Over the Top????

[Blacksmith58]

OK I understand differences of opinions, Freedom Of Speach, Can't we all just get along...... but this has me puzzled. There is a movie coming to the US called Death to a President, is this over the top or exceptable now? Watch the video of George Bush being assassinated | the Daily Mail showing GWB being shot at a Chicago event.

Back in the Day, in the Military we have protection of the President Protocals and Procedures. Any talk, discussion of harm to the President would be reported to Secret Service. This kind of stuff bothers me, any president, either party. This seems wrong! Am I alone?

I too think that this movie is over the top, yet to the film industry nothing is sacred anymore. They can put anything on film. As long as it has multiple explosions every 5 minutes, tons of bodies laying around and dosen't mention God or contain a prayer it will make millions. The First Ammendment gives them the right to produce this tripe, but we can send them a message that it is unacceptable by simply not paying to see it.

Blacksmith58, i think the idea of that film is great. My only gripe with it, is that its not true.

Just heard about this film a couple days ago. Guess I'm still naive; I didn't believe it. Thought someone was joking, and it wasn't very funny. Then I realized that one more unthinkable had been done. Seen a lot of that in the last twenty years or so. Seems like the pace is increasing.

I know I won't be paying to see the film, but I guess that's probably not much of a threat from a guy who hasn't paid to see one in... uh... it's been a while.

Freedom of Speech. These folks have every right to make this film. I also have freedom of Feet , Ears and Wallet! In other wordsthey can say or spew anything they want, I can leave using my Feet, Freedom of speech doen't gaurentee freedom of ears, and If I don't want to pay to see it, I don't have to.

Governments should be afraid of the people, not the people afraid of the governments.

Besides, I like how that little article prints tripe like how bush is "the most powerful man in the world". Besides, they don't even show anything happen in the movie clip, you can't even tell it looks like bush, it just looks like some guy in a suit. This whole Bush thing is so stupid, real childish.

Good line from V for Vendetta. Not an extremely wonderful movie, but a good message

I've been saying that up here about our politicians for some time...they feel no fear when it comes to stealing our money or giving it to there friends cuz theres no consequences....maybe it'd be differenet if they thought someone might take them out.

You know Blacksmith 58, you are no better than the people who made that garbage. You FEED the controversy, publicising and advertising for that trash, wether you know it or not, you are exactly the same as the makers of that movie. It's people like you who spread the word perfectly, about all that stuff, that makes others feel stupider for having read it. Do me, and I bet others a favor, and keep this filth to yourself next time.
