Bush & Rummy & Dick didn't kill anyone, & neither did Charles Manson.
Although Charles Manson never actually killed anyone, he's in prison for the rest of his life because he apparently had the mystical power to make others kill under his orders.

The Marines involved in the Haditha Massacre will go to prison, or even face the death penalty, while George, and Donald, and Condi, and Dick will retire with gigantic pensions and make speeches about the glorious war until they are old, old men.

But these men don't have wild hair or crazy eyes and they don't blather when they speak, they wear expensive suits, ride in limos and hobnob with popes and potentates. These men are elected officials and appointed dignitaries, and they too have this mystical power to make men kill for them.

Weird huh?

2. They all of the same fur
All of them are wolves in sheep's clothing. The American people are their sheeple. It's time to tear off those disguises and show the Sheeple who is watching over them.

3. Excellent analogy
I noticed you included Ms Prawn Fried as a "he". Funnily enough I keep looking to see if "it" has got an Adams apple.

4. Manson did kill a few people, it was only at the Tate house that he wasn't
there. At the LaBlancs he went inside to show the family how it was done. Read Helter Skelter. The only problem was the state had some real whacked out freaks to relie on. But its a fact he murdered Tex.

5. Yeah, but he wasn't convicted of murdering Tex
Although I'm probably wrong. I'm sure he's killed somebody.

8. Mainly because the family members kept changing their stories about
Charlies involvement in things was the reason they didn't get him as an active party in the murders. In todays world Charlie would have been convicted reguardless of family members changing stories.

10. Thanks.
I've always found it fascinating, and the family was a microcosm of today's U.S. government.

7. Bush killed a bunch of people in Texas!
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 07:24 AM by Hubert Flottz
All he would have had to do to save them, would have been to say the words. He never saved a single one! Then he stood up on TV, in front of the nation and smirked and bragged about what he had done in Texas during campaign 2000.

Edit...the people Bush offed in Texas were "just politics" to him and Herr Karl...

15. I was gonna say the same
Tex might be a little bummed out to find out that not only is he in prison, but he has been murdered too. But I can't remember the guy's name he was accused of killing.

21. The book said Tex Watson, the guy who turned the family in.
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 10:37 AM by mrcheerful
The book said he disappeared without a trace and some family members said he and Charlie went for a ride. I admit my memory might not be good, I read the book 25 or 30 years ago.

On edit your right he is alive, like I said the book helter skelter and the movie both had it that Charlie killed him right after the tate murders. Also theres been alot more research in the last 40 years thats cleared alot of the myths up.

11. That's right! And the Imperial Blivet says that not all poor people are
killers, so there must be a bunch who are!

16. What I was pointing out was the difference in how Manson was...
treated by the courts and how Bushco will be treated.

18. Thanks, Philosoraptor. I've been posting similar thoughts for
some time now.

Sure, Bush may not measure up to being another Hitler; but his actions and those of the Bush Crime Family have killed thousands upon thousands of innocent people, far surpassing the murderous crime spree of Charles Manson.

20. Bush has killed many
by allowing the execution to go forward. perhaps the reason he refused to read the pleas of those about to die is that he couldn't read at all. Although Henry Lee Lucas did fascinate him so much that they swapped stories and Henry was allowed to live.
