I have a real problem with people
referring to bush as chimp, chimpy etc. I find that it is very mean-spirited and childish. Would we not be angry if someone referred to Obama as dumbo or to Hillary as jowels? It is never ok to make insulting remarks about someones looks. The reality is we all have some quirky issues with our looks and could be called names if someone chose to do so.

46. No, not at all
I can't stand him either. My feelings are not as strong as some others here, but I certainly have no love for the man, it's just that calling him names doesn't make me feel any better about the damage he's done/is doing. Many here have no problem at all ripping into republicans that slight democrats with name calling, but see no issue with calling others names.

113. before 2000, I tried to stick him with the name JR
One trouble is that too many people read that as Junior instead of Jay-are and making the connection to Dallas and JR Ewing - rich, slick, from Texas, oilman, same name as his dad, and very, very, very, insidiously, relentlessly, unapologetically evil.

It's just a shorthand way of delivering the messages - I don't like him and I don't respect him. Not supposed to distract or replace substantive criticism IMO.

197. I think someone who has destroyed the constitution,
disgraced our national reputation in the world, made torture OK, declared himself the
Decider and the Commander Guy deserves every name that could possibly be hurled at him.

Treating the office of the presidency and the insufferable moron currently in the white house
with respect does not even seem sane given the circumstances of country at
this moment in history.

I think a few really good obscenities are in order when speaking of Mr. Bush
at all times.

97. His name is Yong Im
He's sitting two cubes down from me right now. Pretty much everyone who works with me/in my office is aware of the blog and reads it regularly, although I'm not sure he understands much of it. I have no idea what he's saying half the time he speaks, but I'll be damned if he's not one of the best computer script writers I've ever met.

The difference is, they people I've given names to in my blog are comfortable with them and are friends of mine. If they were offended, I'd change them.

199. Don't forget, he also called Pakistanis "Pakis"
..That's like saying n****r for African Americans. Ignorant, racist/classist bastard.

Of course, the US newspapers never printed it. I got the story from the Toronto Sun.

And listen, Bush is a Chimp. They're our closest relatives, but ask Jane Goodall: They're aggressive, territorial, fight, kick and bite each other whenever they get angry or stressed, commit random acts of violence and are male-dominated. What's the difference between that and a neo-con, I ask you?

OTOH, Bononbos--pygmy forest chimps--are peaceful, live together in harmony, and are female-dominated. Whenever a bonobo starts stressing or showing tendencies towards anger, another bonobo will come over and immediately start having sex with it. Doesn't matter, male or female. It just calms them all right down and they go about their daily tranquility.

So see? We coulda been led by Bonobos, but we got a Chimp instead. How suck-y is that????

106. No
I was pointing out that when people here use derogatory language to describe a republican, it's cool. When Republicans call Democrats various names many DU'ers get upset/offended by it.

When we trash people who we disagree with, it's somehow justified, but when they trash us, it's not. Just a double standard that I don't really like.

104. Origins are uncertain- it dates to WWII, at least.
It's used to refer to people, and the definition is usually
given as: "ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag".

It makes no LITERAL sense, and yet it's easy to understand, no?

No one knows exactly where or when it was invented; it's
one of those odd bits of jargon that just found a niche
in the language.

76. Here's Some Good Examples For Ya. Hmmmmmmm.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3265200
"Has any one else seen the newest Gallup poll concerning congressional approval? According to Gallup congress has an approval rating of 29%. Does this concern any one else?"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3237828&mesg_id=3237963
"So much for concern about the environment and responsible spending.
"WASHINGTON -- A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.

For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, it was wheels up shortly after they voted in favor of legislation requiring that U.S. troops begin returning home from Iraq in the fall.

No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.

All but Biden, who flew on a private jet, chartered their flights -- a campaign expense of between $7,500 and $9,000."

I find appalling!!! "


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3208006#3208027
More than one way to look at this.
I wonder what the total carbon emissions will be for just one of these concerts? You have the jet and bus fuel to get the performers to the location, the truck fuel to get all of the equipment to the concert locations, the fuel to bring in the road crew to set up, the fuel to run the heavy equipment to set up the show, the fuel required to generate the electricity required to put the show on, the fuel required for all of the attendees to get to and from. To me having big events like this are exactly the WRONG thing to do as they contribute to the very problem that is the focus to begin with.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3200210#3202426
Have one concern
I am a concerned by the statements from Isreal regarding what Nancy told Syria about peace talks.
I fear the statements (by Isreal) will make some doubt
Ms. Pelosi's credibility. What are your thoughts?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1018913#1020120
what the hell does that have to do with anything? There are a lot of ways to "define" torture, but slavery is not hard to define.
Besides what have democrats done to improve the position or standing of "undocumented" workers, aka ILLEAGAL IMMIGRANTS?

