Bush Campaign Web Site Rejects Non-US Visitors

The official campaign web site for U.S. President George W. Bush appears to be rejecting visitors from most points outside the United States, while allowing access from U.S. locations.


Clicking on http://www.georgewbush.com/ from Germany shows this:

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.georgewbush.com/" on this server.



LOL.


Non-US-Citizens can use this anonymizer

Sorry GWB, the Internet is free

 

Use a proxy server. www.proxy4free.com

 

Or just use http://65.172.163.222/

 

HOW UGLY

I have never heard people in Germany had such an Idea:

Thousands have organized a walk of their neighborhoods to encourage their neighbors to vote for President Bush. Get started now by inviting your friends to your home to go knock on doors asking people to vote!

he, http://65.172.163.222/ works great

If You Dislike that site, just take a Look at:
http://georgewbush.org/

 

Appears the Bush camp security drones have blocked that easy access route. Oh well, it worked fine yesterday.

 

If only Bush could censor everything.... wouldn't the world look like a much better place?

 

Given 4 more years youll be amazed just how widely the censorship will be applied.

 

Oh lets hope we won't have four more years to find out.

 

What the hell is the point of this tho? With all the bs on that site, wouldn't it make more sense to have foreigners read it?

 

It's simply propaganda to keep the willfully ignorant and blind supporters smugly enveloped in their convictions. Lots of lengthy justifications and claims about supposed Bush admin achievements that havent actually achieved anything (or far worse have rolled back achievements previously made) so that they don't have to bother scrutinising extant sources to confirm the validity of the site's claims.

After all, the operative principle of this "reality based" administration has been "saying so makes it so". The site does indeed "say so" on a wide range of issues.

 

I knew that

But that's not the question I was asking.....There is almost no support at all for G.W.B. outside the US; wouldn't it make sense for his admin to keep these lies open to foreigners so that they might convert over to his side?

 

No, because outside the US the general public of most nations tend to be much more broadly educated (many knowing more about US history itself than most Americans) as well as broadly informed from a multiplicity of news sources the average American neither is likely to receive nor bother to take time to pursue in order to stay informed.

The US is largely an insular and isolated "island" for corporate media to inundate with heavily commercial-fed, sanitised and decontextualised misinformation (note how large a percentage rely on Fox News or even CNN for the bulk of their worldview). This is possible precisely because of the very geographic isolation that allowed us to develop into the superpower we have become. European, African, Asian, even Latin American nations do not have that same disconnect with neighbouring countries densely packed in aournd them and fostering constant interrelation.

If anything, the Bush camp has purposely sought to block outside scrutiny for the very fact that foreigners are more likely to immediately see through the lies. The effects of US foreign policy, for instance, are no mystery to those who feel its fallout away from US shores. Economic fallout is also quite acutely felt abroad.

 

That makes alotta sense, thanks

 

Let the sons of bitches try to censor shit. If we all become our own artists, creating our own art, how the fuck are they gonna censor that? I say don't worry. No one can take away your freedom, or give yourself freedom, for that matter, except yourself.

 

Tell that to the thousands languishing in indefinite detention (and torture) without charge or recourse to justice at the hands of our great "liberators" and "defenders of freedom".

 

A thought just occured to me.... if you can't access his server, you can't hack his site. He's probably afraid that every foreign programmer will be trying to disable his site to stop the evil propaganda....

 

here is a better site about george bush

http://www.georgewbush.org


Definitely more truthful

 

The fake troops in Bush's new ad





Bush TV ad pulled over doctored crowd scene

Stephen Brook, advertising correspondent
Friday October 29, 2004

George Bush's campaign team has been forced to pull a television advert after admitting a picture of the president addressing the troops in Iraq had been digitally enhanced. The election ad showed President Bush addressing the Republican National Convention before cutting to a photograph of a group of soldiers at a rally in New York.

But the liberal weblog, DailyKos, showed that the same faces appeared several times in several different places within the same crowd shot.

A spokesman for the Bush campaign said the original photograph had been altered because the president and his podium obscured part of the crowd of soldiers. The people who made the advert removed the image of Mr Bush, replacing him with duplicated images of soldiers.

Mr Bush's Democratic rivals lost no time in trying to gain political capital from the gaffe. "Now we know why this ad is named 'Whatever it Takes,' " John Kerry's campaign adviser, Joe Lockhart, told the Los Angeles Times.

"This administration has always had a problem telling the truth, from Iraq to jobs to healthcare. If they won't tell the truth in an ad, they won't tell the truth about anything else."

However, the Republicans defended the advertisement.

"What the photo shows is the president speaking to US military forces, American soldiers," Republican adviser Steve Schmidt told the Los Angeles Times. "The soldiers are all real."

The advertisement will be re-edited and screened on television ahead of polling day next Tuesday.

It is not the first time a manipulated image has caused controversy in the presidential campaign.

Earlier this year, a faked photograph showed Mr Kerry attending a protest rally against the Vietnam war with Jane Fonda, whose controversial visit to Vietnam in the 70s offended many Americans.

The photograph had been mocked up from two separate pictures.

maybe foreign countries have no access because there is no need for it.
