Another Staged Photo-Op in Utah. Crowds Given Free Tickets & Signs by Gov.

What a shock I tell ya. Buried in this AP article is truth for a change. Too bad Ed Henry on CNN has no clue that this adoring crowd was brought in by the Governor to counter the MASSIVE anti-war/bush protests for today. :eyes:

<snip>

Tickets for the airport arrival were distributed by the governor's office and members of Utah's congressional delegation to counter anti-war demonstrations attracting attention elsewhere in the city. The airport crowd was lit with flood lights and given signs that said "Utah Loves President Bush," generating a campaign rally atmosphere.

2. Hitler rally time.
i noticed bush is screaming the tired words now, like hitler, adding volume and fake passion to the now boring phrases.

bush zombies all handpicked for their cheering abilities, like bush himself.

4. I even saw the flags on his limo
just like adolf. It is pretty scary how in every respect he is like him. Except Hitler had a brain and wasn't the front man for anyone.

3. Propaganda. Adolf Hitler, a close friend of Bush's Grandfather, wrote
the book on it. Bush is just following its guidelines. NAZI!

So much of what we see in The Bush Administration comes straight from Adolf Hitler/Nazi Germany/The Third Reich/Gestapo era. It's shameful and despicable.

6. Bunnypants brought those signs WITH him?
Absolutely pathetic. Man, are the Repubs going to lose BIG in November.

Think about it.. there were no grassroots supporters with enough will (or guts) to bring supporters and their signs to this "rally". Shrubbolini had to supply them hismself.

And in the bluest of states.

9. Aren't those home made signs?
Didn't those loyal fans bring them from home where they made them with magic markers and crayons? :sarcasm:

11. Nope, they're from the Halliburton Sign Division
The same ones who made the "Mission Accomplished" banner.

7. The quote you used
is no longer in that article? Either they edited it, or you've posted the wrong link?

My guess? It's the former.

10. You're right!
Darn that liberal media. Always hiding the truth about how popular our President is.

12. It figures he would do this in one of the few states
where he still has a high approval rating. I doubt BushCo could pull it off anymore in many of the other red states.
