Reviewer: A reader from Crawford, TX
As a leader in the Log Cabin Republicans, John Podhoretz continues his unbalanced exhortation of his favorite wet dream, g.w. bush. Incompetance is not a virtue, and praising this bumbling president in a tome worthy of a truck stop bathroom is understandable considering it's source.

Seriously nasty!

Bush Hatred Syndrome? Whad'ya mean Charles?

This sounds like a perfectly honest assessment of GW by a rational individual:

John Podhoretz brilliantly describes a bizarre alternate universe in which a morally corrupt, intellectually challenged multi-millionaire buffoon illegally assumes the position of the President of the U.S. and proceeds to spend the next four years vomiting repeatedly all over the American people.

BOOK SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS A WORK OF FICTION, March 15, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from Washington, D. C,
The author is nothing more than a paid apologist for the inept George W. Bush who has secured his place in history as the WORST man to ever serve as President in modern American history. In the feeble defense of the inexperienced and unqualified George W. Bush, the author conveniently fails to document the sad fact that the criminal negligence of George W. Bush was the cause of the greatest breach of national security in history. The author and the rest of the educated world know by now that George W. Bush had been warned multiple times about the terrorist attack by both the U. S. and international intelligence community and yet he did nothing in regard to his national security duties. The author does not acknowledge that there have been no valid successes in the on-the-job training period George W. Bush since although he campaigned as a moderate, he has governed as a radical right winger and imposed an agenda on the country that is now beneficial. READ THIS BOOK ONLY IF YOU LIKE FANTASY.

Evil Right Wing Nonsense, February 20, 2004

Reviewer: A reader from Tacoma, WA United States
How on earth can anybody write a book about what a great president Bush is??? He stole the election from Al Gore! He tried to stop the military vote from being counted! Oh wait...that was Gore, but still Bush is evil I say! He just is okay? Let me check my democratic handbook here...ah yes, they're all NAZIS I tell ya! Nazis! Bush's grandfather's hairdresser's cousin's dog trainer once shook hands with Hitler! It's true!Bush gives tax cuts to the rich! He gave them to everybody else too, but...the rich are evil and should be giving ALL their money to the government anyway! This book is an outrage! Look at the unemployment rate! It's all Bush's fault! At least when Clinton was first elected the economy was great! That had NOTHING to do with the internet boom at the time either! Nothing whatsoever! My round wire-rimmed glasses are getting all steamed up! Nazis...blah blah...intolerant...blah yadda...evil...blah...yadda...the working class...blah blah...stole the election...yadda yadda...alchoholic...yadda yadda...democratic playbook...blah blah.

Are you bitter fanatical liberals for real? You lost the election. Bush is still popular with the majority of americans. Iraq has been liberated from a horrifying dictator. There hasn't been a single terrorist attack on american soil since the war on terror began. Get over it guys. It's getting ridiculous.

Everyone else had favorable comments or questions.

More likely they will claim it's the US and with some merit.

Think about it, just for a moment, imagine your weren't fortunate enough to have been born under the protection of the greatest superpower the world has ever seen. How would you, the citizen of some lesser country, view the arrogance of King George and his WOT linked to a policy of pre-emption meaning we have suspended the normal rules and diplomatic niceties in favour of striking out at whoever and whenever we damn well please.

That has the whole world worried including terrorists and their sympathisers, which is a good thing, but it's also frightening our friends and allies, which is a bad thing.

The world has no need for a superpower run amock, especially not one so well armed and so badly led.

Perhaps with better leadership and closer co-ordination with European and other allies we can work this out together. That's assuming and yes praying we get the government we deserve this november.

I'm not saying that alienating people is a good thing, I'm saying that "our friends and allies" should be terrified of having their citizens blown up, not of the US, and if they're going to tremble because the US is too aggressive for their tastes, well, too bad.

For decades, the US has attempted to help other nations, thru loans, technological assistance, money and other benefits. What has it gotten us? A war declared on our way of life by savages who force their own people to live under barbarous laws and state controlled poverty.

The conditions these people live under are not our fault. I refuse to allow them to be used as excuses for their behavior, considering the options that are available to them. They started this war and they should be afraid.

