Via Michelle Malkin Is An Idiot:
Commenters on Michelle Malkin’s blog are making assassination threats against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad will arrive in New York on Sunday to attend the meeting of the UN General Assembly.
This comment was still on Malkin’s site today:
On September 19th, 2007 at 6:20 pm, shooter said:
1-Cheytak M200 408 system: $8,000.00
.
Hotel room in NYC……: $350.00
.
1- 408 round………..: $1.75
.
.
Right place at the right time….PRICELESS!
There are plenty more comments not too different from that one. IMHO Ahmadinejad is in no real danger, because Malkin’s chickenhawk readers don’t have the skills to carry out their threats.
For the record: The New York Times reported two days ago that an advance team for the president of Iran asked earlier this month that he be allowed to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site, but the request was denied. In fact, the request was denied before the media knew about it. The Iranian government blames “Zionist agents.”

I find it hard to believe that Michelle wasn’t aware of the protuberence in that chair before she sat on it! And on national tv to boot (so to speak).

Admit it, If George Bush was the subject of “priceless” instead of Ahmadinejad, you would all love it.

I admit Ken, Bush does bring out my lower brain, but I would nevermake a martyr out of him. Michelle doesn’t seem to have a problem with that though. Do you associate yourself with people of her caliber?

Ken, I hope you’re not suggesting that the voter who supports the present regime be targeted, leaving the ‘leader’ without a flock?

Ken, Michelle Malkin was among the first to condemn Arianna Huffington when an unknown commenter on HuffPo implied, in reference to a suicide bombing during Dick Cheney’s Afghanistan visit, that losing Cheney wouldn’t have been a bad thing. What’s the difference? The HuffPo comment was deleted within minutes (but not before the wingers got a screenshot).

Ken,
Not true.
Richard,
I agree. I read a book by Malkin, and it totally grossed me out. I have no respect for her as a journalist, because she’s only a hack artist. If she had as much civility as Huffington Post she’d delete the comments and warn her readers that such comments are completely inappropriate. Such comments cannot remotely be construed as funny. either. It frustrates me when some Americans can think such sayings are somehow okay because those of whom the comments are made are somehow less human than we are.

Ken,
And so?

It’s difficult for many of us to accept that this war, started with lies, treachery, and really already lost ,is only being dragged on so as to place the blame for the catastrophe as a whole in the laps of the likely Democratic successors. The real and responsible perpetrators of this travesty are and always have been the Republican hierarchy, thier corporated sponsors, and any dupes too dim to inform themselves about this reality or too stubborn to see it’s a crime and already a lost cause.
But you can be sure that all the “Progress” that is supposedly being made in Iraq (if it is allowed to continue) will instantaneously dissipate at the exact moment the new Dem president is sworn in. Mark my words.
Therefore, I would again suggest that the real priceless moment in this fubar would be for the perps to be held accountable with a little and very justifiable impeachment. After all Clinton’s impeachment crime pales in comparison to Bush and Cheney’s crimes.

…that is unless Leiberman becomes the Dem nominee. My head would then explode.

Caveat:
That is the only reason I might be glad Gore had his presidency stolen. What if something had “happened” to Gore and the vice pres put in charge.
