Well, I can say that it sure is expected. I expected something like this to surface because of all the hype that the right throws out and the general public who think they're right follow up on. The only thing those people are, are puppets. For what its worth, as much as I do think its wrong and wouldn't want to see it...one of those loonies will succeed in assassinating him, one day. I hope not, but looking back over history...............

It's not a funny joke.. it's not right no matter what side of the isle you are on.. or who the target is. It's one thing to not agree with proposed bills and the like. To take this to the point you wish some one physical harm let alone death is crossing the line. Just my two cents.

Large portions of the general population are finally waking up to what's going on. It'll be an interesting autumn.

What exactly are they "waking up to? Assassination is an acceptable solution for a political figure you disagree with?

Yeah! You totally understood the meaning of my post!

They made a movie about how to assassinate Bush and who disavowed it.

No one.

To me, its fun to see the left settle in for a good cozy rest in the very bed they spent eight long years making.

If it werent for the fact that I think you will be pleased if he gets assassinated, I would argue with you regarding the film, ie its an english movie and it made less than 170,000$(so people didnt like it and disavowed it by not going to see it) and its not ABOUT how to assassinate bush, its the aftermath of a bush assassination, where cheney becomes pres.

As far as you crying about this "they did it first" tact, please... the Democrats spent eight years in complete dissent mode in almost every action taken by the Bush administration.

Now that the Republicans have taken to using that same plan, you find it distastful and complain about it but you cannot be bothered that the president was set prior.

When was that precedent set and who set it?

Remember a guy named Bill?

Well, since they both were federalists, doesn't that mean the republicans started the name calling?

I think it was pretty bipartisan. The Federalists and the (Democratic) Republicans each bashed the other side.

Careful, Kirata, it sounds like you've just been labeled a "moderate" republican. They throw those under the bus these days, you know...

Some dolt puts up a facebook poll. Eventually, they will recieve a visit from the local branch of the F.B.I.. As I recall, threatening the life of the POTUS either by mail, or by electronic media is considered a crime.

Does Sanity have an alibi?

Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech .

Actually, Kitten, not so much in this case. The Secret Service has a way of being very upfront when it comes to not giving a shit about civil rights. They don't have the luxury of being able to make mistakes. It is illegal to threaten the life of the President, and even a conversation about the subject can result in an afternoon spent with people who have had their sense of humor surgically removed.

Facebook seems to have done the right thing in pulling the "poll," and I hope our Mods here would have a similar approach.
