Would we be happy if Laura Bush fainted on stage?

[kuozzman]

I suppose she's not as politically active as Hillary, but even if she were, I certainly don't think we'd be writing god damn songs about it and attacking her.

Check out how the Freepers feel about Hillary fainting:

1. i'm sure there would be some

[Darknyte7]

7. no doubt...

There would be a few here that would, but there are many others here that would quickly condemn such behavior here.

[Placebo]

2. Imagine how they'd be acting if Hillary was assassinated.

Hopping around laughing and shouting like a bunch of monkeys. Scum of the earth, they are.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. And here they're supposed

to have moral values and be majority Christians. :eyes: I don't like W but I don't wish any of his family (or even him) dead. It's just not nice. And Laura isn't bad or anything (I don't think). I wonder what they'd do if she was a republican?

[MidwestTransplant]

3. It would make us aware of the side effects of mood enhancing drugs

[ObliqueFracture]

4. How juvenile!

[NoPasaran]

5. I don't think so

Of course, if she threw up on someone, it would be good for some laughs.

[sniffa]

6. it depends

if the faLL ruined her muLtipLe face-Lifts, i'd be thriLLed.

[Ian David]

13. Laura Bush is pretty much a non-combatant

And she seems much more liberal than her master (I mean husband) although that's not saying much.

But she doesn't really shape policy.

And The Bush Twins... they're inept twits, but pretty harmless, until they get behind the wheel of a car. (Then again, it's their MOM who's killed someone with her car).

It would be as pointless to wish them ill-will as to wish harm to come to Bush's little black dog Barney.

Laura Bush and the Bush-twins are just like Barney. They're kind of cute, make a little noise, and occasionally pee on the floor.

Same goes for Nancy Reagan. She was a sweetie, if somewhat naive ("Just say No"?) I wouldn't wish Nancy Reagan any ill-will.

Actually, I would rather have had Nancy Reagan as president than either of the Bushes or Ronald.

HOWEVER...

Mary Cheney?
Lynne Cheney?

I hope they get struck by a meteor.

[demnan]

8. I pity that poor woman, Laura

and I refuse to make cheap shots about her clothes, etc. I profoundly pity her, that's all.

There's nothing about Hillary to be pitied. I'm sure she's strong enough to take the shots. If she could live through the impeachment, she can live through anything. Also, don't forget, she's still the most admired woman in America.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. It would be fun to see the sparks fly......

....out of her android head.

[Mend]

30. Can Stepfords actually faint?

I would think you would need a heart, blood supply, etc. Maybe if their WD40 ran low...

[Dinger]

36. I Was Wondering The Same Thing

If it did happen, what would it be called? Logging out? Shutting down? Short circuit? . . . .

[UdoKier]

10. Why compare us and them?

We are human beings with hearts and souls and minds. They are the absolute dregs, sociopaths and thugs.

Of course, I bear Bush's stepford wife no ill will, but I certainly would enjoy it if Boosh himself took a spill.

As for Hillary, their hatred for her is completely inexplicable, her being a moderate republican and all...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Lots Of Freepers Offered Prayers..

The reactions were split...


Just what I would expect here....

[kuozzman]

17. Did you click on the bottom link????

I count one in the first dozen or so responses:

-It's a miracle!

-If you can't say something good about somebody, your probably talking about Hillary Clinton

-DAMN!

-I wish Hillary Clinton long life and good health.

-Maybe she encountered a Crucifix at the Catholic college?

-Well, Damn!

-Somebody must have spilled some water on her. Since she's recovered, I guess she only got a little damp. You'd think her security people would know better than to let anyone get near her with water. I'll bet heads will roll now.

-:(

-She is probably setting up an excuse to bow out of the speech tonight at the university in Buffalo. The Bishop slams her and so she will not appear.

-Don't you just love the fact that they don't mention Billy's name, just that her husband had heart surgery.

-It was the chemical ink fumes of freedom..

-Hopefully this collapse was brought on by the forthright announcement by Buffalo's new Catholic bishop that she is not welcome to bring her abortion message to Catholic organizations and schools in his diocese. When bishops properly fulfill their role of leadership in matters of faith and morals, it can make it tough for folks like Hilary to work their con.

-Damn, damn, damn...........and I was all ready to sing, "Ding dong, the witch is dead......"

-The docs told her to quit HEAD BOBBING....its going to scramble her brains

-I wish Hillary Clinton long life and good health in a Federal Penitentiary

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Those Were After It Was Determined She Was All Right...

The first thread when folks didn't know her status was 600+ posts long...

And the reactions were mixed...

[kuozzman]

25. Gotcha, I was sort of surprised that the ones I saw weren't more like

what you describe.

[FreedomAngel82]

35. Really?

Nice. I thought they all disliked Hillary. :(

[Cats Against Frist]

45. I read the second thread (or the original)

and I was actually surprised that there were many people who offered sympathy. Even people who got a little crack in ("she's my best political enemy -- I'd be nothing without here") said some nice words.

It was wholly less offensive or stupid than your average FR thread. That said, two things:

1. Laura Bush is not the equivalent of HC -- HC is a Senator, and made good on her own. She's not just "window dressing."

2. While I was surprised at the FR reaction, I still think that the percentage could be a little higher for the party of "values," and just like us here -- who knows what's being censored for the eyes of the peering media (I saw several comments deleted).

