Bush supporters tote signs, 'Thank you for defending the babies'

It seems that former President George W. Bush's most ardent supporters are having trouble coming up with messages to praise their onetime chief -- if a report from Erie, Pennsylvania is any guide.

Two sets of spectators, some supportive of George W. Bush and some not, have taken their places near the entrance to the Bayfront Convention Center.

The former president is scheduled to speak at the convention center later this evening, one of his first major addresses since leaving office in January.

His supporters are carrying signs saying "Thank you for defending the babies" and "Welcome President Bush."

The other group has more of a variety of signs, but most regard his role with the war in Iraq. A typical message read: "Arrest Bush for war crimes."

Bush delivered an address to a local business crowd, where he criticized President Barack Obama's policies.

    "Thank you for defending the babies"

    Which babies, the 4000+ US soldiers killed in this sensless "war", or the thousands upon thousands of Iraqis?

    Heckuva job, Dubyuh.

    I thought Mr. Asshole was going to carry on the tradition of not bashing a new president. Not so?

    And his supporters carry signs saying, "Thanks for saving the babies"? Whose babies did he save? He sure didn't do that for the Iraqis or the Afghanis.

    He had to save the babies to have someone left to Torture.

    Keep the pressure on Obama to prosecute.

    Will Obama stand for Justice or get in the way of it?

  4. Arrest this war criminal, liar, thief, and murderer now. He has destroyed America and much of the world thanks to his insanity and the globalist elite he worked for. Why does Obama protect this monster???

    The hole group in the white house should be charged with war crimes, and treason of the constitution of america.

    He did promote a pro-life stance, God bless him. And his Freedom Agenda is bearing fruit in Iran. We'll look back on this president someday and realize he was one of the most important of the early 21st century.


  7. Bryan

    Most Important and 'good' are not the same thing. In retrospect Hitler was an important historical figure.


  8. gypski

    Face it, there will always be people who believe that the earth is flat and George Bush was born again. Well, maybe he was born again. Hatched in hell.

    The Bush administration's unwillingness to restrict the amount of mercury that industry releases into our environment has probably done more harm to the unborn then all the abortion doctors in the country combined. Of course this is not a problem as long as corporate profits are being protected.


  10. Doc Holiday

    This story a prime example how insane Bush is.

    Waste billions, make up lies and thousands dead is okay, as long as those babies have a chance to brainwashed first.

    Collateral damage saves babies too, on the next Batshit Crazy Bush Show.

    Now that makes sence as this group will murder a doctor and approve the kidnapping and torture of woman/children all in God's Name. What kind of people fight to bring children in the word only to show them racism/hate and then murder them as adults. This is why the World looks at the US as a joke and God is not their Leader as their following Satan. George W. Bush ordered torture of woman and children and that's pure Evil.

    R. Krueger,
    bush didn't save one soul.
    His path of destruction did not serve the written teachings of Christ only the greed of a few and mass murder of thousands of innocent men, women , and children in the middle east by creating a fictitious threat. When the delusions of the so-called conservative illiterates realize they've been duped, it will be too late. This country seriously needs to prosecute bush and cheney for war crimes and theft of the treasury through fraud.

    I get so sick and tired of hearing Bush supporters say how history will judge him to be "important" or significant or even good or "noble" (as Bill O'Reilly often has called Bush's efforts in Iraq). These supporters twist facts and information, just as the Bush administration did, in order to make him look better.

    The latest, spun by the likes of Ari Fleischer, is that what's happening in Iran right now is a result of Bush's tough stance in the middle east, and the so-called "liberation" of Iraq. What's really the cause of the protesters in Iran is the fact that a very large percentage of Iranians are under the age of 30; they're educated; they have access to the internet. I've seen a number of reports that many of these Iranians do not like Ahmadinejad because of his denial of the holocaust.

    Bush caused great chaos in not only this country, but also throughout the world. He has caused so many situations for Obama that will mean Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

    Those who think Bush did such a great job of bringing democracy to Iraq never say that he also was the reason hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed and injured. That is simply unconsionable, especially since the invasion was based on at best cherry-picked information and at worst, downright lies.

    Some of you see my comments and think i am a fox news type.

    listen to this.

