is. Lighten up. For Pete's sake, the mayor of SF said it was nothing.

22. Did Bush/media "let it go" when Dean the "racist" made comments?
Edited on Fri Nov-14-03 02:03 AM by Dr Fate
He is lying (apparently an imeachable offense)- why would losing Republicans be a "good thing"

So now we can add lying (an impeachable offense, remember?) to the charges against Jeb that the media refuses to question.

Sorry- I'm through playing patty-cake-patty-cake bakers man with Bush/media- I'm fucking LIVID. I want to know WHO he wants to be endangered- "fags?", "Chinamen?" "Spics?" I want to know.
Dont ask him once- ask him OVER AND OVER until it's an "issue"- you know, the "Dean standard"

If the SF mayoor thinks it's funny, then he can piss in his pink tu-tu as well.

Lost my sense of humor? No way- here is a funny joke for you-

Wouldnt it be a "good thing" if Jeb Bushes children were "endangered?" WHOOPS- "did I REALLY say that?"

Now is the part where you are supposed to laugh at my joke.

23. *rolls eyes*
Yeah, maybe he's lying. How do you plan on proving that? No one knows what he was thinking except for himself. And just because you seem to wish harm upon people for just being born, I would point out that Dean's comments (dumb as they were) didn't make the national media spotlight until the other DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES called him on it again and again.
(Are you always so livid? That seems as though it was be uncomfortable. Perhaps you really should try a comedy club or something.) My point is, well, it's just that we need to be a bit more optimistic about the future (though, not necessarily the next elections), and we need to have a little better sense of humor. It would help if we could be the party that most of America saw was able to take a joke.

And furthermore, to answer your question, because sometimes it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. You don't wanna go around setting a bad precedence to others with, let's say, less scruples (that's another word for moral principles).

25. That's right...sit in your little corner and roll your eyes.
People like you who have refused to call the Republicans on their outrageousness because it just "isn't becoming" are a big part of the reason why so many people have lost faith in the Democratic Party.

26. It's not ny job to "prove" anything- the MEDIA is supposed to do that
Edited on Fri Nov-14-03 04:35 AM by Dr Fate
Why do you charge ME with proving Jeb lied- the media only has (had) the power to do that...

Why didnt the media ask Jeb right after he lied- "What did you mean it would be a 'good thing' that Republicans in SF are endangered? YOU and your brother are republican and that does not make sense, so now tell us what you REALLY meant."

But they did not think of this, I guess. Funny, I'm no trained journalist, but I did. Makes me think they are covering for him...

And I dont really wish children to be "endangered" ("Did I really say that?")- I was "joking"- remember- you said we are supposed to joke a lot, so I did. You seem to think it was funny when Jeb told his version of this "joke"

Just so you know, I am not always livid- But I am livid over the media double standard. Every word by any DEM gets scrutinized, but Repigs ALWAYS get a free pass.

As far as moral principles go, I never suggested that DEMS emulate Jebs behavior and go around telling tastless jokes. I did it on DU to make a point, but of course public DEMS should not do this...

You say DEMS should go along with Bush/media and laugh it off, and that will earn us respect. I dunno, I've not been seeing that work too much.

Besides, you are asking me to have a sense of humor about somthing that is not even funny.

But peace to you- your points are not so far off, I guess. I'm off to the comedy club.

28. The out going Mayor is wrong, in my opinion...Here is what he should say:
I'm sick of being in the wimp party.

Here is the correct response-

"Jeb Bush, If you have a problem with my city, then be a man and come tell me about it to my face."

THIS would have generated positive anti-Bush press. It would show Repukes to watch what they say.

Ever called a bully on their bluff?? They ALWAYS back down.

I have a feeling most voters would have responded well to that, but the Mayor here is a lame duck anyway...

33. Amen to all...
who are tired of "calm down" democrats. People, this is WAR and when one of those idiots hands us ammunition, such as jeb's dumb statement, we are obliged to shoot it back. Enough of the Chamberlainesque appeasement approach with these animals, it is time to go Churchillian ballistic on these fuckers!
