Do you remember this idiot’s comments at the Katrina Telethon?
Kanye West’s dropped his famous “George Bush hates black people” bomb while begging for donations.
That comment, no doubt, did wonders for the fundraiser.
What a doofus.
This week popular former President George W. Bush told far left activist Matt Lauer that West’s comment was one of the most disgusting moments of his presidency.
Mediaite reported:
He talks about 9/11, about Donald Rumsfeld and a lot more. But he also talks about Kanye West.
Yes, that Kanye West. While he’ll probably love the shout-out, his comments after Hurricane Katrina during a live telethon had a profound negative effect on Pres. Bush. Here’s the exchange:
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH:
Yes, I do. He called me a racist.MATT LAUER:
Well, what he said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH:
That’s — “he’s a racist.” And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, “I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.” It’s another thing to say, “This man’s a racist.” I resent it, it’s not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency.
For the record… More Louisianans say Former President George W. Bush handled Katrina better than Obama handled the 2010 BP oil spill.

Obama didn’t handle the BP oil spill – his administration did everything possible to stop any progress of the clean-up. Obama should be held accountable for his blatant and willful inaction.

“It’s one thing to say, “I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.” It’s another thing to say, “This man’s a racist.”
That’s fair and reasonable. Basically, he’s saying that criticism is acceptable but lies aren’t. I’m down with that.
Lee Kwan commented:
This is the moron who has a Michaelangeloesque fresco painted in his house with him featured as a Jesus figure or something. Kanye West seems to share several qualities with his Obamessiah, e.g., both call Chicago home, both are incredibly narcissistic, and both love to stir up racial strife in order to promote their own careers.
Funny we never heard a word from this loser after the BP disaster or the floods in Tennessee. I’m sure the idiot still feels that President Bush cooked up the hurricane in some sort of super-secret machine and handcuffed the members of our most favored identity group to their homes so that they couldn’t exercise their own free will and good judgment and evacuate their domiciles.
Kanye’s a brain-dead, bone-headed moron!

I love this clip. The faces that Meyers makes are so funny while he sits thre and listens to this douchebag drone on. Heck even Rock was supprised. This is by far one of the best examples of the ignorance within the black community. Classic….

OK, George, I like you and everything…
but…
WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO BACK THEN?!?!?!?!?
Chisum commented:
Someone should introduce this moron Kanye to some of the Africans that adore President Bush for his determination and success in reducing AIDS. Thereby saving millions of lives. You know, all those black people?
Using Kanye’s logic we can come to the conclusion that Obama’s reduction in AIDS relief is racist! Right?
Auntie Em commented:
Kanye West got dropped on his head too many times as a baby. He’s a global idiot.
Tjexcite commented:
Calling someone a racist is more hurtful than calling someone a baby killer in a war for their own pleasure and killed 3000 Americans in a quest to do that is minor. Of all the hatred that George W. Bush got he is amazingly forgiving of it.
Could the current occupant of the white house be as forgiving when the left turn on him as they will.
Joanne commented:
Kanye West just showed himself to be a racist with his stupid rambling about helping the black people – I suppose the white people who he doesn’t consider his own should go to h*ll or something. He is totally incoherent in his rant to boot.
I guess all those black people suffering from AIDS Bush helped in Africa and around the world weren’t really black enough for Kanye West – what a fool.
gus commented:
Who the f@#4 is Kanye West?
Seriously who the f@#$ is Kanye West?
Can anyone tell me who the F@#$ Kanye West is??
Is Kanye West some sort of Global Humanitarian??
I can tell YOU who Kanye West is.
He’s f@#$ing clown. He raps or some other such nonsense and his i.q. is nearly 80.

Dear President Bush,
i totally agree.. and i thank you for speaking out.. i would also like you to know that you are sorely missed, and might i add, not just by Republicans (ie: i am not a Republican)..
however.. you’ve no clue what DISGUSTED means to me, fact is your successor has LABELED everyone & anyone who does not fall on their knees in praise of his superior policies RACIST..
and bless you for being a calm, cool, and collected, Commander In Chief..
but “we the people” are not going to take it anymore, especially not from
the selfish, soulless, sinister, Commanding IslaMarxist Caliph ruling over
US (literally)..

