Diagnosis: Advanced stage of BDS
File under “People with waaaay too much time on their hands.” But I guess it’s a lot more fun for these people to chase after Bush than it is to watch the Obama-culpo Cliff Diver currently occupying the White House.
Ask Bob Alexander how often he’s heard the word “quixotic” recently. The approximate answer: all the time. Of all the people who read Charles Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s best-selling “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder,” this 57-year-old Seattle coffee merchant is the only one jolted to act on it in a substantial way. The SuperBeans proprietor has become a super-activist.
With the help of a handful of volunteers and donations, Alexander has sent 2,200 copies of Bugliosi’s hardcover to prosecutors around the country. Now he and his volunteers are following up with each one of them by phone and e-mail, as well as gathering signatures for petitions urging the prosecutors to indict the former president…
…With 10 volunteers, some pizza and no doubt plenty of his coffee, Alexander packed the books with a cover letter from Bugliosi, and sent them off Jan. 31. Now they’re following up. “He really took the bull by the horns,” Bugliosi said. “Bob’s the only one that really took it to the next level.”
Question of resources
No takers so far, though, particularly in King County. Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff in the King County Prosecutor’s Office, said he’s answered about 500 e-mails from people who want charges filed against Bush.
“Mr. Bugliosi has some legal theories that he suggests, but none of which have any legal merit,” he said.
Goodhew explained, “The statutes of Washington state only give us jurisdiction for crimes that occur in Washington state. We can’t prosecute someone for a murder that occurs in California under Washington state law, so how can we prosecute for someone that was killed in Iraq?”

Vincent Bugliosi wrote this book?
Incredible.
Pray for President Bush.
It makes you wonder what he’s brewing his coffee with.
Idiotic is more like it.
Bush Derangement Syndrome, or Obama Derangement Syndrome, the silliness will always continue.
I read a story online where a blogger invited posters to photoshop a German food product to make light of Pres Obama.
The unfortunate reality is that there is BDS and ODS and petty people will always look to any silliness to diminish those we dislike with knee jerk reactionary silliness.
zyzzyg,
I find nothing silly about Obama.
I think after reading this I do not believe Obama merits any respect whatsoever.
READ THIS ONE VETERANS
http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20090316/pl_usnw/the_american_legion_strongly_opposed_to_president_s_plan_to_charge_wounded_heroes_for_treatment
Hmm, a completely wacked-out book by a tinfoil hat-wearer about fictionalized crimes OR a playful jab at a ridiculous but real product sold in Germany.
A war is still going on under Obama’s watch, yet no one is calling him a butcher.
Small difference there.
“this 57-year-old Seattle coffee merchant is the only one jolted to act on it in a substantial way. The SuperBeans proprietor has become a super-activist.”
He needs to switch to decaf or a hemp-based tea.
True, but he has found a way to generate $540 million in revenue from the war. Read the link above.
That did it for me! Nutcase.
You people set the standard.
Your inability to see the difference between irreverent photoshopping (that’s not obscene, either) with actually attempting a lawsuit where there is no jurisdiction demonstrates how idiotic you libturds really are.

