redman Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 From Yahoo!: The Secret Service is studying a pro-Bush cartoon in the Los Angeles Times, showing the president with a gun to his head, as a possible threat, U.S. officials said July 21, 2003. Cartoonist Michael Ramirez said the drawing, which ran in Sunday's paper, was only meant to call attention to the unjust 'political assassination' of Bush over his Iraq policy. The background of the drawing is a cityscape labeled 'Iraq.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Read that story a few minutes ago and thought it was odd...but this is their job - to protect and to investigate all threats to those who they are protecting. Much ado about nothing here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 No, I think while its a clear attack on the President......its not an open threat of what this guy is going to literally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The thing is - the cartoon was IN FAVOR of Bush. Not an attack on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Yeah, Ramirez is the most pro Republican Hispanic since Linda Chavez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 my bad, I was thinking that and typed the total opposite. I'm used to not agreed with him so much. Not going to go back and edit because it was my goof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 To me, it's not a threat; it's a political statement in a newspaper and a forum recognized for such. I think they need to let this go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
