Subject: Re:Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back.
Modified by Papa Zoom (27. March 2009, 17:07:12)

The Usurper:   Breaking part of my own rule and arguing via a quote: 



Did President Bush call the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper?"
Is it true that President Bush called the Constitution a "goddamned piece of paper?" He has never denied it, and it appears that there were several witnesses.
A: Extremely unlikely. The Web site that reported those words has a history of quoting phony sources and retracting bogus stories.
The report that Bush "screamed" those words at Republican congressional leaders in November 2005 is unsubstantiated, to put it charitably.



We judge that the odds that the report is accurate hover near zero. It comes from Capitol Hill Blue, a Web site that has a history of relying on phony sources, retracting stories and apologizing to its readers.

My guess is that Bush never said this.  It's running around the internet as if it were true.  It's an unsubstantiated story and if not true, it's not only irresponsible to pass it on as truth, it questions your credibility in other areas.  Unless you have "proof" and not just some hateful website making this claim, then you have nothing.  You say Bush can't be defended here.  That's a nice American ideal.  Guilty  because you say so.  Bush can in fact be defended if if guilty because that's how our system works.   But in fact there is no real evidence he's said this nonsense and you've posted it more than once.  I've seen nothing to indicate that this is true.  Got any hard facts?
 


Oh, and there's more here
