"Does what it says on the tin. Democracy has failed, the time must surely have come for a world patriot to perform this act for the good of humanity. "

"You seem to be quite offended by this thread but don't seem to offer alternatives to mass murderers."

Etc. . .

[Gunrunner2]

The left-wing rag in London is at it again. They are hosting a thread calling for assasination. The fact that they let this thread continue speaks volumes about the supposed compassionate, luving, lind and tolerant left that tried to muck up our election.

Apparently The Guardian ran a simular thread a while back and got royally pasted for it.

[Gunrunner2]

"lind" = "kind". . .but you already knew that. . .

;-)

Come on over redcoats, we have a lot more guns and we've routed you twice before.

Maybe when the Muslims run you over, we really won't pay attention...

Admin Mods asleep at the switch again, over there?

[chainsaw]

That should get some attention from M-7 or what ever the brits call their FBI

[Gunrunner2]

Apparently so. . .but you know, they are probably union and therefore are expected to be asleep at the switch. . .anything more than that and they file a grievance and demand more pay.

From the same people who brought you all those worthless oil leaking cars.

[TomGuy]

Talk about dumb. Don't they realize that, if anything happened to GWB, then VP Cheney would become President.

[So much for their irrationality. The same will apply for a few radically leftist Dems who will soon be yelling for impeachment.]

[RandallFlagg]

Hmmm. Revealing.

I trust the feds have been alerted to keep an eye on this?

[Amalie]

Man, what a bunch of cry-babies...

[Woogit]

Pray for President Bush and Tony Blair...the devil is on the loose and has possessed may whacko's!

[Trainfish]

Give the Brits a break. They have to have something to occupy themselves with while they sit waitng for months to visit an emergency doctor.

I Contacted them to state that it was irresponsible to talk like that. Just thought you'd all like to know the impression here in Germany...not alll agree, but the majority, possibly!

A colleague stayed up to watch the German TV coverage of the election results last night. They interviewed several NYers. The message from NY streets was that this election was a catastrophe for America. There was a lot of hysterics and screaming, etc.
When interviewing the DC correspondent, they said that W. seemd to connect with the people because of his faith, and that he seemed to be carried by the "born-again" crowd. We both thought it was significant, because here in Germany they do not use that term. That correspondent was not noting any hysterics, but a peace or calm about the place. Hmmm!

Just thought you'd all like to know the reaction here. God bless all, and keep our president and America safe!

[RandallFlagg]

True, but when it comes to conspiring to do something like that, there should be no tolerance.

Wars have started that way.

[Gunrunner2]

I would hope so.

So did I. Anyone else who wishes can write them at userhelp@guardian.co.uk.

[MWS]

What the heck is a "world patriot"?

This type of world socialist lingo truly scares me.

[daviddennis]

It's gone now.

The first incident was much worse than a discussion thread - it was a column that was run through the normal vetting process and published in the paper.

[RandallFlagg]

I guess they heard us.
