Plenty of us did condmn that. You probably don't remember because it's inconvenient. Call it selective senility.

I'm wonder if you guys also went ape when liberals were making movies depicting the assassination of W.
No one disliked George W. Bush more than me, but I would never wish him dead or any ill will. I never want to see his face or hear his voice again, but that's not quite the same, is it?

Hi Green Gaia,

No one disliked George W. Bush more than me, but I would never wish him dead or any ill will. I never want to see his face or hear his voice again, but that's not quite the same, is it?

I actually think the people making movies depicting W's assassination (and the people who thought it was a cool idea) probably disliked W more than you.

What is up with this guy? This loony toons is using what he deems imprecatory prayer to hope god serves his vengeance down here on earth now to slay the most powerful man in the world.

It's disgusting, certainly. To ask G-d to kill someone is absolutely despicable.

Though, that film? Death of a President? It's speculative fiction. I don't see what's wrong with it. Just because the filmmakers made a film in which Bush was assassinated, doesn't mean they want Bush assassinated. I write stories with vampires torturing people with cigarettes for fun. Do you think that means I believe vampires actually exist? Do you think that this means I want to torture people with cigarettes, or want to be tortured with cigarettes?

Okay, just don't answer that if you think the affirmative, and let me preassure you I am neither sadistic nor masochistic :).

If I write a story including the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan having possibly been successful, is that offensive? I'm taking a what if scenario and writing afterward. What would happen IF Reagan had been assassinated? That doesn't mean I advocate the assassination of Ronald Reagan, or that I every would intend to do such a thing. I don't see how this is different, unless the filmmakers went out of their way to make it offensive.

I'm not really clear on why he wants Obama dead. Surely the world's full of far more nefaious scoundrels we could do without.
