'We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall..and pull the trigger'

developing story..

[freeangel]

"peace party" and religion of pieces--just kissin cousins after all. No wonder they get along so well.

[GWB00]

Kerry will probably back-pedal from this issue,

John Kerry will call them legitimate voices like AlSadr, who by the way advocated the murder of US Military personnel. Do you think there is any connection betweern Al Sadr and the Florida Democrats?

[JulieRNR21]

They should at least post a retraction/apology on their website ASAP....that doesn't take a week, does it?

I shouldn't think it would but many papers are loathe to use the internet to communicate.

[Damocles]

I thought this was the "Ken Steinke" in question.

Relavent quote: "Ken Steinke stopped cutting himself this spring after he completed a counselling program to help him deal with bipolar disorder."

Made me chuckle...

OTOH..most papers don't make a habit of printing sonethign advocating the assassination of the SecDef...

[Brytani]

Kerry will say he supported the St. Petersburg Democrats Club before not supporting them.

[auggy]

It's been a while, since we have had an Arkanside.
I am sure alot of us, just thought the deaths surrounding Clinton were just coincidental, but I'll be honest, I am concerned about the lives of Rush Limbaugh and Rumsfeld, possibly Bush.

The Demons have what it takes to do this. Rush was talking about it today.

[Diogenesis]

Except for ONE thing. The Democrats are all above the Law

[Haymarket]

If someone did take a shot at Rumsfeld, would his lawyer tell the court: "The Democrats told him to do it"?

[ken5050]

You're disgusted with the Rats NOW?...Can you imagine what they're gonna be like after Bush wins?...They'll go totally bonkers....and W is gonna win, no doubt about it...

[Libertina]

Wow! A US political party calling for the assassination of a leader in the current ruling political party.....
The bigger queston is, will the Republicans also slip lower and continue to say and do nothing? Or will they (finally) act?

[Wolfstar]

We need to vote a straight Republican ballot and make sure everyone we know does the same. Our war will be political and we have to win in November.

Absolutely! Ever since 9/11 (and the anthrax attacks), we civilians have had a very important role, which is the ensure that no Clinton-type radical gets anywhere near the presidency. In many ways, Kerry will be worse than Clinton ever was, because unlike Clinton, Kerry is a true Leftist idealogue.

George W. Bush MUST be reelected so that we can all buy ourselves another precious four years to prosecute this war. People on the Right side of the political spectrum who just don't get this are, in my view, worse than Dems like these two freaks who paid for this vile ad.

[CyberAnt]

Wow! That's exactly what I believe too. My 91 yr old mom was a democrat all her life - she recently switched to repub because she said, "I don't recognize the democrat party today".

I'm listening to Rush - and he has revealed the name of the weekly rag - The Gabber. I think these people deserve at least a computer crashing FReep for even allowing such an ad to ever see the light of day. http://www.thegabber.com

Remember .. NO MEDIA OUTLET IS "REQUIRED" TO TAKE ANY AD FOR ANY THING THEY DEEM - INAPPROPRIATE, INACCURATE, SLANDEROUS, INFLAMMATORY, ETC. The very fact these people would even accept this ad shows partisanship similar to Alec Baldwin threatening on TV to murder Hyde and his family.

[afraidfortherepublic]

KEEP CALLING THEM!

I sent an email saying that I was appalled and that his paper and the group placing the ad should be prosecuted for sedition. That they should all apologize, at the very least.

[JulieRNR21]

OTOH..most papers don't make a habit of printing sonethign advocating the assassination of the SecDef...

I agree it should be done ASAP.....but it has been my experience that newspapers drag their feet in doing making any corrections or apologizing.....We prefer the internet for its speed & ability to reach so many....they don't appreciate that aspect.

[CyberAnt]

And .. it's similar to the Alec Baldwin TV threat of stoning to death Henry Hyde and his family.

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for posting your call with the idiot "editor". An apology simply isn't enough. An investigation by the state officials is warranted.

And the Kerry campaign should be FORCED to explain the situation and denounce it with full follow-up on all their forthcoming ads and appearances.

I just contacted the Secret Service in Tampa, the lady answered and said that an investigation has begun. I then informed her that the cow on the show the view also said that a wmd should be sent to the president. She took my number to call back. I had just turned on the tv when she said it. That cow was upset that idol was being moved.

[KevinDavis]

This election is to important to sit at home and not vote cause George Bush didn't do this or that..

[SquirrelKing]

Put some ice on it, Ken and Edna.
