Should Facebook remove groups that want to kill George W. Bush?
Washington Examiner ^ | 09-29-2009 | Charlie Spiering

Several groups on Facebook are dedicated to the demise of George W. Bush. Most of the dozen or so groups dedicated to killing him however, have only a few followers, but some of them have become quite popular.

For example there is a group named "We all Want To Kill George Bush" with 429 members, and LETS KILL BUSH WITH SHOES has 484 members.

The optimistic leader of the group "I bet that I can find 1000000 people who wanted to kill Bush" has fallen short with 518 members.

Why isn’t the US gov’t paying those nuts a visit? Threatening the life of a president or former president is a felony, isn’t it?

Oh-oh.

You are done for my friend. The SS is going to kick your door in and drag you to a re-education camp.

By the time you get back, the rainbow flag will be flying over your home and your kids will be singing the Obama song.

They should receive Nobel Prizes just as did Betty Williams, who also wanted to kill Bush.

There's another facebook group called "Obama Will Kill Us All".

The general consensus of both types of groups seems to be that liberals are sociopaths who will kill conservatives. Can't really argue with that.

How about if everybody gets a life, stops caring what other people think of them and stop using Facebook? It's a waste of bandwidth.

These are the same people who still think Paris Hilton is a celebrity and 9/11 was an inside job. In other words, they are out of touch with reality.

Hey nutjobs. . .Bush isn't President any more. Time to move on and get a life. He has.

Honestly, any Idiot who belongs to a "We want To Kill " group is certifiable and should be locked up protect society. I don't care which side of the aisle they come from.

Oh, please...That is so bogus and over the top...When the letists (National Socialists) took over Germany, they did not hurt any....maybe that is a bad example...How about Russia? The takeover by the leftists there was....ok, maybe that is not a good choice either...Certainly you must admit that Chinese leftists....nevermind.

Although this is definitely nutso territory, I'm a little surprised that there are still a few leftist loons who claim they want to 'kill Bush'. That's just so 2008.

Frankly, that kind of lunacy toward the former president was extremely obnoxious and I was always a bit disturbed that the Secret Service didn't put an end to it, promptly, but it was around for 8 years. The current 'kill Obama' tripe is equally offensive.

I disagree with everything Barack Hussein (can we use his middle name, now?) Obama stands for. I think he's a dangerous, leftist radial who should never have been elected - but I wouldn't want to see him harmed in any way. We don't need a leftist martyr and, from the prospective of one who was an adult at the time of the Kennedy assassination in 1963, we certainly don't need the kind of national trauma a presidential assassination would generate.

What we really need is an overwhelming Republican victory - by conservative Republicans that have a spine - in the 2010 congressional elections so that President Obama and his henchmen can be reined in from their attempts to destroy our great nation by usurping our freedoms via a destruction of the capitalist system - and our economy along with it, wildly intrusive policies i. e. health care 'reform' as well as a studied and risky ambivalence toward dangerous regimes i.e. Iran, that are rapidly developing nuclear weapons they're itching to use against their perceived enemies, almost guaranteeing a world conflict.

No, I want President Barack Hussein Obama to remain alive and well so America can finally see him as the radical leftist disaster he is - and so Obama can see his grand illusions to 're-make America' (into a socialist Utopia) come to nothing.
