Bush Denies Ahmadinejad Visited New York

by Scott Ott · 70 Comments

(2007-09-26) — President George Bush today denied that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ever visited New York City and said there’s “no definitive evidence” that he spoke at Columbia University or the United Nations this week.

“If it had happened it would have been horrible — a crime against humanity,” said Mr. Bush, “But I can assure you, it’s a myth.”

Mr. Bush added that, “In order ensure that America’s children get an accurate picture of this week in history, all references in the news media to Mr. Ahmadinejad’s alleged visit will be expunged, and future public school textbooks will treat the episode as a crazy conspiracy theory, if they mention it at all.”

An official White House newspaper-burning ceremony is slated for Friday night, to kick off a week of similar mandatory events nationwide.

    At our institutions of higher learning we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who told you that we have this.

    Heh! BTW. I was doing my scripture study today (I’m in Ecclesiastes) and something caught my eye and gave me validation. I am sure that it will do the same for you:
    As dead flies give perfume a bad smell, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:1-2

    Totally off topic, and hopefully not a disappointment to Beerme, but I saw on Fox and Friends this morning that the Catholic League is calling for a boycott of Miller because they are supporting a “festival” in San Francisco that deserves no description. Suffice it to say it’s happening in San Francisco.

    One bunch tried to do the WTC with a truck load of bombs, didn’t work. Dumb

    One bunch tried airplanes, got lucky but they still were not the brightest bulbs in the box

    Then we linked those folks with a real bright guy that was certain we wouldn’t attack him (he should have been right but wasn’t even close) or that if we did he could defeat us. Another rhodes scholar

    The bunch that are left over there figure it’s a good idea to strap a bomb to themselves (why didn’t I think of that? it’s such a foolproof plan)

    One bunch of pizza makers/deliverymen about 3 miles from where i’m sitting wanted to attack a US Military base. Brilliant plan that

    One bunch wanted to ignite the fuel storage at a NY airport thinking that the pipes that feed all around would also blow up and take out the whole installation. Rocket scientists

    The millionaire leader of the whole shmeggeggy lives in caves in Afghanistan/Pakistan. More brilliance.

    This one denied the holocost (and gays) and openly says he wants to wipe Israel off the map. He’s the bright one? Ok, i’m scared now

    Let’s not go there again. This particular nutjob did not cause those things of which you speak. Appluading is not causing

  • 28 Shelly // Sep 27, 2007 at 10:01 am

    This particular nutjob is not isolated. He is part of the one movement that did all of those things and much more. And he is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers, Iraqi men, women and children, Lebanese men, women and children, any female in his country that does not comply with something so small as a dress code, not to mention any homosexual who has the gall to exist. I am surprised by the certainty you have in his innocence, given his overwhelming support of terrorism whenever given the chance. But he wasn’t on a plane on 9/11 so he’s not a bad guy. You have no doubt that he had any responsibility in the deaths of those other thousands.

    On another note, the boycott on Miller does not relate to Dennis. I am now watching the O’Reilly Factor that I DVR’d last night. When asked about this nutjob Dennis Miller replied, “He did not disappoint. I thought he was beautifully demented. He always looks like a rat that just bit into an extension cord.”

    Boberin, there are two kinds of crazy/stupid - naturally mentally deficient or what many call “simple or ill” and unnaturally by choice.

    When one believes so totally in their own made-up reality that their world revolves around that “reality” then that kind of crazy/stupid becomes dangerous evil. Scripture tells us that Satan masquerades as an angel of light. He’s cunning, witty and he’s a true believer - he is total evil.

    You laugh at those who strap bombs to themselves and you call them rocket scientists, in derision. The mistake that you make is that, like so many liberals, you view “smart” only based on your intellectual understanding of “smart”. Smart can also mean “cunning” and cunning mixed with evil is dangerous indeed.

    I make fun too, calling the little weasle in Iran, Ahm-a-durn-nut-job, but the reality is that Hitler wasn’t taken seriously either, for many years, and our corporations and our government worked with him, traded with him and gave him validation. He might have been crazy, but he was crazy like a fox and I have a feeling that Ahmadinijad has a red, bushy tail as well.

    Bush announced a team of scientists and scholars will study audio and video tapes of Ahmadinejad’s supposed visit to New York: “Only forensic science can determine if Iran’s President was actually in New York, or if it was a huge hoax. At this stage, we don’t know if this was a real dictator or just a bad hologram.”

    Bober;

    He does more than applaud. He trains and arms the insurgents in Iraq. He is developing nukes for use by Iran. He is helping fund N. Korea’s setup of nukes in Syria. Even so, I don’t fear him as much as I fear that Americans are not sufficiently willing to take this madman out, or at least take his toys away from him, before he does something that draws the whole world into war again.

    Heirborn Ranger,

    I’ve got a ‘72 Vega I can let you have real cheap. It burns about a quart and a half of oil per week. Pretty reliable too. You can rely on it to break down regularly. The radio automatically censors broadcasts as it cuts in and out a bit. Just be careful going over railroad tracks as the radio tends to drop out of the dashboard and onto the floor. The peppy little aluminum block engine assures you can go 0-60(ft.) in about 3 minutes. You’re actual performance may vary depending on the incline of the hill you’re on. You have my personal email address. Feel free to make an offer.

Till then, I know lots of nut cases (no, not quite on his level) but I leave them alone/igonore them unless they actually do something to me or mine.
    We tried a preemptive strike, found that it was not needed (as that madman screamed over and over again) and look where that got us. The military stretched to the brink, services for veterans still nearly non-existent (see today’s Phila Inquirer for clarification) and the economy virtually ruined for the forseeable future. Oil over $80/barrel.