    Bush supporters need to be maligned as neo-nazi's are. Right? I mean Neo-nazi's still support Hitler. These totally misguided, brainwashed, evil, idiots, support Bush.

    (now that i have typed this, being a bush supporter is so absurd, i think these people are PAID stage props. )


  15. DonJuan

    Bush was the president that had Roe v. Wade overturned, right?

    Nope!

    The only thing Bush did for the anti-abortion cause was, get himself elected with it. So the babies they must be talking about are the ones that didn't get caught in the path of the bombs that exploded in Iraq. Wow!, what a great reason to greet the man when he comes to your home-town.

    These bush-loving nut-jobs had their 8 years of chaos and destruction, can't they just stay home and rest for the next decade, while the rest of us figure out how to clean this mess up?

    Save the fetus, starve the born babies, and kill the soldiers and collateral damage civilians in an unnecessary, illegal, immoral war in the middle east. While you are at it, use the death penalty with no abandon. These thugs are disgusting. Bush and his crime family should all go to prison for a long time.


  18. Veronica

    What about the innocent Iraqi babies Chimpy McFlightsuit has killed? Oh, that's right ... they were brown Muslim babies, and they don't count. So, like 'god', Chimpy McFlightsuit is a late-term abortion provider.

    Bush - The giant shitstain on American history.


  19. jbrantow

    Thanks for saving babies so they can grow up and fight in this neverending war that you initiated. Will we ever leave Iraq....not with that billion dollar embassy built by bush. Shower electrocution anyone?


  20. Bobnoxious

    Bush didn't actually save any babies. Especially the Iranian and Afghan babies.
    The Right Wingers really need to get a clue.
    If Rethuglicans REALLY wanted abortion to be illegal, they would have done it during the six years they had control of all three branches of the federal government. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Remember the Rubber Stamp Congress?
    They could have easily forced it through and banned all abortions in the US. So why didn't they? Because then all the One-Issue Voters would stop going to the polls. Rethugs LOVE One-Issue Voters because they will look the other way on other issues. For them, its OK that Bush is a war criminal because he defended babies, or gun rights, or whatever.
    Abortion is just as legal today as it was in 2000, AS IT SHOULD BE!

    Bush should feel perfectly free to criticize Obama...from inside a high security prison...before he is tried for treason and war crimes with the rest of his cronies. How soon can this best reason for Hammurabi's code be arrested?


  22. 911insidejob

    yet Bush helped kill 3,000 US babies on 911. And now there's solid evidence of NANO thermite (military level thermite) in all ground zero dust and yet American's do nothing. It's not a conspiracy if you can prove it. If you really are sick of republicans and the highlevel treason and corruption, EXPOSE 911 truth. Support NYCAN.org. Do anything cause OBAMA surely won't even though 911 truth is the Ace up the democrats sleeve. Is it possible that the Democrats are enablers who have no intention of playing anything but good cop to repub bad cop until their paymasters, the banksters, have total control. Do you ever wonder why no one, Absolutely no one will question 911. Maybe cause the torturous wiretapping status quo suits them and maybe even you too are afraid to change what you think is the good life even though it's disappearing.

    American's

    The plural of American is Americans. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ADD AN APOSTROPHE TO MAKE PLURALS! It's basic English grammar. BASIC. ENGLISH. GRAMMAR.

    democrats sleeve

    The possessive of "democrats" (which should be capitalized to "Democrats") is Democrats'. That means: belongs to the Democrats. If you mean ONE Democrat, it would be Democrat's.

    So: The Democrat's sleeve got wet during the rainstorm.
    Someone is puling the Democrats' sleeves.

    Do you grasp the difference? If there's no possessive, you don't need an apostrophe at all. The Democrats are more popular right now than the Republicans.

    You create a possessive in English by ADDING AN APOSTROPHE. Singular or plural, you add the apostrophe at the end of the word. It's basic English grammar. BASIC. ENGLISH. GRAMMAR.

    Please, step away from your conspiracy theories to grasp this basic grammar tenet. It's not that hard.


  24. grammarian

    And yes, that should be "pulling."

    Someone is pulling the Democrats' sleeves.

    Misspelling or orthographic mistakes are inexcusable too.
