Watch what you say

I'm not a fan of Shrub [everyone knows that] but this proposistion sickens me. Why on earth is this a good idea? I really hope that this is a joke. The idea would be to elect Gore to the House of Representatives and at the same time elect enough Democrats to the House to give them a majority. Then the Dems would vote Gore as Speaker of the House. The kicker then would be to assasinate Bush and Cheney so that the succession called for in Amendment XXV in the US Constitution would be invoked. How asinine. Talk like this gives too much fuel to the Right's assertion that us Lefties are just a bunch of wacko's that just want to tear the republic apart. Why not work to get Gore elected in the first place! That this shows up in MeFi is obnoxious.

 So we're posting anonymous messages from other sites advocating the assasination of the president to the front page now?

Anyone have any haiku before the axe falls? I'd write one, but I'm still reeling from both the desperation and stupidity of this post...

Nothing to see here, etc.
EDIT

I am surprised how many people are searching google and finding this page. Let me make this clear, the power of our country is that we don't just go off assassinating people we do not like or do not agree with. Assassination is wrong. Anyone who advocates it will probably be meeting some members of the FBI and quite possible the Secret Service. Great Job!
