Fox News Documentary: George W. Bush is SO like Abraham Lincoln

Wow! Who knew?

You know, I think I really learned a lot from this propaganda documentary from Pravda Fox News. I really don’t know how it is that I hadn’t noticed previously how much George Bush is just like Abraham Lincoln, the founder of the Republican Party, or that Bush is already known for giving “some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President,” just like the Gettysburg Address!

So, which of Bush’s speeches do you think will be memorialized for generations to come? Will George W. Bush go down in history as being a great President, or the greatest President? Discuss …

One of the things I always liked about Abraham is in one of his Civil War speeches he asked that may America be on the side of God, not the other way around, and not presumed.

Bobdog Says:

Talk about a disservice to Lincoln. Future generations will see the documentary evidence of Bush and then say “Well, they said Lincoln was great, but then again they also said that doofus Bush was great too. I’m not buying it.”

We will go down in history as the traitors who allowed Bush, the Repugs and Faux News to ruin a once great nation. THAT is what history will remember.

Actually, PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS ARE SCRAMBLING TO CREATE NEW CATEGORIES FOR BUSH

Sorry, at the 2:14 mark had to close it…..I was already starting to feel my lunch come up. All I can say is I’m sure Lincoln is spinning at unimaginable velocities in his grave.

P.D. Says:

Sacrilege! The utter Balls. I’m speechless. To compare George Bush to Lincon is insane! We have the most destructive, dishonest president in my lifetime! And people thought Nixon was bad? Incredible. If you’ll excuse me, I have to either vomit or slam a shot!

The bush speech that will go down in history will be his last one in office. It will always be known as his pre-prison speech.

The only thing he has in common with Lincoln is they were both males.

Bush will go down in history as the most evil president of the US.

The only thing I find shocking about this is that Lincoln isn’t reaching out of the picture and strangling that vile monkey.

Dugg it.

Corinne Says:

eloquent and visionary speeches, that is insane. In no time in our history has there been a less eloquent speaker than bush, w/o fox news pushing his agenda, no one would have anything good to say about this president.

Rico Says:

I will give credit to Bush for one and only one thing: He gave C- students all across America that anything is possible.

I’m watching Faux’s Valentine to Fuhrer Bush. It’s laugh out loud funny.

I don’t care where Bush is ranked as long as he is out of office.

uncle joe mccarthy Says:

that entire piece was just too sick…i turned it off after they went to condi

hes happy that his daughters survived his presidency??

well there are close to 4000 american families and thousands more iraqi families, who wish they could say the same

and yes, he is exactly like lincoln….lincoln freed the slaves….bush enslaved the free

“… Bush is already known for giving “some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President,”

Known by who? Who wrote that line and what size gun was being held to his or her head.

He’s proud that his daughters survived his presidency. How many mothers and fathers’ children did not survive his war?

I’m going to get a copy of the program. In case I ever accidentally swallow poison, I can use the video to induce vomitting.

P.D. Says:

I’m sorry, but this cannot be true. My head is still spinning. I don’t know about you guys, but this really turns my stomach. Who are these people? The fact that they can’t accept facts when it is staring at them in the face is beyond me. As a free thinker I can’t get past that these people actually vote. I’m really depressed.

“But aside from that, how did you like the cartoon festival, Mrs. Bush?”

anon Says:

Bush is a monster - who believes what he is doing is right. In this, 100+ million americans agree. Bush is a part of a larger and more monsterous whole.

This took me some time to understand. But this country has a heart of darkness. Isnt it a sad day when the likes of the Ayatolla Khomeni were correct in their assessment of the US?

Peter E Says:

We need to be using 25-percenters for medical research. Except for studies of the brain. That would prove fruitless.

Cat Atomic Says:

“One of the most impressive part of GW Bush is his ass, which is not only totally hot and turns me on, but also emits sunshine. From the sphincter in fact. While some say he’s a demigod in the mold of Hercules, others claim that he’s more like Jesus. Yet others believe that he himself is God. Which assumption is true? That’s for historians to decide.

