I can't make out what the vandalism says.
 
Oh, I missed the second picture. "No more Bush."

Looks like the work of an embittered Bush voter to me.
 
Childish, pathetic act but not surprising. A bunch of juvenile pieces of **** that have nothing better to do than **** on a President of the United States. These are probably the same kind of fools that if someone did this to something of Barack Obama they'd go screaming racism or pointing out the evils of republicans.

Hope they're found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Well, it would be kind of asinine to deface something of Obama's since he hasn't even done anything yet. But when you've sucked giant sloppy donkey balls for eight years, then your approval rating dropping into the twenties, the defacement of your monuments (even if they're just the ones of blood relatives), being booed, having sewage plants named after you and dodging flying shoes just kind of goes with the territory.

In the old days, a really bad stage actor could expect to be pelted with rotten fruits and vegetables. It's exactly that sort of accountability that needs to be brought back in full force. It's the public's way of saying, "Let's not parse words here. You suck."

It was obviously someone who was lacking in the brain department because they didn't even pick the right Bush (not that there would ever be a monument for George W.). Defacing a monument is really quite a pathetic way to revolt. Hopefully they catch who did it.

Yeah, I remember fondly those EIGHT years that George H.W. Bush served and those approval ratings in the tweenties he had. Yep...

I also always compare my Presidents to stage actors.

After screwing up the facts, hysterics is all that's left.

To be fair, a lot of conservatives do use Reagan as their standard of measure. ;) :mrgreen:

So what? He's a good measure, and had a successful administration. You say we had an actor who played a lawyer throughout his administration, and we say you had a lawyer who played an actor throughout his administration.

Oh, trust me, I know. As I recall, Republicans have no problem on their end voting for actors.

Neither do Democrats from 1992-2000.

Liberals have forgotten what professional courtesy and respect are; so much for that "tolerance" of ideas and diversity. Liberal tolerance only extends to those who obviously agree with them. If not, they are impugned, insulted and have their property defaced.

Bravo Liberals, you take society to new lows with your outrageous misplaced hatred for a man who desperately attempted to keep you safe regardless of whether he had to take you there kicking and screaming and whining.

You just can't get any lower than a Bush hating Liberal who decries the efforts to catch terrorists and impugns a man trying to protect them.

Carry on; I expect we will see many more examples of Liberal intolerance for the next decade or so.
 
Liberal intolerance? Coming from the right that is really funny...

lets see .. are there any right wing intolerances?

Homosexuals, most minorities (especially during elections), Muslims, anyone that disagree with them...

yep plenty of right wing intolerance..

So because probably one or two morons did this you are placing the blame on liberals? Please, try to step outside of the whole partisan argument for a moment so that you can see how reality actually works. The people who committed this act are idiots. Like I said, they didn't even attack the right Bush. If this type of behavior was common among Liberals it would be far more widespread. So perhaps instead of playing the typical partisan rhetoric you could focus your anger on the idiot(s) who perpetrated the act in the first place.
 
Good god, why? Stuff like this makes no sense. We have freedom of speech as a tool to voice our dissent. There is no "freedom to destroy property." Like many of you, the fact that it was GHWB's statue makes this all that more ridiculous. I actually like him a lot more compared to his boy.

Well I will officially stand up for the dems/libs and say, if it was one of ours...we don't claim 'em anymore.

Get off the train douche bags...you're out of the club.

This statement drips with misguided partisan rhetoric. You have no valid basis to make such a declaration. It's also rife with irony that you make comments like this given your own conduct as a self identified conservative. It's okay for you to show a lack of courtesy and respect, but not liberals?

:naughty

You really are the most uneductated person I've ever had the displeasure of debating with.

That is just a stupid remark, and I would like some "Proof and sources" as to where you came to that conclusion.

Its just a silly statement that was meant for humour.Maybe the idiot is the person that takes it seriously.

Spoken like a typical Euro... exhibiting their bleeding hearts and ignorance of American history.

And we should care what Europeans think?

It's true, conservatives largely oppose homosexuals being married, as does Obama. It's still the law in most EU countries too.

It's been the societal norm for thousands of years. When two of the same sex can produce offspring, then I'll vote for Change.

One additional question... where do you draw the line on these marriages? How far do you want to take this... for if Homosexuals can get married... what next? After all, to deny the next groups would be intolerant too.

I guess Obama is a homophobe?

As for minorities? What discrimination? Give examples...

Now for the supporters of racism and slavery:

National Black Republican Association - DYK-OBAMA-CanYouSpareAPROCLAMATION
Petition to Barack Hussein Obama for a Proclamation of Apology for the Democratic Party's 150-year History of Racism

WHEREAS, history shows that the Democratic Party through its racist agenda and "States' Rights" claim to own slaves, sought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery from 1792 to 1865, thus enslaving millions of African Americans, while the Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party, fought to free blacks from slavery and championed civil rights for blacks,

This was most likely the work of kids. Graffiti is a major problem here. Every year, the statue of the naked woman in front of the Science Building at the University of Houston is targeted, and her genital areas painted red. Graffiti is rampant at many of the cemeteries here, the statue of Sam Houston is defaced frequently, and the Statue of Bush the Elder has been tagged and painted many times. The building where I work is tagged at the rate of about once every two months. As soon as it is painted, it is tagged again. Graffiti in Houston is even worse than in Los Angeles.

My guess is that this is the work of Hispanic gang members who wanted to make a political statement. Many of them are not even citizens, but are always protesting. 2 years ago, at the Galleria, they formed a large crowd in support of unionizing the Mexican hotel workers here, and protesting arrests and deportations of some union members. Not only did it take months to clean up all the graffiti and defacement of public property, but they were flying Mexican flags too, and several American flags were stomped on, and at least one burned.

As a resident of Houston, I can tell you that this is not the work of Democrats, Liberals, or Obama supporters. This is the work of kids who need to be sent back to Mexico, along with their entire families.

I'd be surprised if you didn't. They only started about 2 years ago.

Approval_27267_image001.png


But hey...we all know that 6 years of Bush screw ups didn't earn him 2 years of approval ratings in the 20s. And we all know his approval ratings didn't descend into the 20s. They were always there because we all know nobody ever gave Bush a chance and.............................

..................... what are the other completely false statements about how Bush was treated like some nondescript puppy being thrown off a cliff?

Please bring them up.
