CHICAGO -- An artist's video game that is being exhibited at a free-speech exhibit in Chicago challenges players to kill the president.

The video game is part of a "confrontational art" exhibit by Chicago-based artist Wafaa Bilal.

In the 3-D game, "The Night of Bush Capturing; A Virtual Jihadi," players are sent on a mission to kill President George W. Bush.

Bilal, 42, said his art is a personal attempt to deal with the deaths of citizens in the country of his birth. The artist said his brother died in Iraq in 2004 from a U.S bomb.

The game is part of the Freedom of Speech exhibition at FLATFILE Galleries. It runs until Aug. 22.

Yet according to the scumbags of the democrat party, conservative radio is the real dangerous speech.

Of course any future game depicting another President, say a President Obama, would immediately be condemned & the inventors subject to immediate arrest........

Do we get to select which president??

Just kidding. I would expect nothing less from an "artist" (#1) named Wafaa Bhilal (#2).

What courage! What bravery! What nobility! He avenges his brother’s death by making a video game...What a laugh!

Tell ya what, jihad-boy, come back when you get big enough to hold a gun, and we’ll sort this thing out.

What? Am I supposed to feel sorry for this guy?

WTH is he doing here in the US in the first place?

He doesn’t add value to our country.

(Sure Dems think otherwise.)

"The game itself is not an act of terrorism," said one protester. "But it simply promotes it."

Was this person breathing on their own when they made this statement?

Mark Steyn had a nice bit back in Feb. on the left's fixation with artistic renditions of Bush assassinations.

Just don’t create a video game that makes fun of Obama’s ears. That’d be insensitive.

Question - Who was Wafaa Bilal’s brother affiliated with in Iraq before his death? Is there any information regarding whether his brother was fighting against American and/or coalition forces? Was he possibly a member of Saddam’s Bathist party? Was he assisting the insurgency? Bilal needs to answer these questions and give an account of his brother before I’ll have any sympathy regarding his brother’s death.

”I say deport him.

I say deport him and then depart him... (mid-sea preferably).

Are Americans really this suicidally insane? Terrorists, and terrorist enablers in our midst and we just say OK. We’ll just pretend you’re not here. Free speach after all. He’s just expressing himself. And now that he has excersized his free speech, anyone but a fool should realize that the act of enabling a terrorist is like the gardener that waters and tends a garden. In this case, he is growing terrorists.

The protesters suffer from AGS (American Guilt Syndrome) as well as GFWS (Guilt For Living Syndrome). This is a mental disorder which ultimately results in suicide. These people really do belong in a mental hospital or an assisted suicide facility. So many Americans still don’t get 9/11. They are still looking at it through the mindset of their ideology so they cannot see things for what they are. We are not only losing our ability to survive as a nation, we may lose our very existence in the process as Islam attempts to take over the world.
