Killing Bush: A filmmaker's ugly fantasy

The Ottawa Citizen ^ | September 2, 2006 | David Warren

There were people who loathed JFK too. Would Rod Liddle have bought a round for Lee Harvey Oswald? These people are so sick.

the left seem to have forgotten the difference between fiction and fact. Documentaries relate fact, 2007 is not here yet nor has President Bush been assonated, sounds like fiction to me. this will probably get the Oscar for best documentary this year. Mr. Moore will have to work harder next year.

Wow. Bttt.

>>Killing Bush would make Dick Cheney the NEW PRESIDENT?...
>>A liberal or RINOs worse nightmare..

Which would just about guarantee an incumbent President running for reelection, (and since there's less than half a term left) with two full terms ahead of him.
(To liberals:) Be afraid, be very afraid!

LoL.. So true.. The Moonbats have met the enemy and enemy IS THEM...

[Tzimisce]

I'm betting this is one of the guys who wouldn't show the Mohammed cartoons and protested Falwell's call to assassinate Hugo Chavez isn't he?

[DelphiUser]

Can you see presidential debates between Dick Dheney and hillary? Oh, that's a double size bag of popcorn event!

While I like Pres Bush very much, I don't know if this would be "Bad" for the country. Especially if it heats up the "war on terror".

[Tzimisce]

They should do a "DocuDrama" about an abortion sniper - or would that be "insensitive"?

Let me get this straight, are you saying that Bush's assassination wouldn't be bad for the United States?

This Englishman thinks he is analyzing the current status of things in America!! How would he know?? Guess he reads the New York Times. What a pathetic bunch these Europeans are.

Not a question to me but the answer IS...
Answer: NO it wouldn't be bad for the U.S., his family maybe, but the U.S.. NO..

He is only one man(Bush)..

1) Cheney would be President..
2) The democrats glee would be exposed as terrorist dupes..
3) And the face of the 2006 and 2008 elections would change immeasurably..

** Bush's assassination would throw cold water into the face of Americans that think, "WE ARE NOT AT WAR".. Kind of a hard way to make that happen but it would/could work.. Some democrats are insenitive but not all are.. Not only that but it would galvanize the republicans.. into a voting block..

I'm saying that Having Dick Cheney running as an incumbent in 08, with two eligible terms ahead of him, especially if the Dem's put up the beast, that would be good. I am in no way shape or form advocating, or approving of this movie, or of assassination. I like president Bush, and I fervently hope this does not happen, but I think the Dems will regret it if it does.

[Inspectorette]

you cannot use reason to get someone out of a position they did not use reason to reach in the first place.

I nominate this for "Quote of the Day".

[Covenantor]

"...Death of a President. It will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Sept. 10th.

So this will be reported in the MSM Sept 11.

Tells me all I need to know.

Dumb bastids

THAT is some really weird thinking.

[daybreakcoming]

Bush's assassination would throw cold water into the face of Americans that think, "WE ARE NOT AT WAR"..

No, I don't think so. They hate him so much as a person - they would think 'he deserved it' and would be apathetic to the short time remaining of a Pres Cheney's watch. Yes, even the moderate demos. Don't think the dnc doesn't already have their talking points prepared in the hope that this does happen.

dam*, I don't even like to talk about this - so no response is fine.

>>THAT is some really weird thinking.

Look at it this way: If some islamofacist assassinated the president, would we (as a country) be taking the WOT more seriously? (I think so) would the Dem's (particularly Hillary) have a snowballs chance against an incumbent Dick Cheney? (No) Would this save lives in the Future? (I believe it would)

I as a patriot would give my life to further the interests of my country. I believe President George W Bush feels the same way. (Not that giving you life is the goal, just if necessary) Would this "Clarity" be good for the country? I believe it would, so I have to say this would not be all bad, even though it would start with a terrible act, one that is difficult to even contemplate, but the liberals have pushed me to contemplate it and it really does not help them at all.

Think about this, if they bad mouth bush after an assassination, what will happen to them? (Answer, they lose the support of the older generation for whom the dead are sacred, think Wellstone memorial, but with more teeth init)

Can you imagine a movie based on the killing of the Clintons . Now you know the Mean Streak Media would be all over the producers crying Fowl . . .

Well, let's be careful.
It's easy to start sounding
like we're all Muslims


In my view we're morally superior to Muslims. A double standard is in order and completely justified. And I think the law too often protects those that we'd otherwise hang. We should rediscover the lost art of drawing the line.

Our founders would be surprised. A Constitution designed to provide a government respecting common values is now invoked to avoid all values.

Sorry for the rant. It really had nothing to do with your comment.
