Don't go there. Even if you disagree mightily, don't go there.

[Bucwheat]

And so the secret service was a sleep with some confederate hoes.

yeah...we'd hate to see political correctness ruin another forum. :leaving:

There's a major difference between political correctness and implying assassination.

I'm gonna hafta agree with the Buckster there--no matter how much I looooooaaaaaathe our Pretender in Chief (especially after his budget plans were released), assassination is not cool. Impeachment, now, that's an excellent idea :dance:

no. political correctness is not being allowed to joke about it.

hell, back in the day...politicians themselves took out full page newspaper ads threatening their opponents, or threatening a policy...with death. In fu@king black & white.

And they were not joking.

[Dan Dlabay]

To me the assassination of President Lincoln is no joking matter. May God bless Abraham Lincoln.:patriot::patriot:

Where was Skia when this event occurred?

When? Link or image of such?

I don't think assassination of the President has been an acceptable thing to support since the union began. I don't believe even in the height of the Civil War did people with common sense espouse killing Lincoln or Davis.

The day Kennedy was shot, there was a full page ad in the Dallas Morning News vehemently disagreeing with his positions on everything from Civil Rights to Cuba. But nobody said anything about shooting the man.
