! ! The clip showing Bush being assasinated would appear to be short, and ! appears briefly at the start to give the film its context i.e. a post ! Bush, post 9/11 political landscape. The film would then appear to ! comment on this political landscape. How good or bad the film is, I ! don't know because I have not seen it, but then, neither have you.
No I haven't and I didn't represent that I did. Moreover, it doesn't matter how short the clip is---it simply reveals the lengths to which the left is going in imagining that for which they dream. ! ! I think you have delibertely and disingenuously mis-interpreted the ! intention of the film to make one of your long winded and pious rants ! about how the ills of the world are all down to the left, and that ! everyone on the left hates Bush etc etc. Yawn. It is also ! typical that ! you have not even seen the film, and yet are ranting about it already. ! Typical, but not in the least bit surprising. I was not ranting about the film per se. What I was commenting about (taking a step back from the particulars) was that this is hardly the first attempt by self-proclaimed culture experts to use the context of Bush's hypothetical assassination to make their political points. A novel, several cartoons, and now a full-blown movie, all fantasizing or otherwise hypothesizing his assassination to make a point about politics. I am suggesting this is unhealthy. YMMV, and obviously does. ! ! You are in serious danger of turning into a caricature like figure of ! fun like Michael. No one takes him seriously either. I point out what I think is a very unhealthy tendency I see in the "opposition" today to imagine Bush's assassination with alarming frequency, and this makes me a caricature? Please. Oh, and I suppose you are among the eminently qualified to judge once and for all who should and shouldn't be taken seriously? Chronic Leafe Syndrome strikes again. But I like you anyway, Dominic. At least you aren't as "thick" as that Buckland guy and can be reasoned with occasionally. ;-) - Bob ! ! Regards ! ! Dominic Burford BSc Hons MBCS CITP !

Between pull-the-finger president dolls and dream-fantasies about his ! assassination, I think the disrespect shown the man and the office has ! gone way out of bounds and off the charts.
