What excuses did they give you? Told me they hadn't chartered the club that ran the ad and made it out to be no big deal.

I'd like to take them both to a 8x10 prison cell, and escort them there, where they are met by a 6'4", 320-pound guy who pops a mint, smiles and says, "My name is Spike, honey."

AG Ashcroft has received numerous death threats. He is below Rumsfeld in the order of succession and people have been investigated, and if memory serves me right, atleast 1 person is in jail for those threats. Ruins your "too far down the line" argument.

18 USC 871 requires next in line. Rumsfeld is not "next" - so that doesn't apply. Arguably 18 USC 115 does. However, I still think it is a tough case and not at all clear cut.

Ah, the Bill Lockyer classic.

Read post #405. I called Sen. teddy's office, I could hear the puckering of a certain sphincter muscle.

Uh, there's lots of legal repercussions. Just simply lots of them. :) Includes some jail time, fines, etc. Seems threats like these are taken very seriously indeed. I have the criminal code on it's way and will post it for you.

Umm...under what section of US law was that individual put in jail? Not 18 USC 871. That is where the "too far down the line" comes into play.

They lied. Further up the thread is a picture of the charter granted to the club by the democratic party.

18 USC 115? Or other sections? I don't think 18 USC 115 is directly applicable due to the intent requirement - though perhaps it is there, but the ad by itself is not enough.

The entire ad is a disgrace....but urging that Rumsfeld be put against a wall & a 'trigger pulled' jumps out as the most despicable!

I wish you would put the energy you have displayed here in defending the ad.....in the direction of making sure those who did it face the consequences.

Your defense of the ad and its content is disturbing. Might you be Edna McCall?

I mean, heck, speakers at the Young Democratic Conventions routinely call for assasinating GOP leadership...and no one cares.

Because you apparently attend them...I can say I have never been to one. You outted yourself Troll

I said it was only Rumsfeld because the law in this instance would only be a crime if it was the President or VP.

You are wrong. See previous post of Title 18 USC..

Just goes to show that these people aren't motivated or excited about Kerry. They are motivated by their HATRED of Bush. These who preach to everyone else about tolerance! These folks are pathetic!

See - to me calling Iraq a 'Vietnam' or saying Senator Edward Kennedy is correct (on anything) is much more despicable...

""We are getting raped" ??????????? "

What do you expect from liberals? After all, they are the ones that came up with the notion that ALL consensual sex by a woman, is indeed rape.

Rape is becoming as overused a topic as racism and Nazi. Sad considering the seriousness of actual rape, actual racism and Nazi atrocities.