GW Bush. Truly an amazing, at least half-supernatural President, and also- his *beep* tastes like peppermint.”

32
William Wallace Says:

They are both great deciderers…

This film is food for his base. God knows they are the only ones who believe this tripe. It allows bush to stroke his own ego and at the same time feeds bs to the lame who actually believe this shit. It was beyond disgusting and appalling to sensible human beings.

Terrible Says:

That’s some seriously sick shit. How is it that the FCC allows this so called news network to even have a license?

35
Symes Says:

It’ll be good to be out of this insane place.
I only have to worry about the jack boots for 18 more hours.

Best of luck all. You are going to need it big time.

Lincoln would have shot GW. Of that I’m sure.

Do they really believe this stuff or are they just trying to influence the poor souls that watch their programming?

I noticed that Susan Eisenhower endorsed Obama.

I doubt that any past Repub president would fit in todays GOP.

That’s because it is so much easier to affix a halo to a dead person.

mani Says:

I have to say: fox news has either a very mysterious sense of humor, or just freaken retarded! There is people that actually buy into this crap?

wow…

naaaaaaaaa!!! its a joke right, I mean these guys cannot be serious…

they just playing with their gijoes and making silly videos…
but how did they get to be so funny without trying to be!?

absolutly disturbing. Boycott, fine, or close down Fox News!!

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Bookem Danno Says:

Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address.

By himself.

No speech writers.

No spin doctors.

They were his own words.

They were his own thoughts.

And there’s the key difference between Lincoln and Bush.

Lincoln had thoughts.

Jenny Says:

Let’s see. Lincoln was a lawyer from Illionois with only two years of national political experience… sound like Bush? Nah. Sounds more like our next president.

Saint Augustine Says:

About the only thing that I can think of that would make George W. Bush remembered as a president that did something great for this country is his suicide.

trixr4kids Says:

The most shocking thing about it is it took them a month to write that ridiculous, recycled state of the union!

P.D. Says:

Faux News is pure propaganda! My mothers watches this shit and has the nerve to tell me she’s informed? Where is the FCC? I guess they have better things to do. Like Arlen Spector investigating pro football.

joe cantwell Says:

use to be they compared him to churchill. then there was the truman phase. now it’s lincoln. they never mention his daddy, do they?

Moose Says:

So many people work so long to write Bush’s SOTU for him when all he really needed to say was:
“I really fucked up the world. I’m sorry. I’ll work hard this year to correct it. Thank you and good night. Once again, sorry, my bad.”
It would have been the best speech he ever made.

Very good point. Also: he didn’t exactly let his generals make the calls in war or listen to them, as Bush likes to claim he does. Lincoln was constantly firing and cycling through generals until he got one that would do the job he wanted them to do. (i.e. WIN THE FUCKING WAR).

I found it very interesting that this war-criminal feels “joyous” in comparison to Lincoln, he tells us. And then reminds us that he hasn’t lost any children.

The fact that he can sit there boasting, and feeling “joyous” that his children didn’t have fight in his war of aggression and risk losing their lives — while hundreds of thousands of other souls have died because of this illegal invasion — is just breathtaking.

He is a true sociopath of biblical proportions!

I actually saw a rough cut of this documentary a few years ago when the working title was ‘Triumph Of The Will’.

MoDMaN Says:

In order for propaganda to work it has to be rooted in some semblance of truth… this is so outrageously false, anyone with the ability to speak the most rudimentary english knows that his speeches are complete crap.

Fox News is becoming a satire of itself, is there a word for that? Fox-iness?

56
Ali Says:

This is absolutely hysterical. “Just like Lincoln… only stupid, dishonest, corrupt, arrogant, selfish, narrow minded, greedy, self centered, egotistical, illiterate, ignorant and lazy.”

That’s the sickest part.

Fox News Channel ends January with 8 of the top 10 programs. CNN’s Larry King Live (8th) and Lou Dobbs Tonight (10th) filled out the top 10. MSNBC’s highest rated show Countdown with Keith Olbermann came in 19th.
