The Propaganda President: George W. Bush does his best Kim Jong-il (Another Slate barfer...sigh!)

Slate's Jack Shafer loses his mind again. Ironic that we should read such a hate-filled article only a few days after the revolutionary Iraq elections. Shafer must have received the go-ahead from Shrillary. Dirty $%**#@@!!

Just FYI - Slate has now been bought by Washinton Post.

I wonder if Jack Shafer drinks.... Bush doesn't and neither do I.

[NZerFromHK]

Well, if Bush were really doing his best Kim Jong-il, Shafer would now be in a "re-education camp" by now after making such statements.

*YAWN*.....These people are running out of steam...NEXT!

"submitted to their dynastic fates"

Still disillusioned over Nov elections, I see. I should write "elections" because it seems as if our author sees that Kerry support as wasted, since it's just a sham. Wait! GWB was given his father's dynasty from...Clinton?

"When Vice President Dick Cheney didn't like the campaign coverage he read in the New York Times, the Times reporter was tossed off the plane."

Hopefully without a chute!

Stupidity PLUS...When the hell are they going to give up the Bush hate..?...It's pathetic and at this point it's beyond boring YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Los Angeles Times reporter Edwin Chen complains that his newspaper has yet to score an interview with President Bush. "This White House doesn't need California, has no use for California politically," says Chen, "so we carry no clout.

Thank God for small mercies.......who wants to read the LA Times propaganda anyway?

[tkathy]

The ultimate smug, arrogant, ankle biter. Sounds like he's really talking about Clinton, Carter and Kerry. (minus the father thing).

[endthematrix]

Same for Bush speaking to NAACP.

[Ticonderoga34]

One more "Bush is an evil dictator" rant from the left. Another example of the "EVIL BUSH" theme is that Doofus Underground has numerous threads devoted to the "Bush is Hitler" theme. Of course, if Bush really was a evil dictator then the lefty loons would be in concentration camps. Also when is the last time a dictator allowed free elections in a country that had been militarily defeated.

But if you ever point these facts out to liberal they just ignore that facts or talk about ominous events that are going to occur in the future under the "EVIL BUSH". The left in this country is going insane.

Are these fools are merely repeating moveon.org's "Bush is Evil" mantra (as any democratic hack would) or do they actually believe it? I am not sure....

[West Coast Conservative]

Blah...blah...blah...

[SkyPilot]

It's been George II's good fortune to launch his campaign against the nattering nabobs of the media at a time when the Jayson Blair/Jack Kelley/60 Minutes Wednesday scandals have turned journalists into inviting targets of scorn. At this point, the average citizen thinks the average Washington reporter is a full-of-himself jackass.

If the shoe fits........

I used to ask the same question. After reading Doofus Underground and some other message boards, I have come to realization that they really believe that Bush is evil. And if you try to argue otherwise they will shout you down. Its mass psychosis.

Check out the link to the Power Point slides Shafer made for a presentation to journalism students.

Not to mention the fact that he needs a Power Point class (my 8 year old makes better slides for her grade school projects) it is clear he see the Internet and e-mail as a huge threat to traditional media and is terrified of it.

Weird slideshow....

BTW, he looks like a criminal caught in the middle of a sordid act.

Here is another photo of "Red" Jack playing quarters with another reporter.

What a jerk. This guy thinks he has an eye for propaganda? What has he ever said avout the left?

[He Rides A White Horse]

If "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il of North Korea and George W. Bush ever meet, I suspect the two will bond like long-lost brothers.

He lost me there, and I'll guess anyone else with half a brain.

Guy's a total idiot.
