Bush: NAACP hostile to me

Citing hostile treatment towards his administration, President Bush declined to speak at the NAACP convention for the fourth year in a row.

YORK, Pa. - President Bush said Friday that he declined an invitation to speak to the NAACP's convention in Philadelphia because of harsh statements about him by leaders of the venerable civil rights group.

''I would describe my relationship with the current leadership as basically nonexistent,'' Bush told reporters. ``You've heard the rhetoric and the names they've called me.''

---snip----

''The current leadership of the NAACP has certainly made some rather hostile political comments about the president over the past few years,'' White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, speaking to lawmakers and business leaders in Indiana last month, said Bush and other Republicans appeal to a racist ``dark underside of American culture.''

''They preach racial equality but practice racial division,'' Bond said.

``Their idea of equal rights is the American flag and Confederate swastika flying side-by-side.''

oops - I think bush* just blew GOP campaign platform of being a party of inclusiveness...

[UpInArms]

1. I'll give *Co a clue for free

buy a box of pacifiers - you're going to need them.

[Born Free]

23. bush tells NAACP to kiss his ass....

then cries because the NAACP doesn't write a love story about it, as you say he better get a box of pacifiers, because people in America are getting fed up with all his crap..

[rfranklin]

What a delicate flower this Bush boy is!

And besides, Einstein, there are some good reasons why they think you are a piece of dog shit.

[Placebo]

5. LOL

Hillarious and true!

lets just blow off the nation's largest african american organization because it's not politically convenient and they called you names!

what a MANLY MAN MAN'S MAN bush is, he's scared to go before people who called him names (deservedly)

he has no problems speaking to Bob Jones University though, right???? Yea...

[gatlingforme]

61. Yeah, Bush stating they are big bad bullies - But Bush says to the

terrorists "BRING IT ON" !!!!! LOL

[natrat]

59. ah this might be a bid for the cracker vote

they can write off the black vote anyway, what better way to motivate his base...read those scum like a book

[skooooo]

2. All of America is hostile to you George....

....and increasingly so.

[0007]

32. .....and let's include the rest of the whole world

[patdem]

3. What did he cite in the 1st year? the 2nd year?? and WHY did he go

when he was campaigning??? What changed between the time he campaigned and his 1st year he refused to meet with the NAACP???? :shrug:

[Yupster]

10. The Byrd ads

would be something that changed.

[charlyvi]

4. Poor Baby....

Of course, it would be unreasonable to expect Bush* to speak to the NAACP; try to iron out the differences--after all, they called him names!!!! Grow up shrub.

[Panono]

6. Of course, Bond is right

[jimshoes]

7. * ought to log in here...

I got some names for his dumb ass, chimp, asshat, idiot, dope, numbnuts. Please add your own.

[Buns_of_Fire]

64. Gee, I guess that means we needn't bother inviting him

to the first annual DU Convention. :shrug:

[xultar]

8. OK He is such an E'FFIN Dumb Ass, could it be that he's a WAR MONGER

Ignorant, EGO-Maniacal, JERK?

Maybe that's why they are hostile?

Maybe that is why the WORLD is hostile to his ass?

WHAT

[vi5]

9. If no other good comes of this incident....

Hopefully it mobilizes some other segments of the black community to get and vote whereas they might otherwise not. It's one thing to have the vague notion that both candidates are pretty much just rich white guys. It's another to have one of them be out and out dismissive and borderline hostile towards you.

[fdr_hst_fan]

24. But don't forget, Smirk has his

favorite lap dogs, Alan Keyes and Kinda Sleazy Rice to look out for him. Nothing like telling Black folks what you REALLY think of them, is it Smirk?

[amber dog democrat]

11. President Bunnypants

needs to get out of politics - if he can't stand criticsm.
He has not a leg to stand on and he knows is.

[Swamp Rat]

12. Bush blew it today. Bush CANNOT win the election now. Impossible.

Bush cannot win with only KKK, fundies, and neo-Nazis voting for him. Now, they have NO option but to steal the election or cancel it.

[AndyTiedye]

28. But with KKK, Fundies, neo-Nazis and Diebold Republican Electing Machinez

> Now, they have NO option but to steal the election or cancel it.

Those were the plans all along.
We are starting to hear more about plan "B" now that Bush* is in some danger of losing even with all the votes Diebold can deliver to him.

[Cha]

37. Let's not forget the terminally brain dead...

who don't fit into any of the other categories.

[ewagner]

13. Politician vs Statesman

A Statesman would ASK the NAACP if he could meet with their leadership and speak at their convention. A meeting of the minds would be effected.

