‘The View’s’ George H.W. Bush Tribute Devolves Into Shouting Match
MSN News ^ | December 3, 2018 | Matt Wilstein

If there was one thing it seemed most Americans could agree on this weekend it was that former President George H.W. Bush was generally a good man who had the country’s best interest at heart.

And yet, somehow, the hosts of The View still found a way to turn his tribute into an argument on Monday morning.

Things started off cordial enough with moderator Whoopi Goldberg noting how the remembrances from Presidents Clinton and Obama have helped remind us “how you can still not agree with somebody but be respectful of somebody.”

“He seemed to be coming from a loving, kind place also,” Joy Behar added of Bush Sr. “That's what I’m gleaning from what they're talking about, that he was loving.”...

Radical Rightists, too! Lyndon LaRouche (click here) and his cultists (one of whom published a defamatory biography of George H. W. Bush [click here] and [here]) will be laughing themselves silly over such a display of phony compassion mixed with hate for the Bushes, in this moment of history.

but he had such a respect for what they did,” she said.

Respect or fear? Bottom line is that Trump just broke the 4 minute mile, now that people know it can be done a lot more people will take on the corrupt media. The old days are over.

No, after Trump we will be "blessed" with milquetoast Republican leadership, if in fact we ever see another Republican elected. Just like after Reagan, we got leadership within the party that ran away from being different than Democrats.

Bush 41 looks good on paper. But behind the war hero and the civility lurked a globalist, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

He was a classic London School of economics type, a Fabian socialist.

I wish I was as positive as you. Aside from Senator Graham, I don't see many GOPers taking his lead, I see them, for the majority, sitting back and riding his coattails and the rest actually attacking him.(neverTrumpers)

And I don't trust to turn my back on Lindsay.(no pun intended)

I'll say this about GHW Bush, I remember him as President and I came away thinking that he went out of his way to destroy the Reagan coalition as a betrayal to the base by pursuing an agenda that none of us wanted. His son did the same thing, by the way.

But reagrding the father, the more you know about GHW Bush, the more you scratch your head and say "this can't all be coincidence". He led a secretive life that put him, Zelig like, lurking in the shadows around a lot of historical events. He wasn't just an aristocratic bureaucrat turned politician. He was a spook, and a particularly spooky one that seemed to operate mostly within the USA, curiously enough.

In the CIA, in Dallas, downtown, the day Kennedy was shot. Then he lied about being there.

The guy installed hyper betrayers James Baker and Richard Darman in his administration, didn’t fight for Clarence Thomas, tanked our candidates by raising taxes on the eve of the 1990 election. Then he threw the game to his “son,” Bill Clinton in 1992. How about that David Souter?

The most meaningful thing he has done of late was feel up an actress.

Do we have to do the Rino march again because this clown died?

Yeah, well none of what they said could be as offensive as the snippets over the weekend of Colin Powell heaping praise on his former boss, the Republican president who made him Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and father of the Republican president who appointed him the first black Secretary of State of the United States - and who returned the honors by attacking the Republican party which they represented as being “racist” - the ditzes on “The View” are silly ignoramuses - Powell was a man of some intelligence and accomplishment who turned on those who played a big role in helping succeed - a traitor.....

And he bought an oil company (Zapata oil) in 1960, the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion was codenamed “Operation Zapata” and his oil rigs were used as radio towers in the invasion, then the SEC accidentally destroyed all their records on the company from 1960 to 1966. Then he was in Dallas when JFK was killed there and lied about it. And later he was close friends with the Hinkley family, one of which tried to kill Reagan. Come on man, this isn’t just some rich guy who got lucky and became President.

In 1992, GHWB threw up on the Japanese prime minister, so he’s got that going for him.

We’re being taken for a ride by the media, folks. They’ve divided themselves and us into pro and anti Trump teams and are putting on a real show, kind of like professional wrestling. Good guys and bad guys.

But if they’re hauling in audiences and sponsors then what’s to complain about?

“Talk about yesterday’s “problem.””

Did you omit the /s?

I know of no statute of limitations on murder.
