Dem offended by Bush photo in market

How petty and ignorant.
I do believe he should go down to FL for the silly AntiBush Therapy that is so popular there. ;-)”

“Funny that his name is "Polite." He defenitely made a fool of himself. As if making a fuss about the picture helps with healing.”

“I'da #&%!$ slapped Mr. Polite.”

“A rumble in Amish Country?

Good heavens !!”

“Healing period? It was an election, not a funeral.”

“Offended. Healing. These words just tell me that those democrats are both sore losers and hypocrites.”

“I wonder how long before some doc names a syndrome after this so the democraps can get signed up for disability...

"Please excuse Violin from work today. He is too upset to work today."”

“Anyone with any semblance of a mind between their ears (party notwithstanding) would find the actions of this idiot to be ludicrous and over-the-top, myself included. But, I have to ask you a question. What's up with your posts? Are you on some freakin' crusade to grind any remnants of the democratic party into the ground as if they have contributed nothing to the history of this nation? You post nothing of substance that have to do with the "great accomplishments" of this administration and the "volumes" of ways that they are enriching our lives! It's all destructive. Damn, I thought Strat was bad, you're like a walking encyclopedia of bias and negativity. Oh well, to each his own. I just can't seem to take your views very seriously for debate purposes anymore...”

“I do believe Stovie's pushing up in the polls for Troll of the Year. He could end up being Bacpac's December surprise! LOL!

I love you Stovie!”

“It could be worse, someone could have been offended by finding a "Bush" in a photo market.”

“And you eat this crap up with a spoon, too, eh Nigal? Want fries with that??

Hey, it's a manufacturing job. The government told me it's true! :)”

“Eatin' shlt with a spoon? No, I just find it very refreshing to see the liberal trolls getting wound up for a change.”

“Good for you, man! Enjoy. Who knows? Maybe one day, you guys will actually show us horrible human beings that the people you voted for actually did something we can appreciate.”

“Ok, I'm puzzled. What is that?”

“Oh, Nigal's sour grapes thing again! I should have known, considering how many times you have used it!”

“Tree, all SS can do is post articles. He can't post his own opinion on anything.

As far as the picture the guy has every right to hang it up.

“Tree, If you don't like Nigal's picture stop with your sour grapes attitude. It is played, man, so played.”

“Watch out Treebeard, Bison gonna dope-slap ya!!

Something of substance;
Dubya gave Medal Of Freedom awards to three of the dopes who got U.S. into the mess in Iraq.

Huh??

I suppose if you "own" the award you can give it to whomever you desire.”

“Of course he does. You got to be pretty pitiful not to see it that way. But, Stovie's on a mission. It's almost as obsessive as one of those Christian right crusades to wipe out something that they feel shouldn't be part of society. I just don't remember Stovestomper being this radical in the past. He's definitely getting out there "where the buses don't run", if you get my drift!”

“The old turnaround didn't work too well in that context, bbw. Nice try anyway...”

“Hey, for a useless thread, we're at least getting some mileage out of it!”

“Bawhahahaha! But when Violin does his cut and pastes the libbies come out of the woodwork and stand in a circle jerk slapping each other on the back saying, "Yeah, what he said!", "Another great post V!", "Dat's right!".

It's all too funny! Please stay the course guys! :)”

“We do? i don't always agree with him. Or anybody, for that matter...

“Nigal, that isn't totally true. V and I have gotten into it about immigration, English lanugauge, etc.

Do you agree with everything the Republicans say..i don't think so. Heck we have even agreed on some of the same topics..scary isn't it...lol”

“I am guilty of the equivilant of an alcoholic sneakin' a drink. I have fallen into political regretion. I'll stick to the sidelines and simply watch. To interupt Stovie at this point is the same as talking over Monett's should as he paints...”

“Monet was an artist. Stovie's become a hack...”

“Beauty is in the eye of the troll as they say. LOL!”

“It is funny how so many people can get their knickers in a bunch for such a stupid article. I was not going to eve respond to this, but you brought me in.”

