"I love, love, LOVE George Bush"

[demgurl]

This not from KKKarl Rove but from an obviously insane person I met today. I had been talking, to an acquaintance, about when her brother would return from Iraq and I let her know that I would keep my fingers crossed for him. This other girl was around and there to help me do my job. After this conversation she chimed in about how much she loved *. She then said, "If Kerry had been elected I would have moved to Canada and figured out a plan on how to kill him." (!!!!!!!!) I ignored her and talked over her stating that if Kerry had been elected that things would be so much better now. She talked over me saying, once again, how she would have moved to Canada and figured out a way to kill Kerry.

I try to treat people with respect and I just let that go. I think she had to much Koolaid to drink anyway. I never would have changed her mind. I did not attack * or say that I think he should be killed. I would not lie like that, I think he should be impeached and arrested, not killed. He needs to face what he has done and death would not allow that.

I guess I am offended that what she said shows a lack of respect for me and my beliefs. I know she is just a college kid but she should at least know how to treat others with respect. I have the information to leave her in tears over her lover boy but I keep my mouth shut. I honestly feel it shows some sort of mental disorder that she repeated twice how she would have tried to work up a plan to kill Kerry. I am not trying to be mean. If you say something that drastic, and you seem to mean it, then there is cause for alarm. Of course, to support * at this point I suppose something would have to be wrong.

1. You might have reminded her

that threatening to kill anyone, especially a government official, is illegal. Ask her if she wants DHS to swoop in on her and take her away for a few months just to make sure she is not a terrorist.

[demgurl]

11. She would not believe it could happen to her.

Most of these folks do not even realize how bad it has become but I will talk to her mom. Maybe some wisdom comes with age and she can warn her daughter not to say such things - especially in front of about six witnesses!

[Mythsaje]

2. Sounds like someone the FBI needs to interrogate...

Just call 'em up and tell them that you heard her talking about wanting to kill a President.

People don't get a free ride for saying such things, in my opinion.

[TahitiNut]

3. "Our gain would've been Canada's loss. Perhaps such bad foreign relations could be blamed on Kerry."

:evilgrin:

[onethatcares]

4. hell, turn her in, let her see how much she likes * then

you can do it anonomously, use a pay phone and then sit back and watch the scene. As she's being led out of wherever, as if you should call the ACLU.

[demgurl]

31. She would never blame *.

I am sure she would find a way to blame the Dems. They all do.

[npincus]

5. what was she like before her lobotomy?

[Brigid]

19. Now that's a good one!

I gotta remember it! :rofl:

[karlrschneider]

6. It's a shame your job apparently doesn't employ cast iron frying pans which could be

appropriately utilized to smash her face in.
:eyes:

[demgurl]

13. Now, now....

violence is never the answer! (no, no frying pans!)

[Catherine Vincent]

7. You should have called the FBI on her.

She may not have been serious but that should teach her to stop bragging about killing someone.

[demgurl]

9. But I think she was serious.

If I didn't feel she was serious I would not be offended and I would not have compared her to a crazy person. Mental illness is no laughing matter. I don't know her name. This is the first time I have ever seen her. Her mom (whose name I can not recall) called me and volunteered to help me today. When her mom could not make it, this girl showed up for her. I had thought about talking to her mom but undoubtedly she gets her opinions from those close to her. I wonder if she had not heard her mom or dad say such stuff and she repeats it because she thinks it sounds cute. I can only hope that is it because if she means it then she need to get a lot of help.

[aquart]

16. Has she threatened a current candidate?

If she does, turn her in immediately.

[demgurl]

26. This was my first, and hopefully last, time I ever saw her.

I have seen her mother around, though, and I will impress upon her how bad a thing this is. I am in an awkward position since the school employs me but her mom is a parent at the school. I do not want them to think I am threatening them and then I get fired. I know what classroom the child is in and I will keep a watchful eye for the mother. I am not sure what exactly I will say but they have to be warned about what could happen.

[EST]

8. Repeat and reinforcement of post #1, above.

It is so bad and so strict that even a casual, offhand comment, reported to the wrong-or right-people, can get a person interrogated and locked up for hours, days, even weeks. And, unless and until there are more changes made by congress or some court cases brought so that the status of some laws is tested, it is conceivable that one stupid, even drunk, comment could get one in Gitmo for the duration.

