Yesterday's proof that Bush is a retard!
Psycho Dave
service agents for shouting "Bush, Please make him stop killing!"
during Chinese Premier Hu Jintao's speech, Bush apologised to Hu,
calling it "unfortunate".
Wait a second! What the heck?
WHAT was unfortunate?
It's UNFORTUNATE that Bush wasn't able to CONTROL other people's FREE
SPEECH as well as he has at previous media events?
It's UNFORTUNATE that someone voiced their opinion in public, using
their free speech?
It's UNFORTUNATE that a person publicly voiced their concern, that the
government that Hu Jintao heads, regularly kills people for their
beliefs?
It's UNFORTUNATE that there was such a shameless display of FREE
SPEECH?
Bush should not have apologised. He should have explained to Hu Jintao
that that woman represents one of the greatest aspects of America's
culture, constitution, and government -- the freedom to disagree with
the government and speak publicly in dissent of it without fear of
arrest or retaliation.
Bush should have told Hu Jintao that there is nothing dangerous about
free speech, and that China needs to embrace it, if it wants to be
accepted in the world economy and as an ally of America.
Bush Should have called for the Secret Service agents to carry the
woman protestor back, and sit her in a front row seat at the ceremony,
and offer to let her talk to him about her concerns.
But no. He blew it. He blew his chance to teach China what freedom and
democracy are, and why they need not fear it. He blew his chance for an
international public relations coup. He did not stand up for freedom.
He might just as well have offered to have her executed for the Chinese
leader, to make him feel more at home.
Just to add insult to injury, here is the latest from the Ap Newswire:
"Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin said that she had been charged
with disorderly conduct and that a charge of intimidating or disrupting
foreign officials was also being considered."
Apparently, President Bush and the secret service want to show the
world how much they stand for free speech by charging Weilin Wang, the
protestor who stood up and shouted for Bush to "stop Hu Jintao from
killing Falun Gong", with disorderly conduct and "intimidating foreign
officials"
Let's hear it for democracy! Let's hear it for freedom of speech!
If Bush does not ask for the charges to be dropped before her hearing,
HE IS A BUFOON.
The charges against Weilin Wang will be thrown out by the first Judge
to see her. This will make Bush look like an even bigger bufoon.
What are we going to hear next, a lecture on how there is "a proper
time and place for free speech"? WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!
Like I said, Bush would have been better off by offering to have her
shot to make the Chinese President feel more at home.
