Aye, i think a large resounding FUCK YOU is what america has earned for itself.
Even so, FUCK BUSH is a very succinct representation of an increasing portion of american political thought. I think the fact that they didn't feel the need to contrive a bullet-point justification of the sentiment suggests a refreshing faith in the intelligence of their readers.
Most people, even if they don't agree, understand at least some of the impetus behind the sentiment of a phrase like "fuck bush". It isn't something that really needs elaboration. You could consider the phrase obscene, but in the context of the actions of the president and administration it references, the obscenity of "Fuck Bush" is really actually very trivial. It's like if somebody standing next to a mass grave pointed towards it and said, "This is fucked up." and the reaction of everyone else was, "Dude, you shouldn't swear, there are kids that might hear you." Never mind that there are kids in the fucking grave.
I would argue that if there were any justice in the world, the obscene member in the phrase "Fuck Bush" wouldn't be the word fuck.
