Death of A President

Jesus Christ... the libs are going to have orgasms when they watch this.

(Probably the same ones who said celebrating Zarqawi's death was immoral)

Just shows how immature people can be to show hatred over one person. I don't care who the person is that they are doing it to cause it is just sick in my opinion.

And especially on the day before the 5th anniversary of 9/11? I mean, come on!

I won't judge it until I see it. It sounds like a far left wackos wet dream, but I don't know.

Republican_Man · **Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:01 pm**

I don't think you will get to see it. It's a British TV show, and I doubt the Secret Service would allow it to be shown on TV in this country.

And I'm not reserving judgment for anything. It involves the assassination of a sitting president, and for the first time in history. It's sickening. In America they would probably be charged with a federal offense.

Well,... probably in poor taste, yes, I'm sure they've said the same thing about many of our programing, to. Secret service not allowing it? That's the FCC's job isn't it? Anyways, probably not as it's british, but eventually people who want to see it, will be able to see it.

I don't know what the deal is with FNC stating on TV something about September 10th, but whatever. There is nothing that's going to get me to approve of a movie documenting the assassination of the current president whether it be a Republican or a Democrat. That is just sickening and can have harmful consequences.
I could care less if More4 has produced "excellent 'what if' docu-drams" because the depiction of the assassination of the President of the United States is wrong, no matter what, plain and simple, no matter what else is included in the film. I won't believe a word the production crew says about it, not a one.

True. But I don't see how this can inspire someone to kill. I still don't think its a big deal. Besides, the movie is made by the Brit's, which means the Government has no say in the matter.

I wounder how many people in the US when this film is showed on tv here,

ask there friends to record it and send it to them, or download it iligaly from many places.

I wounder how many US Citizans will download and watch this film.

I d also like to know your views if it was an Associonation of Any Leader say the Queen or some other President what your views are.

sometimes with these kind of shows you have to turn off the fact that it is your area, your leader, your government and see the program for what it is I remember the what if's and I was at first shocked by them, I know that this isnt like the past what ifs and this time they are showing an Attack on a world leader, The what ifs showed how this country could cope under an attack from a terrorst group.

on an off note my favorite what if is the Super Valcano one about Yellow Stone I remember the first time I watched that I was like wow, the daft one about that story is it is true it just hasnt happened yet.

I thought I d add the link from the BBC web site that covers the story for those interested in what the British are saying about this.

well like I asked what would your views be if it wasnt about your President if it was the leader of a differant country

Leo Wyatt · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:02 am**

I wouldn't download it that is for sure. I don't illegally download stuff anyway. I find it crazy and hateful.

PrankishSmart · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:17 am**

Hmm purely fictional. I think an assassination of your president would be pretty much impossible in any case. No need to get bent out of shape for another countries flicks.

madlilnerd · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:33 am**

PrankishSmart · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:36 am**

I agree. It's all fiction. Who cares. Or more to the point, it's fiction in another country never the less and nothing can be done.

Admiral Dani�l · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 9:53 am**

It sounds interesting, it would be with any president. It's just coincedence it's Bush at these times. I'd like to see it, but not illegal. And no I'm not a ANTI-Bush

Admiral Dani�l · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 10:06 am**

NEWS FLASH: Dutch TV news pronouncer(I'll translate it):
"The new Bush master(Army Vehicle) is also called cause of the very dangerous president I mean snake

"

I'm just perplexed by this. I don't understand how you could all just pass this as being a reasonable film and not even believe it to be in poor taste.

For God sake, it's a film about the assassination of the (sitting) President of the United States. To answer your question, jonathon, I can think of a few true tyrants who would perhaps be reasonable to portray in a film like this, but not the Queen of England, the Prime Minister of the UK, the President of France, the President of Australia, and so on. That'd still be equally dispicable, but especially so in those countries that have faced the assassination of presidents at gunpoint, like the United States, in the past.

If this were a fictional president based off Bush I wouldn't care so much, but since this is actually about President Bush being assassinated, I care, especially conisdering that I think he's not only a great man but a good president.

Again, I don't give a damn, to be blunt, whether More4 has released good, thought-provoking "what if" programming in the past. This goes way, way to far, to hell and back.

Cathexis · **Fri Sep 01, 2006 7:17 pm**

In all honesty,

There are many people out there who would probably like to see Bush dead. I am not one of them, although I disagree with much of his actions, or lack thereof. Anyway, More4 is not the typical American standard channel; it deals in 'what if' scenarios.

RM, would you rather the makers of this film set it aside until the day after Bush steps out of office when his term ends ? Would that make it any more okay with you ? I understand and sympathize with the level of respect you have for the President, and I do think it is in frightfully poor taste for anyone to conceive a film about the assassination of a current leader.

However, we have to consider the source. It's More4.

Look at all of the 9/11-related movies that have been released.
How much do you think Nicolas Cage is making off of World Trade Center ? Isn't that in poor taste as well ?

Nevertheless, people have a right to their own 'what ifs' regardless of whether or not it is in good taste to broadcast that scenario to the rest of the world.

I would never dream that ANOTHER assassination of a US President could be possible in this day and age, and somehow I doubt that IF it ever did occur, the culpable party would be accrediting the idea to a documentary UK-based More4 film. He/She would be more likely to use the opportunity to make a point, a powerful statement of hatred toward the current administration and possibly toward Capitalism and/or Democracy.

Again, knowing me, I will probably see the film eventually, but not by illegal means or sources.
