One can get an idea of just how far severe Bush Derangement Syndrome has spread in the MSM by reading this blog posted by Charles Feldman, a CNN correspondent from 1983 to 2004. Now freed from the constraints of pretending to be unbiased in public, Feldman lets his BDS hang out for all to see in The Feldman Blog edition of August 17, Hurricane Dean: God’s Wrath For President Bush?
Hurricane Dean, soon to be up graded to a full blown Category 5 hurricane, is taking aim at Texas…the state that gave us George W. Bush. In fact,this could be a second punishing blow to the Tex-assians. Flash flooding from Tropical Storm Erin has already swept away people in the San Antonio area.
While forecasters try to explain why mother nature seems bent on unleashing her fury on the Long Star state, the bigger question to ponder is–is this weather so foul ,God’s retribution for giving onto the world George W?? (Think that last line got me on some FBI/CIA watch list?)
It is something to seriously consider. The Bible is filled with accounts of divine retribution and if there is one thing God ought to be pissed about ,(or at least embarrased about) it’s Baby Bush….and maybe that the iPhone’s battery is all but impossible to replace when it wears out in a year or so.
Keeping with this religious theme…if it is true that man is created in God’s image, the thought that the almighty might look like George W is enough to convert someone to Satan.
Wow. Keep in mind this wasn't just some anonymous loon posting away on a leftwing blog. This far gone BDS post came from a CNN veteran of 21 years. Feldman is currently working as a reporter for KNX Newsradio in Los Angeles and as a contributor to Reuters. I suppose those two organizations are unconcerned about employing a biased moonbat unembarrassed about putting his over the edge BDS on public display.
Update 2007-08-20. What do you do when you are a journalist and you let your guard down with a blog posting claiming that Hurricane Dean was God's Wrath For President Bush? Why you later claim, heh-heh, that you were really joking all along and only meant to satirize Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell for statements made almost 6 years ago. Such was the lame excuse of former CNN reporter, Charles Feldman, in response to my exposure here on NewsBusters of his Bush Derangement Syndrome in Former CNN Reporter Suggests Hurricane Dean God's Wrath Against Bush that I posted yesterday. My point, of course, wasn't that Feldman really believed this but that we saw his unprofessional BDS bias on full display:
…if it is true that man is created in God’s image, the thought that the almighty might look like George W is enough to convert someone to Satan.
In case anyone out there doubts the severity of Feldman's BDS, I place into evidence this Feldman blog post from just earlier today:
Gonzales is the most dangerous Attorney General since the Watergate years—some may argue correctly, more so!-but he does, after all, represent ,perhaps, the most dangerous administration to have occupied the White House—-ever!
So what will Charles Feldman do now? Claim that he was just kidding about charging that this is the most dangerous administration to have ever occupied the White House? Sorry Charlie but your distinct lack of professionalism is showing clearly and I am sure it carries over into your "journalism."
p.s. I would think twice, Charlie, about ever visiting Texas again since the residents there might not take too kindly to your calling them "Tex-assians." But, hey, you were just joking! Right?
UPDATE: It seens that poor Charlie has gotten a bit upset over his exposure here on NewsBusters as someone less than balanced. Reading his latest screed is it any wonder why one might wonder as to the level of bias in his reporting both back when he worked for CNN and now for KNX Radio and as a contributor to Reuters? Apparently Charlie has stayed up late at night researching my writings. Nice to know you have been exposed to some quality satire, Charlie. And since I now know you read everything I write, may I recommend The Merry Month of May by James Jones? It is about the antics of liberal Americans in Paris who self-destruct.

August 18, 2007 - 21:53 ET by rbchaffeIf this hurricane is God's punishment for President Bush's actions, why is it not aimed at just him instead of all of Texas? I'm pretty sure not all San Antonioans vote Republican.
Furthermore, what about all previous hurricanes? Like those we had with a democrat president? What were those punishing?
What a moron you are, Chuck.

August 18, 2007 - 23:49 ET by Del DolemonteAfter the previous object of their "tolerance" slithered away in disgrace (that would be Tricky Dick), they gave us Jimmuh Carter in 1976.
And since he's the one really to blame for the rise of Islamic derangement syndrome against the US in the past 30 years (by letting it happen in the first place), you would want to think they would distance themselves from such an image. Fat chance. He lost my Mom, a lifelong Democrat, when he let Michael Moore sit next to him at the convention.

