Was anyone ever indicted for threatening to kill Bush?
HA! What a dummy- he should have just made a movie about it.
No, that would have falled under, “Dissent is Patriotic” or possibly a theme for a Jerimiah Wright sermon.
But Chris Matthews can get away with insinuating such against Rush?
“Was anyone ever indicted for threatening to kill Bush?”
Nope, it was “dissent” and “free speech” when Bush was in office so it was OK.
Yeah, good thing nobody ever threatened President Bush’s life…oh wait.
Since it is a felony to threaten the life of the president, this no doubt happened quite a lot. Just to give one example, a man named Richard Humphreys was sentenced to three years in prison for making a "joke" about a "burning Bush".
And no ... I did not read the article.
Yes. Yes, they were. Some were even already in prison and thus not much of an immediate threat, just like this guy.

I’m sure there’s others, but I’m not in the mood for a lengthy bout of Googling.
Perhaps we could eliminate these threats by offering those already in jail a chance to renew their sentences periodically.
Of course, Chris Matthews isn’t President of the United States.
He must be attached to his 3 hots and a cot.
Oh wow...I haven’t seen some of those photos.
Give me a break....and he would have been eligible for parole when???
There's more...
