There is no need to get personal, and yes, I have already tried to delete the whole ost, but Skuzzy needs to do it.

"What do you think" was a statement, not a question or invitation to argue this idiotic post/topic.

You're making a comment on something that you claim you didn't watch. How do you know it's tasteless? What about it is?
Why do you feel a need to post on something you claim to not have watched, but yet you make a judgement on?
If you perceive my comments as as a personal insult/attack to you, then you have my apologies and I will withdraw further comment on this thread.
I just find it puzzling that anyone would make subjective comments on a video they claim they actually haven't viewed.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

That cartoon just tells the truth about Bush, I suppose that's why it makes the right wing posters on this UBB upset.

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be funny or scathing? I like satire as much as the next but that's just dumb.

Exactly. No one is really upset I don't imagine, it's just weak and tasteless. And to refer it as "truth"?

Like I said, my cousin licked the candyland board, we beat him up. He turned out ok, he was only 5 though.

Let me rephrase creamo.

All the events depicted in that flash video are true, it's an assumption on my part that Bush would rather that none of us remember the times he's dropped the ball.

I like satire as much as anyone, heck my favorite show is the Daily Show on comedy cent.  But this is just wrong, some of us lost friends that day and using it as an excuse to poke fun at a man placed in a very hard place is just wrong.  I couldn't do any better in his place and you couldn't either.  Your turn the other cheek way of doing things is how Clinton got us here in the first place.  It's simple, there is no way of handeling this and come out smelling like a rose, it is just a sh#$ty situation to begin with.  SOmetimes you have to get some dirt under you nails to get the job done.

US was into this long before Clinton and Bush surely isn't getting it out of this, just digging it a grave.

The animation did nothing but make 6 or 7 statements but it has caused a lot of anger. Could someone answer a couple of questions.

1) Were any of these statements false?
2) Which one(s) would cause offense to victims of 9/11?
3) Is putting 9/11 in a cartoon wrong? (even though the cartoon seems to be saying some of the heroes, the firemen, were poorly treated thru cutback and lies.)

Everyone of the statements where George Bush says that "you're not supposed to remember that" are false. He never said them, clear enough?
