It Would Be Really Great if Someone Killed Obama

And Reagan killed his assassin with a glance of his eyes. (the devil's eyes kill any living being on this earth instantly!)

His story is 100% true.

Taken from the wikipdia article on TR:

Assasination Attempt

While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on October 14, 1912, a saloonkeeper named John Schrank shot him, but the bullet lodged in his chest only after penetrating both his steel eyeglass case and passing through a thick (50 pages) single-folded copy of the speech he was carrying in his jacket.[61] Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly decided that since he wasn't coughing blood the bullet had not completely penetrated the chest wall to his lung, and so declined suggestions he go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt.[62] He spoke for ninety minutes. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."[63] Afterwards, probes and X-ray showed that the bullet had traversed three inches (76 mm) of tissue and lodged in Roosevelt's chest muscle but did not penetrate the pleura, and it would be more dangerous to attempt to remove the bullet than to leave it in place. Roosevelt carried it with him until he died.[64]

Due to the bullet wound, Roosevelt was taken off the campaign trail in the final weeks of the race (which ended election day, November 5). Though the other two campaigners stopped their own campaigns in the week Roosevelt was in the hospital, they resumed it once he was released. The overall effect of the shooting was uncertain. Roosevelt for many reasons failed to move enough Republicans in his direction. He did win 4.1 million votes (27%), compared to Taft's 3.5 million (23%). However, Wilson's 6.3 million votes (42%) were enough to garner 435 electoral votes. Roosevelt had 88 electoral votes to Taft's 8 electoral votes. (This meant that Taft became the only incumbent President in history to actually come in third place in an attempt to be re-elected.) But Pennsylvania was Roosevelt's only Eastern state; in the Midwest he carried Michigan, Minnesota and South Dakota; in the West, California and Washington; he did not win any Southern states. Although he lost, he won more votes than former presidents Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore who also ran again and also lost. More important, he pulled so many progressives out of the Republican party that it took on a much more conservative cast for the next generation.
 
I shouldn't bother to reply to someone like you, but I think it is a bad practice to make up numbers in order to make an argument, specially when there is no need to make up said numbers.

Your disdain for "facts and figures" shows what type of person you are. BTW I think you took your avatar from a silly picture I posted at Davo's birthday thread.

I'm just saying that approximations can be passed when the main idea of the statement does not rest upon the straight numbers.

There's a difference between:

Because slavery was continued for 400 years, the U.S. government should pay 400,000 dollars to every black person.

and

400 years was a really long time.

Nah, I've had this picture for a while.

I'm 1/4th African. Can I claim 100,000?
 
how much of a joke could it be if one part of the joke implies the reasonable desire for a person to be dead with teh unreasonable desire of another person to be dead?

if she was joking then does she not want osama bin laden dead?
 
Let them kill him. Black Jesus will just rise again.
 
Its really amazing what some people will try and force themselves to think so as not to upset their own political vierws...
 
Hey, don't look at me! I'm not the one who said it!

Guess who did?

Guess?

Link.

Wonder how long it'll be until she(never) apologizes?


What a moron. That is all that I can say.
 
He's already being deified by brainwashing machine. I can't imagine what would happen if someone shot him.
 
A full clip has already been post, but its much easier to bash people form your high moral horse armed with your 3 sec clip.

But in America we love our short 3 sec clips.

Thank you for such wonderful enlightenment.

Now if you could only enlighten me as to how the rest of the clip nullifies the idiocy of my short clip? What are we missing?

I'll wait.
 
OMG it was a joke!
 
A really stupid attempt at a joke, but I don't think there was any malice attached. Not something that should be blown out of proportion.
