LONDON - A British television network plans to broadcast a dramatic, documentary-style film about a fictional assassination of U.S. President George W. Bush, the network’s head said Thursday.

The program uses actors and digital manipulation of real footage to show a fictional account of Bush being gunned down after delivering a speech in Chicago, Peter Dale, the head of More4, told a news conference.

“Death of a President,” also scheduled to be shown at the Toronto Film Festival in September, focuses on all those linked to the pretend crime — including nearby anti-war protesters, suspects, Secret Service guards and investigators, Dale said.

If such a thing really happened, how do you think the looney Left would react? They would either be fake or they'd publicly gloat. Personally, I think it would be time to declare open season on them and start a Civil War.

This is totally unacceptable to our president and our nation!

And which, pray tell, is the British network that has produced this gem? They have so many.

The looney tunes left crosses all international borders. I wonder what PM Blair's response is to this disgusting garbage.

Can you imagine what the outcry would be from the same people if someone had made a movie when Clinton was in office depicting his assassination? Whoever was involved in the project from the Director on down would have been portrayed as evil and they never would've found work again. Just shows the complete double standard that exists with the Drive By Media and the libs (although I think they are one in the same).

Over a cartoon.. no. Over this and all the rest.. yes.

The left would be celebrating if it really happened because then they have their extreme situation that "proves" the world hates America bad enough that a US President was killed. The left is desperate attention grabbing creeps with no message of their own except everything is everyone else's fault.

Libroids are not worth a civil war for the following reasons:
1. Liberals usually don't have guns, so the sport of hunting Liberals would be nil, Doonesbury's "Hunting Liberals" cartoon notwithstanding.
2. Wars are expensive.
3. Libroids sometimes have usefully skills. Why imitate Spain's 'expulsion'?


In light of the above, I suggest that Liberals not be allowed to vote, that their taxes be doubles, and that their retirement funds be taken to compensate the victims of their Liberal agenda.

That picture they have is disgusting. I feel like I want to throw up just looking at it. Maybe Civil War is the answer.

[Fawn]

Did you see Rush's movie idea for CLinton getting beheaded? It's on his page. I'd watch that movie.

Read the comments on the MSNBC message board. reads like DU!

“It’s a pointed political examination of what the war on terror did to the American body politic,” he said.


It's almost like they are writing history before it happens...assuming that everybody is against Bush's policies. Still not acknowledging that there should
be a war on terror. This stuff kinda scares me.
Almost like they want some loony to do exactly what
they are depicting in the documentary.

The looney left would gloat until they realized that Dick Cheney would then be President. Cheney would then appoint Newt Ginrich as V.P. thus sending the loons into complete insanity.

[newcthem]

How about a short movie of Hillery dying of a social disease which she caught from her late husband.........Wonder how the hell that one would go over?

[95Theses]

I understand that we're dealing with fiction here. Bad taste or not, fiction grants a lot of license.

However, in the interests of "equal time," More4 should be expected to screen a fictional account of Bill Clinton's 1994 killing by an enraged husband who finds him assaulting his wife.
Years later, President Bob Dole launches a covert strike on a radical Saudi sheik named Osama Bin Laden that kills him and cripples his nascent criminal organization, Al-Qaeda. Sept. 11, 2001 is just another day in New York City.

License cuts both ways (or at least it should).

I turned on MSNBC and idiot clown face Nora claimed that a decision was made not to show clips of the video but they sure was posting that picture pretty steadily. The keyword they use for cover up of this trash is "thought provoking".

[HarleyLady27]

This is the total height of the RATS intelligence....they can't think higher than this...

This is the most disgusting thing I have seen, and believe me in 62 years I thought I had seen it all, but the RATS have taken the cake on this one...

And if anyone pays for this showing is the lowest scum of the earth, lower than the slimy hag herself....

[tobyhill]

The left has gotten to this point where they don't care who becomes President because they HATE President Bush so much they could care less how he's out of office as long as he's out. Impeachment to assassination, that's the ticket for the left.

This is not art. This is just some filmaker's nocturnal emission.
