It would certainly explain WHY things have been quiet lately, as IF * NEVER had any daughters!

47. It IS funny, isnt it? I mean, this is the "Pro Family" party and the Prez
is NEVER seen with his daughters. Scary. I agree with another DU'r on another thread... I have NEVER missed Clinton so much as i have in the last few weeks.

Understandable.

We know Bu$h* grossly abused illegal drugs. Why wouldn't such a degenerate also abuse his daughters? It's a very coke-head thing to do...

100. I've seen them with their mother
but rarely with their father. I don't know what to make of this. As much as I despise Dubya and want to see him gone, I really hope this isn't true, for his daughters' sake.

why would anybody trust him with the country?

Bu$h is an unfit father and an unfit pResident.

182. It is FAIR GAME
Pat Robertson repeatedly accused Hillary of being a lesbian witch.

Turnabout is fair play.

Nice to know that the PRESS WHORES cover up the FACT, which is an AWOL cocaine addicted bisexual (who slept with Victor Ashe and Larry Gattlin) who illegally sits in Al Gore's House, molested his kids.

Hmm...How will THAT play on 19th Century Fox???????

5. For the girls' sake, I hope it's not true, but...
...if it is true, I do hope it comes to light.

It's not the girls' fault that their father is an amoral tyrant. But if Pickles knew about it and did nothing, that's inexcusable.

7. Well, while I can believe an awful lot of horrible things about
Bush... and I truly detest him... even I have trouble believing he would have sexually abused one of his daughters. So, if there is anyt truth to this (and it is not simply a wild hoax), I hope someone is really prepared to handle this right. The lengths the Repugs would go to hush this kind of thing us, is truly frightening to consider.

64. Why wouldn't you believe it?
It happens, and it often goes hand in hand with substance abuse issues, not to mention the creepy fundamentalist overtones. This particular scumbag has shown himself to be a sociopath who is willing to destroy the lives of millions for nothing but filthy lucre and power. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

68. Probably because I have a hard time believing ...
that ANYONE would do this to their daughter. Yes, I do know things like this happen.

I'll wait for evidence before I draw any conclusions. While I am human enough to admit that I'd dearly love a horrendously embarrassing scandal to take Bush down, I'd hate, for Jenna's sake for this to be true.

78. Because he never seems to be that interested in them.
Also, the girls clearly have it in for him. Because he abused them or because he simply ignored them?

I wouldn't be prepared to say. I do believe the girls would always deny it in public so there isn't much point to pursuing it.

I would sincerely like to see George hang, but this ain't the charge we can get him on.

101. Remember when Bu$h was dancing with Jenna at the inaugural ball,
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 11:52 AM by Vitruvius
and he 'accidentally' stepped on her dress, pulling it down and exposing her breasts? It was creepy -- like Daddy was taking a (last) look.

And now this probable scandal. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's true.


In any case, I'm glad the daughters are smart enough to stay as far away from Daddy as possible. He and his zoned-out robot wife give me the creeps.

Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 12:07 AM by JaySherman
No child should ever have to live through being molested, especially by a parent. Expressing joy about this on the basis of political interest just puts us on a level with the freepers.

Edit: On the other hand, if it turns out be true the man should do the perp walk straight from the White House to the Big House.

37. It's not about him
It's about the poor kid that has to live with that. Given that alcoholism and abuse often go hand in hand, it's not out of the question that he did at some point. She exhibits symptoms of abuse in her bahavior. The child has probably been emotionally neglected her whole life, and could be the victim of emotion abuse as well. Her actions constitute a classic cry for help. But it's still something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I've had friends who have been abused. It ruins your life.

The credibility is also in doubt. Too bad no one with lucky timing and a quick mouse was able to do a screen capture and save the page offline, if it ever even existed.

We should hold Bu$h accountable for ALL his crimes -- and that includes digging into his probable molestation of his daughters.

151. It is almost certainly a hoax, but if it were true, or if the daughter
says it's true it most certainly would be an issue for the Democrats and the Country.

Think of it we can add pervert child molester to the list.

