		<description>&lt;b&gt;"Oh I’m sorry bitches, did I offend somebody by leaving a comment?"&lt;/b&gt;

No, but your mutterings are an affront to the English language. 

&lt;b&gt;"Well if it’s fiction, why not just use some random fictional president instead of Bush? Oh wait. Because libby’s everywhere are jerking off watching a movie where Bush gets assasinated."&lt;/b&gt;

Excellent. I see a plural noun including a random fictional apostrophe and a clever masturbation reference, but no cogent argument as to why the film is liberals' collective dream. You're making the classic mistake of projecting, which in this case means thinking that everyone is as bloodthirsty as right-wingers when it comes to political disagreements, but liberals aren't inclined to want people shot; most of us would be happy to see Bush and his shady cronies simply leave office.

&lt;b&gt;"And uhh, Kemibe, I checked out your ‘site’. Good to see you’ve got the opposable thumbs thing down. Maybe next somebody will teach you how to use eating utensils. At leat you’re admitting you’re a monkey."&lt;/b&gt;

I knew your clever retort would end with a dose of irony. Chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys. I guess it's been a while since you strolled the halls of higher education. Thanks for your focused and meaningful comments on the site, though.

The pissing and moaning over this film is also ironic in light of right-wingers' constant manifest pride over being "non-PC." Evidently, it's only okay to be "non-PC" when the targets aren't imaginary right-wing icons such as a competent George Bush, an impartial and sensible Ann Coulter, and a queer-hating Jeezus H. Christ. You intellectually bereft and purely reactionary assholes are some of the easiest targets imaginable.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;"Oh I’m sorry bitches, did I offend somebody by leaving a comment?"&lt;/strong&gt;

Well, no. Had you stopped to think, Dan, you would have realized that the presence of a comments form means that I invite comments. Perhaps you might try stopping to think, once in a great while.

&lt;strong&gt;"Well if it’s fiction, why not just use some random fictional president instead of Bush? Oh wait. Because libby’s everywhere are jerking off watching a movie where Bush gets assasinated."&lt;/strong&gt;

You will have to ask the producers of the movie why they chose to portray the assassination of George W. Bush rather than a fictional President.

No one is doing anything while watching the movie, because it hasn't aired yet, Dan. You could try reading for comprehension.

Stephen Covey has said that "We see the world, not as it is, but as we are". Obviously, you see yourself jerking off while watching a movie  --  and you are therefore incapable, in this case, of imagining anyone else doing anything else.

&lt;strong&gt;"And uhh, Kemibe, I checked out your ‘site’. Good to see you’ve got the opposable thumbs thing down. Maybe next somebody will teach you how to use eating utensils. At leat you’re admitting you’re a monkey."&lt;/strong&gt;

At least we know now that you are incapable of rational discussion, preferring instead to stoop to the use of the well-worn &lt;em&gt;ad hominem&lt;/em&gt; fallacy.</description>

		<description>Who's Barrak Obama? Any relation to the U.S. Senator from Illinois?

Hey, I checked out your "site," Dan. You open your latest offering with, "The American Left has always used media to broadcast how they want things to be." I'm wondering what this has to do with the title of your post -- "Wouldn't it be great if....somebody were to assasinate George Bush?" -- since the film this title clearly refers to was made in the United Kingdom by a British filmmaker who, like other British artists, is probably not a puppet of the U.S. media.

And I'm going to guess that the answers to your questions to meatbrain are "yes" and "no" respectively, since he, unlike you and your hand-wringing friends, understands the difference between making a movie about a shooting and actually shooting someone. (In case this is unclear, by the way,  the"Star Wars" saga is also a work of fiction. All six movies, in fact. No one has ever built a Death Star.)</description>

		<description>No, Dan, I would not have a problem with that. Fiction, you see, is &lt;em&gt;fictional&lt;/em&gt;.

Now, were you to make an actual threat against Obama, or any other office-holder, I'd be all in favor of the appropriate law enforcement agency investigating you quickly and thoroughly.</description>

		<description>So it's cool if I make a movie about the assasination of Barrak Obama?  You wouldn't have a problem with that?  Cool.</description>
