1. Even the Japanese hate his guts.

Is there a single fucking country in the world that he can go to without meeting MASSIVE protests? God, it's embarrassing!

[napi21]

4. I also heard his father isn't speaking to him either!

It was posted here on DU yesterday.

You're right about it being embarassing to the US, but it's become sooo commonplace, I don't even feel embarassed anymore. Every time I hear he's going somewhere else, my first thought is "Wonder how big the group of protestors will be there?"

Since Thanksgiving is next week, and nobody wants him around, I wonder what he's going to do? Maybe go to Crawford. I think those idiots still like him...a little.

2. Where is all the hippy youth I keep hearing about?

That are suppose to be the real opponants of the war.

All I see here are a bunch of elderly women. Surely they wouldn't be against the war! :eyes:

5. I work in the IT department of a

Japanese based company. I have found the Japanese to be quiet and very respectful of others. So for them to protest him, is astonishing to me. That really shows how disliked his globally!

6. Dupe

7. The Japanese know what time it is.

Fortunately, they don't have to suffer under this loathsome shit.

8. thank you for the pics

I lived in Kyoto for 2 years, and the thought of that Iraq-war-lying Fuckface spewing in that beautiful, dignified, historic city made me ill. I didn't expect to see widespread protests there, and was gladdened to see those pics.

Kyoto is actually a hotbed of extremist politics on the right and the left, some groups based at Kyoto University, Japan's #2 university (Tokyo University is #1). I am glad the contempt they have for America's Chimpanzee spilled out onto the streets.

9. Why is he travelling overseas?

They hate him more over there than we do here in his own country. All he's doing is creating massive protests across the globe.

Just let him finish his last 3 years on the damn ranch in Texas

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. Correction: "the damn PIG FARM in Texas"

It's irresponsible to attempt to rewrite the history of Junior's fake "ranch."

:evilgrin:

:patriot:

11. Maybe Dubya can puke on the Japanese P.M. like Poppy did.

Remember that?

THAT oughta really endear him to the Japanese.