12. Wow! Not on Reuters, though
Searched on the Reuters website (cites Reuters at end of article). But then, you said it was pulled immediately. There will be bodies washed up before Rove will let this get out. The reporter who wrote this better go into hiding, or is dead. Limbaugh and Hannity would spin it somehow (probably desperate Dems go too far). Better be some solid evidence before the charge is thrown around, or at least the police report corroborated by the officer taking it (before he, she or they disappear, too).

Not to mention terrible grammar in the original post/story. I find it hard to believe an actual reporter would use grammar that poor, unless he/she was a visiting foreign journalist.

However, I feel very sorry for the young Ms Bush if this is true.

84. The thing is, if it is true, then it has
already happened and nobody is wishing anything on anybody. Something is terribly wrong in that family, and to expose his hypocracy would only be justice for the way he has f**ed the entire country.

Besides, I think his daughter would like to see him taken down almost as much as we would.

72. No one's refusing to help
I'm willing to bet the majority of DU'ers reading this thread have already done some checking around. No one has found anything verifible yet. Posting an a completely uncredible story involving rumors of a sex scandal to smear your enemy? That sounds decidedly freeper-like to me. If we're attacking you, it's because there are people other than DU'ers who read this site, including freepers, and none of us want to be lumped in with them or give them any more reason to attack us. Progressives/liberals get enough bad press. We don't need to create more ourselves.

It's too poorly written, vague and far-fetched to be believed. Why would Jenna wait until she was 19 to come forward, and why to a shrink supposedly asking about her underage drinking?

Remember, there are still people that call into talk shows accusing Clinton of rape and murder. Let's not become like those idiots.

I would, however, be fascinated to know the real reason the Bush twins never visit the WH and seem to avoid their parents. They sure don't seem like a very close family.

56. Anyone remember the Inaugural Ball when the one twins dress
Fell down and exposed her breast and Jr started laughing?

As I remember it the strap on her dress broke and it fell down exposing one of her boobs or both of them. Jr backed up and looked down at her instead of taking his jacket off immediate.
He was laughing like it was funny and he had an odd look like he didn't mind her boobs being exposed.

I immediately thought that the piece of shit was sick in the head. He didn't react like a Dad.

Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 01:01 PM by Vitruvius
Bu$h does know how to Make It Happen On Purpose (MIHOP).

And yes, that incident gave many of us the creeps. I, for one, am not a bit surprised that Bu$h* may have molested his daughters.

Add to that Bu$h's gross substance abuse, and the long-time rumors that GHWB is a pedophile (which would suggest he might have molested GWB), and it looks like GWB fits the profile of a child molester.

Somewhere along the line something has happened in his past that he wants to forget.

I use to think that it was Bab's and she beat her kids and that is why they ended up criminals, liars and drug & alcohol abusers but It might be a combination of both. Pops is the pedophile and Babs was the child beater.

159. here ya go...
From the authoritative "nippleslips.com". Caption: "Uh, Dad, my eyes are up here!" The president cheerfully inspects the area of concern.



"Jenna Bush rocketed in nipple searches after a strapless gown mishap at George W.'s inaugural ball in January 2001. Attempting to twirl his daughter gracefully around the dance floor, the president's cuff-link snagged the top of her dress, providing a much more impressive display than he'd intended. ABC broadcast the incident from behind her, but just when you think rating-hungry media outlets know no bounds, none of them will publish more revealing photos of the incident."

172. Sounds like Bu$h's hands were where they should not have been --
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 10:03 PM by Vitruvius
if "Bu$h's cuff-link snagged the top of her strapless dress".

What, exactly, was Bu$h doing with his hand at or near the top of his daughter's low-cut strapless dress?

And if Bu$h 'accidentally' pulled down the front of his daughter's dress, allegedly with his cuff-link, his hand had to have been right there as well. What was Bu$h doing with his hand?

Are there more pix -- or video? Was this televised? Did anyone happen to make a tape? Does anybody work for a TV station or network and have access to pix or video?

