#1 Well, I just sent this to HOMELAND SECURITY. Maybe they have a working agreement with Scotland Yard. Free speech is good. Veiled threats against an allied leader are not part of free speech.

#2 This is insane. What, exactly, is it that Bush has done that's got these people in such a screaming, dribbling panic?

So far, we have (with U.N. approval) removed the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and hunted down the Al-Qaeda fanatics it was harboring; put an end to the senseless, ineffectual farce of the U.N.'s attempts to disarm Saddam Hussein by going into Iraq and doing it ourselves; and have engineered a drastic stepping-up of law-enforcement efforts against Islamic terrorists and their enablers around the globe. And in the process of all this, we have adopted a policy which-- finally!-- absolutely INSISTS that these threats be dealt with.

And for this, Bush, and America, are hated with a fury I can't recall ever seeing before in any of my 55 years.

WHAT ARE THESE IDIOTS COMPLAINING ABOUT??????

#3 Dave D. This is my point. Hopefully enough people like me EMailed Homeland security as well as some of their own folks seeing this so they can contact Scotland Yard as I described above!

#4 How fucked is the Guardian? I believe this guy is their TV critic!
When Bush wins, I literally expect people like this heads to explode. They just physically and mentally won't be able to deal with it.

#5 tu3031 - Head explode? When "Team America II" comes out and they have a "London Newspaper Reporter" with an exploding head, you should contact the producers for royalties...

#6 The English are our kin. Pinko liberalism knows no boundaries, Al-Guardian is melting down as nor more or less that our fellow LLL.

I suggest they migrate on over to France or San Fran, at least they'll feel a bit better being among their fraternal cry-babies.

Stock up the valium!

#7 Holy shit!
This is not Al Guardian's first endorsement of a Bush assassination, but it is the most blatant.

To answer the future Gideon bait's critic's question, Oswald and Booth were both shot to death, Hinckley is still in the looney-bin, and two other Presidential assassins, Franco-phile Charles Guiteau and anarchist Leon Czolgosz, were hanged and electrocuted respectively.

Speaking of exploding heads, the local RC model shops might have the necessary tools, even at trans-Atlantic range.

#8 Dave D, they're complaining about American self-defense.

They wish they could join Iranian mullahcrats in shouting openly "Death To America!"

WHY????????????????????

You're a loonie, Dave. You're welcome, heh.

#13 Here's the deal Dave, when you mix wack-job liberal political nonsense, with soul crushing envy you get this sort of twisted bullshit!

The lefty Euro-freaks know for a fact that their paltry little contributions to the world scene are rarely noticed compared to the juggernaught that is the USA.

It's just a real shame for the right minded and decent Euro's who have to live amoungst them.

#14 Well, Dave, it is possible that Brooker, like many British chatterati, has investments in companies that profited under the oil for food scam, or in other Arab-run enterprises. In the UK, Arab investment and influence in business and finance are so pervasive that open opposition to Islamic objectives can carry a definite economic penalty. The same is true for scientists, artists, activist groups, and others who depend in one way or another on voluntary grants or donations.
The Brit-bigots are not violent lunatics, they are something much worse, opportunists and whores.

#15 I hear what you guys are saying, and I can't argue with any of it; but it's starting to seem more like some kind of mass mental illness or something. This is just plain NUTS.

#16 why? Because the Tranzi dream is in tatters, and if Bush wins reelection, any remaining hope of reviving it will end. That's why.

The Tranzies believe in Democracy, as long as the people answer correctly. But the people shouldn't actually get a choice; they should just confirm the wisdom of the enlightened elite. Democracy is a fine thing if it's just for show, but the voters shouldn't actually be permitted to control major decisions because they're stupid and ignorant and unenlightened.

Especially if they're American voters, who most unfortunately get to choose the man who will fill the most powerful elective office on the planet, and who somehow don't realize that they're supposed to take their cues from their betters, like British leftist writers.

#17 Lol! Nice bitch-slap, SDB! I, myself, have given up on being a good follower of elitist fashion - I just can't quite get the hang of it. I guess I'll just have to remain a poor dumb cowboy, and try to be the best cowboy I can be. Sigh.

#19 That makes sense to me, Steven. And here at home, I have a hunch the furor among the leftist cogniscenti is propelled mainly by the realization that Bush, if re-elected, may well get to appoint two or even three new Supreme Court justices-- and for them, that would (or could, anyway) be an utter disaster.

But they're not talking much about that, preferring instead to whip up their knuckle-dragging hoards with "Bush Lied!" rhetoric and such.

All I know is, I've never seen an election this ugly and hateful-- not even in 1968 or 1972. Back then, the violent leftists were well outside the mainstream; but today's Democrats seem to have internalized the sensibilities of the "Days of Rage" crowd.

I don't like this. I don't like it one damned bit, because it's starting to feel like a civil war is brewing.

#20 The LLL hate of LBJ in the 60s was something to behold, but the LLL is outdoing itself today with Bush. It is absolutely pathological, all consuming. Pretty soon they will become autoigniting and the greenhouse gasses will go through the roof!

#21 A side note: I think we've been making a big, BIG mistake over the last decade and a half, talking about how we've "defeated Communism". In fact, we have not: it's alive and well right here. Progressivism, in my opinion, is nothing more than Stalinist communism with a crudely-drawn smiley face painted over it; and every "progressive" is just another budding Pol Pot.

Here's Brooker's photo, for programming target recognition systems printing on toilet paper, dartboards, and pistol targets.

#27 Brooker bears an uncanny resemblance to Julius Streicher:

Same pointed chin, beady eyes, massive jawline, suspiciously non-Aryan nose (mother had Jewish patrons perhaps?).

#29 SDB, Its worse than that for the Left. If you look at the Left's position/arguments invariable they come down to 'We hold the moral high ground'. Post 9/11, its the Right that has been espousing positions that whatever you think about them from a pragmatic/utilitarian perspective, they are extremely difficult to argue against on moral grounds. Try and construct a moral argument for not removing Saddam.

This is why the Left has gone into such paroxisms. The moral underpining of their philosophy has been exposed as sand, and it isn't nice for the Left and in response they are lashing out at those who have caused it - personified in Bush.
