Let me sum up in two words how the unhinged left copes with the threat of global jihad: "Kill Bush!"
On the fifth anniversary week of the Sept. 11 attacks, the anger of entertainment industry liberals and anti-war zealots is directed not at Islamic terrorists telling us to convert or die. Not at American al-Qaida operative Adam Gadahn smirking at our country's pain and praising the throat-slitting, children-incinerating hijackers as "strong-willed men."
No, their thoughts are not focused on killing jihadists. Their dreams lie with killing George W. Bush. The mainstreaming of presidential assassination chic is on.
In her new book, "Peace Mom," Cindy Sheehan confesses on page 29 that she has imagined going back in time and killing the infant George W. Bush to prevent the Iraq war. It's the moonbat version of pre-emption. Sheehan admits she has entertained this infanticidal fantasy "often." That ice-cream-and-coffee hunger strike is getting to her head.
Meanwhile, our friends in Canada celebrated the screening of a new kill-Bush fictional documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival. "Death of a President," a British mockudrama, is set in the fall of 2007 and looks back at the impact on America after President Bush is assassinated as he leaves the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. The 90-minute feature explores who could have planned the murder, with a Syrian-born man wrongly accused of the crime.
The movie director, Gabriel Range, produced a similar tinfoil-hat retrospective fake documentary about a terrorist strike that turns out to be an inside job wrongly blamed on a Saudi trader.
Range stalked the president to gather footage for the movie, according to the Los Angeles Times, and gained access to film Bush's arrival in Chicago earlier this year for a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago. He also filmed anti-war rallies, faked others and staged a 14-car presidential motorcade sequence with hundreds of extras posing as protesters shouting anti-war slogans. The film crew hid behind the acronym "DOAP," Range explained. "We called the film 'DOAP' and very few people ever asked us what it stood for. To those who did ask, we said it stood for 'Death of a President' and it was a fictional film, the small distinction being that the president wasn't exactly fictional."
Right. What are a few white lies when you are creating a murder-Bush masterpiece? Tastefully done, of course.
While blame-America Brits and Canadians munch their popcorn and soak in President Bush's fake blood on the silver screen, no one can top our own homegrown moonbats in their hatred of George W. Bush. Malachy McCourt – Green Party candidate for the New York governorship and brother of author Frank McCourt – earned "Hardball" loon Chris Matthews' praise for voicing his anti-Bush assassination fascination on national TV (thanks to NewsBusters.org for the tip-off):
Matthews: "Look, let me ask you this. Where are you on capital punishment?" Malachy McCourt: "Capital punishment? I think that if, if I've got to find that guy in Spain who indicted Pinochet and get him for war crimes, and I get him to do the same thing for Bush. And in that case, I would be for capital punishment. Otherwise, I am against it."
Matthews, at the close of the interview, guffawed: "Well, I had to tell you, I hereby make my stand, I like you already. Malachy McCourt, Green Party candidate."
Bloody Bush Derangement Syndrome isn't new. But Sept. 11 and the campaign season do seem to have exacerbated the symptoms. And the commercial success and social acceptability of "Kill Bush" literature, talk radio rhetoric and art on the left is on the rise. From Sarah Vowell's best-selling murder travelogue of assassinated Republican presidents, "Assassination Vacation," to Nicholson Baker's "Checkpoint," a novella conversation between two people about the advisability of assassinating Bush, to mock stamp art exhibits depicting Bush with a gun to his head, to anti-war placards featuring a decapitated Bush with blood dripping from his neck, acute BDS underscores the complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the Left in America and around the globe.
Jihadists are gunning for Bush, our troops and innocent civilians at home and abroad. But when it comes to how they would combat the true menaces to the West, all the kill-Bush crowd can shoot are blanks.
Both the Leftists and the Jihadists have Sore Loser Derangement Syndrome.
The Jihadists have had it for over 50 years.
I'm currently reading a book, written in 1957, in which an expert had this to say about Islamic activism back then.
"That society has deteriorated to a point where violence is almost inevitable...pp. 158-59, Islam in Modern History, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Princeton University Press--tired of being overwhemed, have leapt with frantic sadistic joy to burn and kill.
The burning of Cairo, the assassination of Prime Ministers, the intimidating of Christians, the vehemence and hatred in their literature--all this is to be understood in terms of a people who have lost their way, whose heritage has proven unequal to modernity, whose leaders have been dishonest, whose ideals have failed.
In this aspect, the new [in 1957] Islamic upsurge is a force not to solve problems but to intoxicate those who cannot longer abide the failure to solve them.
I think the liberals and progressives -- the Left -- regard 9/11 as a huge inconvenience, in that it brought President Bush considerable support from the middle, and interrupted their singleminded pursuit of his political destruction.
Republicans and conservatives generally never regarded Jimmy Carter with such incredible loathing, however much they might have disagreed with his priorities (economic malaise, windfall profits taxes, environmental polymania, political correctness, ostentatious dogooderism) or faulted his style (micromanagement, sweaters, flipping off light switches in the White House, general informality, "hi to the Chief", his brother Billy and his choice of political associates like Bert Lance, Ham Jordan, and Judge Griffin Bell), didn't hate him the way the Moonbats do Bush 43.
Conservatives despised Slick Willy, and they were right and proportionate to do so -- what he did covered the White House in infamy, and his associates did the same (some of his staffers bragged about "breaking in" the White House by deliberately committing homosexual sodomy within its walls). Some conservatives even grew to hate Clinton because he was bad, he was evil, and yet he survived his scandals, most principally by working corruption of the electorate itself.
No bones about it, Bill Clinton was a legendarily wicked President, and he made bad policy on the side, some of it intended to work political corruption of the Civil Service, other of it intended to cover up very great crimes, even enormous crimes like treason (and in the process allowing a great tragedy to befall the nation because of his damned "Chinese wall").
But the Moonbats' hatred for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and now George W. Bush has always far exceeded in intensity, virulence, and purposiveness anything that the Right evinced for any of the Democratic presidents of the last 50 years except Clinton.
He has a permanent hatred of Ronald Reagan because the Big Boss Man made O'Neill look like the silly, ineffectual old drunken ass that he in fact was.
Reagan spoiled a lot of good times for little Chris.
Yes they are!!!

