Bush Skips Another Military Funeral

Goofing around on Yahoo! Answers for the past week or so, I've noticed that one question which repeatedly comes up is why has Bush never attended a single funeral for a fallen soldier.

I’ve been to a few such festivals myself and I’ve never seen him at any of them. It's downright shameful. In fact, I was recently commenting to some of my fellow Support Our Babykilling Troops* members that an appearance by Bush, as much as we hate his guts, might actually be a good thing. It would certainly boost attendance, and perhaps draw a little extra business to our Dessert for Deserters® cupcake stand, or maybe even sell a few extra “Impeach Chimpy McBushitler” t-shirts. With thousands of peace activists coming together to protest against the Shrub’s illegal and immoral war, we also wouldn’t have to worry about our anti-Bush chants beings drowned out by 21 gun salutes or the incessant crying of neocon family members. There’d be safety in numbers, as well. I doubt any deranged jingoist will make a move on our “Babykiller Had it Coming” banner with 8,000 angry pacifists ready to scratch his eyes out if he tries. Most importantly, the large media presence that a Bush appearance always draws would open our cause to a lot of much-needed publicity.

That’s exactly why Bush will never grace one military funeral with his presence. He only cares about our troops as long as it furthers his political agenda.

** Supporting our babykilling troops must not be mistaken for support for Bush's illegal and immoral war.

yessir..numero uno.

If this facsisi leadero sentenceso uno moro soldiero to-o die-o..

I can't remember the next part of the lesson-o...

I guess Mr. Bushness wants us all to PAY for his little abssentee votes of death !!

[Dodger]

First.....

Crap.

Never mind.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The Reich Wing MSM refuses to turn these funerals into media events because they want to keep the cost of this war hidden from the American sheeple as long as they can. It is increasingly difficult for the enlightened to get through the filter and tell it like it is, that George Bush is using the military to wage WAR in the Middle East when they could be waging PEACE in Darfur.

[Bush4Ever]

Bu$Hitler should be SO ashamed!!! What with Mrs William Jefferson Clinton, Jean Francois Kerry, Bela Pelosi, The Monarch of Massachusetts, Edward Kopechne-Kennedy, and the rest of the Enlyghtened Lyberal, I mean, Progressyve, politicians attending every Funeral For A Low-I.Q., Baby-Raping, -Murdering, -Torturing, Red State, Gap-Toothed Thug In Uniform (BUT I SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!!!) in their states, he's going to cost the Re-Pugnant-KKKan Party a lot of elections in 2008!!!

I stand with you Lar! I'll claw the eyes out of anyone that questions your patriotism.

We win both ways. If he won't go to a baby-killers funeral we can say "he's cruel and doesn't care" and if he does we can say "he's only using this poor, brave soldier's death to give himself a boost in the polls!"

[DonkeyDick]

SIXTH!

OK, I just had to get it out of my system. I promise not to do it again.

[DonkeyDick]

I stand firmly with Larry and Dave and I'm sure many other brave progressyves with defending our pacifist views.

Whenever I participate in a peace march or rally, I always wear hob-nailed boots and carry a set of brass knucks. Few things are more satisfying than stomping the shit out of some baby-killing warmonger.

Especially if she's old and skinny...

[Methinks]

Aaaah! How different this fascist dictator presidento is from the greatness of FDR. All that man did was go from one funeral to another during WWII. Come to think of it, that's all Kennedy did during the Vietnam war. Come to think of it, F*CK running the country, the president's number one job has always been and will always be going to military funerals. Thank GAIAA we have a pack of unshaven and unwashed saggy-titted hippies to point that out to us.

[JannyMae]

You mean women like this one?

Wait! I'm not sure that's a woman!

this is the one

[Osama-Bush]

Nice Pics Janny Mae.

Oh to be a nudist who culd spel as goodly as that one gurl did with her "Breast is not bombs" banner.

If her boobs get any lower she can use them for a belt to hold her drawers up and hide her mangina.

[neohamster]

Sir!!!!!!
How DARE you post my dear mothers picture here. Knuckle dragging repugs like you can't percieve the beauty of a post-abortive progressyve intellectual like my dear old mum without choking your chick.... wait, Jocelyn Elders said .... uh, never mind

“...our Dessert for Deserters® cupcake stand..." -Larry

There is a problem with those cupcake stands. The last time I set one up Michael Moore ate them like popcorn and refused to pay me!

Just how many Thai sticks can you buy from Khim Lam with cupcake crumbs and beard stubble! None! Not even a few medicinal hemp seeds. And, no, I don’t want to practice karma sutra with Michael Moore!

Stop forcing your religion on us!!!

Great. Now I have the munchies for cupcakes.

[Joatmoaf]

I'm sorry, did someone mention St. Michael?
I have a picture of him doing his part for the war.

If Chimpy McSmirkFace Bu$Hitler had taken the time out to check out the cost of his Illegal and Immoral War for Oil, then maybe this brave individual wouldn't have been so stressed out that he did something that nobody in the ACLU would EVER think of doing:
ACLU ex-president charged in child-porn case

Yes. Bush is to Blame...as usual.

[Che]

A KKKommander in Chief, doesn't his absence from the funerals make him AWOL? AGAIN?!

Janny, call Mary Mapes. Arbiter, warm up your word processor typewriter. Dan Rather will be avenged!

If you go on these peace rallies or marches, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Make sure your sign is substantial, half-inch ply minimum. The heft really helps when hitting people with your "Stop the Violence" motto.

Sharpen/point the bottom of the carry stick. This is helpful when fending off the pigs who seem annoyed that you are breaking windows, setting cars on fire and such.

A catchy motto is useful. "No nooks, more nookie" for example. It doesn't have to mean anything. It's a MOTTO, man.

Tipping flag-waving veterans out of their wheelchairs is always fun.

Never, ever burn any flag but that of the United States'. We ARE considerate people, you know and wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of Iran, Cuba, Syria, North Korea or any of the more enlightened countries.

In keeping with the State of Virginia's apology for its role in slavery, I'd also like to apologize for the actions of my ancestors...

I think that my fore-folks got here too late to do any massacring or land-theft, but in case they did any of these despicable acts, I'd like to apologize to Native Americans everywhere.

And if I'm descended from Vandals or Visigoths or any of them dudes I'd like to apologize for the Sack of Rome. (Actually, the Sack of Rome was partly the fault of the Romans. If they'd had a better offensive line...)

There's a GREAT all-purpose apology by Gerard Van Der Leun at:

http://americandigest.org/mt-archives/005635.php

The original is in italics in the lower half of the page. Gerard is a gifted writer and knows how to wield words wonderfully.

Because we progressyves are living in the worst country in the worst of times ever, we are well advised to print out Gerard's all-purpose apology for future and frequent use.

Hasn't Chimpy McHalliburton figured it out yet? Like in our own progressive culture we celebrate the death of useless bags of flesh like unborn fetuses and Terri Schiavo. The least he could do is celebrate the deaths of his mind-numbed pawns stormtroopers who bravely died fighting in an ignoble, illegal and immoral war.

But don't get me wrong, I SUPPORT THE TROOPS!

Also please note that we haven't had this bad of an economy since the Great Depression.

I bet Al Gore wins an Oscars hands down ... and the Nobel Peace Prize. He should run for President since he's so groovy and so well-educated. Five thousand Hollyweirdwood thespians can't be wrong!

Artistic symbols and myths speak out of the primordial, preconscious realm of the mind which is powerful and chaotic. Both symbol and myth are ways of bringing order and form into this chaos.