A Politician (especially today) avoids communications with his opponents and shouts insults across the electronic void.

Maybe if bushy talked to them they wouldn't be hostile toward him.......ya think?

[pinto]

14. the GOP big tent? Snake oil sideshow is more apt.

[warrior1]

15. B-O-O H-O-O

.

[Democat]

16. Bush pandering to the racist vote in November

He probably doesn't want to offend people who hate black people.

[fdr_hst_fan]

25. Since he hates Black people himself;

and he call himself a "uniter".

[RoadRunner]

17. Thin skinned, ain't he?

Poor thang! Bob Boudelang's gunna' have a field day with this one.

[Democat]

18. So much for being a "uniter" - looks like Bush really is a "divider"

Sorry for the double post. :)

[MidwestMomma]

19. Oh Waah....

Where is that crying baby pic when I need it?

Bush: But Mommy, the NAACP leaders said mean things about me

Babs: That's okay son, we'll just get your brother to purge some more voters.

The arrogance of that little prick...

[samsingh]

20. poor unAmerican baby

[fdr_hst_fan]

21. Well, DUH!!!!!

[lumberingbear]

22. Would you like cheese with that whine???

[fdr_hst_fan]

26. Great line!

[Bo]

27. Who isn't hostile toward you ?

Except your wife Condi....

[Piperay]

29. Aw, gee, poor widdle georgie

boo hoo hoo :cry: maybe he is to sensitive too be pResident.

[Malva Zebrina]

30. He has played this little boy role all ofhis life. He thinks that he needs

to become the victim and then somebody, most likelyhis daddy will come to his rescue.

This is a man talking here who has never grown up.

It it up to him to bridge the gaps and to make friends where there once were enemies

This fool of an asshole, thinks that he need to berate them because they do not get along with him, the great war president


He is so incompetant and it is not funny any more. It is pathetic

[PurityOfEssence]

31. boo fucking hoo

Grownups are willing to be judged--and misjudged--on their actions; crybabies rail at how people are so mean to them.

[wolfgirl]

33. ditto! (n/t)

[SenatorBulworth]

34. Poor Boy Emperor!

those mean Negro's are so uppity!...not like the nice ones that served him drinks back at the country club. What a perfect douche bag!:mad:

[Zech Marquis]

42. this is EXACTLY how my freeper co-worker acts

she's JUST like *--a totally lazy, stupid, shit for brains jerk. Whenever the store managers try to help her sorry ass out in getting her work done, she has noting but rxcuses and lies. If she's criticized, she starts crying like a baby! AND she'l just walk off on the section manager if thigs don't go her way...

JUST like * !!!

[CBHagman]

35. Oh, yeah, it's ALL ABOUT YOU, George.

Given that the wouldn't know a water cannon, a rubber baton, or a police dog from his posterior, I don't think it's very becoming of him to prance around telling everyone how ill-used he's been by the NAACP. I mean, REALLY.

Besides, if the account in "Shrub: The Short but Happy Political Life of George W. Bush" is to believed, Bush was really cold and unsympathetic when Renee Miller (daughter of James Byrd, the victim of the murder by dragging) personally appealed to him regarding hate crimes legislation. He apparently said he hadn't even read the legislation.

Well, the ads against Bush that followed made mention of this hate crimes legislation business, plus the murder of James Byrd, and set the stage for the permanent state of hissy fit that we experience today. The Bushes remind me of the nasty joke about Irish Alzheimer's -- you forget everything but the grudges.

[Dimsdale]

36. What was Mfume supposed to do?

Crawl on his knees, kiss Chimpy's ass and beg for forgiveness? Once again, pResident
D-bag issues a proclamation. Why the rift between the NAACP and the GOP? Why, it's the NAACP's fault, of course. He's only to speak the words to make it so.

[wildeyed]

38. Bush received only 9 percent of the black vote in 2000.

I suspect he will receive, like, 0% this year after those comments. I guess he is trying to energize his racist base. And his homophobic base and anyone else he can divide or scare.

This administration is so thin skinned it's almost crazy. What a bunch of babies.

[natrat]

60. definitly....how friggin obvious are they

[gulliver]

39. "I ignore everyone who doesn't agree with me."

