badmouthing our president

[Ugg]

Toast, FOX and CNN are very right leaning. FOX is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Definitely try www.npr.org. If you are lucky, Cokie Roberts will give the post-speech commentary, she is wonderful. You should have heard her on the night of our most recent presidential election.

You might also try the list of radio stations in iTunes. It looks like there might be a couple under the "public" category that might carry the speech.

I'm on NPR.

Wow... There's gonna be massive badmouthing tomorrow... And not ony n this board...

See you all after I get some sleep !

I'm listening to his speech (he gave Saddam Hussein 48 hours to leave Iraq).

How can more than 50% americans follow this piece of SH*T and his war???

He wants to fight against bombs and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and what he does?.... he uses bombs and weapons of mass destruction to solve that problem.

How can a human being be so DUMB ??????

And he does this not to assure security or to fight terrorism but only because he wants the petrol and he wants to increase his power.

Anyway, does anyone know how I can watch FOX or CNN (or equivalent) on my iMac ? Or how I can connect to US radios ? French radios will also transmit Bush's speech, but I'd like it in English, please, and I don't have TV... Can anyone help ?

zeno - you're entitled to your opinion, but please refrain from profanity while expressing it. perhaps you should read the site rules before posting further.

Racer, it not possible that I can be concerned greatly for my daughters safety and be positive and upbeat at the same time about where our president is going to take us in the future?

Fear is the path to the Dark Side... fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering.

I sense much fear in you.

Ask yourself this question (seeing as you didn't address my response to your points): would you have had any need to fear (or have concern) for your daughter's safety had Bush not come to power? Gore would have continued Clinton's endeavors to hunt down al Qaeda and move the middle east peace process forward. Gore wouldn't have sent us into an uncontrolled free fall economy and would have retained the surplus as a safety net (instead of throwing it away when we needed it most).

You say that we have something against Conservatives, but the only way anyone would be happy with our nation today would be to close their eyes to the reality of what is happening in order to support their ideological beliefs.

Theme for the 2004 elections: Are you better off now than four years ago? Do you feel safer?

About conservatives being "The most angry people" you've seen, you must not be friends with too many conservatives because that's pure myth and you've fallen for it. And I'm not attacking. I'm defending.

Your statement show that even though I do have many conservative friends and family members, you have already made up your mind. But that is a good thing because it makes you my perfect example. You, my friend, and your posts on this subject are all I need to show that the myth is real...

The myth is you.

Sounds like you have QUITE an opinion there. Your right, he did give Saddam 48 hours to leave Iraq, his son's also. But from a certain point of view, it seems like a just timeframe considering the 10 plus years Saddam Hussein has had to abide by the UN resolutions passed around the time of daddy Bush.
And yes, over 50% of the American people do follow George Bush. I believe the last time I saw an independent poll the approval rating was around 61%.
And how are you supposed to fight against bombs and weapons of mass destruction when after 12 years of diplomatic negotiations you still don't accomplish anything? With the lives of american soldiers? Or a well thought out, well orchestrated attack?
As for how a human being can be so dumb, in your sentence "dumb" is an adjective. It is a word you used to describe someone. That makes it nothing more then an opinion, your opinion. Mabye the dumb one isn't Bush at all, do you know something I don't know that gives you the facts to prove that Bush is actually

6. Conspicuously unintelligent; stupid: dumb officials; a dumb decision.

-American Heritage Dictionary, meaning of the word dumb.

I don't wanna get down on you here, but I don;'t like the way your post came over. It was just un backed disrespect of Mr. Bush. I don't completely agree with the impending war on Iraq, but I think it addresses some key points. Hussein has not obeyed UN delegations, and should be punished for it, although the US, Spain, Great Britan and Australia should not be the only nations to carry out an international sentence. But the said nations absolutely have the right to defend their peoples and country.
