Dumb show (UK's Guardian Cries Out for Bush Assassination)

The Guardian (UK) ^ | 10/23/04 | Charlie Brooker

[GeorgeBerryman]

From the article by Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker:

"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?"

Hummm...But I'll bet he's for gun control.

[Dog]

Booker is in a world of trouble.

[Boundless]

This is the same newspaper that ran the goofy campaign for
its readers to write letters to Clark Co, OH, telling
people there to vote for Kerry.

This thread needs to have its URL posted in all future
threads about Guardian stories, so that readers have a
very clear idea about what this particular Pravda Press
outlet is all about.

This may also be a foreshadowing of what our own legacy
media may try to pull in the final days, if they think
they can turn the Kerry slide around.

Who is Charlie Booker

[dha]

Exactly. Liberals believe in killing that which is an inconvenience to them.

[SeaBiscuit]

Beyond the beyond, and certainly this guy's not talking about the "civilised world" that I would want to live in.

[joesnuffy]

Soros?

[norton]

Maybe he's just upset about the 'green teeth' comment?

[Matt32]

You know that if Bush's re-election makes the pansy "intellectual" European types cry and scream like this, he has to be doing something right.

[Paleo Conservative]

A law must have been broken just now. Please, lawyers for Bush and the GOP, don't just sweep this under the rug.

This is a British paper. I doubt the author will be allowed into the US or even on US flagged air carriers.

Our wonderful President Bush is so well protected he'll never be .... will not even say the word. Not only by humans but by a legion of angels. ;o)

[roadrunner96]

Apparently this is a rant forum, Dumb Show, but sheesh,

Just like the Pie Throwers, someone can burn books before they stoop to this lowdown lampoonery, and the Guardian ran it,

Unbelievable and we'd never do such to Tony Blair,

They always want us to stay out of Euro Politics, what a load of malarky, this sets me to steaming the rest of the day.

The Brits should never allow such, never ever have something like this in one of their prominent papers.

[TheConservator]

Like hell we don't. This guy should be put in jail.

[blakep]

Wishing death upon our president? Unbelieveable.

These people have no shame whatsoever. No shame at all.

Arrogant elitism. Nothing more, nothing less.

[fightu4it]

If Mr. Brooker keep talking like that, he might want to hire someone to watch his six!

"...Sod's law..."

What the heck is that?

[Alkhin]

PING PING PING

[Woogit]

I'm a lot more worried about the left wing communists in the skerry camp who think...oops...feel this way!

[kingattax]

low life maggot....spent his sorry life running from a dentist

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Dear God, this is unbelievable.
