Bush goon told reporter to "Get the fuck out of here!" (on W's orders?)

[PresidentErnestTBass]

If this doesn't belong in Campaign news the mods can move it. This is my first real DU article so I'm still learning the ropes here :hi: I signed up yesterday when I found this guy's blog on Blogger so after a year of lurking here wanted to spring aboard with it because it deserved big attention.

The Night George W. Bush Ordered A Thug To Tell Me To "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" (Caution: harsh language)

http://theknightshift.blogspot.com

It's very long but scary read and _very_ well detailed. For something that happened way back in 2000 his memory is real good. Read the first two articles he did from this past month about sharing his story also because they're _vital_ to understand the rest. Since yesterday I've written to Mr. Knight twice and he's replied both times, said that though he's still uncommitted to voting for Kerry -- because Knight is very anti-abortion -- that Kerry is the more thoughtful/considerate of the two and he's much more impressed with the depth of his answers than Dubya's. But he's defintely not voting for Dubya after Bush did this to him. He's _not_ taking his story public out of anger or hatred toward Bush or anyone else -- read the first article he has linked inside this one and Knight sounds like a _real_ Christian, not faking it -- but he thought this was the right thing to do and wasn't scacred to do it. Read this from his blog ...

"And if any of George W. Bush’s supporters from Karl Rove on down to the lowliest bootlick want to try to destroy me on this: "bring 'em on." I've already written that I'm ready to admit to anything that they could throw against me for my doing this. They can attack and try to destroy me all they want, I don't care: I'm going to tell this story as best I can and nothing's going to deter me otherwise. But if anything happens to my loved ones because of it... well, I think I could take on Rove in a fair fight."

Did I do good for a first thread? :) I was a little scared to go this deep in the water so soon :scared:

1. Your user name makes you a winner in my book! LMAO

4. That whole thing about "Mayberry Machiavelli"

has stuck with me since I read it here last week somewhere. Ernest T Bass was my favorite character after Andy and I thought that Bass would be a much saner President than Bush :)

7. Come to think of it

Ernest T is just the kind of person who'd throw a rock throug the White House window }(

5. GREAT first thread! And welcome to DU,

from another almost-newbie.

I hope everyone will read the entire article you linked to. It's very long, but fascinating, and scary.

As for what you said about how detailed it is, and how good that reporter's memory is -- he mentions in there somewhere that he'd had his tape recorder running the entire time, though he hadn't been aware he had the tape when he first wrote about this for his paper.

Since you're writing to him, I hope you'll tell him about the http://inprogress.typepad.com/republicanswitchers/ website.

10. New e-mail from the author: former Freeper being posted to DU

"So I used to get props for stuff I wrote for Free Republic... and now I'm getting props for stuff I write over at Democratic Underground?

"It ain't easy being me, I'm telling ya."

He said that could be posted, "if anyone appreciates irony" :)

11. Tell him if he votes for A E Neuman again he may get him again!

Bush, "What Me Worry?"
