"Mr. Bush" not "President Bush"

NBC Today Show | 1/7/04 | NBC Journalists

[Skywarner]

"Ah, but kind sir, the national news media ARE following the dnc's latest faux fax sheet about honorifics and political titles: IN EVERY recent story about Howard Dean, they have been using "Dr. Dean" ten-twenty times per story!"

I thought I was the only one who noticed the "Dr. Dean" title being used. Yes, he is a doctor, and deserves to be called as such. But it seems like that's the title of choice these past several days from almost all of the conventional media TV outlets (about the same time the news was leaking out about Dean's issues in VT as gov).

[ladyinred]

It has gone on since PRESIDENT Bush took office. And yes, it is still PRESIDENT Clinton to these liberal hacks. NO respect for the office at all.

[Dan from Michigan]

If they like they guy, they use the term "President". IF not, it's "Mr." In any official setting, I refer to Klinton as "Mr. Clinton".

Can you take your silly cut & paste propganda to someone who buys it? Not only are they a seizure inducing eyesore they're also pathetic if "Killed Kyoto Treaty" is near the top of your list as an example of this socialists' great "conservative" core.

Your basic argument is that all of us shouldn't believe our lying eyes.

[Southack]

"Your basic argument is that all of us shouldn't believe our lying eyes."

No, my basic argument is that we shouldn't dismiss real, tangible, conservative accomplishments such as killing the U.S. - CCCP ABM treaty, building and deploying our national nuclear missile defense system, killing the International Criminal Court, killing the Kyoto Global Warming nonsense, banning Partial Birth Abortion, and cutting federal income taxes by more than $1.3 Trillion.

On the other hand, your basic argument seems to be "Panic as soon and as often as you hear the latest 'GWB Sold Us Out' rumor."

Chicken Little would be proud.

[AAABEST]

"Panic as soon and as often as you hear the latest 'GWB Sold Us Out' rumor."

Rumor? Oh I guess we're all hallucinating and delusional.

I guess since we're doing lists:

Handcuffing Israel here and here

Waffling on the UN

Tax Breaks for Envirals

Favoring land grabs

Socializing "Terror" Insurance

Tax breaks to aid envirals

New Multi-billion dollar aid "agency"

NA Fingerprinting

Some conservative you got there. Yep we're all "chicken littles" who are wrong about him.

Again sorry if all the HTML doesn't work. I had kept the links and the subject but hadn't formatted them until you "inspired" me.

It will be cleaned up and will follow every time I find your list. Deal?

[Southack]

"Some conservative you got there. Yep we're all "chicken littles" who are wrong about him."

Pretty much.

Like any radical, you extrapolate wild-eyed conclusions from the flimsiest pieces of "evidence" in order to somehow "show" that your preconceived notion is rational.

For instance, your above rant manages to call Bush anti-gun, even though President Bush has signed two bills into law arming pilots, told the UN to go get stuffed over their anti-Second Amendment International Ban on Small Arms Trafficking Treaty, and ordered Attorney General Ashcroft to inform the U.S. Supreme Court that the 2nd Amendment protected *individual* rights to keep and bear arms, something so radically Conservative that even President Reagan dared not do it.

President Bush is also fighting to pass full immunity from the junk lawsuits of activists, cities, and states who wish to litigate our firearms manufacturers out of business.

Oh, and back as Governor, Bush signed CCW into law in Texas.

But such facts don't stop radical extremists like you. You cite his spokesman McClellan on signing the AWB if it reaches his desk and ignore that Bush has said that he would veto *any* new gun control legislation. The only way that the AWB would pass would be if Congress passed its renewal without a single new gun control in it, something that isn't even on the Senate floor (though versions with new gun control measures in them are already under consideration).

And from all of the above, extremists like yourself draw the absurd conclusion that Bush is somehow anti-gun.

That's not even rational.

Interesting fact: According to a friend of mine who is a reporter, a Ph. D. is not to be referred to as Dr. in a news story, but an M. D. is.

I may be biased, but I think that Drs. Armey and Gingrich demonstrated greater intellectual acumen in achieving their degrees than someone with a Mediocre Doctorate.

On the other hand, those humanities Ph.D.s come out of Cracker Jack boxes.

[NorCoGOP]

And certainly any reference to Bill Clinton is always President Clinton. Is this going on in other networks too?

And has been so on CNN since election night, 1992, when "President Clinton's" election returns were compared to "Mr. Bush's"...

That was the first confirmation I had about the liberal bias in the media being a very real threat to conservative ideals.

[AmishDude]

That's not even rational.

Look, if somebody wants to vote third party, they're going to do whatever they can to convince themselves it's a good idea. Don't worry, they don't feel "betrayed" by President Bush -- they never supported him in the first place.

[Tim Osman]

AAABEST, thank you for this list and this post.

Please, keep up the good work, it IS appreciated.

[JoeSchem]

Reported this morning on the Today Show, in the segment about the illegals working in this country, the regulars (Matt, Katie, Ann & Al) go to the reporter in the field and our president is referred to as "Mr. Bush" not "President Bush".

Mr. Bush cannot recognize the difference between 'legal immigrant' and 'illegal immigrant,' so apparently he has a language disability of his own.

[AAABEST]

You sound like you just soiled your pants. Sorry 'bout that. Here:

[Southack]

You seem unable to defend your wild-eyed hyperbole with little other than ad hominems. Pity.

I do at least enjoy watching you panic and squeal with each new media rumor, though. So at least you offer entertainment value to your threads thusly.

[AAABEST]

Oops, I gave you the adult version of the product you require... my bad. Allow me a correction:

[Southack]

Shouldn't you be running around posting that the sky is falling? It seems to me that the only posts that I ever see you make are either insulting someone or attempting to panic someone.

Substance, thy name will never be AAABEST...

[blackie]

Ignore the .05% fringees ~ they get off on making everyone wrong ~ the truth is ~ their self loathing is over flowing. :)

Be Well ~ Be Armed ~ Be Safe ~ Molon Labe!

[AAABEST]

Southack says:

"Shouldn't you be running around posting that the sky is falling?"

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

It's no more childish than referring to the Democratic Party as the Democrat Party.

[Political Junkie Too]

IN EVERY recent story about Howard Dean, they have been using "Dr. Dean" ten-twenty times per story!

Then maybe they should start refering to Mr. President, MBA.