Talk of assassination, even of congress people or previous presidential candidates, is dangerous and dumb. She really needs to know this.

[demgurl]

10. I will warn her mother about this.

You make good points. I had not quite thought about it in that light. Hopefully her mom will be able to talk some sense into her.

[onethatcares]

32. imagine, sitting around the dining table when your dad says,

"yeeehaw, we killed 359 Iraqi sumbitches today, and we outsourced the mail room to bangkok. I'll get a thirty dollar bonus for that one, and I won the office pool". "Aren't you glad we decided to bail out the bankers for giving loans to people that really couldn't pay them back", Mom, get me another piece of that fried chicken".

[demgurl]

37. I feel slimey just thinking about it.

Family values? Not a chance. No values is more like it.

[tabasco]

12. Where's Swamp Rat when you need him?

That pic of the Bush worshiping zombie would be perfect.

[demgurl]

14. She is who I first thought of when this girl went on.

If we had audio of that Bushbot talking, this is exactly what she would be saying. This girl had the same gleam in her eye that the one in Swamp Rat's picture does.

[aquart]

15. Ask her: You would have assassinated a President of the United States?

Elected by a majority of the citizens of the United States?

Ask her if she knows it's illegal to do that.

[demgurl]

27. I was trying to be non-confrontational.

There are so many thoughts going through my head but I was biting my tongue. The crazy thing is that there is a well known rethuglican (in these parts, anyway) who goes to my school. He knows I am a Democrat and I know about his slimy campaign ads. He and I jostle back and forth and tease each other. Neither one of us expects to get anywhere with the other but it is the only way I can get my little digs in and still keep my job.

The rethuglican was there later on and when he mentioned my D representative I told him (while sticking my tongue out) that the kids and I had gone downtown to the D's office to try and meet up with Cindy Sheehan and to make a point about how * needs to be impeached. He knows I get my digs in and regularly teases me about my bumper stickers. At the end of the last school year he even came in and AGREED that he wishes gas was back to $1.46. (Where it was when * took office) Anyway, right when I told him about the whole impeachment thing, the girl left without a word! Keep in mind that this guy is about as Republican as you can get and he even gave me one of HIS old bumper stickers when he ran. He was fine with us "fighting" back and forth but she walked out at the thought that I wanted to take down the great love of her life! How come he and I can get along and this chick and I can't? Why do some people need to be so disrespectful?

[Brigid]

17. If she really loved * so much . . .

she'd be over in Iraq and some lucky soldier could come home. :eyes:

Still too many Kool-Aid drinkers out there. :banghead:

[Bigmack]

18. "...just a college kid..."

You actually mean someone who is just the perfect age to serve in the Army or Marines?

I believe they have some openings just now. In fact, new jobs are opening up every day in those services.

She should show her love for Dumbya and join up. NOW!

She wants to kill.... shit.... give her a chance to try it out.

[demgurl]

28. I would usually say something like that.....

but I kind of like my job. My boss even called me today to say what a terrific job I am doing and how proud she is of me. We luckily do not need it for income but I do like the social interaction that goes with it. I have NEVER been fired from a job and would hate to start now. I need to be as nice as possible.

[Javaman]

20. No worries, when society goes to hell, she won't survive very long. :)

it's all good. lol

[Ilsa]

21. And these people think they are "good" people.

A person on a message board asked me why as a Chriatian I wouldn't want a Christian Theocracy in the US. Stupidest Q I've ever heard. But people like that think that since they heard the drivel at church, they must be right for spewing it.

There has been some really good brainwashing by the RR and Repubs over the last few decades.

[demgurl]

29. I agree.

Big time brainwashing. I can not believe how much 'good Christian folk' back up this man. He has told so many lies. He has killed people. (take your pick through death penalty or torture or bombings, etc....) He has cut funding to the poor. He refuses to let a bill go through that would help our poorest children. Just how someone can reconcile how crooked this man is, with their religion, is a mystery to me. To paraphrase Gandhi : I like your Christ. I do not like your pResident, he is unlike your Christ.