If Bu$h was "doing an Ahnuld" to his own daughter, in public, he's surely done worse in private. And the public "Ahnulding" alone could be the end of him with his fundamentalist base.


P.S: Interesting how most of the mainstream print media said that Bu$h had 'accidentally' stepped on his daughter's dress, pulling it down. Thus avoiding the question of where Bu$h's hands were and what he was doing with them.

165. Yeah, I didn't have the stomach to watch
but a friend of mine did, and he brought up the incident the next day, saying that he found Dubya's response to his daughter's exposed nipple extremely inappropriate and disturbing. He said it reminded him of his ex-girlfriend's dad, who had done some awful things to his ex-girlfriend. Made us both go "ewww-I hope that hasn't been happening"! I still hope it hasn't been happening, but if it has he deserves no less treatment from the press than Jacko does.

It may or may not be true, but sexual abuse is VERY common in alcoholic families, and judging from shrubs moral character, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

If you don't think it's true, fine, but it amazes me that so many people on this board immediately discount any evil news about him. The thing is, if you don't know for certian that it's false, why rush to defend him?

176. Because it's so poorly written. It smells like an amateur smear...
They did the same shit to Clinton: bastard children, murders of random associates (every suicide is under "unexplained circumstances"), connections to drug dealers and land swindlers. Only the paranoiac Right Wingers like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Bob Barr believed it, or pretended to.

It was wrong because it was dirty pool. I'm certainly willing to believe that abuse can happen in "good families", but the format here is classic internet urban legend: multi-caret forewarding of poorly written prose touching on hot button issues that are more damaging to to deny than ignore.

Of course the bastard who started this rumor our of pure meanness is no doubt being tracked down by Ashcroft's cyber-cops with all their access to private emails & such. Another Carnivore victim folks. I'd rather defend a flag-burner than the shit who did this.

65. Sounds pretty fishy to me, too
and no, I am not, and never will be a bush supporter.

The story sounds like something that someone dreamt up when fantasizing about how to really nail bush's butt to the wall.

OR

if you like a conspiracy theory, it could have been tossed out there by a freeper, who wanted to see us all jump on the story, just to make the dems look horribly hateful and drum up sympathy for the bush family for the cruel attack.

Either way, as the mother of a 19-year-old daughter, I have never liked the use of kids as political weapons. So if this story is someone's fabrication, I hope it just fades away into the woodwork.

112. True...
Like I posted below, if Rush got something like this on Clinton, he'd lead off his noon show about this, and then the other right wing media would pick up on it and keep pounding on it, demanding an investigation, demanding documents through Freedom of Information, etc, etc, until more legitimate news sources start picking up on it and giving it an air of truthfulness. Maybe he'd accuse Bill of bestiality (sex with the white house dog)

Here in CT, our illustrious governor (who recently retained a high powered attorney) had an incident where his ex-wife called the police on him for reasons that nobody will ever know because the police chief and good friend of the governor blocked/refused FOI requests on the incident. So, it can happen... and, after it was blocked, the story mysteriously died. The Democrats were too polite to bring it up as an issue and force a confrontation.

any of the Bushes. I don't know if drinking was involved or not. This one needs to be left alone. It was just a tragic accident by a young girl.

I do not agree with attacking Bush via his family. Laura has not assumed a prominent political role but instead is a traditional first lady.

I am saying that Laura is a non combatant and therefore not to be attacked as a way of attacking her husband. I feel that a politician's family should be left alone.

Not that Emperor Bunnyoants* wouldn't sodomize his daughters, but that the Busheviks would allow this to get out under any circumstances.

On the odd chance this is true, there is going to be some dead people showing up in the back obituary pages (but nowhere else)

I'm sure Rush would be leading his noon program with this hot story of how Bill abused poor Chelsea, all the while cautioning that it may not be true.... and then Faux news and other right wing talk shows would pick up on it and repeat the charges until they started taking on a legitimacy (a usually open-minded Republican friend of mine believed that there must be smoke where there is fire in regards to Clinton and Paula Jones and others...)

Besides which, we all need more information. So I await developments. Absent such developments any story will die; with such developments, the story will grow.

I will wait & see what happens, and I urge you to do the same. And not be too quick to say "it can't be". I put nothing past a drunken sociopathic doper like Dubya.

In the meantime, take a look at the picture in Minstrelboy's post #159 of Dubya leering down at his daughter's anatomy after he embarrassed her in public. No decent father would do what he did, no decent father would leer at her after.

Do you really think the local police would give a psychological exam to someone who got a ticket for buying a drink in a restaurant?

Also, the "this was pulled from the wires within minutes" is classic myth. It relieves the author of the responsibility of proving its true.

Stop falling for this blatantly phony crap, people. Bush has already done more than enough in public to hang himself.

P.S: I do agree tho' that we need more info. But I am not prepared to dismiss this matter; Bu$h allegedly molesting his daughters is thoroughly consistent with his gross substance abuse and thorougly consistent with his behavior at the inaugural ball, where he 'accidentally' stepped on Jenna's dress, thereby pulling it down & exposing her breasts, then stepped back, looked at her, and laughed.

Bu$h* is one sick puppy. And capable of anything.

103. There's all sort of interesting stories circulating about the twins
here in Austin. This is the first I've ever heard of anything this horrible though.

I'm sure there are enough Texas DU'rs...hell, even enough Austin DU'rs who can do a little digging. Most likely the story isn't true, but then again the sad truth is that the number of girls who get molested is much higher than we want to believe.

While I dislike Bush, I have nothing against Jenna or Barbara and I hope this is not true. No one deserves this. If it did happen...well may he get his 3 fold.

109. I don't beleive it, but there is something wrong the dynamics of
that family. I feel for those girls. For a man who takes as many vacations as Bush* does, I cannot remember one instance where he spent any of it with his children. If he were really a 'family man', the right wing would be eating this Family Values trait up the wazzoo. You don't even see mom and daughters together.

When Jenna appeared in court, neither parent stood by her side. I really didn't expect dad to show up, but it would have been nice if mom was there, or if it were a security issue to appear in or around the courthouse, at least be in town for her.

One never knows what goes on in other people's family.

In my lifetime, the following presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Clinton were all truly family oriented.

110. Well we KNOW for a fact
that the Bushies are Skull & Bones which sounds like pretty sick shit - sleeping in coffins, detailing their sex lives - it has been rumored for years that Bush Sr. is a pedophile, it has been rumored that Bush has a gay boyfriend in Tennessee and Hatfield wrote in "Fortunate Son" - I believe - that when asked what he and his father discuss - he replied "pussy - that's all we ever talk about".

It is not beyond the realm of imagination that this could be one very sick, evil family - he loves war, death and destruction way too much to be above anything else. He is undoubtedly a psychopath and a sociopath - so in my mind - this is not that far of a strech given everything else they are capable of. Whether true or not - it still makes one wonder - and since we never get the truth about anything - all we have is wonder.

113. I tried to clean up the text
in my editor (I probably got the paragraph breaks wrong). I also Googled and only found this on one website, a blog:
http://shades.dgrundy.com/
you have to scroll down, it's near the bottom of the page at November 18.
(or use your browser's search feature to find it fast).


Republican workers in Austin, the Texas state capital and a very liberal Democrat stronghold, are busy trying to quash rumors circulating about George W. Bush's past concerning his out of control twin-daughters, Barbara and Jenna Bush.

Apparently, both Texas Monthly and the Austin-American Statesman have been handed reports from the Austin Police department police Department detailing a psychologist's examination of Jenna Bush relating to her arrest for unlawful behavior on May 29, 2001.

In this detailed report, in depth questions about her and her sisters' childhood were asked, especially concerning her at that time alcoholic father. People who have seen the document say that it, if real, contains a political bombshell for both the current President's re-election possibilities, and even the puts a cloud over the possibility of him finishing his full-term.