Alpha Centauri commented:
In America, being called a racist is worse than being a murderer. If you don’t believe me ask Mark Fuhrman or O.J. Simpson.
Newton’s right. Why the hell didn’t you say something about this and so many other baseless charges back then?!!
proof commented:
“More Louisianans say Former President George W. Bush handled Katrina better than Obama handled the 2010 BP oil spill.”
And Bush managed somehow, to play less golf…

Bush always made one thing very clear..
he trusted “we the people”..
if he had to “justifiably” speak out every time some idiot said something untrue, hurtful , or stupid (etc) about him.. he’d be labeled more of a whiner than Obama literally is..
GWB – Republican, hence, damned if he
did, damned if he didn’t, so get over it..
truth always reveals itself, always..
bottom line:
the IslaMarxist Support Machine would be on cloud 9 should GWB say something, anything against Obama.. they sit in waiting to skew GWB as a RACIST anytime, anywhere, for whatever reason.. ironic fact is, it doesn’t even have to be factual for them to pounce on GWB as being a RACIST.. wait for it, it’s coming.. why i wouldn’t be surprise if the next frenzied headline read something like.. GWB is a RACIST for being DISGUSTED
by what a BLACK (racist idiot) commie-d-man said, wait for it..

Why does Kanye West hate white people?
Elmo commented:
No one likes the N word [I heard it (very loud/angry/shouted) for the first time in fifteen or twenty years, two years ago. And was gunna go downstairs, and b*tch slap my neighbor, just on general principles (the sweet, lovely, dear freak since moved/tyvm)]. And a fair contingent don’t care for da F word (rhymes with a dead flesh eating bug).
But the libturd nation’s got no compunction with the flip side, of the very same coin (yeah .. it IS, used in place of/interchangeable with … cracker, honky, milk, Wonderbread, redneck, inbred, kissin cousin, pasty, knuckle dragger, etc. ad infinitum). They … ignantly/joyfully spewing the R word, with reckless wild abandon.
As I’ve said a thousand times now … say it to my face … and I’ll introduce you to reality …. and gravity, all in the same moment.

Newton @5 asked:
‘OK, George, I like you and everything…
but…
WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO BACK THEN?!?!?!?!?’
Obviously I can’t speak for Dubya himself, but it seems equally obvious that for the president to respond to a single citizen in a critical way would be unfair to that individual, and improper for one in that position. It would also be demeaning to the tradition of the presidency.
The man in the Oval Office serves to represent ALL the people, so calling out one citizen in complaint or condemnation would violate that relationship of trust. In short, it would not be ‘presidential’.
Of course, all that has been done recently, which helps explain the sense many have that the current resident does not appreciate the position he has been elevated to. No one who is close to Dubya or even Clinton could imagine either of them saying publicly that a specific citizen ‘acted stupidly’ or was an ‘enemy’.
Additionally, Bush 43 is a man of sincere prayer. A person of devout faith is secure personally, so he’s less tempted to foul the discourse by complaining. Humility brings Grace.
Certainly Kanye West’s accusation should have been universally condemned, but not by the president himself. The fact that it wasn’t may have contributed to most of the pain his false accusation caused.
That pain was (and clearly still is) massive, which is one aspect of the asymmetrical conflict between Leftists and conservatives. Those who cast aspersions casually rarely appreciate the severity of what they commit, and one who does appreciate it cannot respond in kind.
By our words, we can easily bring anguish to others, and bring ruin upon ourselves. Let us then speak wisely.
Best regards, Peter Warner.
Bruce Cunningham commented:
Wow what a brilliant strategy! Right after the election that has refuidiated Obama’s socialist agenda and the massive way the Conservatives have infiltrated the legislations throughout the land, state, local, municipal, national, he’s saying Obozo since you are the ‘WON’ time to rid the country of Affirmative Action. (wink) (wink)
Sen. Fuller Bull - D commented:
The only thing that Obama handled during the oil spill was a golf club, a travel brochure, and a party list.
StandUp4Chuck commented:
On a side note…..
Does this mean that Obama hates white people?
/sarc off
Stuart commented:
The racist charge used to be a powerful rebuke, but not any more. It has been used by so many, so often, and in such an offhand manner that it has all of the value of a Zimbabwean trillion dollar bill.

Besides #3 Lee Kwan….
To say nothing of the way Obama handled the floods in Tennessee….
And, by “handled”, I mean, didn’t even acknowledge their occurance at all.
But we already know that Obama hates white people. He and his entire coterie have made that abundantly clear. Hello, Eric Holder!
