SIX YEARS into the Bush administration, are there any new lows to which the Bush-haters can sink?
George W. Bush has been smeared by the left with every insult imaginable. He has been called a segregationist who yearns to revive Jim Crow and compared ad nauseam to Adolf Hitler. His detractors have accused him of being financially entwined with Osama bin Laden. Of presiding over an American gulag. Of being a latter-day Mussolini. Howard Dean has proffered the ``interesting theory" that the Saudis tipped off Bush in advance about 9/11. One US senator (Ted Kennedy) has called the war in Iraq a ``fraud" that Bush ``cooked up in Texas" for political gain; another ( Vermont independent James Jeffords) has charged him with planning a war in Iran as a strategy to put his brother in the White House. Cindy Sheehan has called him a ``lying bastard," a ``filth spewer," an ``evil maniac," a ``fuehrer," and a ``terrorist" guilty of ``blatant genocide" -- and been rewarded for her invective with oceans of media attention.
What else can they say about Bush? That they want him killed?
They already say it.
On Air America, talk show host Randi Rhodes recommended doing to Bush what Michael Corleone, in ``The Godfather, Part II," does to his brother. ``Like Fredo," she said, ``somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw!" -- then imitated the sound of a gunshot. In the Guardian, a leading British daily, columnist Charlie Brooker issued a plea: ``John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. -- where are you now that we need you? (snip)Which brings us to ``Death of a President," a new movie about the assassination of George W. Bush.

"This is Bush-hatred as a snuff film. The fantasies it feeds are grotesque and obscene; to pander to such fantasies is to rip at boundary-markers that are indispensable to civilized society. That such a movie could not only be made but lionized at an international film festival is a mark not of sophistication, but of a sickness in modern life that should alarm conservatives and liberals alike."
This was in the Globe?
I suspect dear ol' Randi will be getting a visit from the US Secret Service over this one. Preferably around 2 am and preceded with a CS grenade.
Can they sink any lower?
Of course. Just wait.
"Path to 9-11" should be canceled and "Death to a President" an award winner per liberals, democrats and ex-presidents.
He's a very lonely man.
Mega Barf alert warning needed here.
The conversation turned to torture methods used on terrorists. Maher ended it by saying to Gregory (paraphrasing a bit here), "If it's so kosher, let's use it (the torture) on Bush."
Typical Stalinist Globe stuff.
I think this happened quite awhile back and nothing happened.
Like Rush says, the left has lost their sanity. The ironic thing is that Bussh's worst fault is his willingness to try to work with them only to be slapped in the face over and over.
I'm afraid if they win control of the Federal government, we'll have another civil war.
How long would it take them to define the 'real terrorist threat' as right wing 'militias' (the NRA)? To criminalize right-wing political speech as hate speech? To use the 'fairness' doctrine to squelch right-wing talk radio? To use the tax code and regulations to coerce the business class into supporting only the Democratic Party and to use the IRS to harass their political adversaries? To fill he military with left-wing JAG political commissars and to further demoralize it by giving our enemies a victory through plitics that they could not eran on the battlefield? To use the 'supremacy' clause of the Constitution to impose un-Constitutional restrictions on America via foreign treaties that concede our sovereignty to an unelected, trans-national elite?
The only way these measurs could be oposed would be for one or more state governments to take a stand and to refuse to obey and to arrest Federal officials attempting to enforce these measures. They would have to dare the Dems to call out the Army. It would get real ugly, real fast.
President Bush, for all of his strengths, sometimes has way too much of his father in him.
. . .their hatred is 'bottomless'. . .endless. . .forever nurtured by a timeless hate.
These people only source the noxious depths here.
We cannot but be both amazed and repulsed by what they come up with.
Indeed it was in the Globe, as was this letter to the editor. Even they have to acknowledge the other side
on occasion.

YOU PUBLISHED two letters Friday concerning the ``Path to 9/11" miniseries. Both authors seem to have had an advance reading of the script and have decided that ABC has somehow morphed into the media arm of the Republican Party. I would like to urge folks to actually see the movie before making such judgments.
For the Globe to publish not one but two of these letters is preposterous. The history of the rise of Islamic terrorism is far longer than the presidencies of George Bush or Bill Clinton .
To suggest that any mention of this is somehow a political hatchet job is intellectually dishonest at the least.
I would offer a suggestion often given to me when I complain about the content of some television programming. If the subject matter offends you, change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch.
Or is that advice only offered when it is my ox that is being gored?

Too bad we can't make snuff films about Clinton or Gore...
Unfortunately, until the bulk of America starts caring about something other than being first in line at the local breakfast bar, this sort of thing is going to continue and the left is going to get increasingly bolder until one day they will take control. Then ordering the execution of President Bush won't seem so far fetched.
The implosion of the left is history unfolding before our eyes.
Watch and learn what happens to those without a moral compass.
