Webb: 'Should George Bush Get The Death Penalty? I Say Yes'

SEATTLE, WA (Talon News) -- The comments made by a liberal radio talk show host allegedly calling for the death of President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for "war crimes" have been confirmed by an audiotape of the original broadcast obtained exclusively by Talon News.

As Talon News first reported last Thursday, a listener to The Mike Webb Show, which airs from 10:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. on 710 AM KIRO in Seattle, Washington, said that Webb had "called for the death of President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld for 'war crimes.'"

Despite maintaining his innocence by claiming he never called for the death of the president or anyone because he is opposed to the death penalty, the audio copy of Webb's show proves otherwise.

During the 10:00 p.m. hour last Tuesday night, Webb was speaking in an angry tone regarding the Iraqi prison abuse story when he began his death penalty remarks against Bush.

"[The prison abuse in Iraq] is a war crime, committed by the president of the United States," Webb declared on his show. "And do you know what the punishment for that is? Death!"

After declaring Bush being guilty of committing a "war crime," Webb compared the president with death row convicts in Texas.

"So, I say if this man has committed a war crime, and they can prove it, let's let George Bush get the final justice that he has meted out as Governor of Texas, laughing at people who have been sent to the death chamber, let him face the death penalty for the war crime he has committed," Webb contended.

Declaring that administering the death penalty to the president "is constitutional," Webb included other Bush administration leaders in the list of those who "should get the death penalty," including Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney, because they are all "war criminals."

Webb went further with his comments by pointing to the Geneva Convention and affirming his belief that Bush should be put to death.

"If this is proven to be true, that he knew what was going on, it's a violation of the Geneva Convention," Webb stated. "When you commit a war crime, which is punishable by death."

Webb then asks his listeners a question and quickly answers it for himself.

"[S]hould George Bush get the death penalty? I say yes," Webb exclaimed.

Continuing his vilification of Talon News on his show's weblog, Webb personally attacks a Talon News reporter by labeling him "America's #2 Neo-Con-News-Hound."

Webb describes the Talon News reporter as a "GOP Buddy" with "little go-arounds with the Dems." Webb then concocts a story that the reporter grew up with liberal movie producer Michael Moore in Michigan.

Despite Webb's attempt to take the attention off of his apparent death threats against Bush, the outrage towards him and his statements continues to spread across the country.

As previously reported by Talon News, people who are concerned with Webb's comments should contact Entercom Communications Seattle Market Manager Kevin McCarthy at 206-726-7000 or KIRO General Manager Dave Pridemore.

Also, since many listeners to Webb's show have inquired about how to report comments made by Webb to the appropriate federal authorities, the Secret Service may be contacted by calling 202-406-5708 and the Federal Communications Commission can be reached at 888-835-5322.

A copy of the full audio broadcast of the May 18 edition of The Mike Webb Show may be obtained for one more week through Tempo IV, Inc. by calling 425-825-5544.

I think Mike Webb should serve some time for these hateful comments. He needs the opportunity to play "Who's the Mama" with some prison buddies....

FIRST OFF STERN IS AN IDIOT, And second mancow is a conservative or independant...He would never call for the death of the pres...

I agree with both of your comments. My point is that the FCC has fined both Stern, and to a lesser degree, Mancow for smutty talk in their broadcasts. My point: Sedition IS a LOT worse, and I don't hear anything being done about "capital presidential war crimes" liberal broadcasters.

I thought the left was against the death penalty. Well, for felons, murderers, rapists, terrorists..... So I guess they ARE against it.......for their own anyway.

I appreciate GOPUSA/TalonNews efforts to keep portraying Webb's true character and agenda. I will continue to help spread the information. I know other FReepers will too.

Mike Webb should place himself in the hands of Nick Berg's murderers. See how long he'd last.

Well, I mean you seem to be so eager for someone else to do it, that I thought you'd be willing to chip in to help someone out if they did so...

Bottom line is, I'm guessing you missed the point ;0)

"How come the liberals can publicly issue death threats like this and no consequences?"

I was just going to ask the same question? If I had said that I wouldn't be here typing away...I would just be taken away!
