A hostile president

"George Bush is coming to Israel this week. He will take pleasure in his visit. One can assume that there are few prime ministers with a giant photo of themselves with the U.S. president hanging on the wall in their home, as our Ehud Olmert boasted last week that he does, to his exalted guest, the comic Eli Yatzpan. There are also few other countries where the lame duck from Washington would not be greeted with mass demonstrations; instead, Israel is making great efforts to welcome him graciously. The man who has wreaked such ruin upon the world, upon his country, and upon us is such a welcome guest only in Israel.

A man is coming to Israel this week who has left a trail of killing, destruction and global hatred. Never has the U.S. been so despised as during Bush's seven years in office, which abruptly brought his county back to the not-so-merry days of Vietnam..."

These people don’t even think before they speak. This is an idiotic sentence.

OK, so it’s been raining in Southern California. Srarbucks raised their prices on lattes. When will this madness end?

i ran into a hippie leftie tonight...and the funny thing was, he sounded just like that article. he went on about how the president and vp should be impeached for ‘all the things they have done’... of course, when i pressed him and asked him what EXACTLY had the president or vp had done to warrant impeachment... he couldn’t give me anything. i have found this to be a typical response from lefties. they depend on ‘discussing’ their views with people that have no information. as soon as you counter with factual information or demand they spell out exactly when they mean, they get all flustered and start with the personal attacks.

of course, at this point, i have to admit i enjoy watching them spazz right the hell out after i show them my voter id card... i usually wait for about an hour of conversation when they are just about calling me a nazi baby killer... and i show them my card with the party ‘LIB’ (constitutional libertarian... non-practicing... there’s like 5 of us).. of course, the hippie thinks it means liberal... and his head almost explodes. (hehehehehe)

in my view... hippies and the far left are the result of the soviets attempt to undermine the US via our universities and are responsible for just about everything bad or crappy that has happened in the last 30-40 years. to figure this out, all i had to do was check the stats on abortion and i was done (30-40m abortions, roughly 1 in 5 pregnancies aborted every year).

the left is bad for the country. period.

The meaning is pretty idiotic as well. Is this an Israeli newspaper? If so, it adds new ammo to the “let Israel sink or swim” argument. An argument, by the way, I never thought I’d support, however......

(Have they forgotten who they’re talking about?)

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Haaretz is the paper that wants Israel to stop being so mean to the poor Palestinians, so they agree with you about Israel sinking.

Right on, you nailed it!

You know, I disagree with President Bush on a number of issues, like his method of out liberaling the liberals, when it came to spending, illegal immigration, and with his views on how Israel should handle terrorism. But WOW... Gideon Levy is so unbelievably delusional... He's a good example of what happens with BDS. This guy is a raving loon.

....yet another error in this article, is calling a U.S. president, a lame duck, long before the election is held that determines who the replacement shall be.

A sitting president is not, and cannot be, a so-called "lame duck", except for that period immediately following an election for his replacement (typically, on a 7^th of November in a presidential election year), but before the actual swearing-in of said replacement (some time in late January next).

There’s a reason why we call that rag “Whoretz.”

[justiceseeker93]

My guess is that Gideon Levy is an American Jewish student radical of the 60s who made his way to Israel. Now he delights in exposing Israelis to his idiotic rants.
