Remember that video of W's "one finger salute"?
I got it in an email from a right winger. Says it's a message from * to all those who didn't vote for him.

5. Now now, he is a great example of good christian values.
Remember if it's a Democrat doing that we would be condemned to hell. There is one standard for Republicans but another for us sinful Democrats

4. she's probably right..
i'm sure there were lots of one-fingered salutes directed at Blue America on 11/3. He means it, too!

and i'm also sure that the language directed at Blues was in no way pious.

9. The day before the election, I sent that to my repug step-brother.

I was convinced Kerry was going to win and I got a little too brave. I sent this clip to him with the message that this is what you are wanting to stay in office. Still being convinced that Kerry was going to win, I laughed out loud at his reply which was, "Yeah, and to think we're going to have four more years of this behavior." I thought it was a great come back and I complemented him. Little did I know.

The repugs are proud of their guy giving the camera and all those watching the one finger salute. Same mindset. My roommate went to her parents house yesterday to plant their flowers for them. They are lifelong repugs. His first words to her were, "Sure glad Bush won so I don't have to disinherit you". She had canvassed hundreds of houses for Kerry. The sad thing is, I don't think he was kidding. She does everything for them while her siblings are off leading their lifes. Yep. The repug mindset is not a pretty thing.

Don't ever forget. There are all kinds of bad people, but repugs are all a certain type. What * did on that tape pretty much sums them up.

Giving the finger is not the point. Hell, I've done it a lot. But, I wasn't the Governor of a large state knowing that I was on camera and that it was being taped. He just didn't care. He's been using that middle finger to everyone around him all his petty little life. It's one of the perfect little time capsule moments that I hope will define this creep of man for years and years and years to come. That's if we are all fortunate enough to have a future once he gets done.

eh

10. Here is a totally different time where Bush gigged folks on camera.

It looks even more recent, also.

15. I've looked at it more closely and I believe you are correct.
Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 11:43 AM by w4rma
I just looked at it in a program that allows me to magnify the view of the picture. The finger is paler than the fingers on his sideways thumbs up sign.

I'd remove the picure but I can't edit my previous post anymore.

This picture is still real tho:
