From the article by Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker:
"On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

The thought of that idiot not being permitted onto our beautiful country again is heartwarming. Just like that terrorist loving creep ex hippie singer.
If they didn't hate him, he'd be one of them.
Go W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, a statement of this kind-a threat against the President-is against the law here and could have severe repercussions,which it most likely will not have in this case. And freedom of speech neither guarantees a right to be heard nor a right to avoid dissent from that speech,nor freedom of responsibility from the reaction to that speech-yelling "fire" in a crowded theater,for example,or inciting violence.
From what I understand,Britain has much stricter libel laws and stricter controls on what can be said of public figures in the press.
Way to go! I sent it to local talk radio.

So, English Bob, we're down to poining out typos, huh? I suppose, however one spells the name, the a$$hole characterization didn't necessarily offend you.
I fart in your general direction.
Did you hear Ann Coulter on Sean Hannity's radio show Friday? She said it's time for conservatives to forget about playing nice and pick up a baseball bat. Milquetoast Hannity got flustered and wanted to change the subject.
Charlie, I've sen you before. Drunken sot, you're a soccer hooligan, a piece of decadent English slime masquerading as a human being. You're the guy who is always arrested after a soccer game (not FOOTBALL Genius!} for beating some innocent passerby to death in your drunken stupor. Sure, I know you! You're English! You have the IQ of low wattage appliance bulb, you've never used a deoderant in you entire miserable life, the only sex you've ever had was with your Dad. Oh yeah, I know you. You're a moron, a genetic mutant that should be kept in a zoo. Oh, wait, England is a ZOO!!!!!!
Start the week off with a Bang! Kick a Brit in the Nuts!
October 23, 2003 7:41 PM
I know it's been a long year waiting, but everyone can breathe the collective sighs of relief and joy because National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week is upon us! It's truly a great time and I, for one, am very happy that it is finally here. This morning I got up, strapped on my holiday boots and headed to work with a smile. Even as I sit here now I'm still sweating a little from all the holiday festivities. For those who do not already know, National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week is the third full week of October (starting on the third Monday of October) every year. It's a celebration of the worldwide resentment of the British and their history, not to mention their snooty accents, funny smells, and other general attributes. The week is punctuated nicely by National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Day, which occurs on the Friday of NKaBitNW. Of course, this is one of our nation's greatest and most patriotic holidays, however political correctness and soft-heartedness has often kept it out of the news. Here at Free Republic though, we celebrate this wonderful holiday to it's fullest. And that means content...
Last year, I promised that I would update all five days that week. I thought that this would be an idle threat when the week approached, but I actually managed to pull it off. With the help of three gracious guest writers, I was able to fill five whole days with updates, a frequency of content that had never even been dreamed of before. To top it off, I also held a National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week party on the Friday of that week, which was a great success. This year, I've again asked for guest writers to bail me out of my delirious boasts of content, four of them to be exact. Should they all come through, this should be a great week for internet content.
To start the week off I've written article that combines both my love for National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week and my love for football. Because of the general ignorance to NKaBitNW by the public, people often try to tell me that it's not real. Just today, someone at work was insisting that this was not an actual holiday. Oh, how I wished there was British blood in their veins, I would have brought home the argument with a resounding fury. But, alas, it was not to be. As a result of situations like this, I normally try to compose an article highlighting the glorious past of National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week so that I may shed some light on the time that is so often overlooked by the media and public at large.
I hope that this week will bring up the awareness level in the public as well as bring about a great celebration this Friday. Because of the success of last year, I've had requests to throw another successful party this year and I intend to deliver. And because this week promises to heat up even more as time progresses, I will finish off the first day with a wonderful image from years past:
Happy National Kick a Brit in the Nuts Week, everyone. See you tomorrow! And remember, Do Your Part, Kick a Brit!
You're really in good company here mate. Brit born in 1982? These people hate you and always will.
The way they keep talking, they sound like they are trying to egg someone on to do the deed. And they always claim to be for democracy, go figure!
These people? Who are you referring to?
This IS the last straw...your right...for me too...what are we gonna do it???
