Bush equates ‘angry Left’ with North Vietnamese torturers.»

Tonight in his address via satellite to the Republican National Convention, President Bush blasted Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) critics. Invoking McCain’s time as a POW in a North Vietnamese prison, Bush compared these torturers to members of the “angry Left”:

If the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain’s resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry Left never will.

Bush received a loud, standing ovation. Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/02/bush-angry-left/

3. Careful, Chimpy

The "angry left" are now in the majority.

You'd be wise to check your own popularity polls before stirring up those independents you HAVE.

5. I'm an angry Leftie and Bush and his co-conspirators made me that way.

And I'm certainly not from North Viet Nam and I'm not one of his Gitmo torturers.

Damn, I'll be glad when these thieves and liars are no longer in our way.

6. Bush and Vietnam?

Umm.... what the hell would George Bush know about Vietnam? Does he even know where the country is located?

[gratuitous]

7. Tell me again about playing nice?

Because it kind of cracks me up to be told to "play nice" with torturing imperialistic motherfuckers for whom wiping giant fly sphincters in Hell for all eternity would seem lenient punishment.

8. As a Viet Nam veteran and angry "leftie" I wanted to piss in his AWOL face ...

... that despicable deserter and war criminal. :grr:

[libodem]

9. I heard that

and hated it

[MisterP]

10. Prez. Numbskull went to Hanoi and told the Vietnamese, roughly,

"We could'a beaten ya easily if it weren't for the librul media"
understandably he was met with stony silence by the gathered Vietnamese

11. What planet is he from?

[booley]

12. Funny he should say that

Because after checking to make sure it turns out I and the other angry left guys haven't been the ones water boarding people as of late.

Sigh.

But of course total shamelessness is a virtue to these people.

[Vickers]

13. What does that deserter know about Vietnam?

:shrug:

[Solly Mack]

14. lololol...so Bush is saying McCain was yelled at and mocked?

because those angry on the left don't resort to Bush's enhanced interrogation techniques or Bush's frat pranks

LMAO

a war criminal, who implemented a torture policy, invoking images of torture that are no longer torture because they don't meet the war criminal's definition of torture

LMAO

15. Proud member of the Angry Left

Thank You Bush for making me that way! And I also extend honorable mention to your friends on Wall Street and the Religious Reich for helping to fertilize my anger and indignation along the way.

[Seldona]

16. What a rube.

Playing to rubes. How we ever lost to these guys is a mystery. One almost has to believe in some sort of conspiracy, what with how incredibly stupid these people are.