Nice try, dipwad. Michelle’s call for bloggers to photo-shop the chicken finger ad was not intended to make light of Obama (as if he needs any help making sport of himself), but to make fun of the alleged ‘racist’ overtones of the German company’s faux pas.
Also, do not attempt to equivocate some ‘high road’ position, as if you are the only one who is able to maintain a semblance of moral superiority when it comes to showing respect for the office of, or the person who is, the President. Do you possess any objective evidence showing you taking any stance against the folks who ridiculed Bush on a daily basis? If not, shut the hell up.
That’s the trouble with the Puget Sound area…crappy newspapers reporting liberal propaganda. I loved living there, but the libs there are really nutty. Well, the P.I. is gone, maybe the times will soon follow.
And one more thing about this.
Trust me, it ain’t happening. If Bush gets tried for anything, Republicans will be emboldened to try and get Obama tossed out of office on Constitutional grounds.
Good luck, BDS victims.
Let’s all be clear about this, if Obama succeeds in getting this insurance charge implemented toward wounded vets, the $540 million will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher premiums. That action will tend to put affordable health insurance out of reach for even more Americans, giving credence to the Socialists call for National Health Insurance. Self-serving ba$tard$, aren’t they?
It’s pretty sad that, even after Dems won the 2008 election (as sad as it is for those of us who have to pay for their mistakes) they can’t press the reset button.
I mean, Bush came into office after all the petty crap Clinton put the country through and he didn’t even go after him. I’m sure some Republicans were disappointed by that decision but personally, if you had Clinton as a “role model” during your high school and college years as I did, you were just glad to see him gone.
I really think that Americans have no priorities (on both sides). Republicans don’t want to put up a substantive, alternative approach to Obummer’s mob rule and libs just can’t get enough of the games at the country’s collective expense.
I wouldn’t call it BDS, I would call it fascism. It is a disorder that begins when you start to believe that anyone who doesn’t agree with you should be imprisoned or put on a box car. The fact that the press glorifies these monsters is truly disgusting.
They must really envy Putin. He just throws his enemies in jail for life and confiscates all of their property. The Dems may try the same thing after they manage to revoke the Constitution so the ultimate monument to affirmative action run amok can be President for life.
Nice material for a punny response:
“Prosecutor says coffee merchant has no grounds for legal action”
“Coffee seller cannot filter out voices, seeks Bush indictment”
“Coffee shop owner does not know SuperBeans about law”
Come on, you try it. Fun and pun for the whole family.
This last bit seems to indicate to me that the Prosecutor Goodhew seems to feels that Bush really is to blame for someone who is killed in Iraq by a terrorist.
How very telling… and how very sad.
You did not understand my post. There are people on both sides that use silliness to diminish who they do not like. I am not saying Pres Obama is silly, or not silly. Talking about chicken fingers, or his ears, is not substantive, it is just silly. Take him to task over his policies, like in the link provided, but to make fun of a German food product and link it to Pres Obama when he has no connection to it is just silly.
No, I did not set the standard.
Irreverant photoshoping is funny and yes, silly. When Pres Obama can be taken to task over substance.
And, a lawsuit prepared by a coffee barrista can not be taken seriously, it is also silly and meaningless.
BTW, name calling without any basis is silly, too. A comment stating and acknowledging that there is BDS, and ODS, does not merit the absurd assignation of any perjoritive.
Luckily for us we don’t have to stoop that low. Obama does it all for us.
Wrong. That was not MM’s motive because she went on to suggest that she thinks tentacles and pigs feet would better represent Pres Obama.
I never said I was “the only one who is able to maintain a semblance of moral superiority when it comes to showing respect for the office of . . . President . . “ You assumed this on your own.
I have taken issue with others who have gone silly over Pres Bush. You are welcome to search MM’s data base and find out for yourself. I have nothing to prove to you.
MM’s Blog is an open forum and anyone can post their opinions, your suggestion to be quiet, . . . falls on deaf ears.
So, what you’re saying, zyzzyg, tying up work hours of hundreds of prosecutors and some silly (yep, silly) photoshopping fun are equivalent.
Lighten up, Francis.
Now here is a good example of the “useful idiot”. He ought to be more concerned on what this new government is going to do to his business than helping to play the dictator card, prosecuting all “enemies of the people.” Perhaps he feels he’ll be immune from the takeovers. He may find himself in trouble too, being a member of the “oppressive rich”. Perhaps he’s so stupid about history, that he’ll cheer the new regulations telling him exactly how his business will be run, under the new banner, “The People’s Coffee Company”.
Bugliosi was long ago infected with Hollywierdness. I remember when he was often on Star Trek, portraying a divine-like creature! His is the height of egotistic behavior.
This is beyond ABDS. This indicates TBDS. Terminal Bush Derangement Syndrome. Nothing is more important, and they will take it to their graves, which for some is still a long way off.
Maybe if R.S. Cheney gives more interviews and speeches, the BDS crowd have their collective BP raised, suffer a stroke and turn into blathering vegetables….oh wait….they already have.
In the spirit of hopeychangeyness, hope springs eternal. I heard that SCOTUS HBIC (Head Barrister In Charge) Roberts says he will look into the whole Pbo vs birthers issue. With about 350K signatures, it’s clear that Pbo would be money ahead if he would simply provide a real birth certificate. Of course, that (approximately) $1 million he has spent to keep it out of sight will be lost, but you know, this is America.
I am beginning more and more to see Pbo as Borat as President….just words, words without meaning.
cant wait until BHO taxes this pinhead out of business .
.
you don’t say..
Superbeans..heh.
Obama supporters are either complete tools or they simply enjoy wearing tin foil hats.
Chucky,
You validated my point with your reply to zyzzyg. The Obama supporters after years of calling Bush everything but a child raper (which is probably the basis of some blog topics over at Kos) cannot stand the thought of any dissent aimed at their guy. It does not matter if it is parody or not. The ‘racism’ word always comes into play. Classless and clueless pretty well sum up the whole bunch.
sean
sean#13 your post is exactly correct. don’t debate your positions, destroy through any means possible your critics. mr obama was elected twice in illinois by destroying his opponents and making them get out of the race so he could run unopposed. he shows every indication of doing so as the leader of the free world. fascism indeed. can gulags be far down the road.
zyzzyg said “but to make fun of a German food product and link it to Pres Obama when he has no connection to it is just silly.”
Didn’t obummer stump in Germany? There is a connection: Commemorative microwave chicken!!
I sure hope coffee dude Bob grows his own beans seeing how obummer isn’t exaclty making any freinds in Columbia…
On a related note, Dennis Kookcinich calls for investigation of Cheney Secret Assassination Squad allegations raised by moonbat “jounralist” Sy Hersh.
So, why are they not going after the senators who signed off on the Iraq war? Are they not murderers as well? As I recall, there were plenty of Dems on that list.