"Not just blacks. That way it's fair." (apologies to, I think, W.C. Fields)

[truthisfreedom]

40. gee, george... did rove say you could say that? ARE YOU COMPLETELY

UNHINGED? what a total c*ckup. you realize what you just did? you played right into the NAACP's hand... you could have embraced them... but instead you showed paranoia... which is what they feel about you. being bigger than those who hate you and mistrust you is the key to understanding, george, but bushco is incapable of thinking about that.

you see, georgie-poo, just like the corrupt corporate dog-eat-dog environment you come from, you can't handle the presidency with any decorum, nor can dick the f-bomb. that's because you guys run it like a two-bit smash-and-grab mafia, with a sneer and a mob of thugs, rather than the incredibly powerful, benevolent position it is supposed to represent. when Kerry and Edwards take over the store, georgie, then you can watch how a government is supposed to be run.

now go sit down before you lose concentration because you can't stay on-task, fall and get another bruise on your face.

[Bundbuster]

41. Way to unite the Black vote, you scumbag racist pig

[hyphenate]

43. Hopefully

some will listen. Hopefully the NAACP holds enough influence to vote appropriately in November. Get rid of this bozo once and for all.

[bullimiami]

44. Satan : "Jesus hostile to me"

No shit sherlock. They didnt bow to the chimp so told them to go cheney themselves.

[latebloomer]

45. all I can say is

:nopity:

[playahata1]

46. That is because YOU -- and by extension, YOUR PARTY --

have been hostile to black people, Boy George!

Has anyone ever taught you that to GET respect, you have to GIVE respect?

[fortyfeetunder]

47. He thinks the NAACP is harsh on him?

He ain't seen nothin' yet.

When was the last time the Chimp visited DU? Especially all the captioned pictures in the Lounge?

[DemoTex]

48. Pooh!

Bu$h is just following his racist family instinct. They love to hate people of color. But they kind of, sometimes, every now and then, love "Slappy" Thomas. They must cringe though - knowing - that they can only play that strange fiddle so long, before the strings break. They all sound very sharp now, to me.

[SayitAintSo]

49. Bush is a spineless weenie...

I hope this backfires on him BIG TIME.

[indie_voter]

50. Boo cheney Hoo n/t

[Octafish]

51. Bush Laughed at "Hanging" King Portrait in the White House.

The sanitized transcript doesn't do it justice. George W Bush LAUGHED at what he'd said.

http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/civilrights/s012102.htm

Here's the orginal version I read.

http://www.usembassy-israel.org.il/publish/peace/archives/2002/january/012308.html

SINK The BFEE!

[antigone382]

53. He's just afraid of all the boos he'd get

You should have seen all the protesters when he went down to Atlanta on MLK Day this year. The funny thing was * walking to MLK's grave with his little wreath, visibly trying to look dignified while people all around him were booing. He tried to look like he didn't care, but you could see the mingled fear and rage written on his face. I *almost* felt sorry for him.



Wait, no I didn't! It was hysterical.

[Octafish]

63. Great report! It's like being there and seeing Smirko cringe!

Nothing hurts these turds like the Truth. In addition to standing up to the Reich, protesters help idiots like Bush recognize their own political illegitimacy.

Great story! Ha ha ha ha!!!!

BTW: A hearty welcome to DU, antigone382. What do you think about Creon?

[Amaya]

52. Spoiled rotten asshole

nt

[Geo55]

54. Any ways

All those people callin' me names are crimminls an' ain't alow'd ta vote !

[calimary]

55. The "Big Tent" is nothing but a BIG SHEET!

With a pointy head!!

[CBHagman]

66. Great line!

"The 'Big Tent' is nothing but a big sheet -- with a pointy head!"

Can we use that?

[Sweetpea]

56. It was the 4th year in a row

I guess the great "negotiator" has learned how to mend fences as each year passes by.

[radfringe]

57. I have this "image" rumbling around in my brain

bush* and Rove sitting around, the door opens, an aide rushes in -

Aide: Mr. President, the Jews are saying you are screwing things up!"

Rove: F**k the Jews, they don't vote for us anyways

Aide: Mr. President, the NAACP are launching some critical ads

bush*: F**k the blacks, they don't vote for us anyways

Aide: Mr. President, NOW is organizing a protest

Rove: F**k the women, they don't vote for us anyways

Aide: Mr. President, Muslim and Islamic-American groups are calling for your resignation

bush*: F**k the Muslims, they don't vote for us anyways

Aide: but, but, Mr. President, who does that leave that will vote for you?

bush* leans back and points to a picture thumbtacked to the wall --

[fujiyama]

58. Waaah!

Hey Bush...Go Cheney yourself!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

62. OK so the Irish give him a real interview and he cries foul, he's asked

about ENRON and he huffs off taking his ball home, the NAACP calls him out as the POS that he is and he gets all weepy.....on and on - the whole fucking world hates you George - except those too ignorant to see the forrest for the trees.

Your days are numbered moran!!!

[Window]

65. Sticks and stones may hurt my bones...

but calling me names hurt worse. WAAAAAH!