Amen and Amen!

Personally I think that the showing of this movie in the USA by anyone should be considered a traitorous act. Attempting to stir up enough hate to get some mentally ill deranged nut to actually attempt what the movie's agenda is.
IF THE dims WANT A REAL SHOOTING WAR WITH THE REPUBLICANS, they will find many Americans more than ready to ablige them. They DO NOT want to open that can of worms.One of the funniest things I ever read was on DU. Some of the Children In Black were keyboarding about insurrection. A saner poster observed that she didn't think this was an especially smart idea, as all her "freeper" neighbors were well armed and the most lethal thing in her house was the cat-discipline squirt bottle.

This is why the GOP, with all their faults, will continue to be the majority party. You do not give the keys to the asylum to the inmates
God Bless and protect President Bush!
AMEN!
“A large number of Bin Saud’s followers belong to the Wahabi sect, a form of Mohammedanism which bears, roughly speaking, the same relation to orthodox Islam as the most militant form of Calvinism would have borne to Rome in the fiercest times of the religious wars. The Wahabis profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others. They hold it is an article of duty, as well as faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and to make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahabi villages for simply appearing in the streets. It is a penal offense to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette, and as for the crime of alcohol, the most energetic supporter of the temperance cause in this country falls far behind them. Austere, intolerant, well-armed, and bloodthirsty, in their own regions the Wahabis are a distinct factor which must be taken into account, and they have been, and still are, very dangerous to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and to the whole institution of the pilgrimage, in which our Indian fellow-subjects are so deeply concerned."
Winston Churchill, Speech to the House of Commons, 14 June 1921
I agree Rose. This is terrible.

Great find!!
I'm still trying to find out if the Muslim candidate in MN, Ellison, won the Dem primary yesterday. There have been conflicting reports...the Rats are insane!
Hollywood actors opinions are completely irrelevant regarding politics, the War on terror,or anything else of substance for that matter, but this comment leaves me speechless!
Heard it on Rush. Sick of it!
Pulled a Jan...fixed it! LOL

Poor Rosie...she has no idea.
