Dear Charlie Brooker:
My gosh, man! Are you mad? Suggesting that someone assassinate President Bush?
The last paragraph of your article:
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?
I know you Europeans hate President Bush, but this goes WAY BEYOND the pale. Please print a retraction and an apology to President Bush and your readers for this horrible suggestion.
God bless President Bush.
Sincerely,
PS: I had the privilege of participating in the early voting process this last Monday 2 minutes after the polls opened. I voted for Bush for the FOURTH time: In 1994 and 1998 for Texas Governor and for President in 2000 and 2004.
I don't care what this idiot's credits are - he's advocating the death of MY PRESIDENT - and that makes me mad as hell. This is just the typical arrogance and elitist attitude.
The ULTRA LEFT's SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING - IS TO KILL PEOPLE!! while calling themselves the people of diversity and tolerance - GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!

If he wants to play games like that, then he needs the boot.....its the American Way!!
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!

Never mind the fanatics that want to kill, kill, kill in the name of their so-called god. Let them be, they say. How dare the Americans decide that we should be defended, they say. How dare the American soldier die for him, they say.
Well, Mr. Brooker, President Bush prays for the ignorant, too. How dare he, you would nonetheless wonder.
Brooker acts like a hardcore Democrat...who could use a slap upside the head with a pre-politically correct history book.
I just sent off a post to the Guardian suggesting to this moron he should get what he was advocating in his column. I wrote him that he was lucky we are an ocean apart. I hope the CIA, Interpol and FBI put the screws on this idiot.
I find it slightly puzzling that a nation founded through bloody revolution and so fond of forced regime change elsewhere in the world should find this idea so alien.
I'm not advocating the death of any individual, anywhere. However, as a method of political expression, it's fairly well established.
If any nation is prepared to participate in violent intervention in the affairs of another state, it must be prepared to accept the possibility that others may wish to visit the same upon them.
Please don't overly concern yourselves. Very few people here in England take the Guardian seriously.
I just got this.
Those asshole Brits.
