A couple of weeks ago I unleased John Kerry's Bad Rap on FR and do to overwealming hits, I had to move it to a new server due to it crushing my server space on sbcglobal. (thank you one and all!)
The Kerry Rap in all honesty was a secondary project. I always wanted to do a serious flashmovie on President Bush with Johnny Cash singing "When The Man Comes Around" (your spared my singing voice)
I collected literally hundreds of photos published in the "Day in the Life of President Bush Thread". (Special thanks to freepers GretchenM, MJY1288, rintense, TruthNtegrity, ohioWfan who found them and keeps the threads updated! Your finds were and are incredible, and all credit I give to you!)
I finally figured it out how to arrange it and after editing Johnny's song down a bit, and playing hookie from work, its done. Not JibJab quality, but hey, I ain't that good in Flash neither!
Its a slideshow comprised of all the Best 'W' photos I could find on FR.
So here is it's debut! http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bommer/When_The_Man_Comes_Around.html Be forwarded that its 5 megs so your download on a dial up will be awhile. DSL & Cable, about a minute or so streaming. If you want the exe, it was cleared of any viruses on 3 different scan programs, so perfectly safe! Just right click and save. http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bommer/When_The_Man_Comes_Around.exe
Anyone out there willing to post this on their server space to eleviate the congestion I'm about to get whacked with, send me your email and I'll send you the .swf, html and .exe files for you to post.
Hope you enjoy it!

You were the one who chose music that speaks of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. You are comfortable with that association. Others are not. BTW, I paid you a compliment on your work. Maybe you are the one who needs to get over it.

Let us bump it. Again, and again.
Here's another thread running, just posted yesterday:
When the Man Comes Around (Best Bush Video Ever) -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1250511/posts?q=1&&page=1
Lots of us are sending it on via email lists. I've sent it to Gov. Bush. Need to send to Hannity, Rush et al, though probably others have done that already. The Man and Laura really need to see this -- lot's of folks "get it".
thanks for that ping, Misty . . . you're right, this is excellent.
You're right, Bommer -- Bush is "The Man". Not likely to be confused with Jesus the Son of God, our Saviour.
This movie speaks to minds AND hearts; it has real power -- and I've seen lots of others posting that same sentiment. I've been praying that all voters will have a moment before they cast their ballot in which they reflect on what's at stake in this election, on what is right, and what is just simply dead wrong.
Glad you enjoyed it!
well, I missed your ping the other day -- those posts of kerry smiling when he got his hunting license musta blinded me! :o) But I read about the movie elsewhere, and noticed your ping here. Here's hoping lots of folks see it!
LOVE your video, Bommer. Great job.
Well said, I dont think he's comparing Bush to Christ, it was a well chosen song and well chosen pictures. Timing between visual and audio was great. Cash was referring to Jesus, Bommer was referring to Bush. To imply that this piece of work is in someway blasphemous is ridiculous.
powerful stuff

Okay, so maybe it's not a perfect fit, but Bush doesn't have any delusions of divinity, and we're not likely to get confused either.
The more I watch it, the better it gets.
That is some good stuff.
I hope somebody gets the link to W.
Thanks,