Anyway, if the same thing had happened to Phyllis Schlafly or Ann Coulter, I can say for a fact that I'd be rejoicing more than any of the WORST freepers over there. Maybe not publicly, but in my heart.

[Pam-Moby]

12. Those freerepublic are so childish.

They do not have a brain in there heads. This just shows how low that they get. They need some shock therapy of some sort.

[Ian David]

16. Hillary wanted to give universal healthcare to their trailerparks.

The Freepers should be kneeling down to kiss her rosie cheeks.

The next time some freeper doesn't have the money to get an operation, or when they need to get a tooth pulled because they can't afford a filling, let them think of Hillary and how she TRIED to help them.

[Pam-Moby]

18. Yes, I agree.. n/t

[MissMarple]

14. Good heavens, no! That is just so tawdry, there is no honor in that.

[American Tragedy]

15. I wouldn't be.

My rancor is directed specifically at her husband. In any case, I don't particularly wish physical injury on any politicians, even if they might deserve it.

[Ian David]

19. You're a bigger man than I

Personally, few things would please me more than if Bush choked on another pretzel and was found in the morning with a gay porno video in the VCR.

[American Tragedy]

22. Well, okay, I have to admit THAT would be pretty damn funny!

[Laurab]

21. I wish I were as nice

I'm not sure I wish physical injury on politicians, but there are maybe a few whose injuries I could accept. I mean, if it were God's will and all. I reserve that feeling for those who spend their time bringing death and destruction to innocent people, though. I mean, if shrub fell down and hurt himself from too much bowing, well, I'd deal with it just fine...

[DistressedAmerican]

23. Frankly Laura isn't a good analogy

I make as much or more fun of Bush (and his wife) as anyone in the world:
http://www.seedsofdoubt.com/distressedamerican/main.htm

I'm not sure that Laura going down is really that good of a comparison since Hillary actually holds office. Hillary is not just Bill's wife anymore.

A better comparison is with George. I can tell you, I for one would jump on Bush passing out like a cat jumps on nip. Remember how well we pounded him each time he couldn't ride a bike?

So, as much as I hate to say it, I'd say Hillary is fair game on this one. It's not like she had a debilitating stroke. Now that would be out of line.

We should get a slightly thicker skin. These ARE REPUGS we're dealing with after all.

Just to prove I'm not above making fun of Laura:

[Contrary1]

24. Aw, just let them be...it gives them something to do.

It's not like they are able to get any threads going that expound on Chimpie's
intelligence or anything positive he has ever accomplished.

[GarySeven]

26. Laura Bush KILLED a human being

Like all Republicans, she is SCUM

[Ian David]

28. Now now... who here among us has NOT killed a high school classmate?

Let he among you who is without sin...

[Red State Rebel]

44. So did Ted Kennedy - both were accidents

I find the constant harping on this as petty. I guess it's too close to personal. In high school I had a very close friend who had an accident that she walked away from that killed another friend of ours. She left the road, went down an embankment and hit a tree. An unsecured spare tire in the back of the station wagon flew to the front crushing the passenger into the dash causing basically the same injury as Princess Di's. I know how she suffered back then and probably still does to this day.

Accidents happen.

[burn the bush]

27. we would if she knocked the chimp off the stage when she fell

[lynne]

29. Oh, Pulleezze -

- Remember some of the remarks when * choked on the pretzel? Or when Ronald Reagan died?

There are mean, ignorant, insensitive clods on both sides of the aisle - it isn't preserved for any one political party.

[dollydew]

31. Hillary Faints

Well there are ignorant and mean people on both sides. The other side claims to be more moral and pure than any other human beings on the planet. I sincerely hope Hillary is ok. I have personal reasons for this. Everything Hillary and Bill did for the little guy didn't make the news. Speaking from personal experience.

[Ian David]

43. I didn't hate Bush enough at the time to celebrate The Pretzel Incident

It wasn't until after I saw the museums in Iraq being looted that I came to despise him with every fiber of my being. And then he shrugs and says something to the effect of, "These things happen."

[leesa]

32. What difference would it make if she fainted on stage. She is of no

value. She does nothing except go shopping and have her face lifted.

[LittleClarkie]

33. Let's use someone that we dislike as much as they dislike Hillary

No, I would not be happy and rejoiceful if Ann Coutier passed out on stage. I might comment that she needs to each a sandwich or something, but I would not rejoice.

[pityfriend]

37. Would Condi work?

I'm guessing there's people with no class in our camp as well. People are people.

[LittleClarkie]

40. Yep. Let's see, would I cheer if Condi fainted?

There might be a very tiny chorus of "Ding dong the witch is dead" if something untoward happened to Condi. Now why would I be more classless toward her than Coutier. Maybe because she has more power.

[ArkDem]

38. You are kidding.....

[deadparrot]

39. I wouldn't, but some would.

On the other hand, many DUers don't identify themselves as Christians.

[Bake]

41. No, but I'd laugh if * or Condi pissed themselves on camera.

But I'm just in a cynical mood tonight.

Bake

[Erika]

42. Laura is a Stepford Wife

But no, I would not like to see her sick or injured.

What I have problems with is that freepers and other fringe right-wing groups give Hillary no recognition for being a former first lady and now a NY Senator. But they fawn over a Stepford wife out of the 50's.

[Roland99]

46. I'd be happy if Bush choked on a pretzel