If the document were genuine, in normal circumstances, one would then have to question the truth of the allegations made by Jenna Bush. However, the fact that the President's daughter has made allegations of sexual abuse and sodomy against her father, albeit in a confidential setting, alone would wreck any Republican chances in the November 2004 race. It would also undermine his brother Jeb's chances of retaining the Florida Governorship, especially as Governor Jeb Bush's own daughter, Noelle was caught faking prescriptions for drugs.

Journalists in Austin have been trying to investigate rumors that Karl Rove, an assistant to George W. Bush, was in contact with the Austin P.D. each time the sisters were arrested. Travis County D.A. Ronnie Earle has subpoenaed the papers, and put a gagging order on the two publications until further investigation can determine the source and whether or not the documents are genuine.

Also, publishing the papers even if, as is thought likely, they prove to be real, could still be illegal, as they are covered by confidentiality laws and the content can only be revealed under subpoena in a court of law. For this to happen, they would have to represent evidence in a case, highly unlikely as the Bush twins have already been convicted and given mild punishments for all the criminal activities that they have been involved in.

If, as is possible, the documents prove to be false, then printing them would constitute libel. If that happened, it is likely that the president would push to have the case heard outside Austin, as he is likely to receive sympathy in other parts of Texas. (Reuters)

114. it's very questionable
and I have to evaluate it at this time as most likely being phoney. It seems too amateurish to have come from a real live journalist. I mean, look at these lines from the article:

twin-daughters

the Austin Police department police Department

is detailed report, in depth questions

People who have seen the document say that it, if real, contains a political bombshell

in contact with the Austin P.D. each time

If, as is possible, the documents prove to be false, then printing them would constitute libel

125. characteristics of incest offenders
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 12:54 PM by bloom
First off - I wish no such behaviors/diseases on anyone. But here is a list of traits of incest offenders - which is significantly different from pedophile offenders.


http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/428/428lect19.htm


INCEST OFFENDERS:
-generally, underadequate individuals
-low self esteem, inhibited, introverted, (not articulate)
-no real sense of self or identity
-often from lower class broken home
-strong denial of facts & responsibility
-75% of time family lives with alcoholism; a typical alcoholic family that covers up conflict very well
-enmeshed family relationship; father put up on pedestal as good provider; mother in geisha-like supportive role
-little education/intellectual deficits
-sexual history may include homosexuality, but fear of femininity
-molests occur while mother in hospital or unable to provide sex or father home for long periods of time (stress)
-makes victim feel powerful and like an adult (replacement for mother)
-has no conception of age-appropriate stages or behaviors (mixes up years)

One of the interesting areas of work with incestual (enmeshed) families is to focus upon the wives of perpetrators. There are some interesting dynamics involved in the extremes to which the wives of perpetrators will defend their husband. An interesting typology I think can be attributed to the Giaretto model (a California-based form of treatment) which offers the following classification of wives of men who molest:

* the WORN OUT
* the SILENT
* the ZOMBIE
* the COERCED INVOLVEMENT
* the SEXUAL PSYCHOPATH
* the INNOCENT
* the GEISHA


PEDOPHILE OFFENDERS:
-generally, overadequate individuals
-high self esteem, extroverted
-often self-insightful, articulate
-often from middle class, stable home
-rationalization of facts & responsibility
-alcoholism not usually present, but is used as a seductive tool to loosen up inhibitions of victims
-if married and not living with mother or grandmother (more frequent), the marriage is a sham & everyone knows it
-often high intelligence/college educated
-sexual history may include homosexuality, other deviant acts
-molests occur in response to fantasy-driven cycle; e.g., babysitters, pornography (compulsion)
-makes victim feel like a child
-has very clear and concrete ideas about what is appropriate for each age group



It's rather scary - the posibilities.

131. paedophilia, Bush and the national security state
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 01:22 PM by Minstrel Boy
Okay, the present story is unsubstantiated and rightly regarded as suspect until we see some confirmation.

But those who dismiss such charges out of hand as an outrageous smear and nothing more may care to inform themselves about America's most suppressed scandal: the paedophilia ring run by a high-ranking Nebraskan Republican who sang the national anthem at the GOP conventions in 1984 and 1988, and which was exploited by elements of the national security state and implicated prominent elites, among them GHWB and son.

