Was anyone ever indicted for threatening to kill Bush?

No, that would have falled under, “Dissent is Patriotic” or possibly a theme for a Jerimiah Wright sermon.

Nope, it was “dissent” and “free speech” when Bush was in office so it was OK.

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".

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.
