Bush Accused of Anti-Semanticism
United States President George W. Bush is back in the proverbial crossfire after increasing accusations of being a card-carrying anti-Semantic, according to documents obtained by postdocme.net.
"Weâre not talking about the occasional dangling participle or split infinitive. Weâre talking about a man with a long history and proven track record of syntax abuse," said Abe Spellwright , a spokesmodel for the Anti-Syntax Defamation League, an organization that represents three retired English teachers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Allegations concerning Bushâs fierce anti-Semanticism hounded him throughout the 2000 presidential campaign and the early months of his administration. Afterwards, however, people just got used to it and started watching "Celebrity Boxing."
Meanwhile, Bush defenders maintain that opponents are misrepresenting the presidentâs unique Texas/Yale style of speech as anti-Semantic.
And, in his defense, Bush remarked: "Anyway, I'm so thankful, and so gracious â I'm gracious that my brother Jeb is concerned about the hemisphere as well."
