CNN Crock News Network

Bush was a respectable human being. Trump is not. The only attack ever put onto Bush was on his policies. Trump is so horrible his policies don't even matter.

Bush was repeatedly called a racist (like all of them are called), and accused of 'blood for oil' for the Iraq Gulf War, for just 2 instances.... escape history-rewriting Planet CNN before it's too late... (Btw: do you notice, ironically, that you're helping prove the meme correct, by using the death of Bush, in order to attack Trump? Just like the fake newsies are doing)

Bush was never once called a racist by anyone, including Ronald Reagan who refused to endorse his first Presedential bid till after - AFTER - Bush won the primaries, nor the Republican base that dubbed him a RINO and harangued him by chanting "Wimp factor" and called him ignorant of foreign policy despite him being former Ambassador to China and the former head of the CIA.

If it wasn't for his appeal to Democrats as well, Bush Sr would have never won the first time - the last time a Republican was elected President by winning the popular vote and minus the excuse of "We had to because we were in the midst of war."
Republicans abandoned Bush the second run in droves to vote instead for Ross Perot and Bill Clinton, the latter whom they dubbed a Republican in disguise.

The only incident I can recall were someone got disrespectful and out of line with George HW Bush was Dan Rather in an interview on CBS Evening News when Bush was running the first time. It was so unrelentingly rude I decided right then to vote for Bush and not watch CBS News again (which my family did every night at dinner. So we switched to ABC).

Trump attacked Bush repeatedly, "Thousand Points of Light, what is that?" not ring any bells and all the rest he has said?
The former Presidents, including both Bushes, have never been particularly fond of Trump - and he was not missed at Barbara Bush's funeral which he did not attend because being butthurt is a thing.

George Herbert Walker Bush Sr's approval rating according to a Gallup Poll after winning the FIRST US Iraq War was 89%, the highest of any President ever. The War was praised for its cause, its unprecedented coalition, and its quick and decisive success. The only criticism he got from some circles regarding it was that he didn't carry it further to oust Saddam Hussein, a move he knew would create chaos and a vacuum such as Iraq is currently experiencing now after the second and bungled US Iraq War.

btw, the Gulf War was widely televised from the front, mostly by CNN. I dare you to find them trashing him then or any other time.

Pretty slimy exploiting Bush's death for your bot proganda lies, don't you think?

Oh, that's right, no, you do not.

I don't do links.

I don't see quotes of CNN trashing Bush and calling him a racist.

Come on, guy, you're not even tossing in the criticism over his "My little brown ones" quip.

You wrote 'Bush was never once called a racist by anyone', not limited to CNN... **** Cheese and crackers! It was really just a meme! (and even has a 'satirical content' disclaimer)... You can't be that owned by CNN to not know that the strategy of praising President HW Bush is much like what they did with John McCain: use it to marginalize and attack Trump. It is what it is. I just try to use satirical humor to poke fun at it. No need to over-analyze.

That's all you got, you gleefully inept lying blood sucker?
How old are you, and have you ever even been to America?

The majority of people liked Bush, as they liked McCain. Neither of those sold America out to Russia and tried to destroy us from every angle within that they could, unlike the current POStus. For that reason and more, the majority of people don't like Trump.
Weird, huh?

You got a problem with heroes being treated as heroes and traitors as traitors? Good, you should. Now figure out why.

You're such an uninformed bot, you weren't even able to flesh out the Willie Horton bit which I left right open for you to do. Perhaps you should look at that link yourself so that you can at least pretend you know something, anything, other than being an ignorant tool.
The ad was accused by some as the Bush campaign race baiting (which was made by supporters, not his campaign org), others said looking at it as race baiting was racist itself. Dukakis was also harshly criticized for the releasing on work furlough of Horton in the first place and the rape and attempted murder he committed after.
Dukakis was also criticized - chided, really - about saying how he'd still be against the death penalty even if it was for someone murdering his wife. Crime and punishement, criticism enough for all. He did lose for a reason, and it wasn't CNN giving him preferential treatment.

Welcome to the news, that's what they do, report news, even if it isn't licking the smegma off a dictator's undersized knob, unlike state tv Fox.
Get your robotronic head out of Trump's fat trumping bunghole and stop being a Russbot. It's neither funny nor cute.

And have a little respect. Bush did just die, leave the vampirism for another day.

Presidential* bid

I'm not sure SPatoine was "using the death of Bush to attack Trump" as much as they were simply responding to your meme about said topic.

Fair enough.... Perhaps I shouldn't have made the meme

Dude, you put a trigger warning on it. It's a good meme.

I mentioned his son George W, not HW. "still alive".???
How is that using the death of Bush? You are pretending to know what people who don't think like you, are thinking. Very stupid because you don't know and have no clue.

Man.. first Trump bumps off McCain and now this!

If you can't figure this one out, then CNN owns you....

In a possibly related story-
A record number of people of any age exist.

guys it's clearly satire, not name calling lol

They attack CNN ... but watch Fox News. LMAO

Yeah, Fox has liberal scum like Juan Willliams, Shep Smith, Chris Wallace, Marie Harf, Jessica Tarlov etc., how many conservative voices get featured on CNN?

But the news isn't mentioning that, is it?

HW codename: Timber Wolf

Remember when Comey posted that his dog died and one of his deep state buddies responded "Did HW die?"

I'm not sure, please elaborate

I had the details mixed up. He posted his dog died and someone called him out by asking if HW died.
