Still reading zero on the clue meter I see. You are making far more of this than the Democrats. Your inability to be self-deprecating, your knee-jerk hostility, and your insistence on pigeonholing those who don't agree with you 1000% as evil liberals will ultimately be the Right's undoing. The world is not black and white, nor will it suffer indefinitely those who cannot see shades of gray. I only hope you don't take the whole country down with you.

Nice jokes there Bowfinger. I'm starting to see how your sense of humor works.

It's the democrats portraying this as black and white. They started the thread and are spreading this around the web as if it's important.

Evil liberals, your words and your pigeon holing solely because I don't agree with the democrats that think that some pre-gan sweatshirts mean something sinister about the Bush administration and dare to point that out. Try castigating the dems that are making something out of nothing. The ones that seem to think that style is more important than substance because they are the ones that need help, perhaps not your help, but help.

Ooohhh, I hope you don't take the country down with you too.

Tell you what. You show me where those Democrats "are making something out of nothing" and I'll see what I can do. On AT, at least, the only ones I see making a big deal of it are you and the other Bush toadies.

Take a look at this thread, it's a good example of democrats making something out of nothing. Or is that some of your humor again, blaming the people that pointed out that this is all about nothing and ignoring all of the people that are spreading this crap?

Go back and read the thread from the top. You're on the attack from your very first post. You post four times before the first post that's really critical of the Bush campaign. Most of the rest of the "Democrats making something out of nothing" are directed at you and your ludicrous, knee-jerk denials -- NOT the campaign merchandise.

I mentioned this thread to my wife. I think she's got you nailed. She thinks that, deep inside, you know Bush-lite is a boob. It really frustrates you every time he proves it. You attack every suggestion Bush is flawed to try to sell yourselves on his perfection. You can't even pass on a legitimate but immaterial screw-up like this. You are so rabidly defensive because you don't want to admit to yourselves you're devoted to a buffoon.

I don't blame you for that. I wouldn't either if I were in your shoes.

Bow, I know you like to make things up(ie lie) and post them here. I'm glad to see that your family plays together.

Quintessential etech: devoid of content, brimming with dishonesty, and evading the topic at hand. King George would be proud.

Just following in the style where you described you and your wife's little afternoon sitting around making up stories about me.

The Democrats are DESPERATE.

With all due respect etech, you're looking like the desperate one here. I'll repeat what I've told you before: Lighten up, Francis. Get that pole out of your arse.

This is one of those embarrassing, yet inconsequential stories where rational party supporters slap their foreheads, say "Doh! You got us, that was dumb," accept good-natured ribbing for a few days, and everyone moves on. Instead, you and the other bleating Bushies have your boxers in a bunch. You flatly cannot acknowledge even the slightest hint of a flaw in your feckless leader. You are turning this molehill into a mountain through your knee-jerk counterattack. I expect this out of Cad. I thought you were a little sharper.


You want the facts? Here they are. The Bush campaign screwed up. If they had half a clue, they would have insisted all their goods be U.S. manufactured ... just like Kerry. Lord knows they could afford it at their inflated prices, and it would have shown they recognize the plight of working Americans. (They don't, of course, but I digress.)

FACT: - SPALDING was told to use and BUY American made products.

At a minimum, the Bush campaign should have screened the merchandise from their vendors to make sure there weren't any embarrassing gotchas. Ooops. That horse is out of the barn now. In spite of that, they didn't break any laws or do anything materially wrong. They just made a bad P.R. move. It will pass. The fate of the Presidency doesn't ride on this. Sh!t happens, even to perfect Republicans who talk to God.

The fact that a supplier and end manufacturer screwed up has nothing to do with the Campaign. This is a mistake that the campaign has no part in.

(PS. - SuperTool: I suggest you change the title to Bleating Bushies' Boxers Bunched to more accurately reflect the content of this thread.)

(PPS. - etech: the line above is one of those humor things you don't grok. Keep working on it. You wouldn't want your face to freeze in a perpetual scowl.)

PPS - Bowfinger et al need to check their "FACTS" before trying to make this an issue. Those who are aware of how manufacturing and industry work would know that suppliers are responsible for providing you with the items you wish. In this case it was they who screwed up. Also for those who don't understand the minute number of "offending" jackets - please retake a few remedial reading and mathematics classes.

Sure seems to be a bit of desperation showing from the left on this

Byte me. You are a foul bunch. Here I am, essentially defending the Bush campaign, yet you crybaby Bush sycophants still jump all over me. The linked article doesn't say the Bush campaign requires US-made merchandise. Indeed, it suggests otherwise when it quote Spalding as saying it "tries to order American-made products." That doesn't sound to me like Bush requires it. Your "FACTS" are unsupported. If you have better information from a reputable source, get off your pugnacious butt and share it. Contribute something for a change. Stop turning everything into partisan attacks.

Here's a news flash for you Cad: Bush ain't perfect. Get over it.

Awww... poor Bow got his "FACTS" wrong and still thinks he is "defending the Bush campaign" yet doesn't have a clue that the Bush campaign did infact specify that it's campaign items be made in the USA.

Oh wait - who is the "foul bunch"? - maybe you should get off your own pugnacious partisan ass and find FACTS instead of lapping up the spin.

"I am totally prepared to accept responsibility," said Ted Jackson, president of Spalding. "This is about an honest mistake."

Jackson said a supplier shipped the wrong products.

He said the Bush campaign had asked that all of its products originate from American factories, and his company had listed those instructions when placing orders. Jackson said he had sent an apology letter to the campaign over the flap.

"We are committed to making sure only made-in-the-USA products are sold through the Web site," said Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.

Here's a newsflash for you Bow - the FACTS are that this was a supplier error and the campaign had given express instructions to use USA products. Now run along...

Yes, oh belligerent one, I was defending the Bush campaign. Try getting out of your knee-jerk partisan attack mode for a moment and look at what I said:

• This is one of those embarrassing, yet inconsequential stories where rational party supporters slap their foreheads, say "Doh! You got us, that was dumb," accept good-natured ribbing for a few days, and everyone moves on.

In other words, it doesn't matter. While I realize my comment doesn't meet your requirements for unconditional Bush boot licking, it is, nonetheless, a statement of support. Deal with it.

yet doesn't have a clue that the Bush campaign did infact specify that it's campaign items be made in the USA.

Perhaps so, and if true, good for the Bush campaign. However, Spalding's Jackson offers two somewhat different explanations depending on which article you read. They aren't necessarily contradictory, but we aren't yet to the point where one can say as FACT that Bush required American goods.

Either way, the incident remains inconsequential ... just like I said in the first place. If you weren't so busy attacking, you might notice I'm agreeing with you. Now go take a Midol and get off my back.

Don't post things like "You want the facts? Here they are. The Bush campaign screwed up. If they had half a clue, they would have insisted all their goods be U.S. manufactured ... just like Kerry." if you don't want people to be on your "back"

So yes - take your own "advice" and move on. You are FAR from being neutral or free of partisan spin so you can't pass your "facts" post off as "helping" Bush. Also - note I was talking to more people than you("et al" )- so unbunch your panties already.

I can't believe Bush actually banned goods from a repressive country.

hmmm I guess Walmart doesn't buy stuff from there.

Yeah that's it.
