G.H.W. Bush Saddened By "Incivility"
Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 08:24 PM by MannyGoldstein
In an interview with Charles Gibson on ABC, G.H.W. Bush said:

"Charles, it's depressing in a sense 'cause there's, there's a climate of incivility that worries me. Hostility … makes singling out people that disagree with you because there's a difference on an issue or something, and that's not good. I'm not sure it's brand new, that kinda divisiveness. But I, I don't like it, and I think it discourages some people from getting into public life. But I hope it'll pass and I hope we come together and work together and all of that."

Holy cow. It's like a rapist getting angry because his victim didn't have the courtesy to fake an orgasm.

I genuinely think that he and his namesake are sociopaths - they have no idea of how evil they are.

5. He CREATED this incivility!
The little fucking nincompoop has been traveling across America telling everyone who will listen that Democrats want the country to be attacked again! That "Democrats don't think we should listen in on terrorists telephone conversations". The lying little weasel creates this incivility then accuse everyone else of doing it! :banghead: I HATE THAT LITTLE TWERP! :grr: Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Fuck his entire family, they should all get cancer and DIE!

How's THAT for "incivility" you brain-dead piece of shit! :mad:

19. Can't think of much to add to that. He complains?!??!?!!?!??
Hell, he and his lee atwaters (at whose knee kkkarl AND little georgie-poo junior studied with rapt attention) CAUSED THIS. THEY'RE the ones who brought this shit to the mainstream in the first place. Scorched Earth Politics. They made it their trademark.

9. Yeah, it was terrible when Dukakis ran those Willie Horton ads
against you. Oh wait a minute that was you who did it, wasn't it. All your son has done is take the political lessons he learned from you and drive them to a much lower level.

10. “You f*******g son of a bitch,” Bush yelled.
In 1986, for instance, Bush spotted Wall Street Journal political writer Al Hunt and his wife Judy Woodruff having dinner at a Dallas restaurant with their four-year-old son. Bush was steaming over Hunt’s prediction that Jack Kemp – not then-Vice President George H.W. Bush – would win the Republican presidential nomination in 1988.

Bush stormed up to the table and cursed Hunt out. “You fucking son of a bitch,” Bush yelled. “I saw what you wrote. We’re not going to forget this.”

Later in the campaign, when Newsweek ran a cover story with the image of George H.W. Bush on a boat with the headline, “Fighting the Wimp Factor,” a furious George W. Bush enforced a year-long punishment of Newsweek by barring the magazine’s reporters from access to key campaign insiders.

12. I didn't see an apology for the Willie Horton ad in there
or the Dukakis in the tank ad. Lee Atwater apologized for this on his death bed. Will Bush Sr.?

18. fukkin hero pilot, bailed out on his injured crewmen...
bush and his ilk have been getting away with murder for generations (see the 'maine', the lusitania, pearl harbour, JFK murder, gulf of tonkin, watergate, october surprise, the kal 007 shootdown, 2k election, 911, iraq war etc) ...what he's really pissed off at is that his dopefukked kid has exposed the murderous lot, and nothing their mediawhores say or do can hide the fact: these people are criminals, and traitors to boot. 'Enemy combatants' is a good term for them! (ghw bush is the only adult on earth who says he don't know where he was/what he doing on nov 22/63! i was a child in grade school yet i remember exactly where i was, and everything else.... iow oldbush was somehow involved in the jfk murder)

22. Last I remember
Edited on Sun Oct-08-06 06:35 AM by fujiyama
it was Bush who ran a nasty campaign in '88 trying to scare white people into beleiving that Dukakis would release black rapists into the streets...

And it's been the sole tactic of the right to paint liberals as terrorists, unpatriotic, traitors, appeasers. Hell, they even had a picture of a decorated veteran next to Osama! Of course, they later had several hacks come out and slander another decorated veteran. All this by the work of his son and his henchmen.

And he's one to talk of civility after his nasty wife claimed that the Katrina victims were better off afterwards? or that she didn't want news of soldiers returning in body bags to ruin her beautiful brain?

Hey Bush, here's a very uncivil, but sincere FUCK YOU, to you and your entire worthless family.

23. He called Clinton and Gore 'Bozos' while demanding they show him respect
What a hypocrite and I have lost respect for Clinton for cozying up to him so much.

26. Hmmm, perhaps civility died in the US
around the time Cheney told Pat Leahy to "Go fuck yourself" on the house floor.