[DutchLiberal]

35. That question has been fascinating me for YEARS now. Do they even KNOW their own religion at all??

How much of the New Testament do they know? How much of Jesus' teachings do they know of? I'm not a Christian, but as Bill Maher said: I still believe the Jesus Christ from the Bible is a great role model. But do these 'super-christians' know that, too? Or are they only familiar with the Old Testament, which is -let's be honest- one big bloody massacre created by God? An eye for an eye, and that kinda stuff.

[demgurl]

38. One of my husband's best friends is a preacher.....

and he has repeatedly voted Republican because he is 'pro-life'. I send out emails expressing my point of view and in this past election I actually swayed him to vote Democratic because he saw the Republicans are NOT actually pro-life. If you can get them to sit down with an open mind and heart then you can present them with information that will change their minds and viewpoints for years to come. I wish all 'God fearing' people would open their minds and realize they are being duped by the party of 'family values'.

[DutchLiberal]

39. Republicans are 'pro-life' as long as it's about unborns. "But once you're born, you're on your own.

-George Carlin.

[demgurl]

41. Absolutely true....

and that is what I have pointed out in my private emails to my friends and family. I also pointed out how Christians have been called 'religious wackos' by the right. And I made sure everyone was aware that when they held a majority they never did outlaw abortion and that they couldn't do it and still keep it as a wedge issue to get folks out to the voting booths.

[DutchLiberal]

46. have you also pointed to the Republicans' hypocritical stance on gay marriage, while they...

keep getting caught with homosexual prostitutes? You literally can't keep up with all the sex scandals they're involved in. :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

22. She wouldn't have found any peace in Canada

She would probably move back to the States after getting an earful from every Canadian she met.

And uttering a death threat is a one-way ticket to deportation.

[Brigid]

23. Think Canada would be willing to take in . . .

a liberal pinko commie peacemonger? :evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

24. We prefer them

I myself come from a long line of liberal pinkos on my mom's side and commie peacemongers on my dad's!
:D

[Johonny]

25. If Kerry had been elected

She would have done nothing. Republicans are lazy. They don't sign up to fight the wars they start, they don't pay taxes for the programs they start, they don't take care of the excess children they other people to have, they almost certainly are going to move themselves from America to Canada (unless there sick and need medical care).

[demgurl]

30. After all the swiftboating they did....

to my candidate who was ten times better than theirs. (come on folks, at least Kerry went to war AND he got a medal for his actions. Show us *'s medal!)I am just really offended that some college kid is coming around with sound and fury acting like she knows so much and putting down, no threatening, a perfectly good human being. Our country would be so much better today if Kerry was President. All * can do is mess up everything he touches. Tell me how it could have been worse than this.

34. You don't want to know how many Americans I met on teh Internets who said they wanted to KILL

a Democrat/liberal.

I have often encountered angry Democrats/liberals talking bad about Republicans/conservatives, but almost always backed up by facts to justify that anger. I have seen them say pretty harsh, tough deserved words. But I have never, ever, seen the HATE, the sheer and all-absorbing HATE that I've seen with Bush-supporters and other conservatives who wish DEATH to Democrats/liberals.

Once, I met a person who said: "We, in the midwest, hate liberals more than we hate Al Qu'aida". And THAT'S what's wrong with America. :(

[demgurl]

40. I can't believe the ....

vitriol that some people spew. And I remember when * would boast that he was going to pull this country together as one but he turned out to be the decider who's the divider. So sad that they have brought our country to this.

[treestar]

36. Wonder why she assumes Canada would allow her to remain there

Too funny how Americans assume they can go to Canada - as a right winger, she's probably always whinging about undocumented immigrants to the U.S., but does it dawn on her at all that she might not qualify under Canada's laws? No, it is just assumed that Americans can go wherever they want to.

[MLFerrell]

42. She's college-aged?

Tell her to get her ass to Iraq if she loves * so much. Then maybe decent human beings like my brother wouldn't have to go back.

[demgurl]

44. I am sorry about your brother.

Life is truly unfair. I pray he makes it out of all of this alive.

[MLFerrell]

45. Well, I blame retards like your acquiantance for his being there.

She, and all those like her can fuck off and die for all I care.

That aside, thank you for your kind words.

[nadinbrzezinski]

43. Ah she needs to spend some time in country

with a rifle

So she can see the wonders of George first hand