This stuff is ugly, and it's out there, but it's not without confirmation.

153. As far as then-VP Bush goes,
the White House callboy tours were said to have been arranged by his national security advisor, Donald Gregg (Gregg denied). A GOP lobbyist, Craig Spence, was one of the directors of the ring (which is said to have been exploited by the CIA for sexual blackmail), was found dead in his hotel room shortly after the story broke, supposedly a suicide.

This ring was linked to one in Nebraska, led by a leading Republican named Larry King. (Not that Larry King.) The Bush/King connections were numerous, and are documented in The Franklin Cover-Up. King threw parties in Washington and Bush was a frequent guest. His Franklin Credit Union was used to launder Iran/Contra funds. King is currently in prison, and was recently ordered to pay $1 million to a boy in his ring whom he'd abused.

Some more info here:

Spence's mansion was found to be overflowing with surveillance equipment, including hidden cameras and microphones and an abundance of two-way mirrors. It was alleged that the ring was part of a CIA sexual blackmail operation, gathering compromising evidence on Washington politicos and foreign dignitaries. In August, following his arrest on weapon and drug charges, Spence gave an interview to the Times in which he openly claimed to work for the CIA and with high-ranking members of the Reagan and Bush administrations.

...

The story quickly dropped off the media radar screen, and Washington and the press proceeded to pretend as though it had never been aired at all. According to a Washington Times reporter, the paper trail was quickly covered-up – some 20,000 documents pertaining to the case were sealed by court order. By the time Spence turned up dead in a Boston hotel room less than five months after the story first broke, he was all but forgotten.

The UK’s Independent reported that: “Boston police said he was found lying on his bed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, dressed in evening clothes, with no obvious signs of injury. The police refused to comment on the cause of death.” The Post had earlier reported that Spence had told a friend: “I may be disappearing soon. It will be sudden. It may appear to be a suicide, but it won’t be.”

Elsewhere in the country, a political operative named Larry King - hailed as “the fastest rising black star in the Republican Party” - was embroiled in another high-level pedophile ring. King, whose operation was based in Omaha, Nebraska, had connections to Craig Spence as well as to Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Oliver North, and various other major players in Washington.

178. Specific problems with the Bush-child molester email hoax
Here's the play by play of problems with that child molester story:

Republican workers in Austin, the Texas state capital and a very liberal Democrat stronghold, are busy trying to quash rumors circulating about George W. Bush's past concerning his out of control twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna Bush.

Reuters doesn't use phrases like "a very liberal Democrat stronghold".

Apparently, both Texas Monthly and the Austin-American Statesman have been handed reports from the Austin Police department police Department detailing a psychologist's examination of Jenna Bush relating to her arrest for unlawful behavior on May 29, 2001.

Notice how "police department" is repeated, the first time with the P capitalized and the second time with the D capitalized. Was this an editing error? A copying error? This is not the sort of thing that goes out over a news wire, either.

If there were "Republican workers" trying to suppress the story, why haven't we heard anything from either the American-Stateman or Texas Monthly? I read TM and this is really not their cup of tea.

Jenna wasn't charged with "unlawful behavior. She was charged with using a fake idea to buy an alcoholic drink. Hardly the phrasing used by a professional reporter. News writers also don't use interjections like "apparently", they say "allegedly".

Finally, why would the Austin police hand over these documents to reporters now, two years after the story died?

In this detailed report, in depth questions about her and her sisters' childhood were asked, especially concerning her at that time alcoholic father.

"At that time" Dubya most certainly wasn't an alcoholic, as the official story goes. He quit drinking years before, tho the actual time moves around. He was 40 when he got the DUI in Maine--14 years before he was "elected". An official newswire service would stick by those facts and not imply Bush was drinking in 2001.


People who have seen the document say that it, if real, contains a political bombshell for both the current President's re-election possibilities, and even the puts a cloud over the possibility of him finishing his full-term.

Too much speculation to be a professional reporter's work.

