Pro - Bush Booth Stirs Anger at Convention
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 3:15 p.m. ET

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) -- They stop abruptly when they see the 5-foot-tall photo of President Bush, with ``muslimsforbush.com'' above his head.

Then come the outbursts.

``Disgusting,'' said one onlooker. ``Take that down,'' said another.

At the largest annual convention of American Muslims, a pro-Bush booth has stirred anger among attendees who believe the president's actions since Sept. 11, 2001, have hurt more innocent Muslims than terrorists.

``I think President Bush has misled not only the United States, but the world,'' said Noor Maciael, an educator who called the booth ``disgusting'' and planned to vote for Democrat John Kerry. ``He has put us in a situation where the whole world is hating this country.''

The display was funded by Muhammad Ali Hasan and his mother, Seeme, who recently created the group ``Muslims for Bush.'' Seeme Hasan said in a phone interview that she and her husband Malik, a Colorado physician who earned his wealth in the health care industry, have donated more than $1 million to Bush and Republican causes since the 2000 campaign

4. I know this guy.....

He's a Denver Nuggets fan and posts on the same board as me (Go Nugs!). He's a nice guy, but really confused IMO. Not to mention the fact that he's Muslim, but he's also working as an independent film producer -- something the far right probably wishes would go away.

[JLucas4092]

6. BTW......

One of the better ones I've seen is:

"Poor African Americans for Slavery"

[Hawkeye-X]

22. talk some sense willya?

Nugs fan here. Looking forward to this season.

:hi:

[JLucas4092]

27. We're Taking Over The World!

I know there's another poster on that same Nugs board that hangs out here. Not sure if he posts or not. Name is TNF there.

BTW, if you want, drop me an e-mail and I'll hit you up with a link to the Nugs board. It's VERY off-topic centered a lot of times, but some good stuff none the less. And only two or three really conservative people there, and they avoid our politics thread.

5. Floridians for Frances...

[Dudley_DUright]

20. That's me - Go Frances

(Just kidding of course. GO AWAY Frances.)

[gatlingforme]

9. "earned his wealth"

earned, I doubt it. accumulated, yes.

[wrang_wrang]

16. The Republicans are a very big tent for the Fortune 100

http://www.muslimsforbush.com/press/index.html

Seeme’s work also includes a strong business mind. She greatly assisted her husband, Dr Malik Hasan, in his pursuit of creating an HMO that was for the patients and ran by doctors! Qual-Med, which later became HealthNet, became a Fortune 100 company under the work of Dr Hasan and guidance of Seeme.

The quotes on their website must grate on the ears of every one of Bush's bigoted Christian conservative supporters who expect Bush to lead the Crusade that will eradicate Islam from the face of the earth.

I'm not sure I understand this Bushism though:
“Because this great nation of many religions understands, our war is not against Islam, or against faith practiced by the Muslim people.”

(What faith do Muslims practice other than Islam?)

24. Wealthy Muslims are generally voting Kerry

Money is not always enough to corrupt everyone. I know a quite wealthy Muslim who voted for Bush last time but he has absolutely disowned him in spite of his huge tax cut. It's those looks in the airport that did it for him.

10. HEZBOLLAH!!!!

Hey, someone had to say it.

[manic expression]

11. Palestinians for Sharon!

eom

[TahitiNut]

12. Millionaires for Mammon ...

... more money is never enough. The "Health Care Industry" is just another euphemism for egregious enrichment from the misery and death of others.

Where there is Pestilence, there is Profit ... and the Bu$holini$ will be there with health care profiteers.
Where there is Famine, there is Fortune ... and the Bu$holini$ will be there with agribusiness profiteers.
Where there is War, there is Wealth ... and the Bu$holini$ will be there with militarist profiteers.
Where there is Death, there is Power ... and the Bu$holini$ will be there with petrochemical profiteers..

It's just the same ol' Avaricious Apo-Calypso ... the dance of dunces celebrating deception and deceit.

[Fatima]

26. Yeah I heard about these idiots-

Traitors to the Ummah (community of believers), both of them. Do they think their money will save them from persecution? Bush probably pockets the money and laughs, "look at these suckers!"

[Catfight]

28. Give the complainers a purple bandaid and send them home.

Bush will take any vote he can get. Talibans for Bush!

[Edmond Dantes]

29. Drunk Drivers for Bush!

Pornographers for Cheney!

[AP]

30. The Hasan's should have started "Health Care Industry Millionaires for...

...Bush" and they should have taken it arround to Health Care Industry Conventions instead.

[quaoar]

31. New Yorkers for Al Qaeda

Tibetans for China
African-Americans for the Klan
