Mrs. Bush's People Lied (Laura Bush dons Muslim headscarf)
Debbie Schlussel ^ | 10/25/2007 | Debbie Schlussel

Posted on 10/26/2007 4:11:31 AM PDT by WWTD

When I first wrote about First Lady Laura Bush's latest Breast Cancer Awareness Tour of the Extremist Islamic World (redundant), I noted that Mrs. Bush's PR team told the press that she would not, under any circumstances, don an Islamic headscarf or anything of the sort:

"They do not expect nor encourage it," of Western visitors at official meetings, said Bush's spokeswoman, Sally McDonough. "As members of the official traveling party, we will not need to wear any head scarves or abayas at any point."

I didn't buy it. And, as usual, my instincts were correct. This is Sheikha Laura, yesterday, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (thanks to reader "greatcometof1577").

No, Bush claims to be a Christian. Christians don’t follow people, they follow God’s Word.

One of God’s commandments is not to lie.

Another thing a Christian is not to do is praise false gods and religions.

Bush lies and praises false religions, ie., islam, which is of the devil.

Regarding the Admin Moderator? Disgusting can get you banned from this forum.

Well I didn't inform the Admin Moderator about your disgusting quote. You did.

So now I am trying to get you banned? Talk about needing to lighten up...Anyway, I think you are entertaining.

Too bad whining can’t. Now that IS condescending.

No, I would call that projection.

I am well, thank you.

Extremism from either side is totally blind with rage. If Ms. Bush were to wear a head scarf while visiting the Pope or attending a funeral, I’m sure that someone would be upset. I understand that this particular scarf was a gift and worn only for the moment. Being polite even to your enemies (when you are not actively trying to kill them) is only rational. Someone needs to get a life.

Is there a 10 year limit on posting at this forum? The possibility of insanity perhaps? For you Synero may be reaching your brink.

You, without even considering the humor in my remark railed me as disgusting. Now how will you show me this logic without sounding insane? Never mind, don’t bother.

Good day.

You cannot make a false statement about something that has not happened yet unless you purposefully mislead.

Oh I realized you were attempting humor, and maybe even trying to be shocking.

Not my type of humor, sorry.

Railing you as disgusting?

No, the comment was disgusting. I never gave a thought to as to whether you were disgusting or not.

And I didn't see my comments as being bitter or abusive, maybe a bit harsh though.

So I am Francis, Syncro and now Synero?

Oh and thanks for the kudos noob...

Good day to you also. I didn't mean to hijack this thread, but it can use the bumps.

And no, I can't use logic to answer a false statement. You got me there Poobear.

I won't comment on your "insanity" and "insane" remarks, that would be crazy.

I can understand the worry over the death threats - that was not my gripe with her; it was a totally different matter. There's a difference between "whining" over death threats and whining over hurt feelings. At any rate, my point was that she changed the way she approached many topics and I no longer enjoy reading her the way I used to. It's good to know that she still has a faithful following though because she earned it.

God Bless

“You are also a tool!”

The intellectual weight of your ad hominem is light as a feather.

When Nancy Pelosi wears a headscarf it is bad, but when Laura Bush wears one, it is good? I don’t understand.

I’m not putting on a Slave Rag just to be polite, and I don’t like seeing the first lady in one. Why did they give her the swaddle, if they weren’t trying to get a photo op?

Yeah, and I can tell how much you love the phrase “ad hominem” and the charge therein. You sir are still a tool, but a GIANT tool...intellectually speaking.

Debbie, Debbie, GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT. Laura was being gracious in accepting a gift.

Accepting the scarf and putting it on briefly (most of the time on this trip she has been bare-headed) was a gracious gesture. No more.

That's the way I see it.
