Bush is no better than Manson
Here's why:

Manson only acted on what he perceived - he thought he was hearing messages intertpreted from the ambiguous lyrics of the Beatles White Album. He thought that they were speaking of an impending race war and he was "going to show the black man how to do it"

(this is frightening enough in the context of his possible exposure to MK Ultra - he admits the murders done to be symbolic to trigger some changes in public perception)

Cut to Bush. He's hearing Messages interpreted from ambiguous Biblical passages. "God told me to strike the infidels, and I did".

The only difference is, Manson only brainwashed and killed a few people. Bush brainwashed Millions and killed tens of thousands. Fallujah was a symbolic act to affect public perception

2. He certainly sounds like Manson
I saw an interview with Manson and the accent and cadence of his speach reminded me of someone. Then it hit me, it was Bush.

3. There is no defense for Bush
He should have known better than to think he could run this nation, I don't care how dumb he might be. At least his family should have seen what a disaster he would be at the helm, and discouraged him from running. Shame on the Bush family.

Bush should be ashamed that he destroyed the economy, and then wasted billion of dollars in an ill-timed adventure.

I don't know about the Manson thing, but I have nothing good to say about Bush.

5. Actually, I think it's more like Dubya is....
...Squeeky Fromm or one of the other Manson followers and the Charles Manson figure for this administration at least is Dick Cheney. The movie Manchurian Candidate needs to be broadcast again.

Ever see the Ask Manson skits on the old Ben Stiller Show? Hilarious!
