Let me sum up in two words how the unhinged left copes with the threat of global jihad: "Kill Bush!"
On the fifth anniversary week of the Sept. 11 attacks, the anger of entertainment industry liberals and anti-war zealots is directed not at Islamic terrorists telling us to convert or die. Not at American al-Qaida operative Adam Gadahn smirking at our country's pain and praising the throat-slitting, children-incinerating hijackers as "strong-willed men."
No, their thoughts are not focused on killing jihadists. Their dreams lie with killing George W. Bush. The mainstreaming of presidential assassination chic is on.
In her new book, "Peace Mom," Cindy Sheehan confesses on page 29 that she has imagined going back in time and killing the infant George W. Bush to prevent the Iraq war. It's the moonbat version of pre-emption. Sheehan admits she has entertained this infanticidal fantasy "often." That ice-cream-and-coffee hunger strike is getting to her head.
Meanwhile, our friends in Canada celebrated the screening of a new kill-Bush fictional documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival. "Death of a President," a British mockudrama, is set in the fall of 2007 and looks back at the impact on America after President Bush is assassinated as he leaves the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. The 90-minute feature explores who could have planned the murder, with a Syrian-born man wrongly accused of the crime.
The movie director, Gabriel Range, produced a similar tinfoil-hat retrospective fake documentary about a terrorist strike that turns out to be an inside job wrongly blamed on a Saudi trader.
Range stalked the president to gather footage for the movie, according to the Los Angeles Times, and gained access to film Bush's arrival in Chicago earlier this year for a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago. He also filmed anti-war rallies, faked others and staged a 14-car presidential motorcade sequence with hundreds of extras posing as protesters shouting anti-war slogans. The film crew hid behind the acronym "DOAP," Range explained. "We called the film 'DOAP' and very few people ever asked us what it stood for. To those who did ask, we said it stood for 'Death of a President' and it was a fictional film, the small distinction being that the president wasn't exactly fictional."
Right. What are a few white lies when you are creating a murder-Bush masterpiece? Tastefully done, of course.
While blame-America Brits and Canadians munch their popcorn and soak in President Bush's fake blood on the silver screen, no one can top our own homegrown moonbats in their hatred of George W. Bush. Malachy McCourt – Green Party candidate for the New York governorship and brother of author Frank McCourt – earned "Hardball" loon Chris Matthews' praise for voicing his anti-Bush assassination fascination on national TV (thanks to NewsBusters.org for the tip-off):
Matthews: "Look, let me ask you this. Where are you on capital punishment?" Malachy McCourt: "Capital punishment? I think that if, if I've got to find that guy in Spain who indicted Pinochet and get him for war crimes, and I get him to do the same thing for Bush. And in that case, I would be for capital punishment. Otherwise, I am against it."
Matthews, at the close of the interview, guffawed: "Well, I had to tell you, I hereby make my stand, I like you already. Malachy McCourt, Green Party candidate."
Bloody Bush Derangement Syndrome isn't new. But Sept. 11 and the campaign season do seem to have exacerbated the symptoms. And the commercial success and social acceptability of "Kill Bush" literature, talk radio rhetoric and art on the left is on the rise. From Sarah Vowell's best-selling murder travelogue of assassinated Republican presidents, "Assassination Vacation," to Nicholson Baker's "Checkpoint," a novella conversation between two people about the advisability of assassinating Bush, to mock stamp art exhibits depicting Bush with a gun to his head, to anti-war placards featuring a decapitated Bush with blood dripping from his neck, acute BDS underscores the complete intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the Left in America and around the globe.
Jihadists are gunning for Bush, our troops and innocent civilians at home and abroad. But when it comes to how they would combat the true menaces to the West, all the kill-Bush crowd can shoot are blanks.
An interesting commentary on that comparison was made by Alexis de Tocqueville nearly two hundred years ago:
Mahommed professed to derive from Heaven, and he has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel, on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each other – beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone, besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, whilst the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods.One question would be whether "Radical Christianity" referred to is truly sticking to the gospel or not. It's important to note that de Tocqueville continued thus:
But in continuation of this branch of the subject, I find that in order for religions to maintain their authority, humanly speaking, in democratic ages, they must not only confine themselves strictly within the circle of spiritual matters: their power also depends very much on the nature of the belief they inculcate, on the external forms they assume, and on the obligations they impose.
I don'y see dems killing antone. They are merely trying to get someone to do it fo them.
To Rosie "Fat ugly mean-spirited dyke" O'Doofus, 'radical Christianity' is any type of Christianity which insists that:
1)Jesus is Lord,
2) He is the only begotten Son of G_d, the firstborn of heaven, who died on a cross for the sins of all mankind to save the souls of as many as would believe on His name and be saved, and
3) it is an unnatural lust, and a sin for her to 'lie down' with another woman, just as it is an abomination for a man to 'know' another man.
sorry rosie, but it's the truth - soft-pedaling or changing G_d's word - even for someone so important as you (/sarcasm) - is not an option the Heavenly Father gave us.
A.A.C.
"The Final Crusade has commenced; the Lord of Hosts is leading the way. Look! See! The Lord is a Warrior! The Lord is mighty in battle! He gives strength unto His people, He guards His own with His right hand! The Angel of the Lord encamps around about the ones who fear Him, and delivers them!"
Good to see you my FRiend.
Its not just ancient history; according to the loony left, it was not the jihadists who did it! I heard Charlie Sheen on an internet broadcast say that the Twin Towers were brought down by demolition. More and more of these fools are believing that in spite of irrefutable evidence to the contrary. So why wouldn't you hate the true perps (Bush administration, according to these lunatics) and align yourself with those who are fighting against them (the Muslims jihadists)? Understand the blind leap of irrational faith in The Conspiracy the moonbat lefties have taken and you fully understand Bush derangement at all of its despicable levels.
