Neo-fascist tactics find their way into Bush's SS flimflam road show. |
Published on Friday, February 4, 2005 by the Associated Press
Some in Fargo Find They're Not Wanted at President's Speech
FARGO, N.D. -- City Commissioner Linda Coates says she was shocked to learn
she and her husband were among more than 40 area residents on a list of
people barred from attending President Bush's speech here Thursday.
The list was supplied to workers at the two Fargo distribution sites, along
with tickets and other forms citizens were asked to fill out, The Forum
reported.
The list includes critics of Bush or the war in Iraq. It includes two high
school students, a librarian, a deputy Democratic campaign manager and a
number of university professors.
Coates said she originally was not planning to attend the president's
speech, but got a last-minute ticket Wednesday night from Fargo Mayor Bruce
Furness, who offered tickets to all city commissioners.
White House spokesman Jim Morrell and Don Larson, a spokesman for Gov. John
Hoeven's office, said they knew nothing about a list of people barred from
the speech.
"This is the first I'm hearing of it," Morrell said Wednesday.
Coates said she had no idea why she would be on a list, other than the fact
that she has been outspoken in her political beliefs.
"I thought that was democracy," she said.
"To me, this is very revealing as to what this administration is all about -
someone who doesn't want disagreement," said Coates, whose husband, Mike, is
also on the list. "That's not healthy."
Also on the list was James Holm, the producer of "The Ed Schultz Show," and
Berrett Gall, the former deputy campaign manager for Democratic
gubernatorial candidate Joe Satrom. Holm, a staunch Democrat, said he felt
honored.
The Forum said many on the list are current or former members of the
Fargo-Moorhead Democracy for America Meetup Group, a local group working for
"socially progressive" candidates.
Morrell said the White House is not directly involved in the ticket
distribution but works with state and local officials to coordinate the
process.
"I'm not aware of any list or of anyone being denied," he said.
Larson, Hoeven's spokesman, echoed that statement.
"I don't know anything about the list," he said. "No one was denied
tickets."

Words mean nothing -- nothing to George Bush. They are just utterances. They
have no meaning. Bush can say again and again, "well, we don't do torture."
We know what happened. We know about Abu Ghraib. We know, we see
anecdotally.

"......The list includes critics of Bush or the war in Iraq......"
"......barred from attending President Bush's speech......"
Why would critics be barred from an audience ?

Why is it considered bad form to not invite known liberal detractors to
Bush's public gatherings, while the left would never be caught dead inviting
a conservative to one of their propaganda fests?
This Linda Coates and her hubby are perfect liberals. In fact, she is such a
butinski, she's even whining for the Bureau of Land Management to issue
birth control to the wild horses in their area.

Why does the president of the U.S. have an invitation only propaganda fest?
Why is the president of the U.S. so weak that he has to block those who
might ask real questions about his attempt to privatize Social Security?

Does it bother you that they're not kissing Rush's *****?

The greater the leader, the greater the follower. Personalities who as
individuals are particularly narcissistic are the most qualified to fit this
function. The narcissism of the leader who is convinced of his greatness,
and who has no doubts, is precisely what attracts the narcissism of those
who submit to him. The half-insane leader is often the most successful one
until his lack of objective judgment, his rage reactions in consequence of
any set-back, his need to keep his image of omnipotence may provoke him to
make mistakes which lead to his destruction. But there are always gifted
half-psychotics at hand to satisfy the demands of a narcissistic mass.

Tell you what.
The next time the Dems hold a "town meeting" photo op in the Boston
area, please ask them to invite me.
I have a thousand questions for them.
Why is the president of the U.S. so weak that he has to block those who
might ask real questions about his attempt to privatize Social Security?
During the 2004 campaign, why was Kerry so weak that he refused to allow
the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to confront him directly about his
Vietnam War service?
See? It cuts both ways.
Like I said, I cordially volunteer my services. I will be happy to
travel anywhere and question ANY Democrat politicians on ANY topic. Any
time! Any place!

You go by Black Elk at Wind River. I'm assuming that means you're an
American Indian.
OK, Tonto, I've got a question. Is it true that you flint chippers eat dog
meat. I knew one of you whisky apes in the service who told me about how you
***** your own children.
