Wait... didn’t some lefty nutjobs make a “fictional documentary” on President Bush getting assasinated, that was lauded by those elitist liberal artsy snobs?
It got some initial attention and notoriety, but nobody gives a flying fig now -- it's faded rapidly into the obscurity it so deserves.
I don’t know about that one. But this one is beyond the pale, IMO.
Here is the shorter version.

It is going viral at youtube.
In 3 hours, it has almost 2400 comments and 230,000 views.
I for one wish I had the opportunity to remind them of that. I don’t think assassination jokes about Obama (and I despise him) are cute, and I didn’t think that a whole movie devoted to the idea of Presdeint Bush being killed was funny either. the difference is, the Left is on a high horse of outrage about a few sentences re:Obama, but they ate it up when a whole movie forwarded the idea of a sitting President being killed. I wish I could throw that in their faces, though they’d do like they always do and either ignore it or make some hypocritical distinction.
I lost track of how many jokes public figures made about assassinating Pres. Bush as well as a few suggestions that weren’t jokes. How many were ever condemned? I mean loudly and clearly condemned in the press by people of consequence? None that I remember. This atmosphere is what comes when there are no consequences for actions.
Well, that issue is difference....it’s like the difference between black and white.
I really do not see the big deal about the comment this woman made.
For example, what if Keith Olbermann on MSNBC were to make a joke about the assassination of President Bush? I am sure that most conservatives would understand it just to be a joke also.
Nobody batted an eyelash when in February 2008, Nobel Peace Prize winner Doris Lessing said: [Obama]...”would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him.”
