Dear bush: fuck you...... love, michael

It Takes Real Courage to Desert Your Post and Then Attack a Wounded Vet

Dear Mr. Bush,

I know you and I have had our differences in the past, and I realize I am the one who started this whole mess about "who did what" during Vietnam when I brought up that "deserter" nonsense back in January. But I have to hand it to you on what you have uncovered about John Kerry and his record in Vietnam. Kerry has tried to pass himself off as a war hero, but thanks to you and your friends, we now know the truth.

First of all, thank you for pointing out to all of us that Mr. Kerry was never struck by a BULLET. It was only SHRAPNEL that entered his body! I did not know that! Hell, what's the big deal about a bunch of large, sharp, metal shards ripping open your flesh? That happens to all of us! In my opinion, if you want a purple heart, you'd better be hit by a bullet -- with your name on it!

Secondly, thank you for sending Bob Dole out there and letting us know that Mr. Kerry, though wounded three times, actually "never spilled blood." When you are in the debates with Kerry, turn to him and say, "Dammit, Mr. Kerry, next time you want a purple heart, you better spill some American red blood! And I don't mean a few specks like those on O.J.'s socks -- we want to see a good pint or two of blood for each medal. In fact, I would have preferred that you had bled profusely, a big geyser of blood spewing out of your neck or something!" Then throw this one at him: "Senator Kerry, over 58,000 brave Americans gave their lives in Vietnam -- but YOU didn't. You only got WOUNDED! What do you have to say for yourself???" Lay that one on him and he won't know what to do.

And thanks, also, Mr. Bush, for exposing the fact that Mr. Kerry might have actually WOUNDED HIMSELF in order to get those shiny medals. Of course he did! How could the Viet Cong have hit him -- he was on a SWIFT boat! He was going too fast to be hit by enemy fire. He tried to blow himself up three different times just so he could go home and run for president someday. It's all so easy to see, now, what he was up to.

What would we do without you, Mr. Bush? Criticize you as we might, when it comes to pointing out other men's military records, there is no one who can touch your prowess. In 2000, you let out the rumor that your opponent John McCain might be "nuts" from the 5 years he spent in a POW camp. Then, in the 2002 elections, your team compared triple-amputee Sen. Max Cleland to Osama bin Laden, and that cost him the election. And now you are having the same impact on war hero John Kerry. Since you (oops, I mean "The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth!") started running those ads, Kerry's poll numbers have dropped (with veterans, he has lost 18 points in the last few weeks).

Some people have said "Who are you, Mr. Bush, to attack these brave men considering you yourself have never seen combat -- in fact, you actively sought to avoid it." What your critics fail to understand is that even though your dad got you into a unit that would never be sent to Vietnam -- and even though you didn't show up for Guard duty for at least a year -- at least you were still IN FAVOR of the Vietnam War! Cowards like Clinton felt it was more important to be consistent (he opposed the war, thus he refused to go) than to be patriotic and two-faced.

The reason that I think you know so much about other men's war wounds is because, during your time in the Texas Air National Guard, you suffered so many of them yourself. Consider the paper cut you received on September 22, 1972, while stationed in Alabama, working on a Senate campaign for your dad's friend (when you were supposed to be on the Guard base). A campaign brochure appeared from nowhere, ambushing your right index finger, and blood trickled out onto your brand new argyle sweater.

Then there was the incident with the Crazy Glue when your fraternity brothers visited you one weekend at the base and glued your lips together while you were "passed out." Though initially considered "friendly fire," it was later ruled that you suffered severe post traumatic stress disorder from the assault and required certain medicinal attention -- which, it seems, was provided by those same fraternity brethren.

But nothing matched your heroism when, on July 2, 1969, you sustained a massive head injury when enemy combatants from another Guard unit dropped a keg of Coors on your head during a reconnaissance mission at a nearby all-girls college. Fortunately, the cool, smooth fluids that poured out of the keg were exactly what was needed to revive you.

That you never got a purple heart for any of these incidents is a shame. I can fully appreciate your anger at Senator Kerry for the three he received. I mean, Kerry was a man of privilege, he could have gotten out just like you. Instead, he thinks he's going to gain points with the American people bragging about how he was getting shot at every day in the Mekong Delta. Ha! Is that the best he can do? Hell, I hear gunfire every night outside my apartment window! If he thinks he is going to impress anyone with the fact that he volunteered to go when he could have spent the Vietnam years on the family yacht, he should think again. That only shows how stupid he was! True-blue Americans want a president who knows how to pull strings and work the system and get away with doing as little work as possible!

So, to make it up to you, I have written some new ads you can use on TV. People will soon tire of the swift boat veterans and you are going to need some fresh, punchier material. Feel free to use any of these:

ANNOUNCER: "When the bullets were flying all around him in Vietnam, what did John Kerry do? He said he leaned over the boat and 'pulled a man out of the river.' But, as we all know, men don't live in the river -- fish do. John Kerry knows how to tell a big fish tale. What he won't tell you is that when the enemy was shooting at him, he ducked. Do you want a president who will duck? Vote Bush."