This is a whole lot more than an Advanced stage of BDS and goes far beyond President Bush and his Administration. Vincent Bugliosi is only one part of this “Our Turn-a New Night of the Long Knives”. Representatives Henry Waxman, Maxine Waters-the Congressional Black Caucus in General, Senators have all called for Special War Crimes Trials-either International or Congressional. William Ayres call for Re-education camps and 25 million dead unrepentant capitalist is NOT foreign to these people. He is not an outside crank but part and parcel to these people.
Flyoverman #5 mentions President Obama’s plan to charge Veterans for SERVICE CONNECTED INJURIES AND WOUNDS. That has been a plan of the Left for years–more denigration of our military. As Britain eliminated their Veterans hospitals and most of their military hospitals, rolling them into the National Health Service so the Left and Obama plan to do so.
Despite what our wimpy trolls, talking heads of the MSM or anyone else tells you we are in a fight for our very way of life and many of us our very life itself.Fascism IS here–Obama, Rahm Emmanuel and such are NOT just some silly Liberals–not by a long shot.

Keep the change-I’ll keep my guns
That’s because their button says “overcharge.”
Obama’s chief defense. The reason he was selected to force demonrat policies down the throat of America, with a demonrat controlled congress, then hide behind the racism shield. A perfect liberal storm, so to speak.
I think its time we coined a new version of this to indicate the frustration of us ‘normal’ folk out there… the tea party-ers…
It would be pronounced as “odious” and may reflect either the state of the economy or the mental state of those fed up with the current state of affairs…
Spot on.
Agreed.

What does have legal merit is to have charges filed against Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the rest of the brew crew in Congress who stole our life savings and condemned our grandchildren to a lifetime of debt. I think that sounds like a better course of action Mr. SuperBeans.
Thanks granite, I HOPE we can reach more–millions more.
On the evening of September 11th 2001, while watching recaps of the day’s events, I turned to my wife and said “I’ll give the grieving process about 2 weeks, then all sh!t will hit the fan, and we’ll never hear the end of it.”
She thought I was out of my mind, but not anymore.