If the document were genuine, in normal circumstances, one would then have to question the truth of the allegations made by Jenna Bush. However, the fact that the President's daughter has made allegations of sexual abuse and sodomy against her father, albeit in a confidential setting, alone would wreck any Republican chances in the November 2004 race.

The first mention of specifics comes this far down in the "story". Sorry, but an allegation this strong would lead off with the meat of the story--allegations of incest against the president. Instead it's written chronologically, like a work of fiction, to lead the reader into buying into the story's fantastic claims.


It would also undermine his brother Jeb's chances of retaining the Florida Governorship, especially as Governor Jeb Bush's own daughter, Noelle was caught faking prescriptions for drugs.

If the story were true, it would have no bearing on Jeb's job, since he was just reelected a year ago and will be in office through 2007. Wild speculations again, in this case intending to smear the Bushies with more mud.


Journalists in Austin have been trying to investigate rumors that Karl Rove, an assistant to George W. Bush, was in contact with the Austin P.D. each time the sisters were arrested. Travis County D.A. Ronnie Earle has subpoenaed the papers, and put a gagging order on the two publications until further investigation can determine the source and whether or not the documents are genuine.

"Each time the sisters were arrested" is absurd. They were in trouble with the law once each.

"Gagging order" has been discussed at length elsewhere.


Also, publishing the papers even if, as is thought likely, they prove to be real, could still be illegal, as they are covered by confidentiality laws and the content can only be revealed under subpoena in a court of law.

These statements are not even close to being true. Otherwise www.TheSmokingGun.com would be out of business. Both girls were legal adults when they got in trouble. The author knows this is claim is probably crap, which is why he explains at length in the next section that...

For this to happen, they would have to represent evidence in a case, highly unlikely as the Bush twins have already been convicted and given mild punishments for all the criminal activities that they have been involved in.

If, as is possible, the documents prove to be false, then printing them would constitute libel. If that happened, it is likely that the president would push to have the case heard outside Austin, as he is likely to receive sympathy in other parts of Texas.

Look at the historical link between pedophiles and Republicans.

137. I'm not sure I believe this.
I'm not saying that it's impossible, because we all know anything is possible, but there's no link and in light of the allegations about Michael Jackson, who knows what somebody could start without about Bush without any proof or documentation.

If it is true, he's finished in politics and so is the rest of the godforsaken clan.

142. Republican pedophiles operate in concert
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 02:47 PM by 9215
if you believe the "Franklin coverup". I don't have the info handy but there was this video tape about a Repug who had a child prostitution ring made up of runaways. With something or other about Poppy being involved. But don't quote me on this.

The video link was here at DU and seemed very real. If so what Bush did to his daughter would come as no surprise. Hell the bastard is responsible for the slaughter of thousands in Iraq for no good reason, this is...uh, er...child's play....by comparison.


Plus what did he say about "know child's left behind"....that's pretty suggestive too? :bounce:

145. Here's the "Conspiracy of Silence" thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=392459

I put some other links in post #131.

Those who choose to disbelieve this, please download and view the suppressed British documentary. Then go on to read John DeCamp's The Franklin Cover-Up.

A small part of the story: a paedophile prostitution ring was rewarded with after-hour tours of the Reagan White House, arranged by George Bush's National Security Advisor Donald Gregg. After the story broke, Craig Spence, GOP lobbyist who operated the ring, which was also used by the CIA for sexual blackmail, was promptly found dead in a Boston hotel room in 1989. "Suicide," naturally.

Remember: just because it's awful, doesn't mean it isn't true.

158. It's the worst thing, and the darkest secret
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 04:53 PM by Minstrel Boy
After discovering the story thanks to that thread I got a copy of The Franklin Cover-Up, and have since read a lot about government-sanctioned child abuse. The similarities around the world are highly disturbing, and patterns keep repeating. (Remember, for instance, the case in Belgium in the mid-90s? A monstrous ring said to incriminate scores of elites was said to have operated with the collusion of authorities.)

Lots to read here, and in subsequent parts (linked at bottom):

http://davesweb.cnchost.com/pedo1.html

Remember Bush's peculiar interjection of child sexual slavery in his latest UN speech? What was that about, and to whom was he speaking?

