Probably fake, but whatever.

Liku · October 2004

Pretty good prank if it's real, but I doubt it.

BigBull · October 2004

it is real. My friend went to a recent rally around here, and he put up an Anti-Bush sign and was yelling profanities.

Secret Service were at his house.

Because he isn't doing anything illegal? Now if he had threatend the president then I could understand.

I don't know about this article though, they use FBI and Secret Service interchangably...

It died long ago, when we started making governments. GG USA.

reasa · October 2004

Makes sense to me, look at history, it's normally not foreign enemies who assassinate US presidents it's crazy homegrown nut jobs.

I'm glad to see the Secret Service is doing its job.

Hmm, If I say I plan on assanating John Kerry, do I get a nifty visit from the Men In Black? If so, Kerry, you better watch out!!!

Maybe if you had actually <i>read</i> the text we're talking about you would know someone on this Live Journal thing reported him. They are not personally scouring internet forums, they don't have the time or the man power.

But they have the time and the manpower to visit teenagers who rant in Livejournals?

TychoCelchuuu · October 2004

Obviously they don't pay people to troll the internet looking for stuff like that. That's the NSA's job, since they have Echelon.

Speaking of Echelon, bomb the White House George Bush John Kerry gun control Christian Coalition terrorist Afghanistan Iraq Al-Qaeda (is that how it's spelled?) Saddam Hussein Israel Palestine Pakistan nuclear warhead. Hello Mr. Echelon Checker! Do you know Sam Fisher?

LOL

But Echelon isnt only used by the US, Australia suggested that it existed although im pretty confident it does.

Terrorism is the beggining of the end of personal rights tho, just because you rant about something online does not mean it should be followd up maby if there was constant talk of it but one message is a little extreem.

In the UK they cant cantrol most of the problems on the street if they spent that kind of man power checking up on forum post tip offs then I can gurantee there will be some lobbying of MPs, MSPs, councilers and MEPs.

ironpancake · October 2004

if he was saying anything threatening towards the president then his right to free speech was thrown out the window. Threats make it go from talk to a matter of national security. Im glad the Secret Service is doing their job.

Democracy with 2 parties that have pretty similar policies you have to ask yourself where is the choice?

To become president you need MEGA bucks in order to fund a campain meaning not everyoen can be president.

I hate to say it but the Uk is heading a similar way althoguh the Scottish Parliament is clsoer to a true democracy since it uses Porporsional Representation against regular First Past The Post system.

I was reading through this thread, waiting, just waiting for this to come up.

This is possibly the funniest and saddest thing to ever come out of Bush's mouth.

Unfortunately, I am unaware of the context the quote comes from (I know, shock-horror, an NSF Australian that isn't fully aware of exactly everything that has happened on the US election campaign trail - weirdly rare, ehy?)

Does anyone know the context?

I'm not saying that the context would justify saying something so fundamentally "unamerican", but I would still like to know.

They have an obligation to follow up on tips, and given the current political climate and mounting tensions on both sides due to the election, I'm sure they are taking no chances.

Marce- I think it had something to do with gwbush.com, the parody site.
