Free Barney NOW! Tomorrow is TOO Late!






This is animal abuse pure and simple.

The eyes are the window to the soul and Barney clearly hates his master.

Barney is a Proud Democrat and he hates every single minute of being in the same space as the Chimp!

8. Nostamj you are a real Barney Hero!


I love your Barney pictures!

Did you create them because you cared so much for our little Democrat in the WH?

We must save Barney NOW!

52. How much does Barney weigh?

I am still extremely worried that he should not be carried under Chimp's left arm while he waves with the right.

This is endangerment!

4. Pee on his leg, Barney!
Take a healthy crap in the rose garden. Bite Cheyney in the dick. C'mon, Barney - makes us proud. Pee on Laura's stash. It's in her bedroom in the bottom of the nightstand.

He is made of fur and he is endangered in the WH of Bush!

And to think that they are allowed to have a new dog to abuse.

6. BINGO for Barney!


Look at poor Barney, injured because his master dropped him.
See the horror in the eyes of the children!

I wish I could see a video of this scene.
If I dropped my dog like that I would be on my knees holding him and kissing him.
Notice the Chimp and his Chimpstress just looking on.

10. Barney has a new Christmas Video on his website
The Barney Cam welcomes the new puppy, Miss Beazly... oh NO now there's too poor pooches living in chimpland....

http://www.whitehouse.gov/barney/

We paid for the dogs website, might as well watch his new video...

You can see it in his eyes, he's living in pure unadulterated hell!!

14. Freeing Barney is Important


IMO, Barney is a clear example of what this gang of crooks is all about...if you can't treat your dog with respect, how will you treat the people of this country!


Does anyone have that picture of the dog abuser carrying Barney off of the plane?

How much does Barney weigh?

He should never be carried, in my mind, under the arm of someone exiting a plane.

12. Yeah, but that new "carpetbagger" pup Miss Beazley will soon
take over "mugging" for the camera. I bet Barney will be relieved that he doesn't have to put up with all those jerks.

Laura couldn't even hold them (the cat and Barney) in a natural way (embracing and close to her body) at the end ... heaven forbid if some pet hair would get on her purdy jacket!

Someone else raised Barney and someone else will be the master of the new female pup for Pickles.

As such, the video came across as blatantly tacky, if not condescending toward both humanity and the animal kingdom.

However, it's good for a laugh because the acting sucks pond water! LOL

If I know K9 behavior (and I do <g>), they'll have a difficult time socializing that new pup with Barney. It's natural to be jealous and I'd bet money he'll nip her in the a** a time or two before she realizes that he's Alpha. LOL

You go Barney, we love you best!

20. On one Xmas Video Pickles had the nerve to say
Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 11:41 AM by goclark
"Come on animals," as she was giving a tour of the WH.

I was so mad.

What dog lover would ever say that, what about calling them by their names?

Now you can tell that the two doggies in the picture above are loved and adored by their family.


Maybe we could offer to adopt the WH pets.

25. You have a Barney too?
My dog Barney is DEFINITELY a Democrat, and the fact that Chimp has a dog named Barney is very annoying to me. Perhaps all of our Barneys can get together and bake The First Dog a cake with a file in it.

Here is MY Barney:

30. Forbidden To See Your Image
Image didn't show up of your Barney, and when i try to hit that link, i get "FORBIDDEN" message.

Mine is a yellow lab. Big boy! 110#! I would just send him over and bust Barney Bush out, but he's kind of a Nancy. If it's raining, the whole mission would bust, because my Barney won't go outside in the rain!

I figured it out. Here is my Barney. He is obsessed with frisbees. I don't know, I think he is cuter than Shrub's Barney, but I may be a tad bit biased.

35. Oh. He's a Big Boy Too!
Big dogs don't have to be cute! If they are, it's a bonus! I tell my dog he's an ugly, ugly dog. Of course, he now responds to "Hey Ugly Boy!" He doesn't know it's an insult, though. He knows its a term of affection. Somehow they just know who loves 'em.

36. He is big but
he still manages to find his way into my lap if I sit in the recliner. He sleeps in our bed too. Maybe when we have kids that will change, but for now he IS our kid. And yes, they are keenly aware of who loves them. Dogs are great!

32. Free Barney
That little movie probably cost US taxpayers several thousand dollars. And they have the nerve to put something in there about the 3 boxes of tinsel at 79 cents a box. And oye, Rove's performance with the blue balls and his comment on Ohio. Gods, but I really can't stand the idiots in the White House ("Barney, I know you wanted to be in my cabinet but I've got a more important job for you.") At least Barney showed his feelings by playing with the red balls.

After seeing the picture of Rove, I think I saw him in a motorcade last night. As the limo passed I got the definite aura of death, doom, and destruction. I work in DC at Penn Ave and 22nd St.

And one last thing - notice that Pickles said Happy Holiday? Wonder how long it will be until one of their fundy base calls to complain?

53. Should we send comments to the website about Barney?


Maybe they really just don't get it.

Maybe they just don't understand that from a dog lovers point of view, they are abusing Barney.

55. copyright
pretty much any photo taken by someone is that person's creative property if they want to contest it. You don't necessarily need to apply for a written copyright for it. Copyright is assumed to be the property of the photog or the business they work for. Obviously they don't have the resources to police every website but I suspect a freebarney website might garner some extra attention.
