W is signing Bibles?

[underpants]

Look I am far from a religous man but that just seems odd to me. Like clapping in church (which a few friends diagree with me on) I just think that there should be a level of reverance and such.

Strange Days.




President Bush (news - web sites) signs a Bible for a supporter during a campaign rally at Hedgesville High School's Mumaw Stadium Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2004 in Hedgesville, W. Va. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

[SoCalDem]

1. He'd sign JESUS if he could.. He signs US flags too

:grr:

[Drifter]

25. Apparently he ran out of Flags ...

Cheers
Drifter

[Beer Snob-50]

34. signing us flags?

i thought that was descration. sorta like, oh i don't know, burning a flag???

[MissAnnThrope]

58. It IS Desecration.

But the man has no concept of the flag code. I really do think someone should teach him. Or at least read it to him. There are some big words in there.

[LDS Jock]

61. I'm sure he learned all that when he served in the military

... oh wait.. never mind.

[rpannier]

2. He probably thinks...

the book is about him.

[sniffa]

weLL it is

haven't you heard? "god is in the white house"

[ClintonTyree]

9. An autobiography..............

of sorts. He thinks he wrote it, hell, why not autograph it? Think about it, God spoke to Moses through a what? A BURNING BUSH!! Coincidence? I think not!

[mrboba1]

38. oy.

don't do that to me!
:scared:

[sniffa]

3. did he sign it in bLood?

not his own of course.

[Kire]

4. it's true

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040818/480/wvpm11408180007

[stellanoir]

5. he probably thinks he wrote it

[demnan]

6. I guess he thinks he's God

Maybe the Apocalypse is coming. I would imagine he is one of Satan's minions or horsemen or something.

[underpants]

8. Can we send him to John the Baptist's newly rediscovered cave?

How strong is your faith George? What are you willing to give up?

:bounce:

[AntiCoup2K4]

46. Only if someone tells him to stay underwater....

....and don't come out until Jesus says so.

I have a feeling Jesus wouldn't be in a big hurry }(

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

16. Wonder if it says something like --

"Best Wishes for a Lovely Rapture!" or "Vote for me. I'm in the last chapter (hint:666)."

[jmowreader]

32. No, he's Satan in human flesh

Look at Jack Chick's work--when the devil comes back to earth to do his mischief, he never has horns, never has a tail and he always wears a suit.

Bush doesn't have horns, he doesn't have a tail, and if his clothes fit he'd be better dressed than one of The Hives, whose schtick is that they wear these tuxedos everywhere they go.

[AntiCoup2K4]

45. He would have been one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse except.....

....he's afraid of horses :scared:

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. wow

that's pretty low class

[sniffa]

10. this gives me an idea

maybe some peopLe can get him to autograph copies of my pet goat

[LynneSin]

14. How? Only those sworn to uphold all things Bush...

...can get to any of his rallies. Then they have photo-op crap like this to get people to think Bush is a god fearing man.

You know what really angers me. A true Christian would never EVER think to desecrate the holy bible with a signature just like a true patriot would know that signing a flag is wrong.

[underpants]

17. NPR reported this morning that A heckler got into his WV stop yesterday

Started asking questions about Iraq, al Qaeda, etc. and was promptly escorted out of the event.

[CanuckAmok]

27. Heh...I got another "true patriot" to sign a bible, Lynne...

Charleton Heston.

Hello, Ebay!

[AntiCoup2K4]

48. Did he sign it...

Best wishes (and lots of guns),

Moses

[underpants]

15. That's funny

Actually the name of the book is "THE pet goat" I was looking for an image of it and couldn't find any. I hit on a webpage that said that it actually is called "THE pet goat"-apparently the White House lied about that too.

[calico1]

24. Well, they probably refer to it as

"*MY* Pet Goat" becaue I'm sure Bush thinks he must own the goat too!

[LDS Jock]

20. That book did get him through some tough times

like the time immediately after the towers were hit on 9/11. Perfect way to avoid reality.

[Catfight]

23. ROFLMAO, signing The Pet Goat!LOL That'll make me laugh all day!

[imax2268]

11. I'm surprised

that it didn't burst into flames when he touched it...

[calico1]

12. Those idiots asking him to sign

bibles think he is Jesus, so why not? I'm surprised the campagin hasn't come out with a photo of him on a cross, crucified....... Or wait.....maybe there is one. These people have no shame and the idiots who have him sign bibles are so withdrawn from reality its scary.