“Don't worry, WK. This thread is not about the article. Count the posts that have anything to do with it...”

“lol@wounded knee...we brought you into it, did someone run to your house and force you on this thread ;)”

“Help!!!!
I'm being repressed!!!!!!!
Help!!!!!!!!! ;-)”

“You're beyond help! You will be sent bak to the factory for re-programming!”

“Stovie's being stomped!”

“I found this article both funny and sad.
That is why I posted it.

I think I have explained my on again, off again political posting cut and pastes.

I'm just doing the EXACT SAME THING as violin does, but from the right.

As Nigal pointed out, few TT libs #&%!$ and moan about his far left cut and pastes, but you get your panties all in a wad when a cut and paste comes along from me.

Double Standard? Absolutely!

(And just for everone's info, the cut and pastes may not even be my own political leanings, just something to make one THINK. You know, that OPEN MIND thing all you libs claim ownership of)

And treebeard, don't that my posting habits so personal. I'm a nice person just as you are. Please don't judge me based only on political affiliation. I was just as left as you during my young years, and more of that is still with me than my cut and pastes show.”

“I just can't seem to take your views very seriously for debate purposes anymore...”

What made you and Ewker think I was ever out for a debate? ;-)

A 'civil' debate is impossible on TT, so I don't even try. All the political 'debates' degenerate into name calling and turd throwing. I'm just not into that type of 'debate'.”

“Stovie, you post this stuff and you take the critisism, just like V does. You're the one with a defensive posture now. Listen, man. When I spoke to you in June and you were expecting to possibly be in the area, I offered to you my house, transportation, meals, board and a good time. The offer still stands. So, the part about me "judging you" is clearly a misread on your part. If we were to do what we just said, we would have a great time and I would bet we would not even talk this sh_t. So, don't mix the two up. They don't belong together. You are a good guy and I always wanted to meet you and hang with you. That still stands. The observation is from a fuego POV and you know what that means on here. We've all been ripped a new one amidst one of these threads. So, what you say may be true of Violin, but he knows he will be critisized by you guys and accepts it. Nothing more, nothing less...”

“Stovie, are ya ridin' with Atila The Hun?

“Huh, it sounds more like ya got......

and wheel on the track

“To avoid being labeled hypocrites, I expect the right to manufacture just as much indignation about this one and demand the Chelsea Market reinstate Savido’s exhibit.




NEW YORK – A portrait of President Bush using monkeys to form his image led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests Monday over freedom of expression.

"Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show that was scheduled to stay up for the next month.

The show featured art from the upcoming issue of Animal Magazine, a quarterly publication featuring emerging artists.

"We had tons of people, like more than 2,000 people show up for the opening on Thursday night," said show organizer Bucky Turco. "Then this manager saw the piece and the guy just kind of flipped out. 'The show is over. Get this work down or I'm gonna arrest you,' he said. It's been kind of wild."

Turco took the show down Saturday and moved the art work to his small downtown Animal Gallery. Calls to the management of Chelsea Market for comment were not returned.

From afar, the painting offers a likeness of Bush, but when you get closer you see the image is made up of chimpanzees or monkeys swimming in a marsh.

continued...”

“I'm holding my breath...”

“"...Get this work down or I'm gonna arrest you"

How?”

“No outrage from the right over the censoring of an art show with the Bush portrait?

Why am I not surprised?”

“Well V we have to ask a few questions.

Who took it down?

where was it displayed?

Was the government involved in this "censoring"?

Who takes Violin seriousely enough to debate this?”

“You can read, can't you Nigal?”

“Who takes Violin seriousely enough to debate this?”

LOL, good point, Nigal. ;-)”

“V,,I'm not for censorship in any form,, and if this was a publicly owned place I would have an objection but I don't since it is not.”

“Yesterday, you likened your posting to Violin's. Are you aware of that? Are you aware that laughing at him makes you look extremely hypocritical?”

“You won't debate it because you can't. The two stories are eerily similar. You get upset about the first and blow off the second.

HYPOCRITES!”
