rumors
Going back at least as far as the Clinton administration, the GOP has made heavy use of unsubstantiated rumors to smear their Democratic opponents. This tactic has been so successful I really don't think we can ignore it. Many DUers will balk at adopting the dishonest tactics of our opponents. If so, stop reading now. For everyone else, here are some rumors I think we should spread. Please add your own!


  • GW Bush secretly divorced Laura and married Condi Rice.

  • Bush did not divorce Laura, but keeps Condi as a second "wife" (or bondwoman) in a polygamous arrangement. Justifies it with the Biblical account of Abraham, his wife Sarah, and his concubine Hagar (Genesis 21:10-14).

  • Ann Coulter is a pre-op male-to-female transgendered person.

  • GW Bush never stopped drinking; he only pretended he did to look like an evangelical Christian.

  • The medication Bush takes twice a day is naltrexone; prescribed by his handlers to keep him from drinking.

  • Bush's brain is so fried from alcohol and cocaine abuse he has trouble keeping his balance and suffers petit mal seizures.

  • Bush constantly confuses Austria with Australia and vice vesa. When he met Australian PM Howard he was surprised he didn't speak German.

  • Bush is in secret negotiations with Tony Blair to restore British rule to the United States; the plan is to have Queen Elizabeth appoint Bush Governor-General, and then marry one of Bush's daughters to Prince William.

1. Some rumors are scarier than others...
He told the American people that Saddam was in league with al-Qaeda.

He said Iraq was harboring a chemical weapons program.

He smokes banana peels and masturbates like an adolescent monkey.

Note: Two of the above rumors are confirmed.

3. These two I believe are not just rumors
maybe a different meds, thought.

The medication Bush takes twice a day is naltrexone; prescribed by his handlers to keep him from drinking.

Bush's brain is so fried from alcohol and cocaine abuse he has trouble keeping his balance and suffers petit mal seizures.

4. Coulter's not a politician.
We are liberals, so trying to smear someone based on gender orientation does not fit here. That's a republican tactic. She's mentally ill, for sure, probably a sociopath, as Al Franken said, "even her friends say there is something wrong with her." Her hypocrisy in claiming to be a Christian and non-feminist need to be gone after instead. A) she sleeps around alot that much she admits to, how christian B) she's as feminist as they come, otherwise she'd be a married housewife with 5 kids and a sixth on the way, baking brownies for the church bazaar. I believe she is an a-political sociopathically ambitious person who has honed in on the quickest and easiest way for a white person with a big mouth, a vagina and no conscience to make a whole lot of money.

10. The Austria / Australia thing is ridiculous.
pResident Bush wouldn't expect the Australian PM to speak German. He'd expect the Austrian PM to speak "Austrian".

14. I don't know about the return of British rule here, but I have noticed
that all the Amoco stations are becoming BP stations. This started around the time the war started.

16. But around here, all the BP stations became UNOCAL's.
And Hamid Karzai used to work for UNOCAL, so does that mean this is now the United States of Afghanistan? :shrug:

17. The truth is
damning enough. Just have to get the masses of sheep to accept it instead of the propaganda.
