1. I bet this will get more views if you add TYT in the title.

The Young Turks is really popular around here.

6. I voted. But I had a weird glitch:

I played the young turks video clip on the site, and there was no sound. A different clip on that site did have sound, but not the TYT one.

I'll check again to see if it's been fixed.

3. I remember back during the 2000 election-

Some 20-something, living in his parents' basement, called in to the howard Stern show and made a much less threatening remark than this about Joe Lieberman (then the VP candidate) and was hauled away in handcuffs by the Secret Service that same afternoon.

Put this clown in jail.

5. Do any of you remember what happened

When Moveon.org, Dixi Chicks, etc said something? It wasn't anywhere near this vile. They had resolutions on the house floor DENOUNCING it...where are they now? Where are the leaders, the COOLER HEADS?

They BETTER step up to the plate, something is going to happen, and there will be blood on their hands.

'Burning Bush' comment draws prison term
Man plans to appeal
Friday, December 6, 2002 Posted: 2:59 PM EST (1959 GMT)

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (AP) -- A man who made a remark about a "burning
Bush" during the president's March 2001 trip to Sioux Falls was sentenced
Friday to 37 months in prison.

Richard Humphreys of Portland, Oregon was convicted in September of
threatening to kill or harm the president and said he plans to appeal. He
has said the comment was a prophecy protected under his right to free
speech.

Humphreys said he got into a barroom discussion in nearby Watertown with a
truck driver. A bartender who overheard the conversation realized the
president was to visit Sioux Falls the next day and told police Humphreys
talked about a "burning Bush" and the possibility of someone pouring a
flammable liquid on Bush and lighting it.

"I said God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," Humphreys
testified during his trial. "I had said that before and I thought it was
funny."
