The White House has no intention of letting Sen. John Kerry off the hook for praising Whoopi Goldberg and other Hollywood celebs as the "heart and soul of America" after she compared President Bush to her private parts at a Radio City Music Hall fundraiser last week."The other day my opponent said, when he was with some entertainers from Hollywood, that they were the heart and soul of America," Bush told two rallies in Michigan, reports the New York Post. "I believe the heart and soul of America is found in places right here," the president added. Crowds at both stops erupted in cheers after Bush blasted the Kerry-Edwards-Goldberg filthfest.
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said yesterday that conservative "activists" should organize protests over the Goldberg episode at Kerry-Edwards rallies.
"We ought to have volunteer activists who start showing up around Kerry-Edwards events with signs demanding that they release the videotape of the entertainment last Thursday night," he told radio host Sean Hannity.
Gingrich added, "Maybe the activists who are listening to this could help with this a bit" - a message apparently directed at members of FreeRepublic.com - the internet group that proved so effective during the 2000 election and Florida recount.
Gingrich said the tape was important because it would show how Democats on hand "reacted to demeaning the President of the United States.
"I suspect what you'll find is that people like Kerry and Edwards were smiling and applauding and being positive about this kind of vicious character assassination."
The architect of the Republican revolution suggested that the Bush campaign paint the event as "a tale of two Hollywoods."
"We'll take Arnold Schwarzenegger, they get Michael Moore. We'll take Mel Gibson, they get Whoopi Goldberg. And let's see how the country [reacts] faced with that kind of a choice."
I think it was a French reporter who was critical of the Russian war on chechnya.
That would cause me to lose my milk 'n cookies. :SCREAM:
Hard to say, apparently. In this version it was a Danish reporter.
"The Kommersant business daily reports Mr Putin was asked (by) a Danish reporter why Russia was using mine warfare in the separatist North Caucasus republic and exterminating Chechen civilians."
CBS reports it was a French reporter.
" A French reporter who questioned the Kremlin's war in Chechnya provoked an angry outburst from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who challenged him to convert to Islam and come to Moscow for circumcision."
this link says it was a French reporter from Le Monde.
What I thought was really funny was that apparently the translator left out some of it and it was only later, in Russia and because of those who spoke Russian and understood Putin, that it came out what he had said.
Although I haven't seen him referred to this way before, it fits him perfectly. Thanks.
We'll take Ted Nugent.
They can have Bruce Springsteen.
We'll take Bo Derek. They can have anyone they want.
Nicely done!
:-)
I laffed m'self silly.
The difference between Republican and Democrat fundraisers has long been class vs. crass.
He did say it. I googled for it and couldn't come up with it, but he definitely said it. He was trying to say the human community is one big family and Osama was just a bad boy, a misguided little brother, who needed love not discipline. It was typical touchy-feely liberal-speak.
While they can have all of those environmentalist wackos, we'll have Darrell Waltrip bashing liberals on his campaign work for GWB.
You're welcome. Feel FRee to use it as you wish. BTW, I have been using it from time to time in past postings.
Sounds interisting. But who will cover it? Who has the tapes? Answering to myself: The DNC.
Overall, great idea. Here's to street activisism.
Never trust a person with no eyebrows!
Somebody with PhotoShop experience needs to take that bathtub picture and place some bubbles in a disparaging location. Maybe a floater too.
Done.
She gets my vote.
Activists: Feel free to reproduce at will on large placards:
Pete Sampras stated he was "voting for the man from Texas" in the last election and the media savaged him.