162. Bush's speech
happened at about the time that the Franklin coverup was being discussed at DU. Interestingly Bush validates the story about child sex slave trading by coming out against it.

I wonder what the Justice Dept. is doing about things like the Franklin cover-up. It would be interesting to see their response to being supplied with the info.

143. Total provocateur BS.
I often see in aWol the 'nervous confidence' look of the guilty.

But the black cloud weighing on him is his guilt of much worse things than what is fantasized in this poppycock.

149. for the twins' sake, I hope this isn't true!
I know a woman who was sexually abused as a child. She's had a miserable life ... and because of what happened, the supports which the rest of us rely on in times of trouble (family, longtime friends) are unavailable to her because they were complicit (or at least ignored it).

Really, really horrible. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Even George W.

154. Simple
Look, it's quite simple.

We know it's obviously just a rumor, and a bad one.

So be sure to tell everyone you know that the rumor - you know, the one about Bush abusing his daughter - is obviously not true. Everyone should know that no intelligent person could possibly believe that this rumor - you know, the one about Bush abusing his daughter - has any truth to it.

Why go around spreading lies?

161. Are you serious??
I don't necessarily believe the manner in which the information was delivered is above board, but I do not think the accusation itself is so preposterous.

You can't go around saying with absolute certainty that something isn't true unless you have PROOF that it isn't true. Well, you can of course, but it is just as ridculous as saying with absolute certainty that it IS true.

Some people think it has veracity, and some don't - As far as I know, nobody can say either with 100% certainty.

Personally, it is so in line with his character that I am more likely than not to believe it. What's with all the denial these days about W's evildoing? Surely notihing is beneath him.

You are right. We need to tell EVERYONE that it is a weird rumor. Do some polls citing Bush alleged rape of that woman that died recently and see if we can determine the publics perception on the truthfullness of it.

Then show the Franklin cover-up tape and discuss whether it is a rumor or not.

Go to schools, churches, rape clinics, quash the rumor far and wide.......:evilgrin:


Then check for correlations between children who are sexually abused and drug use.

166. I can't believe it--164 posts on this shit
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 05:55 PM by Marianne
argghh -- I wasted my time even reading any of it. the only honest person here is the person who said they did not care if Jenna was sodomized as long as Bush was villified--

Most, I suspect, in spite of all the thread nannying, and tch tching, if it DID happen to be true, complete with all sorts of the reaquired documentation, would be secretly glad, while spouting off their little "niceties" and their reluctance to be "freeper like"

It smells of dishonesty.

Personally, if it were to be proven to be true I would rejoice. and that is nothing but sheer honesty. I would not care one bit if anyone villified me for that sentiment.

And I suspect all other Bush haters would feel the same. LOL--it is the father here, Bush, who is the main player==

Stop the shit--being so nice and feighing compassion to the spoiled brat Jenna--it is NOT about Jenna--it is about George Bush , if any of it is at all the truth.

Get your path straight and get to know yourself--most of you would delight in reading aobut the perverted George Bush, should any of this turn out to be true and documented. It would bring him down and we would be saved from his fascism.

You would , of course, say you are very sorry that the poor little rich girl, Jenna, had to suffer while delighting in the scandal. Know thyself.

170. The stress an alcoholic puts on his (or her) family
is enough to call him an abusive father. I hope those girls didn't have to suffer anything else. Even if it's true (and it looks doubtful), I also hope it doesn't become public unless one of the twins is the one who takes it public. IF they have been sexually abused, having the whole world know it before they're ready to talk about it is just abusing them again.

177. I would be disappointed in any DUers act like
rednecks by taking the stance that he is guilty until proven innocent just as they do on FOX, CNN, and the NBCs and all the radio shows.

Stay in the adult by using IF.

It's one thing to think the worst politically and another to assume the worst when their is a young adult involved.

Besides, this is smelly.

that claimed he raped her also said he raped her when she was a minor.

BTW, she committed suicide a couple of weeks ago.
