10. Cool Video

I wouldn't say bush is portrayed as hitler though
more of a greedy war pig .

[buycitgo]

2. same here......where do I get mine?

better wear a mask at the store, and pay cash

[Fenris]

3. Never heard of them, never seen it, but I want to now

We the following feel shocked and appauled that MTV would air a music video that would show our president in a negative light in America's time of need.

We the following? Yeah, that's a great way to start a petition. I think the Founding Fathers should have started the Constitution like that. America's time of need? How long until we can stop grieving and move on?

On several occasions a video has been shown for a song called Majik by a group called Ohgr that shows the president of the United States, George W. Bush, as he stands upon a large podium and delivers a speech using simiar mannerisms as Adolf Hitler himself. Almost as offensive is the fact that the video shows all Americans as hypnotised zombies

Sounds accurate. Americans don't like the truth, do they?

We are deeply offended by this video that not only offends the leader of the United States but the American people as well. The fact that MTV would show such anti-American footage during America's time of need deeply offends us all.

It doesn't offend me and I'm an American. And there's that phrase again, "time of need." It sounds like the country is going through a goddamn divorce.

33. "Appauled" eh? (getting out freeper dictionary like a moran.....)

ahem...

[ithacan]

46. these people are fascists...

note how they use "anti-American" to mean anti-Bush...

That's a sure sign that they are fascists; for them, dissent equals disloyalty, just as it does for all extreme right wingers...

[LastKnight]

4. even if the music sucks, i guess... i have to buy it.

cause they cant be all bad if thier comparing bush to hitler. whos it by/whats the song?

The TRUTH hurts, doesn't it?

If the shoe fits....

Who de cap fit, let dem wear it?

What is UP with these people?

[Blade]

8. LOL

those republican bastards can't spell worth $hit!! Hahaha!

such dumbasses...and they're boycotting the truth. Republicans are robots, I swear.

On edit: I can't spell. Huked en fonix wercd fer me, no?

[kaitykaity]

9. Watch it with realplayer over 56K. pretty cool.

[LoZoccolo]

11. Has MTV ever actually played this ever?

I don't have cable so I don't know, but it seems they play real commercial stuff, not something this obscure.

[Blade]

12. I've never seen it played on MTV before.

So I dunno. :shrug:

[aeon flux]

15. It tends to air late night and on MTV2

Along with the other more 'obscure' stuff. I think it also streams on the MTV website, but I'm not sure since the crappily-made MTV website never loads for me and I'm on cable.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

13. bwah-ha-ha-ha! Every comment rips Bush apart!!

Don't know if all of us DU'ers went on the site or what.

[FDRrocks]

16. The similarites far outweigh the dissimilarities.

Right wing. Propaganda. Preemptive Stikes based on Terrorism that was staged (in one case) or very preventable (in another). Bill with a sunset provision that restricts civil liberties. Not very smart.

Bush might just be the reincarnation of... aww fuck it I'm an atheist. Evil is evil.

edit: We aren't in time of need. GWB said himself mission was accomplished many months ago. This video isn't anti-American. It is truth. Nazi-pro-corporate world is right here. We are sitting in it. War economy, Wars, and pro-corporatism.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

17. anyone have a link to it? not Real media version?

thanks,

[DjTj]

22. Link to video...

[Fleshdancer]

18. This is a fun petition!

we need some fake hannity, limbaugh, coulter etc on this thing.

on edit: #173 is mine. I noted the chairman of the independent commission investigating 9/11 saying the attack should have been prevented.

[Cooley Hurd]

19. The majority of signatures were anti-Bush...

I'm in at 147...

[ThirdWheelLegend]

20. this signature made me giggle!

childish but to the point!

"156. Hahahahah What a dumb protest, all you republican dicks, get a life"

[creativelcro]

44. I think a number of the people who signed were just having fun

Read the comments!... One even says he/she donated 1K to MTV AFTER seeing this clip...

[HawkerHurricane]

21. Alas and alackaday

They have disabled thier 'read signatures' function on thier web page.

Also, they claim to only have 175 signatures now... I guess they deleted some of the 'improper' signatures...

[G_j]

23. Ha Ha!!! read these comments!

177.Ann Frank
I'm upset that they didn't have Cheney as Himmler, What gives?

176.Ron Magden

from DUWow! The video is excellent!!! Please, by all means - keep playing it! Oh, and please read this story: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/17/eveningnews/main589137.shtml Bush could've saved 3000 people but decided to hide at his pig farm in Crawford, TX for a month.

173.The truth hurts
The chairman of the independent commission investigating 9/11 said publicly that 9/11 SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. cbsnews.com has the information.

172.Ann Coulter
Damn treasonous MTV traitors! After watching that liberal trash, I'm going to not eat something. again.

175 ... is someone sitting in my chair right now :P

[AWD]

35. 166 is me

...since they got so upset over being accused of acting like minless zombies, I thought it was fitting.

[aeon flux]

25. Just saw it

Great video/song.

Looks like it was expensive to make. Cool animations and effects.

[bitchkitty]

27. Someone should start an online petition

to tell MTV to play the video more. I'll bet it would get more signatures.

[neuvocat]

28. Good suggestion.

I just wrote it up:

http://www.petitiononline.com/121314/petition.html

[nickgutierrez]

39. I just signed

#1, apparently :).

[bitchkitty]

47. Cool - I signed -

you should start a thread - there are only a few sigs right now. I would but my threads generally sink like stones, I don't want to curse your petition!

:)

[creativelcro]

48. kick for a cool video!

[LondonReign2]

37. Who's beauty was this?

183. dead_parrot Totally unrealistic: At no point does Shrub play golf, hang out on the pig farm or hold a fund-raiser...

Heh heh! Okay, who gets credit for this one?

[smirkymonkey]

38. So, What's the problem??

I don't get it. Seems perfectly in order to me.

[rexcat]

40. I just signed the petition...

as "GoGetEm MTV" using my hotmail address that I use when I expect to be spammed at a site that requires me to enter my e-mail address. My comment was "Fuck the Republican Whores, Bush is an asshole." I feel better now!

[creativelcro]

41. You can enter a fake address here...

Read the comments! Some are funny...

[YNGW]

43. Reading the comments here...

...I thought I had accidently stumbled into Indymedia.

Nevermind.

[Timefortruth]

49. Why are you here?

Nevermind.

[Lurking Dem]

51. So tempting to sign