Funny, every poor area of the world I have visited, Americans seemed welcomed and loved, or at least respected (and I'm not so naïve to believe it didn't sometimes have to do with hawking me something).

we have suspended the normal rules and diplomatic niceties

Working under the 'normal rules,' we got:

1) The '93 WTC attack
2) The Khobar Towers attack
3) The Kenya and Tanzania Embassy bombings
4) The U.S.S. Cole
5) September 11th

The 'normal rules' weren't exactly working like a charm.

For all this talk of alienating our allies - IMO - it's really only with respect to Iraq, and we have plenty of help there.

But if one reads the paper or even watches the Beeb, you see much evidence of our European 'friends' (both in Old and New Europe) working overtime to investigate and arrest 'militants' in the WoT.

Even Mr. Rodriguez Zapatero, if and when he pulls his forces out of Iraq, will still be a strong 'ally' in the WoT.

The Basques aren't going away, neither is AQ. He's got work to do and he knows it.

Not a question of trembling or the US being too aggressive many in the civilized world beyond these shores simply do not believe GWB has any creditability as the self imposed leader of the "crusade" to tame the wilder elements of Islam currently afflicting us. All is not lost however I do believe they could be persuaded to join the coalition of the even more willing once the US comes up with better leadership material aka John Kerry.

You made my point I think, take Iraq out of the equation you have support and co-operation from the rest of the world, after all they have suffered under some form or other of terrorism much longer than we have and have a realistic approach to dealing with it.

Put Iraq back into the equation you have discord and a parting of the ways.

The threat from Iraq was not the "imminent" threat this administration made it out to be.

Ergo this administration by rushing into Iraq sans a substantial attempt to enjoin the international community in the effort has cost the US credibility.

Why did they do it ? because they could seems to be as good a reason as any other for this bunch.

I guess most of the Europeans with bravery and fortitude in their genes left for the US the last few hundred years. What's left in Eurabia are scared lotus eaters frantically burying their head in the sand as fast as they can...

And don't worry, John F'ing Kerry won't get the chance to shove his big nose up Chirac's ass as president of the USA. The majority of us still would rather kill the bad guys than bend over and hand them a tube of KY jelly. Simple and barbaric of us no?

But as one famous Irishman said many yeas ago,

"The Americans fix problems, the Europeans learn to live with them" Profound in it's simplicity, but true. We'll gladly spend 100's of billions to eradicate AQ and the whole Islamic movement than pay tribute to a bunch of goatherds hiding in some caves beating their women.

When Eurabia falls, I'm sure we'll hear whining from the Eunichs that the US needs to save them..

Fuck 'em, 2 times in the last 100 years in the limit.

And Postit, you're trolling is pathetic. But I enjoy ripping off a response. So thank you for being an assnugget. I needed a chuckle tonight.

Even if "because they could" is the reason for the war - and I'm not saying that it is - we (the planet) are still minus one Islamofascist dictator and his two demonic sons, since the campaign began.

Many people, including most non-Sunni Iraqis, are thankful for that.

Did much of the world incur a temporary blow to their ego after witnessing their inability to prevent the JewishNeoconZionist cabal from stealing Iraq's oil?

Sure.

All is not lost however I do believe they could be persuaded to join the coalition of the even more willing once the US comes up with better leadership material aka John Kerry.

...You can't seriously think John F'in Kerry is better leadership material? I mean, how much of a leader is a man who will no sooner say one thing then hop the fence to the completely opposed viewpoint? And don't presume to say he's following the will of the people--unfortunately, the "will" of the people is the majority, and the majority by definition has exactly one view; it's because they share this view, and that there's more of them, that they're the majority.

A worker covers the campaign poster of conservative Popular Party candidate Marino Rajoy, with a swastika drawn on it, in Luchana, near Bilbao in northern Spain, Tuesday March 16, 2004, two days after Rajoy lost the general elections, overshadowed by the Madrid bombing attacks, to the Socialist candidate Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

Certainly, you show me a list of JFK flip flops in the senate and I'lll show you a list of flip flops by GWB as president, we could go on all night. Substance my boy, look into GWB's resume there's no there there he's a flake, out of his depth.

Let's see who the majority is come november, I can wait can you ? GWB's numbers can only go down and Kerry's up from what I see of the day to day operations of the current administration.

