Is Anything Beyond the Pale? Bush Bumper Sticker

Last month, my husband and I were tooling around in Olympia, Washington, and we drove by this car.  The bumper sticker reads "George W. Bush - A President Worthy of Assassination."  Green marijuana leaves decorated the sides of the car.  The license plate reads FRYDRYD, referring to (I believe) cars that run on biodisel (click photo to enlarge). Hope someone keeps an eye on this young man.

Perhaps the bumper sticker was an advertisement for the BBC "documentary-style" film that depicts the assassination of President Bush by a Syrian sniper, showing at the Toronto Film Festival next month.  Repugnant.  As The Anchoress notes, these folks would likely not be amused by a film depiction of Bill or Hillary's assassination.   

P.S. Not a good idea to drive around Aberdeen with that other sticker.  Lot of negative vibes on that car, OLYWA Dude.  Watch out that your karma doesn't bite you in the butt.

Mrs Kelly, I presume,
Freedom of Speech you
Oppose. I must assume
You disdain those few

Whose points of view
Differs from that of you.
The right to express
Views seem to distress

You to such an extent
That you seem quite bent
On issuing veiled threats
To those you never met.

A bumper sticker inane
Make you seem to claim
If the driver is seen
In the town of Aberdeen

He or she will get into
Trouble. A thought new
Bothers you. It seems sad
That freedom makes you mad.

Max, there's no veiled threat in what I wrote. There is an implicit call to violence in the bumper sticker however.

You're confusing "freedom of speech" with freedom to be offensive, irresponsible and revolting. That's some high ideals you have.

Miss Kelly - the driver would be the first to tell you he's all for peace - just kill off the Pres and all will be well. Those people disgust me.

I know it's against the law to threaten a sitting President - I'm not sure if the bumper sticker applies or not, but it's disgusting. It doesn't matter who the threat is aimed at - I was not a Clinton fan at all, but would never even think to say he should be assassinated.

Apparently libs like Max above are under the impression that threats are considered "free speech" - not so and never has been.

God forbid that any physical harm would come to Bush. The thought of him acquiring a martyred like status is even more frightening than our present situation.
