I, for one, am glad that Cheney is OK after assasination attempt

[Poiuyt]

First I wouldn't want to see him turned into a martyr for the right wing. How sickening. Can you imagine a Cheney Memorial in Washington?

Second, I don't want any harm to come to him before he goes to trial in The Hague. I want to see him live a long and healthy life in solitary confinement in Spandeau Prison.

1. I'd hope that no one actually wishes him ill

that is wrong, against the rules, and against the law. If you see anyone posting such please alert the moderators.

[helderheid]

2. AGREED.

[Fresh_Start]

4. would it be against the rules to wish

the condi's feet grow 5 sizes so her treasured shoe collection is useless?

[underpants]

8. No that would just be SuhWEEET!

:bounce:

[Fresh_Start]

9. I have to admit I'm also wishing for a guilty verdict

for scooter. though I believe it would be blasphemous to pray for it

[LuckyTheDog]

6. Nobody would have wanted him harmed

I think we're all glad that Cheney was not hurt in the apparent assassination attempt.

Whatever one thinks about the vice president, it would be an outrage if he were injured or killed by the likes of the despicable Taliban.

It is, however, tragic that others died. Let's not let them die in vain. Let's get serious about finishing the job in Afghanistan!

[Virginia Dare]

17. I wish he'd rot in prison while rats slowly gnaw off his toes...

is that wishing him ill? If so, well, so be it.

[underpants]

23. No

that is called justice

[catgirl]

26. Wishing is not against the law

or the rules, and it's a matter of perception if it's wrong.

[AndyA]

3. I agree. I don't want anything to happen to Bush or Cheney or any of the rest of them.

Because it's wrong, regardless of how people may feel about them.

They need to be held accountable for their actions in a legal manner that protects their rights. Anything less would put justice in the same gray area that they operate in. Bush and Cheney need to be held as an example of what happens when you don't respect the Constitution and the rights of the American people.

[atreides1]

11. They'll get away with their crimes

These people will never be held accountable for their actions, we'd have better chance of turning lead into gold, or watching dollar bills grow on trees!

As for either Bush or Cheney being held as examples of any kind, that's a pipe dream.

[rexcat]

36. Cheney does have health problems...

When he dies I will not shed any tears but I don't think I will be dancing in the streets though I will probably open up a nice bottle of wine for the occasion, in private of course.

[liberalnurse]

5. If he, Cheney, were to leave office for health or choice reasons,

then *bush would appoint a new vice....and that appointment would no doubt be one off the GOP Presidential Primary list. That would elevate their status for the nomination.....

So, I too am glad Cheney is not injured.

[Kelly Rupert]

7. I wouldn't want him to come to any harm either.

There is no place in civilization for assassinations or bombings, no matter how loathsome the target.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. I still believe in karma. Cheney will be held responsible for

his actions one way or another. That's why revenge is futile and I don't recommend it in any situation. His destiny is like a pre-dated check, full of promise on the date recorded.

[Swede]

12. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

[aquart]

13. Absolutely.

I favor a lightning bolt out of a clear blue sky.

[bigtree]

14. me too

I don't want to see anyone hurt or killed from these abhorrent acts of violence.

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. Impeachment first! n/t

[northzax]

16. well, he can't make it to Spandau

since, of course, it was demolished after the death of Rudolph Hess in 1987. but I get your point.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

22. I don't want to see Dead Eye Dick hurt at all. Like so many others

I want to see him on trial at The Hague for crimes against humanity. I want him somewhere out of the reach of the omnipotent powers of a presidential pardon.

That said, I smell a "staged" event. A straw that KKKarl is grasping to turn the conversation away from poorly planned wars, COS on trial, low poll numbers, the list is endless. Wasn't he on a secret trip? How did the terrorists find out where he was? Is his security that bad? Is there a leak? Thought they were the guys who would keep us safer? They can't even keep a slimeball like Dead Eye out of harm's way? Puhleeze. How convenient. I don't believe for a second he was in any real danger but it sure plays well to the sheeple.

And yes, I still believe Dead Eye will be gone before the '08 election cycle. They need an incumbent VP running for the Republics to have any chance of getting a candidate elected. Think they will hedge their bets until they see a real front runner for the Republic party and then they magically find themselves in need of a VP due to "health" reasons.

My tin foil hat is a little tight this morning.

[treestar]

30. Staged was the first thing I thought of when I first heard this

You make great points. Please, with all the keeping him in undisclosed locations. They let him go there? And once they had him there, they did not do everything in their powerful arsenal of security techniques to make his safety a certainty?

No way, Jose.

[louis-t]

31. A friend of mine was Hess's guard at Spandau.

Said the guy was creepy.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. If Cheney got killed Bush would attack Iran.

Not connected in any way but so what.

[Journeyman]

19. Spandau was dismantled after Hess' suicide. . .

It's been a shopping center for years.

[bullwinkle428]

20. The thought of his snarling face staring through the bars of a

10 x 10 cell for the rest of his natural life, just gives me a special feeling all over!

[Apollo11]

21. The Cheney Memorial?

that would have to be the biggest Dick in Washington. :eyes:

[bumblebee1]

33. You mean bigger than the Washington Monument? eom

[madokie]

24. You bet, I would like to see 'em keep him alive as long as a machine can help

all the while being confined to a very small space of only a few cubic yards. I want him to hae a lot of time to think about all the death and destruction he has caused

[Arugula Latte]

28. He should be treated like a veal calf.

Except for the eating part. :scared:

[Cooley Hurd]

25. I'm glad he's okay, too - why rob the Hague of a perfectly good...

...war crime trial? :evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

27. I don't want him to croak and have them install someone "likable" as VP

that they could set up for '08.

[meldroc]

29. As much as I hate the son-of-a-bitch, killing him won't accomplish anything.

Given that 23% of the population has a high level of right-wing authoritarianism, and 4% can be described as sociopathic, there are plenty of assholes waiting in line to replace him.

There's also the martyr factor (a Cheney Memorial? EWWWW!) and the fact that acts of violence don't discourage, but actually energize those with fascist tendencies. Kill Cheney, and they'll all be crawling out of the woodwork, demanding even more police-state powers.

Non-violence is far more powerful and productive. Get enough people shouting out, and those in power will eventually have no choice but to arrest Cheney and put him on trial for war crimes.

[bumblebee1]

32. Spandau Prison is closed down.

It closed in the 80's shortly after the death of Rudolf Hess.

[Hobo]

34. Not only closed but

They tore it down in 1987 after the last prisoner Rudolph Hess died.


Hobo

:beer:

[jakefrep]

35. If Cheney had died,

I am sure Bush and his remaining cronies would have found a way to use Cheney's death to justify an attack on Iran.