Georgia Nerd #26 - I also watched Podhoretz on CSPAN; my impression was that the heckler (aka 'ass') was not escorted out but was asked to behave (or else :-)

postit #83 - "thought I'd kicked a good bit a butt to be honest"
This shows that you haven't paid attention at all (but I already knew that). Most of the arguments you posit in your postits have been challenged and proved untrue. This doesn't bother you a bit, as you just run to the next post as fast as your fingers can type.

To illustrate how mis-under-informed you are, here's a quote from postit #68: "The threat from Iraq was not the "imminent" threat this administration made it out to be."

Bush never said Iraq was an imminent threat - you are parroting Democratic talking points that are untrue.

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option."
[Link: www.whitehouse.gov...]

Before you say this is just 'semantics', note that you made an argument, unsupported by fact. I refuted your argument, and have provided you with the source material to prove it.

I've seen you post one link (other thread) to support your blather - and that link was to 'educate' us about your favorite Jewish neo-conservative conspiracy site.

Remember: Judenhass, 'it's just a label'.

105 Papertiger  Tue, Mar 16, 2004 7:51:28pm

France sure doesn't seem frightened. I mean actively backing the Communist Chinese against Taiwan. This is sort of getting in our face, yet once again, is it not?

I also found that France has illegally exported almost as much sensitive American defence tech to Mainland China as Bill Clinton and Al Gore did. Everything they could get their hands on via Nato was soon shipped to Beijing with a French label.

We are selling these people short by calling them surrender monkeys. It doesn't pay for us to underestimate their duplicity.

I, for one, think that France was instumental in the Madrid bombings. For three months prior, France was hiding from their people, a terrorist group they claimed was planted bombs in French raillines. The supposed terrorist group sent notes to Chirac and Interior minister Sarkozy demanding money.

And yet no bomb ever went off. A bomb was found. French Judges found it puzzling that a bomb of such high sophistication and yet have no clear cut motive for using it.
The French kept it all quite , asking the Media not to publish the information. Finally a paper called La Depeche du Midi spilled the beans, just a few days before Madrid's Train was bombed. Sarkozy was furious saying the paper had acted irresponsably. Warning the French public of an imminent danger from terrorism was acting irresponsably!

It occured to me that perhaps Sarkozy was upset because he never expected anyone to hear of the story.

[Link: www.alertnet.org...]
These people(the French) are dangerous to world stability. We shouldn't be dismissing their actions (which are universally counter to our own) with a trite "Surrender monkeys".

So the Iraqi threat is not imminent but it's about to become imminent and he doesn't propose to wait until it is imminent, all sounds a bit clintonesque to me.

Well you reduced my facts with your facts to a matter of opinion and if it that's all it comes down to then you have yours and I have mine. Same applies to the voters in november, be afraid.

I've had some interesting experiences with Amazon reviews.

Last year I noticed that some idiotarian reviews of a conservative book provided no details on the book and were dated before the book was published. I pointed this out to Amazon and they removed the reviews.

There's a good travel writer who slips idiotarian opinions and historical inaccuracies into his books in order to indoctrinate people. My review of a 2003 book actually forced him to change a paragraph in the 2004 edition.

My 2004 review referenced a particularly obnoxious paragraph on the author's website. The paragraph was later removed, though the rest of this foolish essay remains.

Been going on FOREVER at Amazon. Any Pro Israel Book gets trashed. They are just adding Bush on now. If the next Pres. happens to be Kerry, and he doesnt get rid of Israel once and for all...they will be doing the same to HIM.

Its a matter of Trashing Jooos and Israel. They do the same alot of the times to identifyably Jewish authors who they THINK or know are Pro Israel. No matter what the book is about..it gets rated low. Watched this for quite a while now...

SOME Jewish authors have to use a "Pen Name" to sell their popular best selling works in PEACE. Gosh thought that was all over didnt you? WELL-- It isnt.

So...look for this trashing of Jews, Jewish Authors, Pro Israel Authors ...some of us know whats going on there on Amazon...and read the other side and rate THEM and their "material". The whole thing is Jr. Hi School behavior if ya ask me. But if they are gonna...so will we..especially when WE are telling the*** truth.