Arizona: Nice post. These are definitely not garden variety liberals. These are committed bolsheviks ready and willing to do wet work on non-compliant Americans. If they are feeling froggy they need to go ahead and jump. American patriots will be ready.
I still say we should have the legal option of a recall election. 2012 is too long a wait to remove this disastrous president.
Someone get that guy some decaf.
Obama-culpo Cliff Diver LOL …
This whole get Bush affair is getting really old and wearying thin. If I were to get one of these “hardcover” books, the first thing I would do with it is throw it in the trash.
Obviously this whole thing is targeted at ignorant Obama voters, who probably still can’t figure out what country they fell off the turnip truck in.
Bugliosi spend too much time with Charles Manson and develop Stockholm Syndrome?
Helter-Skelter, Baby!
Or beat some sense into a liberal with it.
Probably not possible, but nice try.
Dear Dan Satterberg,
It has come to my attention that Ian Goodhew is receiving emails calling for the prosecution of President Bush for murder. It seems he is doing little to shut down the deranged idea that Bush is a murderer and should be prosecuted.
From the Seattle Times:
Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff in the King County Prosecutor’s Office, said he’s answered about 500 e-mails from people who want charges filed against Bush.
“Mr. Bugliosi has some legal theories that he suggests, but none of which have any legal merit,” he said.
Goodhew explained, “The statutes of Washington state only give us jurisdiction for crimes that occur in Washington state. We can’t prosecute someone for a murder that occurs in California under Washington state law, so how can we prosecute for someone that was killed in Iraq?”
Also, Goodhew said, “Even if there was jurisdiction, we don’t have the resources.”
Your office cannot be serious! Why is it your stance that you lack resources and not that it is an idiotic idea at best?
Need I remind you that your Senator, Cantwell, supported the war in Iraq? It seems to me you should be cleaning your own house first before you decide if there is merit to charge President Bush for murder.
I formerly request that ANY action or further requests for the prosecution of President Bush be preceded by an arrest and prosecution of Senator Cantwell.
Sincerely,
Feel free to write your own letter.
Dan Satterberg
Michelle, we also need to find out what weapons systems obama is going to cut. Remember the outcry when bush didn’t magicaly attach just invented armor onto every vehicle in Iraq? Also they will be forcing private insurance to pay for service related medical expenses.
No kidding. I will be back in a sec with the links.

I do wonder when this book will become a college text book – possibly required reading. AAMOF, several years ago I visited Lynchburg, Va and went into the Randolph-Macon (now it’s called Randolf College) book store. A book by John Stewart (!) was required reading for some course…
Everyone needs to look at the comments on The Washington Post article by Mitch McConnell (R) Senate Minority Leader Kentucky. He states Don’t Close Gitmo. The Blowback to his article calls him a liar and calls our troops at Guantanamo both incompetent and better used in Afghanistan apparently the Kos Kids got busy on Senator McConnell’s article for the Washington Post although it could be one of the papers on staff writers

Guantanamo broke men, it drove some totally innocent men totally insane. If men who were innocent bystanders when they arrived at Guantanamo have been brought to hate the USA so much that they are NOW too dangerous to be released, then they should be held in the most humane possible conditions, offered therapy. But the simplest way to speed their healing would be to prosecute and punish the US war criminals who authorized their illegal torture in the first place.

Senator McConnel asks: “Will it keep Americans as safe as Guantanamo has? If the answer is no, the administration must explain why fulfilling a campaign promise or pleasing European critics is a more important consideration.”
Senator McConnel isn’t it true that there is absolutely no evidence that the routine abuse of the Guantanamo captives, and their abusive interrogation have worked to keep the public any safer. What the records seem to show is that Guantanamo functioned as a factory for producing a stream of bad information through forcing captives to utter false confessions and false denunciations. Taking this stream of bad information at face value has made the public much less safe, because irreplaceable, limited, counter-terrorism resources were squandered on wild-goose chases triggered by these false denunciations.
Why just consider the manpower tied up guarding the captives at Guantanamo. The staff at the base TRIPLED following the opening of the camp — 6,000 GIs. That is two whole desperately needed brigades which weren’t available for deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Neanderthal,
Thanks for your voice concerning American veterans. We appreciate it.
What is this loon adding to the coffee he sells?
Why is it also that these “activists” all look like they came out of the same clone lab? Early 60s, beard, longish hair, “smart” glasses… geez!
Vicent Bugliosi would do better to focus his attention on Obama’s family friends…
Despite Dohrn’s more recent attempts at revisionism, her 1969 quote speaks for itself.
Vicent Bugliosi prosecuted Charles Manson. Now he should focus on one of Manson’s fans who went on to murder a police officer.
Republicans cheered as publicly paid prosecutors spent millions hounding former President Clinton over possibly lying about a consensual sexual encounter.
There is good evidence that Bush knowingly ordered illegal torture. That’s worse than sex because (1) it does more harm to the reputation of the US, and (2) it isn’t consensual.
Bush and Cheney should be grateful that it’s only a few nuts hounding them, not the full force of the US government.
Mr. Polite to the rescue.
Dear Mr. Goodhew,
Thank you for your quick response.
While I understand the press may not have done you justice, I think I really take issue with the idea that you have an opportunity to shut the tripe down. There should be little doubt where your office stands. According to the quote, you “lack resources”. Where is the “polite” in that statement? Where is your backing of the President of the United States? What I am getting is your office is not taking a strong stand to shut this down and, it should. By being “polite”, you are not chasing of the rats for fear of upsetting them.
Again, if there is a call in your area for the arrest of President Bush, you must answer with the arrest of Senator Cantwell and make it known that is the avenue that you must take in order to proceed in the prosecution of President Bush. There is little other recourse. If Bush is guilty, so is your Senator. There is just no “polite” way to resolve that issue.
I look forward to your quick and decisive action against Senator Cantwell if this movement is to go any further.
Sincerely,
What that other Hussein guy in Iraq did was torture.
What was done to terror detainees was hazing.
Wow. Those are pretty big words for a nine year old.
OKAY! Who said idiot and opened the flood gates and let the idiot in?

Those words (minus my additions in []), were printed in the New York Times on September 11, 2001.
Yet, the Muslims who planned the attacks are not considered “enemy combatants” by Barack Obama.
Even the Bush-deranged pals of LGM in the MSM refused to help sell this book. I read Bugliosi’s book “Helter Skelter” in 1974, so I helped set him on the road to fame and fortune. The book was the product of an organized mind, but he sure is harebrained now. He is courtroom proof of the power of BDS. I’m praying that 4 years of The One doesn’t leave me with a serious case of ODS. Bugliosi is agnostic, so he missed out on the power of prayer. He also lives in La-La Land–a double whammy.
Why do you people insist on feeding the trolls?
For me it is a guility pleasure. Sorry.
So books about allegations of murder and photoshopping chick’n fingers are equivalent now?
William Ayers bombed multiple government buildings, and named his two sons after Allah and the son of Muhammad.
William Ayers is an “enemy combatant“.
And his “family friend” is in the white house, with access to every state secret of this country, and complete authority over our entire military.
We are at war, folks, and it’s not just in Iraq and Afghanistan. Enemy combatants are right here, trying to destroy this country from within.
Oh, they think they have “a righteous wind at their back”, they think they are “saving the planet”, but their Muslim-friendly Socialist dreams are this country’s worst nightmare.

Heh.
But seriously, Obama’s “family friend” referred to our country as “Amerikkka“, and his “pastor” of 20+ years (who preaches Marxist “Black Liberation Theology” and is good friends with Louis F@rr@kh@n) referred to our country as “U.S. of KKK A“.
Why don’t the BDS-inflicted people “connect the dots” on this stuff?
There’s an enemy combatant usurping the oval office.
Do you want a “takeback” on this one?
Now THIS is BDS. The phrase in so played out, but it certainly seems to apply in this case.