ANNOUNCER: "Mr. Kerry's biggest supporter, Sen. Max Cleland, claims to have lost two legs and an arm in Vietnam. But he still has one arm! How did that happen? One word: Cowardice. When duty called, he was unwilling to give his last limb. Is that the type of selfishness you want hanging out in the White House? We think not. Vote for the man who would be willing to give America his right frontal lobe. Vote Bush."

Hope these help, Mr. Bush. And remember, when the American death toll in Iraq hits 1,000 during the Republican convention, be sure to question whether those who died really did indeed "die" -- or were they just trying to get their faces on CNN's nightly tribute to fallen heroes? The sixteen who've died so far this week were probably working hand in hand with the Kerry campaign to ruin your good time in New York. Stay consistent, sir, and always, ALWAYS question the veracity of anyone who risks his or her life for this country. It's the least that person deserves.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. George, I know you said you don't read the newspaper, but USA Today has given me credentials to the Republican convention to write a guest column each day next week (Tues.-Fri.). If you don't want to read it, you and I will be in the same building so maybe I could come by and read it to you? Lemme know...

holy shit, thats fucking awsome. long read, but well worth it. hahahahaha. fuck yes. thank you blazzed

Yeah. Fuck Bush.

So I post on this Half-Life clan's forums occasionally because they run a server I am a regular on, and this guy shows up with this for his signature, at this same size, after every post:

OBNOXIOUS RIGHT??!?

What's worse is there are people from this clan coming on and congratulating him on having such a glorious signature. I comment that the signature "Makes my eyes bleed" and I create my own signature that looks like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/yagevines/bushsig.jpg'>

Less than two hours later, my picture gets removed and I get a message from the site admin telling me not to turn the site into a political debate or else I will be banned. Yet the other guys blood vomit-inducing picture remains. I call bullshit!

did more actually write that? that fucking sucked. i could have written it better.

thats weird.

i've noticed i get in a lot of political debates in counter strike. Try to keep in mind most of these people arent old enough to vote, and if they are.. they'll probably be too busy scrimming to go to the booths.

also, if you play cs 1.6 we should play together some time.

also, you should call them on their bullshit. there are thousands of servers running no matter what time it is... and who the hell needs a counter strike message board? "dude, i totally got 25 frags today and i didnt die once"

but i guess the same could be said about graffiti.. "dude, i did 25 tags today and i didnt get caught once"

you can always call on the destruction team.

i'd be willing to post anti bush/pro-kerry pictures in there several hundred times.

also, i wouldn't be surprised if moore wrote that. i've read both his books and neither has really impressed on the eloquence factor...

he might not be super eloquent, but this was different. it wasnt a case of eloquence, it was a case of 17 year old anarchist humor. in the past moore has always presented himself far more intelligently than what is presented here. if it really was written by him, he did a piss poor job of it.

no kidding. worse than something i would have written, on a good day.

i guess he did write it, but the 'fuck you' part was added by 2blazzed.

either way, i think this particular piece of writing sucks. oh well.

One of the reasons I was so pissed was because these people are fully grown adults in their late 20's and 30's. The message board serves the purpose of the people who are in the group and play on the servers to communicate, most of it is like this board, albeit with this somewhat discomforting aura of niceness to it and not as many people. I think the majority of the people there are from southern and midwestern states.

I did call em on the fact that this guy can post that signature which is so huge and obtrusive and yet I can't say something like "Vote Kerry" (which I said before I put up that devil Bush sig), and told them that if they're going to condone censorship and partisanship like that on a video game message board then they can fuck off and I have no use for it. You can't have it both ways.

No point in harassing them, they'll know I was involved and ban my Steam ID from their servers.

btw, I play Bubblemod and AGMod, not Counterstrike, but if you want to get up on one of those servers, I'm down.

i recently was reading some far-left commentary, and they noted that a bush victory could be good for the world..

why? because another term will destroy america.

our status in the world as a military and economic superpower will be undermined until it can't handle our exploding debt, dwindling job oppurtunities and oppression of the world anymore and crushes itself under the weight of its own karmic debt..

all huge empires must eventually be destroyed in order for the world to continue to progress.

bad for us.

bad for the world in the short term

but in the long run, good for everyone.

ha. i've been thinking about that for months. as soon as i began thinking that bush was actually going to win again, it immediately became the only consolation i could find. i figure people might be dumb enough to buy into it this time, but this election has become such a fucking ruse, that it can not possibly get any worse without becoming complete slapstick comedy, at which point it can only get better.

only problem with it is that the worlds economy does revolve around us. if we fell too quickly and too hard, it would eventually recover, but it would be a motherfucker in the process.

i'd prefer we didnt fall completely, but i think a thurough ass kicking is totally in order.

whatever, i'll gladly trade my 'quality of life' if it helps out the world as a whole. i lived for so long on ramen and taco bell, aint no thing to do it again. what are they going to do, lay me off? what happens then, i cant pay my car payment? oh shit, dont ruin my credit...again! besides, civil war would be good for my job market. i'd be highly employable. go me!

Where do i sign up? post the link

Kerry went to war. Bush didnt. If you cant see the complete lack of validity in Bush's attack on Kerry's war record by now, this poorly written letter is not worth reading.

"civil war would be good for my job market".. :lol: :lol:
