Im going with politically incorrect, and find it a bit funny. But should I find it funny? Is the line between political incorrecness and tastless humor really this close?

I never understood this - why an elephant?

[shitar]

... I hope that was a joke response. However, I don't know why it's an elephant. 

[LGM]

It's the symbol for Rebublicans... Duh!

:-p

[scotch]

It is theoretically impossible for a photoshop containing president Bush to be amusing anymore, it doesn't matter how politically incorrect it is.
As for the elephant (the republican party symbol), I guess it is kind of an odd symbol for a political party, here is an explanation.

[Kinoko]

Oooh, thanks scotch!

Inaresin'!

No! It's not tasteless. It sheds(sp) some light towards the truth I say!
Politicall incorrect I think is what the world needs right now (USA, UK, etc...) and I know that some members here think the same...

[Mr Jake]

It sheds(sp) some light towards the truth I say!

I wouldn't say so.  But heck, I don't even live in America - so I can't formulate much of an opinion other than what the internet tell me and, you know, I wouldn't  want to jump on the hate bush bandwagon or anything.

Politicall incorrect I think is what the world needs right now.

I don't know about needs, but they certainly need to lighten up on the subject.
And no, the picture doesn't offend me or anything - nor is it particularly amusing.

... world needs right now (USA, UK, etc...)

Thanks for informing me of the USA and UK's status as part of the world.

Tasteless or not, the joke's been done to death. A friend of mine described jokes about the comparisons between Bush and Hitler as "shooting dead fish in a barrel with a bazooka". Search the web and you'll find oodles of the same material. Any lazy, generic internet comedian can make a "bush=hitler lol" joke. To really mock Bush requires more effort.

EDIT: In fact, screw that. Why bother mocking Bush? The man doesn't need anyone to mock him. He's a self-mocking man. Have you seen some of the shit he's done over the last 6 months? Harriet Miers for Supreme Court? Hahahahahaha, oh Bush, you jokester! Can't get fooled again, indeed!

See, many people were so bummed out after Bush won re-election. Not me. I have been laughing my arse off watching him fuck up again... and again... and again... and again... Fuck, I'd vote him in for a third term just for another four years of hilarity!

[Eggie]

Hey, look at that. bush's fuck-up has caused even MORE pointless deaths!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Bluke4x4]

Actually, I think Bush is the best president yet.










JUST KIDDING
...I almost got you there, didn't I?

[rharpe]

Our political system is rigged, no matter if it's a republican or democrat. It really doesn't matter who takes office: George Bush, John Kerry, Hilary Clinton, OJ Simpson, Micheal Jackson, and so on... the american people and other parts of the world are just screwed. As an American, I'm ashamed of many of the atrocities we cause ourselves internally, and those other countries we deal with externally.

We live in some really sad times... mainly because of the loss of faith and the denial of the one true God.

You're kidding right? Last time I checked, muslim extremists blowing themselves up for their one true God and christian fundamentalists banning evolution textbooks weren't exactly making the world a better place...

I believe he was referring to the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[Paper Carnival]

Well, it's good to see a christian american who thinks that about Bush and stuff. Most christian american people I've talked to are big Bush supporters. Not that I have anything against them, but I got tired of the "our Godly president is protecting our country" mindset.

Personally, I don't like Bush but I actually have a feeling that Kerry would be even worse - but that's for no particular reason, politics are just not my thing.

[lo_res_man]

As a candadian, I agree with the sentiment behind the joke, george bush is a idiot, but comparing him to a nazi IS rather tasteless, I personly like to consider my self a lleft wing christian, ,  but i have an agile mind and think debate produses the best results in the end,, ( I also think its great fun too) pushing ONE view i(lef or riight  ) in such a tasteless manner is silly, I dont like george bushes policys one  bit, but this is  just STUPID. but I 'm sure 98 1/2 oof u  disagreee with me, lets keep commenting and thinking and postin'

[m0ds]

Did you know its apparently now politically incorrect to say; "Ladies & gentlemen", you should now address an 'audience' with, "Hello, everyone" etc - because apparently ladies are the bitches of sirs or something and blah blah blah...

Political correctness pisses me off! Sooner or later everything is going to flip round and we won't be allowed to speak! And I also swear that one of these days there's going to be some kind of loop-hole which occurs through all this political correctness that makes it legal for people to kill each other, or makes terrorism legal or something.

I think it's tasteless. I think George Bush is an idiot (and a moron), but as I've said a few times on these forums (and in real life): he is nowhere near as bad as Hitler. Comparing them is stupid, not funny, because he IS a bad president, there is nothing funny about that. He's just dumb and not prepared to conduct anything other than electricity.

I'm liberal, but given the choice of Bush and Gore in 2000, I would've voted for Bush - Gore really looked like an asshole (there, the liberal mascot ) and he made sure everyone thought he was.

I tend to agree with those who say that Kerry would probably be just as bad, but that doesn't make Bush any better.

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

I honestly have no respect for someone who simply says "Bush sucks because he's hitler."  People who mindlessly insult any politician makes me think "shut up, and come back when you decide to make an argument". 

Wow... No, seriously, just wow... You know VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY little about communism, and the concept of it. Wow.

That's what someone said on the mmorpgmaker forums, on a discussion about communism.  That kind of comment is just plain stupid (especially when this comment was made to a short-tempered moderator).  A friend of mine (well, not really, he just sorta follows us and acts like an asshole) said this: "You know, steven, I think you could be a politician someday.  Yea, you should become the president.  I can imagine your inaguration speech: "I'm a republican, screw all the democrats!  I am evil!  Free guns to all convicted criminals!"  And this was during a serious political debate, which really angered me.

No, I'm not really that angry at this thing, it's just not funny or serious and thus shouldn't exist.  I hate Michael Moore type democrats who photoshop images to include a swastica(someone correct my spelling on that) instead of the american flag.


EDIT:DG, that was amusing... no matter what, there's no way anyone can find your post unfunny.

Explain how both Muslims and Christians can both have two different one true Gods.
