As the parent of a special needs child I am offended beyond what words can express by this flyer.

This is unbelievingly offensive. Is it getting any play in the Tennessee media? It should be nationwide, but we know that won't happen.

[garyhope]

Betcha the MSM doesn't report this.

Of course, if the Republicans did something like this Ban Blather would make it the lead on his show.

[cripplecreek]

Only one problem.

The chairman of the special olympics is Timothy Shriver. (yes that Shriver family) I wouldn't expect more than a few token angry words from Shriver.

[Uncle Vlad]

No, no, no, you don't understand. There are two sets of rules: one for the Democrats and one for the Republicans. Where have you been? (sarcasm off)

[handy]

Just caught it today. As you can imagine, the parents of special needs children are an incredibly tight group. This is going out to all members of our local group, and I'm sure it will spread like wildfire. I am a huge Pub & Bush fan, but if a Republican did something like this I would raise holy hell about it.

[punster]

It is not the first time the demwits have pulled this kind of stunt. 'Spotted Al' Gore called Republicans the "extra chromosome crowd". Bigotry and condescension seem to be rampant among the democrat leadership.

You got an address for the vermin who put out this flyer???

[silent_jonny]

I saw that flyer and my jaw dropped. Can they get away with this?

[silent_jonny]

Bigotry and condescension seem to be rampant among the democrat leadership.

Don't forget hypocrisy.

I agree. I would be just as outraged if a Republican did this. It is just offensive regardless of where it comes from. My husband (retired police detective), used to work with other officers in arranging carnivals and sports activities for special needs children in our county. He loved doing it, and would come home with many heart-warming stories of strength, determination, love, affection, and joy displayed by these children. They touched his heart. This cheap shot is not only directed at the President, but at all who have special needs and those that love them.

Posted several times yesterday as well. See here for comments from yesterday.

Ok thanks. I always search, but often don't get hits on previously posted stuff.

When Kerry was pontificating last night about America being divided, W should have brought this up along with the vandalism and violence aimed at Republican offices by Democrat supporters.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Stupid thing wasn't even funny when it first appered years ago on the web ( without President Bush's face ). What makes the moronic left think it's funny now?

[Musket]

Gosh, isn't this nice? What a nice bunch of people the Democrats are!
