    Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.

      I hated him with a passion every single day throughout his entire tenure. Hanging Chad’s?? I opposed the opportunistic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq so hard I was literally photographed by newspapers.

      Smug, self-righteous, and wrong in every way — you have a litmus test for humanity that smells like the mutual admiration society.

      I have literally been pepper sprayed my cops at protests against fascism since then.

      How dare you.

      Honestly, stranger in the internet, you have zero fucking idea.

        Hey, it’s not my fault you are castigating people for mocking George W. Bush. That’s what you’re doing and that’s how I dare.

          It’s a meme because it’s an iconic moment.

          It’s not a person. That’s the whole point of memes.

          Sorry to school you in this, but one again, you are wrong.

            I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.

                  And that’s pretty much the ancient schoolyard taunt, “I know you are but what am I?” Pretty sure we’re done here.

                Please explain what is offensive about mocking George W. Bush on 9/11. Why does that hurt you? All you can say is 9/11 made you an orphan. That sucks, but it doesn’t explain why you find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 when he did something extremely stupid and unhelpful is offensive to you. What he did (or rather didn’t do) is the thing that should be offensive to you.

                  I’ve already said this elsewhere but memes are not associated with the person, they are associated with the moment, concept, idea.

                  Fuck George Bush — he’s a fucking mass murderer.

                    Please present evidence that memes are not associated with the person. This sounds like something you just made up.
