'We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall..and pull the trigger'

developing story..

[smith288]

Do you think it's funny?

That joke isnt even original... I saw it with Hillary's name before Bush's.

[Armed Civilian]

Post #666 classic number, I warned you. It (graff008) was a wast of time.

[An.American.Expatriate]

yes I do -

it's just as funny as it was several years ago when Clinton was the subject.

Although it does loose some of the "punch" as then such a situation could have happened, now it can't (no Marine would EVER allow it and GWB would never contemplate it)

That's a retread! It was about clinton 4 yrs ago -- except that w/clinton, seems they collected a whole lot more gas...

[An.American.Expatriate]

I know, but needed to at least finish what I started . . .

[Momaw Nadon]

I'm curious, what punisment do you think that the Democratic assassin advertisers should get for posting an ad that says of Sec. Defense Donald Rumsfeld, "We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say 'This is one of our bad days,' and pull the trigger."?

What charge(s) and what penalty should the St. Petersburg Democratic Club and its officers face?

[Mudboy Slim]

I'm prepared to predict an '84-style landslide with coattails that will include 6 new Senators and 15-20 new House members...MUD

I understand, as far as the joke, I to have heard it with clinton and I agree with your assessment W would never think of it.

[Armed Civilian]

The punishment the rat's will dish ot on these tw wil be nothing short of a whack job. I called the Fla Dem party. The lady said that Ken was misguided.

[JulieRNR21]

ping people to my post #242 for what the publisher said about the ad.

Your FL Republican Party is very on top of things!

I just spoke with the Publisher of the newspaper:

Ken Reichart......727-321-6965


He says that the newspaper will be issuing an apology in the next issue. And that the St. Pete Dems will be apologizing as well.

I told him that the ad was irresponsible. And I reminded him that a mentally ill person tried to kill President Reagan over a movie star. I said that in he future the paper should show more responsibility in taking ads.

I told him the Ad 'reeked with hatred' and that I didn't think it would win the Dems any votes. He said he tended to agree.


KEEP CALLING THEM!

"I think we can to the 60+ magic number in the Senate..."

If everything goes perfect, it's conceivable...but Dubyuh's gotta energize his conservative base with some honest-to-goodness budget cuts and signs of fiscal conservatism!!
