"I Give a Sheet"?????
The Lone Star Iconoclast has an article for Aug. 19 that includes this paragraph:

Two prayer vigils were held this morning. At 8 a.m., supporters of President Bush, American troops, and the mission of Iraqi freedom held an "I give a sheet" vigil, prayer rally, and breakfast at the Crawford Community Center. Over 35 sheets from Georgia alone were hung up. They are filled with signatures of support for President Bush. The original plan was to deliver photographs of the sheets to the President, wash the actual sheets and donate them to homeless shelters in Texas. However, permission was given to deliver the actual sheets. It is unclear whether they will now be donated to shelters.

Anyone else think immediately "sheets=KKK"? Anyone else see the irony in the fact that Bush accepted the sheets but wouldn't accept a letter from a Gold Star mother? That said letter was later run over? (this story also found at link)

2. As was asked on another thread...
"Now that they've given away their sheets, what are they going to wear with their hoods?"

4. I wasn't thinking KKK, I was thinking SHIT
Funny how these idiots can hold a PRAYER rally that is essentially entitled I GIVE A SHIT (the 'sheet' is just a cutesy way of going around the POO POO word!) and chumpy will ACCEPT SAID SHIT from the praying kooks.

Family values??? Honor and Dignity?? SHEET/SHIT??? Ha ha, POOP, isn't it CLEVER!!!!

This country has many crazy people in it, I fear....the scariest one is at the helm right now.

5. Sheet = misspelled obscenity
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 09:42 AM by zippy890
in order to get it past the censors. They lack the intelligence to come up with anything coherent and original.


they are quite pathetic, really

7. I saw the sheets

Were they white sheets or red ones -- cause Bush and Cheney definately would wear red.

10. They should send the sheets to cover the bodies of dead soldiers...
The fuckers should put their money where their mouths are. These asshats should send the sheets to Iraq to cover the dead bodies of the innocent soldiers being murdered by the facist regime they support.

14. Thanks for the laugh!
These people are unintentionally funny in their stupidity. Don't they realize the KKK associations sheets bring to people's minds?

17. Oh, there ain't no bugs on me, there ain't no bugs on me
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 10:07 AM by Generic Other
Oh, there ain't no bugs on me, there ain't no bugs on me
There may be bugs on some of you mugs
But, there ain't no bugs on me

Well the air was dark and drizzly
And the air was full of sleet,
The old man joined the Klu Klux
And ma she lost her sheet!

Oh, there ain't no bugs on me, there ain't no bugs on me
There may be bugs on some of you mugs
But, there ain't no bugs on me
