I tried to reproduce the formatting from LGF as best I could using italics...I'm not enough of an HTML god to know how to do the blockquoting that Charles did.

This is not the first time that the NY Times has called for the assassination of the President. Hopefully the Secret Service are on the case.

The address was roundly criticized in some newspapers for overstepping the bounds separating church and state. But Lincoln was using God to debunk government-by-God.

Two appallingly false statements, back to back.

Sounds like the Secret Service needs to pay Dean E. Murphy a visit.
As much as most of us hated WJC I don't remember hearing anyone
advocate that he be removed the hard way.

That is one of my great fears, that the left's cyncial decision to turn against the war for purely political reasons and to use such way over the line rhetoric ("HE BETRAYED THIS COUNTRY!") will result in the attempted assassination of George W. Bush by one of the Kool Aid types like we see over at DU. They're even setting themselves up to morally defend it.

So like the NY Times to plagiarize....copying their opinion pieces from the Guardian.

So many liberal news outlets to destroy - and at least four years to do it.

If I were David Brooks or Safire, I'd make a high-profile resignation based on this. He can work anywhere he wants. I'm not sure why he would want to be associated with this trash.

The Secret Service will not do anything about an idiot journalist.

Check out the graphic, too: an elephant standing triumphantly over a donkey, with an asteroid or meteor heading straight at the elephant's head!

An act of God would not remove the president, it would be more likely an act of Satan whom the left worships sts

I wouldn't be outraged by this as it is a disingenuous article. The new dem. strategy is to create (as the columnist says) a 'schism within the ruling party."

Dems. will be pushing hard to create a wedge between the far right and moderate wings of the republican party. That's the only card they have left to play. Ignore them and they will go away.

More and more talk from the radical leftist fringe, which apparently now includes the NYT, is advocating violence. Numerous acts of vandalism, drive by shootings and burglaries plagued Republican offices during the election, not to mention the epidemic of political sign thefts. If we had an objective media, there might be a serious inquiry into just what the heck is going on in the dark recesses of the liberal mind. America was less than a century old when it had its first civil war-could it be happening again?

This is definitely a threat against the Prez. Where in the Sam Hill are the Secret Service? What are they doing about this?

The address was roundly criticized in some newspapers for overstepping the bounds separating church and state.

The address--unlike the Gettysburg Address--was recognized immediately as being an immortal contribution to the lexicon of American state documents, and this recognition was echoed throughout the world.

But Lincoln was using God to debunk government-by-God.

Good Lord, what rubbish. The parts in question are short enough to post, so let's just put 'em out and let sensible people decide for themselves:

Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

Some of those comments are really funny.

Bunch of jerks. If something happens to Bush then we get Cheney. After him comes Hastert, then the President of the Senate pro-tem, then all the cabinet members, or whatever the Constitutional succession is.

Why don't these people just give it up? Life's too short for this kind of bitterness and nonsense.
