Dumb show (Guardian calls for assassination of US President)

The Gaurdian ^ | 10/24/04 | Charlie Brooker

John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

Wow, these people ned to shut up.

[cripplecreek]

I have a feeling that writer will be seeking a new job sometime soon. That kind of garbage will anger a lot of Brits as well as Americans.

[RockinRight]

But at least he's not a lying, sniggering, drink-driving, selfish, reckless, ignorant, dangerous, backward, drooling, twitching, blinking, mouse-faced little cheat.

Um...yeah he (Kerry) is.

[MNJohnnie]

You know the Kerry camp should probably get a hold of these people and say "Get off our side" This sort of mean spirited hysteria is doing MORE damage with the "squishy middle" then ALL the Bush ads combined.

Anyone remember the Wellstone Memorial from 2002? The 2004 Democrat Campaign is that taken nation wide. /p>

This was posted yesterday and everyone from the Secret Service to every British Consulate and Embassy has been notified that we are some kind of pissed..

[UltraKonservativen]

Booth and Oswald have joined the Guardian's heroes Stalin, Lenin, Mao, in HELL. Hinckley is in a nut-house similar to the Guardian's offices, waiting for his turn to go to hell.
The Guardian is proof positive that YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!

"This was posted yesterday and everyone from the Secret Service to every British Consulate and Embassy has been notified that we are some kind of pissed.."

Outstanding!!

"John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you"

I'd like to give this guy directions to where JW Booth & LH Oswald are right now.

Wonder if this Brooker fool should be placed on the do-not-
admit to the U.S. list, along with that other British genuis
Cat Stevens.

The author (Charlie Brooker) is a comedian. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. It's like Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire. Who Cares?

However, those who do care should be kind enough to let Charlie Brooker know.

Here's his address:

charlie.brooker@zeppotron.com.

Surely he'll welcome comments from Freepers.

Charlie, care to step out to the parking lot with me. BTW tell one of your chaps your blood type before we go. I hope your public health people have enough screws to put your jaws back together with. Wanker!

[catpuppy]

Dear Charlie,

Best not to take drugs and write.

Its time to take focus of the advertisers as well. Who's paying for this stuff on the web....who's paying the Guardian Unlimiteds bills...

21st.com
aarp.thehartford.com
americanexpress.com
Toyota
instantcarloan.coom
autospecialfinance.org
fundingway.com

I hope the Secret Service is paying these advertisers a visit. This is a clear call from these companys and sponsers to assasination of a US President.

[hershey]

Crackpots only need a suggestion from a celebrity and they'll act on it. That this article was printed at all is an outrage. Fox now talking about it.

[DSBull]

I don't take anything the British say about anything to seriously...but if anyone in this country did the same thing they would be guilty of a crime..imagine if you will some comedian saying someone should assassinate Toney Blair..I think you might hear a great outcry from the yellow-toothed British. This kind of thing, left or right should not be allowed, comedian or no.

Wonder if this Brooker fool should be placed on the do-not-

Cat Stevens.


He should be placed on the admit-one to solitary for life list alone with a few other waco instigators. What's the difference between the instigator and the mindless soul that carries out these threats.

Fox News discussing this Guardian article NOW

[QwertyKPH]

Brooker's comments will lead to some public comments from British Citizens too. Like the US, many British subjects live their lives as we do, mostly conservative and mostly self-reliant. They're bombarded with lefty news and opinion pieces disguised as news.

Just like we are.

Unfortunately, the public responses in Britain won't see the same level of coverage.

It's hard not to feel smugly superior to an ash hole like this.
