Biden: Bush's comments were 'bullshit'


Sen. Joe Biden, piling on to Democratic complaints about President Bush’s speech in Israel today:

“This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset . . . and make this kind of ridiculous statement.”

Speaking before the Knesset, Bush said that “some people” believe the United States “should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."

"We have heard this foolish delusion before," Bush said. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is—the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

Democrats have interpreted the comments as an attack on Sen. Barack Obama, and Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that the president was out of line.

1. The President (and I use that term begrudgingly) has been out of line...

for 7 1/2 years now. Nothing he says or does surprises me.

[TNOE]

6. Gov. Bush

was his last legitimate title. Otherwise - its Mr. Bush or just Lil Bush.

[TheDebbieDee]

10. I think his band of criminals mugged Gov. Anne Richards, too......

It was a practice mugging to work out the bugs before mugging President Albert Gore in 2000!

[TomInTib]

22. I remember everyone being shocked at the discrepancy between...

the exit polls and the "actual" vote.

Sound just a little bit familiar?

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Oh they did indeed!

[Virginia Dare]

24. Asshole is about as respectful as I'll get...n/t

[bluesmail]

35. I question that legitimacy (now).

[progressoid]

2. Go Joe, Go!

[RufusTFirefly]

3. Prescott? Who said anything about Prescott?

The best way for a Nazi to avoid being called a Nazi is to call the other guy a Nazi first.

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

4. Tell it like it is, Joe! Way to go! K&R n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. Technically, I believe it's actually horseshit but I'll bow to Sen. Biden's experience.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. He is going after the Jewish vote, pure and simple

and Mr. Bush was way... WAAAYYYYYYY out of line

Why is it that I suspect another special comment coming out

[aquart]

15. This ain't the way to get it. Pure and simple.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. I agree, but that is what they are calculating on

the Jewish vote, in very specific regions of the country

Dade county anyone? I mean in 2000 Buchanan "got" that vote... so they think this time they can
scare them to vote against the democrat and get them fair and square

I expect more of this crap

[lutefisk]

8. Oh come on. What terrorist controls a powerful military-industrial complex like Hitler did?

Oh, never mind.

[Donnachaidh]

9. Hey Joe -- why don't you DO SOMETHING -- how about CENSURING?

Congress doesn't seem to have a problem going after MoveOn for "outrageous" comments -- how about an official CENSURE of the Chimp in Chief for THIS abomination?

WHEN can we expect THAT to happen?

[bdamomma]

31. or even the Golf comment made by *

how about raking * over the coals for that disgusting comment.

[wiggs]

39. I like where you're comin from. nt

[Kaleko]

11. Do I detect evidence of growing spinal fortitude?

Calling all experts to testify if, indeed, it is bullshit coming out of our Resident's orifice.

[Donnachaidh]

32. nope -- just a jump at more facetime for our *reps*

They DO love to be interviewed. But when it comes to actually DOING something? Ask them outright and they'll excuse themselves so that they can change their soiled undies. What -- you expect REAL representation? :sarcasm:

[acmavm]

12. Yeah, bush** is the ultimate tough guy, the original hard ass. UNTIL

IT'S HIS TURN TO SERVE.

Poopy did plenty of talking to get him both in AND out of military service.

[IronLionZion]

13. And we all know how Bush feels about invasions.

:eyes:

The demographics are changing. Younger Jewish-Americans care about stuff other than hard-line Israeli policy.

I strongly agree with Obama's position of talking to our enemies rather than ignoring them like Bush is. I'm against doing nothing. There's nothing brave or effective about doing nothing.

[graycem]

14. Maybe

Bush meant the Republicans. Obama is always talking about working across the aisle and such. That definitely has to be what he meant.

[IronLionZion]

16. Bwhahaha!

:rofl:

That's a great way to put it! especially with the inevitable blue tidal wave that's coming hard and fast this year.

[Marr]

17. I think this comment invites discussion of his grandfather's Nazi dealings.

If Bush feels this sort of thing is acceptable, then his family's record with the Nazis should be out there in the mainstream media as well.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Boy, That Comments Section!

That article really brought out the troglodytes! Just reactionary idiot after reactionary idiot, and combined they have a lower IQ than my dog.
The Professor

[Warpy]

25. Yes it was running about 3:2 against Biden

so naturally I dropped a little bomb of my own in there to try to even things up a bit.

Right wingers find Politico just a little too cozy. It's time to rattle their cages.

[Virginia Dare]

26. I like the guy who said..

hey DELEWARE, you can do better....:dunce:

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Yeah, Me Too

Geez, there was about 500 spelling errors in only the first 75 posts by those cretins. And, over and over and over, the same old tired, hackneyed arguments. Let's face it, they've really got nothing.
The Professor

[seemslikeadream]

19. Joe we've been saying that for a very long time now

[spanone]

20. F U C K I N G A M E N

[JAbuchan08]

21. Well certainly if there is an ingenious argument to made TO terrorists AGAINST terrorism

George W. will never think of it.

I believe he is projecting his intellectual limits on the rest of us.

[malaise]

23. Question

Does the Israeli government know about Prescott Bush's connections to the Nazis??

[lpbk2713]

27. I fear we will never be able to repair the damage this idiot has done to this country.

Certainly not in my lifetime anyhow.

[Flying Dream Blues]

40. OMG, that picture. You are kidding me. nt

[bdamomma]

28. Love it!!

Yea, Senator Biden, * is out of line and out of his mind too.

:patriot:

38. Politeness be damned. Thank you, Sen. Biden! nt

[Booster]

41. All those morans who burned their Dixie Chicks CD's must be

feeling really, really stupid right now. hehehehehe

[Occulus]

43. Senator Biden needs to read that Harper's article and then call attention to it.

I think that would do a great deal of good- given he wasn't the one to bring up the Nazis in the first place.

[PATRICK]

44. The Bush quote

of Sen. Borah(R) of Idaho, a mixed bag progressive outlier way back then is unmistakably a repeat of a GOP talking point that has been used before, regardless of the fact that it was from a GOP isolationist and bring sup a lot of historical questions about the judgment of any Republican at any time with any particular persuasion. There were also actual GOP Nazi sympathizers as well who were dismayed that Hitler put egg on their faces, but none of that kept the people with closest money ties from severing their dirty connections(Prescott Bush) with the invaders even after Pearl harbor. So after parsing history and all the various shades of "appeasement" isolationism, and pro-Nazi embarrassment what does that have to do with democrats who fought the wars and are ready to do the same again as actually necessary? Bush cannot even prove that elements in the democratic party have turned completely against imperialism even to the qualified extent of the histrionic Sen. Borah.

Chamberlain is Tony Blair's anti-precedent. In fact talk indeed has nothing to do with it. The invasion of Iraq, even shamefully enlisting free Poland, to the cause was bought by oil. ANY other action on behalf of Israel not involving oil is lackadaisical, hype and smoke. Nor will they survive by depending on Bush's pre-emptive involvement in making unjust war and refusing sane diplomacy with the chief focus being personal politics and personal profit.

If Bush could have talked to Hitler he would have told him to threaten Poland and Austria then invade the European oil fields and the Middle East. Secretly, of course.

[VP505]

45. "out of line?

So Joe, tell us about that "CENSURE" thingy that Senator Feingold proposed a couple of years back, ya I know it was over illegal wiretapping but... Don't you think that maybe if more Senators got behind the move to hold an out of control President accountable, that he mightn't be roaming around the world shooting his stupid mouth off today???
