Notice how there also hasn't been a serious attempt against Obama either, nor against any of the Wall Street banksters. They all live in a bubble, utterly isolated in every way from the real world disasters their decisions cause.<br /><br />Actually, my fervent hope is that there will NOT be a successful such attempt, because if there ever is we can kiss the last tattered remnants of our civil liberties goodbye.Bill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-46804607769743398122011-12-03T13:17:56.780-05:002011-12-03T13:17:56.780-05:00I'm quite frankly amazed that no one has assas...I'm quite frankly amazed that no one has assassinated Chimpy or Rumsfeld or Cheney.
