Quote:The drama takes the form of a fictional documentary looking back at the assassination of Mr Bush in October 2007, after he has delivered a speech to business leaders in Chicago. When Mr Bush arrives in the city he is confronted by a massive demonstration against the Iraq war and is gunned down by a sniper as he leaves the venue. The hunt for Mr Bush's killer focuses on a Syrian-born man, Jamal Abu Zikri. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1862190,00.html

Quote:Theo Van Gogh's death taught them not to make snuff films about Islamic leaders. Those folks don't take even the most vague or 'sophisticated' criticisms very well at all.
Quote:Then again, Matt Stone and Trey Parker didn't show any fear in the making of Team America!
Quote:I believe this crosses the line of 'responsible' free speech,and that if the writers/ directors of this movie step foot in the US, they should be detained.

Quote: Bush assassination movie gets U.S. deal ...Gabriel Range, the British producer/director/creator of "Death of a President," the fictional documentary that sight unseen became one of the most talked-about movies of the Toronto Film Festival, has sold U.S. distribution rights to Newmarket Films, which handled Mel Gibson's equally provocative movie "The Passion of the Christ"...

Quote:Originally posted by dreamtrove: Auraptor, So you want our president to be shot? I think most people who think about shooting our current president (I estimate there are probably one million actively planning it at the moment) - do not think of the consequences of their actions. Think of how this govt. in a bipartisan way exploited 9-11 to dismantle an institution I used to call america. Now think of what this govt., not any other govt. like the kennedy or lincoln govt, would handle an assassination. It would probably institute gun control. Its worth speculating. I think that the only thing in between a bullet and bush is a billion dollars worth of security. He's already had at least one assassination attempt that we know of. The film would undoubtedly decrease the chances of bush being assassinated, not increase it. But maybe you've thought through to the next level. If bush were assassinated, then cheney could run for reelection in 2008, whereas cheney could never win an open gop primary. So maybe assassinating bush is just what a very pro bush person might do.

Did I ever offer any opinion of a film depicting the murder of ANY 'world leader' ? No, I did not. ( Kim Jong Il didn't 'die' in the movie 'Team America, did he ? I can't remember. But those puppets were pretty damn funny. I'll give them that. )

Quote: Yes, Kim Jong Il did die in the movie. So, that makes me two for three. And you're a Republican. Presenting false info as fact is pretty much all you're good at. Burn! Three for Three! :)

You shouldn't restrict the right to free speech just because you find a film offensive. And, yeah, I do find this a bit er, unsavory; but I do realize that it's a work of fiction, and just because I don't care to see it doesn't mean that people who are interested in it shouldn't be able to see it. No, not a liberal...except when it comes to civil liberties. Actually, I take that back, I am a little bit liberal...so, I do have a bit of a bias. However, speaking from a strictly legal sense, there's nothing wrong with this movie.

Quote:No, selective memory is what Democrats are good at, eg. Mrs Clinton 'forgetting' about the Rose Law Firm billing records which were in her private WH office for over 2 years, while she had 'no idea' where they were. Despite the fact that those files were subpoened. And her fingerprints were all over them as well. Oops. Some world leaders are better than others. Small, pot bellied dictators from N.Korea are fair game. Sitting US Presidents aren't.

The dinner was canceled. Additionally, the Bush family and Hinckley family are related, both having descended from Thomas Hinckley (born 19 Mar 1619, Hawkhurst, Kent, England; died 25 Apr 1706, Barnstable, MA) who was Governor of Plymouth Colony from 1658-1681." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Bush

Quote:Auraptor, first off, no way. Us presidents are ALWAYS fair game. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt That said, I have to congratulate you on a fresh can of worms. Hillary Clinton killed her law parter, Vince Foster, and she did it personally. I think she poisoned his wine, and then had her thugs roll him up in a carpet, which also went missing from her office. There's an interesting book on the subject "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster" by Christopher Ruddy. Ruddy lays out all the details of the case, without technically saying anything. But the details of the case, by themselves, in the unbiased manner in which they are presented, speak volumes. Part of me wants Hillary Clinton to be the candidate in '08, because of this, but I wonder, would John McCain actually say it? It would be nice if ABC or someone would do a TV special a few weeks before the 2008 election...

Quote:As for Hillary, you'll never see any network air a show which depicts here as having any involvement w/ Vince Foster' death.
Quote:No opposing candidate will ever try to paint her w/ an accusing brush even remotely suggesting her guilt in that issue.
