Woman Banned for Criticizing Bush's Legs
Fri Jul 25, 8:14 AM ET Add AP - Feature Stories to My Yahoo!



FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - A Borders Books & Music store has banned a Baltimore singer-songwriter from performing there after she made an unflattering comment about President Bush (news - web sites)'s physique during a concert at the store last week.



Julia Rose, who is also a fitness advocate, told the audience, "George Bush has chicken legs. He needs to pump some iron."


Rose said she has made the same comment at other Borders stores.


"In fact, the audience in Fredericksburg laughed when I said this," she told The Free Lance-Star newspaper. "The reaction was nothing different than typical crowds I've had."


Amy Korsun, area marketing manager for the Michigan-based bookstore chain, confirmed Wednesday that Rose has been banned from performing at the Fredericksburg store. She said Rose will be allowed to continue playing at other Borders stores in Virginia. She declined to say why Rose was banned from the Fredericksburg store.


Rose said she's mystified by the reaction.


"I never said anything about Bush being a bad president or anything," she said. "I was just poking fun at his scrawny frame."

Yeah, that sucks. USA has the freedom of speech and the sorts and Bush shouldn't be barring us from using the freedom of speech just because he's the president! :madfawk:

Arriverderci to Bush and Hello to new future president.... I didn't vote for Bush's father in 1988 and wasnt in the country when George W Bush won after Florida announced him the winner of the poll over Gore. (I secretly was hoping Al Gore'd win, oh well)
 
:eek: that is so fooked up bush should just ignore people's backstabbing and all but oh well shyt hapens :roll:
 
really what the presidential office members should do is go back into American History class and re-learn the first 10 ammendments of the US consitution -- the first one ofc being the free speech rights!!!!!!!

here it is: www.billofrights.com for those interested that is :)
 
Bush didn't ban that woman. The store did. They did it so they wouldn't look stupid by sponsoring a woman who criticizes the president.
 
lol I dont like borders anyways.....that will be a good excuse to why I dont want to eat there
 
Having freedom of speech does not means you have right to insult to someone. Your words could be hurt if you overused and abused your freedom to people.

Mebbe

But how can you hurt or insult Bush by saying he has chicken legs. He is so stupid that if you insult him he thinks you are complimenting him!
 
lets stay focused . . . this has nothing to do with george bush. I don't think georgie told Borders to BAN this person. I think Borders did this on their own.

Next time you go to Borders just ask to speak to the manager and tell him/her that you didn't like what they did and if they keep this up you'll buy your new books at Barnes and Noble instead.

(You might also want to complain about new DVDs without captioning too. Borders is a major buyer of DVDs and they can use their clout to force producers to CC their movies. If all you do is pout in forums, nothing will get done!:D )

Heh, that's quite a ginormous red herring you're waving, Bush in 2004. ;)

The farce continues in DC last week over 16 choice words in the state of union speech, and the response is the classic "I never promised you a Rose Garden.''

In other words, the chorus went something like: 'the CIA never told us about the phony uranium claim but it actually did only the National Security Advisor didn't read that memo/footnote but her assistant did read it back in October and he actually did remove that line from the October speech but didnt' tell her so she didn't know it shouldn't be in the State of the Union address so my speechwriters didn't know it shouldn't be there either only the same assistant to the NSA negotiated the wording that wasn't supposed to be there and the NSA herself didn't read it and I didn't read it either and those words shouldn't have come out of anyone's mouth and anyway the CIA passed it and I remain confident we're going to uncover evidence of those Iraqi weapons sometime sooner or later."
:sure:
To heck with the speechwriters.. the Shrub needs a whole new tune! :laugh2:

or as our president likes to say "crazy talk."
 
Even funnier, seeing how that "crazy talk" is entirely of his own Administration's creation. :laugh2:

You have nothing else of substance to add, i gather? :cool:

I disagree. You have the right to insult anybody you want. You just can't tell lies about them, i.e. slander or libel. You also cannot shout "fire" in a movie theater when there's no fire, for example. Saying he has chicken legs is an opinion. Last I checked, opinions does not equal slander or libel.

Additionally, keep in mind some famous Bush quotes:

There ought to be limits to freedom.

If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

He wants to turn us into a facist state.

I agree with deafbrutha that Bush is a moron. He's too stupid to eat a pretzel.