[LynneSin]

13. This shows just how crazy the religious right are these days

Anyone who thinks voting for Nader is a better choice obviously is clueless to how crazy these religious nut bags really are and how another 4 years of Bush allow them to ruin this country

[tandot]

18. He thinks he is God and is just autographing his book...n/t

:evilgrin:

[meegbear]

19. It would be great to get an anti-* book,

put on a different sleeve and have him sign that.

How much would his signature on "Fortunate Son" be worth?

[underpants]

21. Now that would be great

That would be worth a lot I suspect. :thumbsup:

[alphafemale]

22. This needs to be spread far and wide.

This could be one of those tipping points for some "undecided" people...or even weak Bush supporters.

[BigMcLargehuge]

26. Someone get this thread to Mike Malloy now

I can already hear the hour of his show he'd dedicate to this picture.

[underpants]

28. Done

:thumbsup:

[BigMcLargehuge]

31. you rock!

:)

[ContraBass Black]

29. whether or not you should clap in church depends on

the style of the church.

In some it is an essential method of expressing joy and praise. In others, the congregation's job is to sit quietly and listen.

[no_hypocrisy]

30. "The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil. Love, George"

[cmf]

33. Does he think he wrote it or something?

:wtf:

[underpants]

35. AND he only had the executive summary read to him

The "Thou shalt not kill" part was not included, apparently.

[redqueen]

36. I hope Incubus wins an award for Megalomaniac

I really really really do.

:grr:

[mrboba1]

39. I love hearing that song

It rocks!
in more ways than one...

[redqueen]

40. My fave part - YOU'RE NO JESUS - YOU'RE NO ELVIS!

step down step down step down
step down step down step down

[mrboba1]

41. Full lyrics: Megalomaniac

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down
Step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down
Step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're not Elvis
...
You're no answer

Hey megalomaniac
You're not Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself, maniac
Step down

[redqueen]

42. I used to like their music

now I *LOVE* them... and their music. :)

44. EXCELLENT!

GREAT!

[redqueen]

51. AWESOME!

:yourock:

[HughBeaumont]

49. I'm not sure which site pointed this out . . .

but have you ever noticed that when Bush makes a public appearance and he's photographed shaking hands or signing something, it's almost ALWAYS a shot that's looking up at him? There was a picture in the Plain Dealer today showing the exact same type of shot of him signing autographs. The site pointed out that Hitler and Stalin used this same sort of propaganda technique when they were photographed - done to convey a "larger than life" image of the leader.

[AntiCoup2K4]

50. Probably to perpetuate the lie that Junior is "6 feet tall"

There's no way that bastard is a hair over 5' 10", but with the right camera angles, even the 5'2" Prince can appear much taller.

[underpants]

52. No accident-when Ailes ran CNBC he gave orders not to photo Clinton

from below all shots (Mr.Ailes who now runs Fox News) had to be at best even but he preferred shots from above thus not giving Clinton an imposing image.

No they almost always shoot W up-Rove places the photography wells just so.

[HughBeaumont]

53. Here we go . . .

I think its the third or fourth scene in

[bushisanidiot]

55. That's a good clip. But I found an error in it.

They've got a pic of John Kerry with Bob Kerrey's bio next to it.

[bushisanidiot]

54. I may have to add this moronic pic to my sig line

But I keep getting complaints that it's too big already.. :P

[ContraBass Black]

60. The one with the binoculars is a fake.

[KamaAina]

56. Well, he wrote it, didn't he? (sarcasm)

Why shouldn't he have book signings like any other best-selling author?

My only complaint, as his publisher, would be that he didn't leave any room for another installment :-)

</sarcasm>

[LastKnight]

57. hey megalomaniac... youre no jesus... yea youre no Fuckin elvis...

step down... step down...

ive come to like incubus latley.

-LK

[qanda]

59. This sounds like a topic that should be in GD also

I am a Christian and am totally appalled that Bush would do something like this.

[Deja Q]

62. I recall a born-again... he accidentially ripped his Bible and said it was

"just paper".

One person thinks it's just paper.

Another treats it like the original stoned ten commandments.

The looney above thinks that any criminal trying to play a (false) prophet of God should sign it.

Fine by me.
