This is no longer a free press. This is a press bought and paid for by the Democratic party.
I saw the remarks on FOX and the crowd applauded and supported Bush's words. Pure class.
I'm not even sure they boo'd. I heard the clip at the top of the hour and it sounded more like a reaction of surprise at the news. I didn't hear any loud boos.
People booing should be ashamed of themselves.
President Bush should have had the Secret Service spray autofire over their heads?
And the Democrats didn't stop the protesters in NYC this week either. A few boos, and I'll bet there were very few, are just as much an example of freedom of speech as the vile things I say and heard from the filthy folk protesting Bush.
There is a bit more to this statement than meets the eye. Replace it with
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ran their ads. Bush did nothing to stop them.
A subtle Dem talking point reinforcement courtesy of the AP.
All I can say is that maybe now the Left will stop their insensitive remarks about Dick Cheney's heart problems. One can hope can't one?
What the hell? I watched it live and I heard no boos; I saw a respectful round of applause and cheers.
AP: The Kerry campaign just filed a complaint with the FEC to prevent the audience at Bush's campaign rally to stop the illegal and partisan attacks against the greatest President there ever was. Mr. Bush did nothing to prevent the complaint but also did not specifically denounce the "booing".
I haerd a clip on the radio news. I heard NO booing. I would assume, even without hearing that clip, that the AP story contains at least gross exaggeration, and perhaps outright fabrications.
What utter poppycock.....like others who have already responded I heard it live and this is nothing more than media spin.
Sort of like the media claiming her Heinous was received with a standing O instead of the boos at the MTV tribute to 9/11.
If people did boo (and those would be in the vast, vast minority), then short of Bush going into the audience with a roll of duct tape, how was he supposed to stop them? Every so often, people suck and react inappropriately - how that's Bush's fault is hard to fathom.
I would think even the stupidest people in the MSM could extrapolate this into a "the protesters booed Bush during his speech and Kerry did nothing to stop them," kind of thing. But then again, that doesn't fit their agenda, so maybe not.
I am sure only a handful of people booed. The majority of the crowd had much more class than that. Leave it to spin.
If there was even one boo, the press would write that the "highly partisan crowd booed at the redmeat remarks Bush made about President Clinton."
Bush could have made a private phone call to Clinton and wished him the best. Why did he have to do it at a campaign rally with die-hard conservatives in the audience? Sheesh, I get so sick of Bush with this compassionate crap. People like Clinton hate Bush's guts.
Meanwhile at Tereza's house, Mr. French is cursing that Clinton's stolen his headlines again, and praying that if Bubba is going to die, he'll do it closer to the election so Kerry can get a bounce.
The AP should required to register as a 527 for the Rats.
Oh, for crying out loud. What's he supposed to do? Order the military to mow them down? Try to "suushhh" them, like one of the Kerry kids tried to do with that audience reaction the other day?
Well, shoot, AP can do better than this. Why not:
1. Hurricane Frances head towards Florida. Bush does nothing to stop it.
2. The sun sets in the West today. Bush has done nothing to stop it.
3. Tens of millions of people farted today. Bush did nothing to stop them.
4. Thousands of people died of natural causes today in the US. Bush did nothing to save them.
5. My teenage son was snotty to me today. Bush did nothing to stop him.
What next for these media scumbags? I'm telling you, they've gone completely bonkers in their hatred for George Bush. It's affected their minds, I swear...
Nobody here likes Klintoon and with good reason, but it is appropriate to pray for him. I will certainly pray for his spedy and complete recovery.
My dad had a quintuple bypass. I know what Clinton is facing.
Columbia Presbyterian is a good hospital, BTW, and interestingly sits on the site of Hilltop Park, the first home of the New York Highlanders, who would later become the Yankees.
