'Assassination' director deceived White House ('Death of a President')
WND ^ | September 12, 2006

Posted on 09/12/2006 5:18:32 PM PDT by IrishMike

The maker of a controversial movie that portrays President Bush as an assassination victim admits he hid his true intentions from White House officials in order to film footage of the commander in chief on a visit to Chicago.

Gabriel Range, the 32-year-old British director of "Death of a President," told the Los Angeles Times his crew received official White House press credentials by proving they were affiliated with Britain's Channel 4, which will air the film this fall.

Range, who filmed the president's arrival at the airport and his speech to the Economic Club of Chicago, spent six months in the city, where he filmed anti-war rallies and staged other rallies himself without attracting press attention, the Times said.

The film, which debuted Sunday night at the Toronto Film Festival, has been denounced for centering on the fictionalized death of a sitting president. .....

Actor Kevin Costner, who was in Toronto to premiere a film of his own, has come out in opposition to "Death of a President," saying Range failed to consider how Bush's family would react to scenes of the president being assassinated.

"It's awfully hard if you're his children, his wife, his mother, his dad; there's a certain thing we can't lose as human beings, which is empathy for maybe the hardest job in the world," Costner said, according to Contactmusic.com. "Whether we think it's being performed right or not we can't, like, wish ... or think that's even cute."

Leftists are maggots

Could not agree more . . .but it is strange. . .or perhaps not so strange; how words do fail to describe the lowest of the low. . .worst of the worst. . .

We struggle to find a name; a word. . .an adjective; a metaphor. . .whatever; to get us there. . but, in truth, am guessing there is no word perfect enough; to describe the 'perfect anti-thetical' . . .that these Dems embody. . .

Maggots. . .rats. . .animals (in truth, an insult to maggots. . .rats. . .). . .

Scum; pond-scum. . .low-life; no. . .we can get close. . .but we still cannot 'get there'. And perhaps that is a thing. . .

When did the left think anything out.

This is a wet dream, of the left because their impeachment fantasy will never happen.

The left only sees themselves out of power, everything else is secondary to them.

LOL!

Just got an Email from some maggot acquaintances. They accept your apology but say carrion isn't so bad and in fact with lots of horse radish, garlic and Texas Pete on it, it tastes just like chicken. Chicken, cut and run, Dems.

May have to reconsider, my just posted comment.

Not easy finding the 'right words' to describe these people. . .but have to say. . ."grabasstic piles of amphibian s'##t; raises the bar. . .as it takes us to a new low to meet the truth of these 'people'. . .

LOL

I also have heard they are good bait, but never tried them.
I do know that the stinkier the bait the better cat fish like it.

I honestly think that the whole idea of this movie is to stir up the nutcases out there that blindly hate Bush to the point where one of them will be incouraged to carry it out.

What is going to make this movie a success is that it panders to the number one fantasy of the sick Moveon type liberals, ie. Bush being assassinated. It allows them to live out their fantasy without actually pulling the trigger. No doubt it does it in a way that they would envision, with some "oppressed" minority seeking retribution for the wrong that's been committed against him, followed by senseless violence by the authorities perpetrated in an effort to catch non-existent co-conspirators.

Of course, we know that if Bush were assassinated, what would really happen is that there would be a huge liberal party, filled with wine and dancing.

The President will be fine, no leftist wants to deal with President Cheney.

Especially considering that Cheney could conceivably be President for almost 10 years.

According to most DUers and other assorted leftists, if the President is impeached or "removed", Kerry is automatically installed.

It's only "fair"!

Don't forget that Ahmed Shah Massoud was killed by men posing as journalists..with a bomb hidden in a video camera.

And I have a sneaking suspiscion that while Cheney would hate the job, he wouldn't have a problem coming down on leftists like a 400 lb gorilla.

"I'm worried , I'm old enough to remember the Kennedy Kill. I was in 3rd grade. It always stuck with me then, that for some reason American Presidents who were elected in years like 1960 - or 2000. always with a 0 at the end were the ones for some reason who were killed. You guy's will be able to answeer this better than me."


Here you go....

I'm very hopeful that GWB will beat this "curse"

But there seems to be those who are wanting the "curse" to come true.

And this movie prooves it.

It is thier fantasy.