Love Liberal Bloggers
August 19, 2007 - 02:35 ET by Lame CherryWhenever I see liberal bloggers quoting God, here am I always amused in pondering that what all of us do is recorded in the Books which are opened for those not accepting redemption back into the family of God, by the Creator Who became Jesus.
Most people never realize that it had to be Jesus, not Angels, not even a person........but Jesus is the One as He made us and is responsible for the creation the Father willed.
What that has to do with liberals is the hatred for George Bush and the continuous mocking of God. They never realize that Katrina actually only destroyed the debauchery sections which were democratic and the hurricane which was almost on Houston, God simply dissapated it. God does allot of loving things with storms in wiping out things not good for people and showing He is more powerful than hurricanes.
A liberal never sees that, because the Love of God, or Jesus is not in them. Interestingly, this foul mouthed liberal says not one word of worry for the people of the islands about to be struck. All they have is hate and thinking it is all a joke.
That is why I get amused at these liberals tripping over God as when judgment does come it is going to be wonderful to see their hypocrisy exposed by Jesus..........things like, "Charles you were calling my Texans foul names and never bothered with one prayer for the people of Jamaica.....they could have used your help..."
About 50,000 examples should get the point across as Charles comes back with, "But I worked for CNN and I was an important man........."
God bless you Charles Feldman, because in some ways George Bush is probably prayed for you and your reporter kind as all you did was hate him.

August 19, 2007 - 03:46 ET by OIFveteranThey never realize that Katrina actually
only destroyed the debauchery sections which were democratic and the
hurricane which was almost on Houston, God simply dissapated it. God
does allot of loving things with storms in wiping out things not good
for people and showing He is more powerful than hurricanes.
This kind of moral agitrop is beyond the pale. Your all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful (AKALAP) god decides to kill people in nursing homes (because of the rampant debauchery located within) with a hurricane. If your AKALAPgod was so intent on killing the hethens, couldn't it have done it in a way that didn't kill the elderly and infirmed? Some AKALAP god you have there.
I'm going to assume that when you refer to "the
hurricane which was almost on Houston" you were referring to Hurricane Rita. Downtown Houston is more than 20 miles from Galveston Bay. Are you seriously suggesting that the people who live in towns like in towns like Bacliff, La Porte, and Seabrook are filled with more debauchery than Houston, which has one of the highest crime rates in the nation?
How is the weather way up there on your moral high horse? Ignorant, borderline hate-filled comments like the one you just made is one of the reasons Lefties laugh at you and people like you. To say that god is a murderer of heathens is Old Testament thinking, yet you refer to JC in your post. JC's philosophy and the OT don't exactly jive well together.
Worst of all you are claiming that you know the will of god. You are no worse than this reporter. He says Dean is god's punishment for Bush, yet you say Katrina was god's punishment for debauchary in NO. Both statements are rife with the arrogance that comes with a moral certitude that is derived from hatred of others, whether it be through the others actions or ideas.

August 19, 2007 - 11:01 ET by bassndudeOIF, me thinks you miss the point of Lames post. Where you concentrate on the aspect of Gods will, and by the way, your disdain of God is evident in your post, Cherry is merely refering to the "moral high horse" that Feldman climbed on. First off, San Antonio floods at the drop of a hat. Floods every year, hurricane or not. For one to claim that a storm of any kind is Gods revenge for the birth of one human being, is simply stupid. Not ignorant, but stupidity on their part. God dosent work like that. He put the Universe here, set the laws of physics and established the weather patterns. What Feldman fails to understand is, if God created storms as revenge for the birth of one man, then the US would have been destroyed in 1976, when Jimmy boy took office.

Funny how liberals only mention God's wrath in conjunction with what conservatives are doing and not what liberals are doing. How outraged are they when someone suggests STDs of all sorts are God's punishment for sexual sins? They quickly throw the Bible away when it clearly condemns the behavior they want to engage in and then even go on to say 'God made me this way' when clearly He did not. But the hypocrisy continues.

August 19, 2007 - 08:37 ET by ThisnThatI noticed the same thing, allanf. What is Feldman going to say now? He had said: "While forecasters try to explain why mother nature seems bent on unleashing her fury on the Long Star state, the bigger question to ponder is–is this weather so foul ,God’s retribution for giving onto the world George W?? "
He now has to eat his words. After putting all the blame on the President; Feldman now has to admit that God loves Bush so much, that He has diverted the hurrican for one purpose only -- to show his deep and undying love and respect for the President of the United States.
Feldman -- may I be the first to receive your revised article? Looking forward to seeing it.

No G-d there ... but G-d is stearing the hurricane to Texas to get back at Bush.
Also, instead of listing the history of Texas hurricanes, and listing who was POTUS during that time, here is a link, and you can figure out who was in The White House at the time.

that's what being a liberal is all about.
