Good. Those Leftists need to be taken into a dark, dank room and have some sense beaten into them. I'm tired of seeing Leftists get a pass when they threaten the life of my President.

I guess Drudge doesn't have the BOR tapes after all. (sigh)

Because the Leftists need a scapegoat to draw attention away from the Leftists who made the original call for assassins. That's just how the Leftist media works: can't take the heat for their own stupidity, so they finger Drudge, Fox News, and/or Free Republic as the "real" culprits.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Drudge was reporting the story because of how outrageous it was...(alerted to it by a Freeper I'm sure!)....not to boost circulation of the story.

Seems like this lawyer is more concerned about Drudge than he is about the Guardian article.

I smell a rat.

Apparently this attorney thinks that by Drudge displaying the Guardian assassination headline front and center, it's going to serve as a call to arms to various nutjobs out there...

So Matt Drudge reports the story and he is at fault for the contents of the Guardians story?

this guy , Charlie Brooker , should be permanently banned from ever entering the United States in the future . He needs to go on 'the list' . Maybe his editors at the Guardian as well.
There needs to be tangible consequences for outbursts like this . Here's a good place to start .

Answering media inquiries about his "mysterious bulge", President Bush identified it as "my spine."

He's great. Gotta have four more years.

I wonder if this is the Jack.Thompson who used to post here before he was banned (multiple times).

I think this may be the same lawyer as in the article:

I'm not sure what to make of it. Possibly he means well by wanting Drudge to pull the headline but is being a bit overzealous?

See my post (#14). Does this fit his MO?

Strange all the way around. At the end of the article they quote President Bush as saying the wire was his "spine." Wasn't that from Scrappleface?!

I like Drudge but I do think he edged a little too close to the "line" on this. It is like yelling fire in a movie theater. Drudge just did it as a surrogate for the bonehead who originated the idea. He will probably just get a explanation as to why this can be dangerous and maybe a warning

As long as Jack Thompson is on a jihad against people other than the numbskull who wrote the article and the Guardian, which originally published it, Thompson might as well turn in FR and all the other internet sites such as Powerline that linked to the Guardian story.
