Native Americans Criticize Bush's Silence

Yes, it's all Bush's fault because he didn't speak out after it happened.

Bush Places Call To Tribal Leader

[matymac]

Well I say...go scalp yourself.
No matter what Bush does it will never be enough.
At least Bush is pretending to show his pain like ClinTOON did with Columbine...

[dirtboy]

Words fail me.

[eyespysomething]

I thought he said something about it?

Let me look around.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Kinda makes sense a little... I don't think it's a racial thing necessarily, but President Bush HAS spoken about other School Shootings, so...

[No Longer Free State]

Oops. Forgot the obligatory, "Hey, Ceci, which democrat's hand is stuck in your back making your mouth move, today?"

[Chad Fairbanks]

Thanks for the link... I'm glad to see he HAS, in fact, said something.

[FormerACLUmember]

Oh please, this are democrat party agents spreading bile.

If Bush said anything, these same weasels would be all over him for God knows what.

[dirtboy]

From near the bottom of the article:

In the hours after the massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, President Bill Clinton publicly expressed his condolences and followed up a few days later with a radio address in which he proposed new gun control measures and school safety projects.

So Clinton chimed in on Columbine ... to play politics with gun control. These arsewipes are shameless.

[WKUHilltopper]

As soon as he said something, they'd be bitching about him using it as political gain...

Bush calls Red Lake tribal leader

[dfwgator]

What he's really upset about is that President Bush didn't use the shooting as an excuse for calling for a ban on assault rifles.

[KC_for_Freedom]

Yeah, and if they did look closely at this case with its forshadowing and lack of proper treatement for this kid they would huff and puff about racism for a different reason. If these people had voted for Bush maybe he would pay more attention to them. But not calling attention to a lot of failings in the school and commuinity may be a blessing.

[conservative cat]

What is he supposed to do? Go on tv, force a tear, and tell us how he feels their pain?

[AmericanInTokyo]

The cynical view would be to say, "We've got too many of these mass shootings in America for the President to offer condolences in each and every case."

That might well be the European view. (Or the India view. Or the Korean view. Or the Japanese view. Or the Aussie view).

[SteveMcKing]

Then he should come out and condemn Prozac, because it's as much to blame as the crazy little kid, most likely.

[Chad Fairbanks]

No no no. I doubt you'll find very many indians, on either side of the political spectrum, wanting any serious gun grabs or bans...

[matymac]

I'm surprised that someone hasn't said that it was because White Men invaded America that made this happen.
After all if we never gave the Indians guns this Kid would have went after people with a bow and arrow instead. We all know you have a better chance against an arrow than a gun...
