BUSH BASHING PIG HITS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Sun Sep 17 2006 18:53:38 ET
ROGER WATERS [PINK FLOYD] CONCERT TOUR HITS NORTH AMERICA AND NYC WITH FLYING PIGS, URGING DEM VOTES IN ELECTION, 'IMPEACH BUSH' WRITTEN ON REAR OF PIG FLOATING OVER AUDIENCE... One concertgoer writes: 'Seeing Bush's name written across the pig's arse made me howl'... The pig had graffiti. 'New Yorkers/Don't be led to the slaughter/Vote November 7'... another attendee played off the hit 'Another Brick in the Wall': ''We don't need no thought control,' even from Mr. Waters'...
Another sends a review: 'I attended the Roger Waters 9/15 show at Jones Beach, Wantagh, NY. At one point during the show Waters juxtaposed pictures of the President, Karl Rove, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher with pictures of Osama bin Laden, Mao Zedong, Stalin, and other world tyrants. Rogers asked whether 'these people [Arabs] are really are enemies'. This took place during his anti-Bush/Blair song 'Leaving Beirut' in which he claimed 'that Texas education must have really f*cked you up' and asked why Tony the 'US poodle/pawn' is a warmongerer'...
Developing...
New Yorkers hate President Bush because he is a white male conservative, and he's Christian. OBL's demise would not make any difference in the attitude of the gun-grabbing, baby-killing fudge packers.
Looks like Pinko Floyd is reliving the haze and daze of the sixties. I think their solution in Iraq is to cut and "run like hell".
The poster wrote that everyone cheered when Bush was referred to as the biggest terrorist in the world. I seriously doubt that that kind of response rises from the "righteous anger" of victims over the fact that Bin Laden has yet to be killed. Sounds like garden variety Lefties engaging in raw and irrational hatred of Bush and nothing more.
My rock star can whip the liberal's rock star:
ALICE COOPER: Anybody that looks to a rock star for political guidance is an idiot.
INTERVIEWER: A lot of people in rock and roll, it's very fashionable to despise George W. Bush. That's not a view you subscribe to, is it?
ALICE COOPER: Well, I think if you're in a war, you don't want a poodle in there, you want a pit bull. I don't think that you want a guy in there going, "Gee, I don't know. Maybe. Could be." I think you want a guy in there who's either going to win it or lose it.
...
INTERVIEWER: It doesn't worry you, the false connection that was made between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein, all that stuff that's been shown?
ALICE COOPER: No. It doesn't bother me because I honestly think it's all connected.
INTERVIEWER: The one thing we do know about 9/11 is that nobody involved in it actually came from Iraq. That's probably the one thing we absolutely know.
ALICE COOPER: Well, it's probably true, but I can't see them going, "Oh, gosh." The guys in Iraq going, "Gee, how horrible for America." I think there's a general feeling in that world that if America falls they'll be in a much better state, so we have to view those people in the same boat. I don't see much difference between the al-Qaeda and Iraq - not the people, I'm talking about the governments. The people, the poor people, are the victims.
INTERVIEWER: Saddam and Osama bin Laden actually hated each other.
ALICE COOPER: Hated each other a lot, I'll bet. They traded Rolls Royces. You don't think there was a cigar going around when that happened at 9/11. I'll bet you there was.
When a Democrat is President, New Yorkers will address problems as problems. When a Republican is President, all the world's problems are placed on him.
New Yorkers have displaced all their anxiety about Islamic terrorism, an unsolvable problem, and placed in onto Bush, whom they can openly hate without getting their heads chopped off and feel like they're being productive. Hold a "Bush is Hitler" rally in Union Square, and all your bohemian neighbors will tell you that you're brave. Go to the Al Farooq mosque on Atlantic Avenue and hold a rally where you say "Islam is the problem!" and they will come out and kill you where you stand, just like they did Ari Halberstam. If you are an effete New Yorker who wants to feel like a hard guy doing something about terrorism, obviously your only option is to blame it all on Bush.
I live in New York City, and the "It's our fault they attacked us" rallies were already starting to form in Washington and Union Squares within two weeks of the attack, long before there was any action on Iraq.
What if you lived in a village that was being attacked repeatedly by a bear, and some people said, you either had to accept being killed at some point by the bear, or you had to go out into the woods with your blunderbuss and confront the bear. Well, a possible reaction to being faced with this choice would be to develop the theory that the bear is attracted to the village because the chef at the village inn cooks tasty food and that attracts the bear, so if they can manage to kill the chef, they won't have to confront the bear. They make a plan to take out the hapless chef, which is insane of course, but has the advantage of being immeasurably more appealing than hunting the bear, which would be scary.
New Yorkers, cowards that they are, are conspiring to kill the chef rather than the bear. It has nothing to do with Iraq or OBL at this point. It has to do with psychological displacement of fear onto New Yorkers' traditional objects of hatred: White male Christians. The appeal of doing this is too powerful to resist, apparently. I was driving on the FDR, and someone had hung a sign from an overpass "Osama Bin Forgotten!" What a crock. New Yorkers would like to think this is all about Bush and OBL. But that doesn't explain '93 and Abdul Rahman Yasin. So they don't talk about him and he's gone down the memory hole.
FOTFLOL!
Osama has lost a lot and is getting away with nothing. Do you think voting for Dems is going to get Osama?
New Yorkers care less about OBL and concentrate on bush as the cause of all that happened on 9/11. I'm hard pressed to ever engage in a rational conversation of the FACTS anymore when in NYC.Mass stuidity is the order of the day .
His career was doomed when he let it be known that he was a Bushbot. You would have thought he said he was an axe murderer!
To be honest I dont know where all the Bush supporters are . I NEVER meet any .All of NY and NJ are raging liberals . New England as well. Is there anyone who supports the WOT ?
Post-Syd Barrett Floyd sucks anyway
Well. There's still David Gilmour, I suppose.
Who is getting away with it? Bin Laden is in hiding, much of his organization in shambles and he is on the run. We just haven't found his spyder hole yet.
The only kick in the nuts is when fellow citizens are on the side of the terrorists and condemn our country for not understanding the muslim scum who are so peaceful they threaten to cut off our heads if we don't believe them.
Alice rules..
I like this question:
INTERVIEWER: The one thing we do know about 9/11 is that nobody involved in it actually came from Iraq. That's probably the one thing we absolutely know.
What A.C. should have pointed out is every single one of the mutts involved in the first WTC attack came into the US with IRAQ passports! Not Saudi passports, not Pakistani passports, but IRAQ passports. I haven`t read about what passports the 911 hijackers used, but it wouldn`t suprise me in the least if they used Iraqi ones as well.
Now why would they choose to use Iraq passports? Because they had HELP from Iraq! Liberals seem to forget that after the Gulf war, after we humiliated Saddam out of Kuwait, Saddam wasn`t exactly sitting on his arse all humbled and cowering, but in full throated desire for revenge and it`s no coincidence that we had all those terror attacks in the `90`s.
To say Iraq/Saddam wasn`t involved in terror or 911 in the least is total BS, and all these liberals who think for second Saddam wouldn`t have handed them bio weapons or nukes to use next is completely out of their minds. Liberals always want to wait until something terrible happens before they want to do something, and that lasts for about a day before they go right back to supporting these pyschos.