39. When I read your subject line I was reminded of something...
Many years ago, a college professor of mine made the statement, "Democracy would work fine if it weren't for people." I pretty much agree with that, have used it many times over the years. As far as a problem with people referring to bush as chimp...I have to agree with those who say it's an insult to chimpanzees everywhere. But that's just MHO.

There are times when I think that members of this administration can be compared to some of the characters on "The Wizard of Oz." I think that our society would survive if, on the democratic Underground, I did just that.

Call him anything.

Just don't call him late for "Beer Call"!

But seriesly, if you want to call him "President Bush" or "Mr President", nobody will get upset. Just don't expect everyone to call him by names usually reserved for a respectable president.

107. It's actually a good habit to get into...
I fully agree with the notion that in amongst a diverse political group, it's not terribly helpful to call Bush by especially colorful names. At DU I let loose with some of the nastiest names sometimes, but it'd probably be a better idea to just call him something neutral.

Hmm... maybe I'll start a new thread...

Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 11:34 AM by Deep13
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Hmm. I guess it is okay after all.

No one has a right to be free from subjective offense, anger or rudeness. Ridiculing someones personal appearance may be childish or even mean, but it is a legitimate form of protest nonetheless. It says, "I am making hamburg from this sacred cow."

They deserve to get what they dish out.

They were so disrepectful of John Kerry and his service during the 2004 election that I have zero, zero zilch, nada, NO sympathy for right wingers when it comes to name calling.

How dare they claim "we are at war, never insult the troops" and then insult John Kerry and try to undermine his service????? And Chimpy DID NOT TO to VIET NAM. I don't care if he patrolled the US all day, he did not go to VN, and yet his partisans attacked a man who did and called him a coward.

Sorry, but :no pity:

175. By the way,
your profile is very revealing. I believe you meant to write "too" instead of to.

Some clarification, for your edification, is here:

People seldom mix “two” up with the other two; it obviously belongs with words that also begin with TW, like “twice” and “twenty” that involve the number 2. But the other two are confused all the time. Just remember that the only meanings of “too” are “also” (“I want some ice cream too.”) and “in excess” (“Your walkman is playing too loudly.”). Note that extra O. It should remind you that this word has to do with adding more on to something. “To” is the proper spelling for all the other uses.

178. Ah. A new sig line, I see.
"A discussion of the issues does not require personal attacks on individuals."


* is referred to in disrespectful manners because he is the most disrespectful "pResident," (he and his cabal, actually,) that this country has ever seen.



And it's not like the other team doesn't have plenty of names for specific Democratic candidates and Democrats in general. So, unless you plan on going to every political site on the Internet(s) and every political conversation on the planet, perhaps you might want to get upset over what is happening to our democracy and to the globe with this group of bloodlust maniacs running the show.

202. Gore Vidal has described George Jr. as "charmingly simian."
Edited on Sat Jun-16-07 08:47 PM by Old Crusoe
My problem with Bush is that he is not spiritually great. He's not even scripturally adherent to either the Gospels or the Constitution. He's an unchallenged man, an undeveloped and therefore insensitive sensibility, and appears to be void of empathy with people who are suffering. His administration, we're told, "rewards loyalty," but it is a loyalty exhibited only to those who earn as much or more than Dick Cheney and his friends at Halliburton and other vulture companies ripping the flesh off the bones of democracy as we speak. Everybody else can just bugger off, and especially if you live in New Orleans.

Bush is the target of contempt among just about all progressive souls out there, whether on the blogs or in barber shops or at the checkout line at the market. Fewer than a third of Americans think he's done a good job. More than two thirds think the Iraq War is a disaster and when there are foreign policy disasters afoot, the president, who is Commander-in-Chief, gets the blame, and properly so since he was warned against the assault on the criteria of foolishness and cruelty.

If Bush's physical personality is invoked in the harsh criticism it is allegory to the contempt people feel for his character. An unevolved consciousness in the Oval Office provokes fear and distrust and contempt -- and the severity of the criticism is less a blast at the man's body and mannerisms than a gauge of our lack of faith in his humanity.

208. Oh, brother.
I have a real problem with noob posters telling me what I should or should not call someone.

I personally don't use those terms for Bush because they are endearing in nature, and he is not cute or loveable like a chimp, he is a liar and a mass murderer and a thief. My standard word for him is "POS Bush". Even in my family, we simply use the shorthand POS for him and everyone knows who it is. When we go number 2 in the restroom, we even say "I just took a huge BUSH".


Hillary looks great for her age by the way. She's hardly "jowly". Besides, the right never hesitate to ridicule Hillary and Obama over their looks. They love to use the same pics of Clinton with bags under her eyes and a tired expression. They love to call Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama, which is even worse - like it's his fault that's his name.

212. It's his demeanor, not his looks.
Wiping bird droppings off his suit with his bare hand?

Calling people by stupid nicknames?

Wiping his glasses off on a woman's blouse?

The man is just plain uncivilized. To me, he is much less than a chimp. A chimp can be relied upon to behave like a chimp. GWB cannot be relied upon to behave like a man.
