I find this article very troubling. While it reflects the cynical wit of a left-wing brit, his call for the services of a Lee Harvey Oswald or John Wilkes Booth is beyond the pale. I hope that someone will call his hand on this.

Written by Charlie Brooker:

Quote:
On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

This is outrageous. There needs to be complaints filed with the British Embassy. Mad

Unbelievable.
Is the Guardian a print newspaper, or just online?

The Manchester Guardian is a far-left-wing print newspaper. It's the same bunch of fools that organized "Operation Clark County" to have clueless British socialists send missives to "undeclared" voters on the rolls in Clark County, Ohio.

That one backfired.

Hopefully, this idiot's name will be placed on the "no-fly" list, along with Yusuf Islam, and we'll never have to deal with him personally.

I'm simply dumbfounded. I don't know how many times I have been called a fascist, warmongering, Nazi, by Liberal Kerry Supporters because I back Bush in this War on terror.

Yet time and time again, it's the Kerry supporters who break into Bush Hq's around the country, Kerry supporters who resort to thuggery to prevent Bush supporters from doing their jobs, Kerry supporters who make false claims about a draft, stealing old folks money, and sending children off to die in a false war.

Now we see Kerry supporters in another country are calling for the assignation of a US President? Worse than that, a Journalist who has the ability to reach thousands of weak minded mush filled heads who will believe this tripe. However, these same numskulls will rally around Yasser Arafat as a sound Political leader and are demanding we give Nuclear Fuel Rods to Iran so they can power a nuclear facility in a country that is sitting on the Worlds 3rd or 4th known largest oil reserves?

Hmm, I'm not dumbfounded; I'm freaking DANG mad as hell!!! They might as well have said "hey Al Qaeda, go ahead and take him out, we will turn a blind eye while you strike." Disgusting, just utterly disgusting.

Is it not illegal to threaten the life of a leader of a country? They should be arrested! I wonder if the UK is going to do anything about it. That seemed like a vailed treat to me. Evil or Very Mad

Absolutely ridiculous article.

I've been sending this info to the variouis bloggers that I read. I hope they take it up and get it widespread.

This is outrageous. Just like all the violence that is occurring against Republican headquarters and people trying to vote.

The Leftist are in full stage projection. They accuse the Republicans of being Nazis when every action of the Left shows THEY ARE NAZIs.

God help this country if they steal the election.

That columnist who said that is seriously deranged, but it shows the pathological turn that leftwing thinking has taken in Europe. Partly I think it reflects fear. They've allowed a very sizeable radicalized Islamic group to get nestled into their towns and cities. They are afraid.

I don't write as well as some of you guys, but here is my e-mail to these jerks. Six have already bounced back.

Quote:
Charlie Brooker's piece suggesting an assassination of President Bush is totally unacceptable. Brooker is certainly no journalist. I cannot believe that your paper would tolerate such behavior from an employee. I don't know which of the following is true of Brooker. He is mentally unstable and crying out for help; he is going for a shock effect in a desperate effort to be read due to fact that he sucks as a reporter; he really is pimping for a hit man; he is an *******. How did this get by the editor? Since the story had to have approved by an editor, I feel it's safe to say that they too must be one of the previously mentioned. I choose *******.
