Man Threatens President Bush
Springfield, MO. (AP) -- A southwest Missouri man is under federal grand jury indictment for allegedly threatening to kill President Bush.

Authorities claim 56-year-old Darrel Alford of Buffalo, Missouri, threatened to fly remote model-airplanes with explosives into an area where Bush would be speaking.

The U-S Attorney's Office in Springfield says the alleged threat was made on the fourth of this month. A spokesman has no other details.

Wasn't that pic on the back cover of The Nation a few weeks back? Love it! I thought it was funny that so many people wrote in and complained about it.

4. I would much rather everyone vote against *Co
and remove him/it from power.

That would be justice. Then I want him put on trial for war crimes and stripped of all assets to repay and rebuild what he has destroyed.

5. Killing Bush would benefit only the Neocons
Imagine Cheney sailing on the sympathy coat-tails...

9. Excellent point!
Kill Bush (wasn't that just a movie?), and you only get rid of one neocon. Vote him out, and you give the whole pack of them their walking papers.

12. The thought of Bush being gone permanently is Great...but
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 06:49 PM by Tight_rope
this is not the way to go. I'll leave it up to Mother Nature. She has a wonderful way of destroying creatures that get in her way. Just look at what happened to Reagan...years of pain and suffering.

18. Death is the easy way out. I say try him at the ICC for war crimes.
Make Bush stand trial before the entire world and answer to a jury of Afghanis and Iraqis why he sought war as an immediate solution, rather than as an absolute last resort. Humiliation would be far more destructive to Dubya than any other form of punishment imaginable.

Oh, and the same goes for Dick Cheney. That man so richly deserves the kick of justice right in the seat of his pants, even more than Bush.

24. That would put him in the Pantheon of murdered U.S. Presidents
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 09:56 PM by gtrump
It would be a travesty indeed if he joined their ranks.

It's not that McKinley and Garfield were so great, but they were most definitely superior statesmen to Bush on one count: they were both fluent in the English language.

25. I Don't Want * To Die....

I want him to live.

I want him to WATCH the Repugs lose the election in a fucking LANDSLIDE! I want him to crawl back to Texas like a whipped cur and wait for the lawyers!

I want him to sit in the dock in the Hague and HEAR the charges read against him

And I want his miserable illiterate ass in PRISON!

I want him to live EVERY day with the clang of metal in his fading ears. I want him to hear laughter and know it's at HIM. I want his hands to start shaking, his vision to dim, his bones to weaken...

I want him to live as long as REAGAN and in the SAME physical condition, but I want his MIND intact!

I want him to wake every morning into the cold lucidity of another day spend behind bars! I want him DISGRACED!

I want him to die of extreme old age BEHIND BARS! A common criminal, a killer, a sociopathic bastard whose only pleasure is giggling at the memories of all the animals and people who have DIED directly because of HIM

And I want him to meet EVERY asshole he as EVER duped, lied to, misled, injured or killed in the afterlife!

DO YOU HEAR ME, SHRUB?!?

FUCK YOU IN THE HEART! FUCK YOU IN THIS LIFE, FUCK YOU ON YOUR DEATHBED AND FUCK YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE!

FUCK YOU FOREVER!!! May you live MANY decades! Old, futile, withering, useless and helpless!
