Dumb show (UK's Guardian Cries Out for Bush Assassination)

The Guardian (UK) ^ | 10/23/04 | Charlie Brooker

[GeorgeBerryman]

From the article by Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker:

"On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

"It's in England. We have no jurisdiction over that Euroweenie rat's nest."

True, but sooner or later he will come visit this country and when he does, put him in the slammer.

Said it here before, and I'll say it again, The British newspaper, The Guardian is easily the most evil newspaper on the planet.
And I am speaking as someone who read it for over 10 years when I lived in Britain. They don't come any more evil than these guys.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

This person obviously has no sense of self-irony. Calling for the assasination of a POTUS, and in the same breath including himself in the "civilised world". Yeah, very "civilised".

This needs to get to the people of Ohio. They are already ticked with The Guardian for trying to influence the election. This will seal the deal for the President. ---

Great idea.

[RockinRight]

But, do they realize that if, God forbid, something happened to W that Cheney would be President? Certainly they don't like him any better!

[Alkhin]

But thats my point...everyone is blanket blaming the Brits when its Yanks in their ranks that are doing this! There are indeed Leftist Brits and I have no doubt the Guardian thinks this is too cute for words, but the last thing I would do is say that Britain in general agrees with this paper. They dont have the same media network that has developed here.

The mere fact that an American is guiding this newspaper should be cause for concern of the readers of the Guardian.

No surprise. He is gay.

I forwarded the article to the RNC. I found a USSS office in London for any English Freepers who would like to place a call.

It's time for a Virtual Tarring and Feathering of Charlie Brooker here on FR. This a##hole deserves nothing less. We need to get Registered working on this one.

[John Jorsett]

Must be taking a lesson from The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn:

[Hop A Long Cassidy]

This man needs to be flagged for no entry into the US. He's a danger to Americans who run for any office.

An official protest should be made to the British government and to the leftist paper itself. Their management obviously read this before it was published. Maybe flag the chief editor also.

OK, what are the urls of the Ohio papers?? I just sent the article to my friend who hosts Religion On The Line, at WABC radio NYC. His show is tomorrow morning.

[F16Fighter]

Will the Brits expedite this b@stard?

Mr. Brooker had better be careful when he starts up his car.

[tomnbeverly]

Sounds like a liberal...

[tsmith130]

I am speechless. I can't find anywhere on the site to e-mail them. This is the worst I have ever seen, even for the Guardian.
