Death of a President, which shows Mr Bush being shot dead, was sold for $1m (£535,000) to Newmarket Films.

The movie's subject matter has raised protests from conservatives in the US, and director Gabriel Range says he has received five or six death threats.

I don't think anyone would get the idea of assassinating Bush from this film."

Newmarket Films, which also distributed Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ, is expected to give the film a wide release in the US within the next few months.

1. All money is green.

It really shows you where their hearts and politics are.

2. Want to bet bringing the movie here is another election year tactic with

full knowledge the media will blame its existence on the left?

Every Democrat who gets in front of a mic will be asked on camera to denounce the film. It will get airtime from the news shows - hours and hours of airtime. Blaming the mentality of the left.

That does sound plausible - I'm thinking back to the hulabaloo over the Nazi flash animation in moveon.org's flash contest in 2004.
