Wait a minute..I thought Bush couldn't do the NAACP because of scheduling?

Isn't that what the Bushies said earlier this week?

Bush to Skip NAACP Meeting Due to Hostile Comments

KUTZTOWN, Pa. (Reuters) - President Bush has decided not to speak to the country's largest civil rights group, the White House said on Friday, citing openly hostile comments by its leaders about the president.

The White House initially attributed Bush's decision not to accept the invitation to speak at the NAACP annual convention to a scheduling conflict. The convention opens on Saturday in Philadelphia.

But White House spokesman Scott McClellan, traveling with Bush on a campaign bus trip through Pennsylvania cited "hostile political rhetoric about the president" from the group's leaders.

"It's disappointing to hear," McClellan said.

1. Welllll, its hard to pencil in "hostile political rhetoric about the

president". They won't have any time available on their schedule for "hostile political rhetoric about the president" until 2005.
Sorry - I'll pencil you in for Jan. 2005, end of the month, how's that?

8. I read another

article about this in today's LA Times. That article said Bush is the first president since Herbert Hoover not to speak to the NAACP, and he last spoke there in 2000.

[merh]

11. Bush is a coward. He can only speak to captive audiences of supporters

They ship in his crowds. He hasn't the nerve to speak before a crowd that might contain dissenters.

Chickensh**! evil Chickensh**!

3. Loved this line in the article-

Said President Bush-"You've heard their rhetoric (pretty big word for him, no?) and the names they've called me." :cry: :cry::cry::cry::cry: Rather thin-skinned, aren't you, Dubya?

4. what a pussy

(sarcasm on) He thought Clinton was a weenie in hot water, hell, that was lukewarm compared the stew he's in now. Why can't be a big bad ass cowboy and put the NAACP in its place? (sarcasm off)

5. Yeah. Just another lie.

They really don't have any choice but to lie.

On Crossfire the other day, Carville cited scheduling conflicts, and Nofacts spouted the "they were mean to him, and I don't blame him for not going" line. Well, which is it, drooler? A scheduling conflict or they were not kissing his ass sufficiently? Carville didn't respond, but "time" had run out.

6. What A Week For The Evil Empire...

Talked to a friend in So. Florida and the combination of Kerry picking Edwards and the ruling against the Jebster to throw mostly blacks off the voter rolls in Florida is going very, very well in the black community.

It appears the Kerry campaign has been planning their work and working their plan there as Kerry/Edward signs were starting to pop up all over South Miami and I'm told voter registration has really picked up over the past couple weeks. There's more I could say but this would "out" my source...but let it be said that there's a lot of work going on in the black community to energize the vote against this regime...especially in Southern Florida.

Face it...if Bunnypants were to speak to the NAACP, we'd all call it totally disengenuious, so better he stick with Joe Paterno (how thick are those lenses???) and in his own little Private Idaho Green Zone. The more he remains detached...the more we energize. I like this synergy a lot!

Cheers and the work goes on!

7. The behavior of a spoiled

child throwing a temper tantrum for not getting his way. Poor little bully can't handle the truth! It's hard to believe this person is the president of the most powerful country, I have nightmares.

9. Calling him names? terrible rhetoric?

For Pete's sake George.

First you insult every voter in Florida by laughing about their inability to vote (me included).

Then you tell every American that "you are with me or against me".

On top of that you tell every American that they are unpatriotic if they do not agree with you.

You have let every American know that if they are not Christian,they are hopeless.

You consistently devalue women by excluding access to birth control, medical services and even after 1M march to be heard.

Yeah....terrible rhetoric. Hurts, doesn't it?

10. RE:"It's disappointing to hear," McClellan said.

How about Go F yourself then Mr. McClellan?

Taxpayers and veterans get hostile when you throw their votes in the trash! I know I did! What if we all told the IRS to Go F themselves, because we don't want to finance Halliburton and their ilk Scott? Bush's lies are "disappointing to hear,"!
