Is Bush Any different than Charles Manson?
Edited on Thu Jul-17-03 02:44 AM by Must_B_Free
And if so, How?

I sure as hell don't see any difference other than the number of people murdered.

And I'll clarify that:

First, substitute "Jesus" for "LSD".

Then, both men appear to have told lies to persuade other people to kill for their deranged purpose.

These people belong in jail with Manson. Take Dick "Squeaky" Cheney with him.

5. I challenge that
Think Ollie North. Manson technically fits the bill for "hero" status by Bush criteria. Shouldn't Manson have a talk show on Fox by now?

7. Au contraire. . .
there's considerable proof to show Charles Manson has directed members of his family to slay people long after he was imprisoned. Helter Skelter details at least two such incidents, including one where the victim was killed in London. And too, there's evidence to support the idea Charlie directed Lynette "Squeeky" Fromm to attempt to assassinate President Ford.

We should take this as an object lesson that, even were we to see BushCo disposed of upon the ashcan of history, they may yet continue to meddle in the affairs of decent, law abiding people.

6. * has a higher body count, Charlie's had more sex...
Edited on Thu Jul-17-03 03:17 AM by rezmutt


Other than that, a cult leader by any other name...

Add on edit: Also, Charlie was a more compelling public speaker, he didn't require notes and could improvise off-script.

10. He's completely different
He doesn't have a swastika carved into his forehead (that we can see, anyway) and he's not in jail where he should be.

12. You Owe Chucky an Apology
Manson may be an insane and evil mass murderer, but he believes what he says is true. I think that this makes him more moral than Bush, even though they are about the same in their actions.