    Weigh the facts about our economy against your “….and the economy virtually ruined for the forseeable future.” taken from your little red “hot line” phone that Soros had installed for you, to enable you to get your daily talking points directly from himself.

    The only economy ‘virtually ruined’ has no “virtually” attached; it’s the economy of my state of Michigan with our Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm - our Democrat Senators Carl Levin & Debbie Stabenow; I believe they’ve managed to drive the once great state of Michigan to the 50h lowest economy in the United States.

    Jennifer has only three days left to avoid a state government lockdown, A budget she began working on five months ago and today is no nearer to than she was back then.

    “Life is not meant to be lived in fear”

    Oh really? Then why do those so-called “enlightened, reality-based community” of moonbats on the other side of the aisle live out their fear every stinkin’ day by demonizing President Bush and equating him with Hitler, claiming America is a fascist or will be a fascist state under Bu$Hitler, by ultimately believing American troops are blind pawns fighting an imperialist war to extend America’s immoral and illegal hegemony in the Middle East, by incessantly whining about the purported evil of multi-natural corportations and the economic power they wield which will destroy our lives, and by spewing their filth that our “Euro-centric, patriarchial, misogynist founders” and their offspring (us) are the real terrorists and a blight on the world because we suck up the majority of the world’s resources thereby impoverishing other nations because we are not trading with them but rather are “stealing” from them?

    Conversely, conservatives rail against very real despots, tyrants and murderers, bober, but the left that you seem to side with have to make up their own demons. They hate Bush, Cheney and Rove more than they hate terrorists. Pathological, lying sickos.

    beekabok2: I remember our Rambler, but I wasn’t old enough to drive it. It was a new 1960 stationwagon and I remember that it had a back window that was rolled down from the outside of the tailgate. We had a big, foam rubber mat that was placed in the back end for long trips and so we fought over who got to ride back there to sleep. (No seatbelts back then and no air conditioning) One of my favorite things to do was to take a bag of rubberbands and link all of the bands together (like for Chinese jumprope - remember that??) and then tie either a pinecone or a plastic figure to the end, throw it out that back window and watch it bounce all over the rode in front of the cars behind. Is that legal today??? :-)

    Boberin:
    Nobody lived in fear of Hitler either. Not even the Jews when he was rounding them up. He was killing innocent Jews and Christians and Homosexuals and any other non blonde-haired, blue-eyed individual he could, while the rest of the world said, “What’s there to fear? He hasn’t done anything to us.” - That is, until he came after them (Britain, France, Poland, etc) and then the world woke up and said, “Oh no! He’s a madman!” Well, personally, I wish that they had taken him out before he had killed all of those people in the gas chambers and done all the experiments on those poor kids. That has nothing to do with fear, and everything to do with compassion and facing reality.

    Boberin, get online and crunch the real numbers of percent of GDP, etc. and be surprised. But be that as it may, I am talking all out-of-control spending. The SS and Medicare systems didn’t get in the shape they are in over an 8 year period. The education spending mess didn’t happen just since No-child-left Behind (of which I am opposed). I would encourage you to get the book, “The Coming Economic Earthquake” by Larry Burkett, written in 1991 and republished in 1994 with an inclusion of the Bush 42 and Clinton administrations. He has no kind words for the spending practices of Nixon or Carter or Bush or Johnson, etc. I am here to tell you that the reality is that this mess has been brewing for a long time and I haven’t seen one single candidate on either side of the isle willing to face the tough decisions. Polls triumph over reality.

    Boberin, what is the unemployment rate right now and what has it been for the most part of this presidency? Also, please research and check to see what the unemployment rate for past presidential terms has been. While you are at it, check the interest rates and the GDP numbers, as well as the poverty percentage numbers. The economy has been roaring (and it is time for it to really back off), production has been up and the poverty numbers has been declining. If this is a bad economy, I can live with it.

    Anyone care to inform Bober about how the Bush tax cuts have actually lowered the deficit and created a broader tax base? All this while we are waging war in the Middle East. Now if the Dems who control Congress would just end, or at least reduce earmark spending we might actually see some truly amazing deficit reductions.

    Just Ranting: AMEN!!!

    And another thought on the Lilliputian Lizard in Iran for Boberin to contemplate: If, God forbid, Ahmadurnnutjob should happen to develop a weapon that he drops on Israel or that he sells to terrorists who then blow up, say, Lawrence, Kansas, do you promise not to ask, “What did Bush know and when did he know it? Why didn’t he stop it from happening?”

    JR and cat, are you dissing the Teapot Museum that earmarks brought to North Carolina? ;-) No, I’m not kidding, and that’s not a typo. Teapot Museum.

    It amazes me that Kennedy, Reagan and Bush all cut taxes and saw the tax revenues soar, but libs still refuse to take yes for an answer. I also love the myth of Clinton’s surplus. Could someone please point out to me which year our federal government spent less than it took in?

    Shelly, ~giggle~ Could someone please point out to me which year our federal government spent less than it took in? It was that year that the government ended poverty and put a chicken in every pot, don’t ya know!

    A teapot museum. I love teapots. I collect teapots. ….. ♪ ♪ Cuzzzzz, I’m a little teapot, short and stout…..♪ ♪ ♪

    So the Jena Banana ( a new fruit grown in Louisiana) has been given over to the Gov, Al Sharpton and the most Reverend Martin Luther the 23rd, in a pretty photo op.

    Oh how cute (said with a Southern accent)

    Ms RW
    In the south we say “Bless His Heart” and give a knowing look because we know that is all he has to look forward to.

    And Bober is lazy so he sticks to what he knows cuz it might take effort to go from thought process A to thought process B.
    It would be to strenous to do the math, research and reading. Smoke would stream from his ears and that might be uncomfortable.
