The Kucinich Bush Bash Tour

from JoeUser Forums
You seriously have to wonder what goes through the minds of people like Kucinich who feel it's necessary to travel to a terrorist state, and the proceed to do the usual "Bush bashing" and "lies" rhetoric that is so common among the democratic party.  Now Kucinich has every right to mouth his nonsese in the U.S., that is freedom of speech.  However, what gives him the right to travel to an enemy state and do this? 

At what point is someone, especially someone running for President and is an elected member of Congress, crossing the line? 

Now here is the best part.....

"I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation ... I don't want to bless that occupation with my presence," Kucinich said in Lebanon, according to the Associated Press. "I will not do it."

So Kucinich has no problem making a "friendly" visit to a known terrorist state, but he just can't take the time to visit our brave troops.  Simply pathetic.

If Kucinich went to visit the troops, you would scream that he was being a hypocrite.  So he can criticize the President in the U.S. but that's it.  When did that become the rule?  At least he's consistent.  So what do you think the correct thing to do is?  All hail President Bush whether they agree with him or not?  That's not patriotism, that's stupidity. 

Lebanon is an "enemy state" now.  When did we declare war on them?

Kucinich's trip included Syria, which is on the US State Dept's list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. So Kucinich did visit an avowed enemy of the US on his trip -- he just wasn't actually in one when he made this statement.

Too true. This attitude is laughable, especially because he feels so much of himself that his presence blesses anything at all. But he'll apparently "bless" Syria and Lebanon with his presence but won't dignify the Iraq invasion with a drop-by. >rolls eyes<

First of all, I wouldn't "scream" that he was being a hpocrite by visiting the troops.  What happened to the far lefts mantra that "we support the troops, not the war"?  Guess that doesn't apply to Kucinich does it? 

I really don't care if Kucinich, or any other left wing loon p"hails" or criticizes Bush, I have a problem when an elected official travels to a terrorist state and does it.  Do you think this is proper?  Probably.

I wasn't referring to Lebanon, his anti-Bush comments were in Syria.

To go there to prove you are there for our soldiers not for Bush's policies. Show everyone that, just like many here say, you can support the troops without supporting Bush. To say you refuse to set foot there just because you think it's an illegal occupation is basically insulting every soldier in Iraq by calling them criminals.

No, the soldiers are just obeying orders. No one is calling them criminals.
