I would like to see someone hit George W. Bush in the face with a length of steel pipe. Repeatedly.

It's okay, because I actually believe this one, and I'm not just saying it to bait the LJ gnomes.

I would like to see George Bush get repeatedly smacked in the face with a length of steel pipe. Honest.

Gee, sir, that would be swell! I'd like that, too!

Well, I know we can draw a cartoon of it and it will be protected speech.

I'm not sure if we can animate it or not, especially if the animation is photorealistic.

And, insofar as the act depicted is illegal, and "violence against the President" is specifically mentioned in the post I saw, I don't think we can write a story about it and post that story on LJ, because Six Apart is run by craven wussbags.

Not to mention it will probably bring Homeland Security down on our asses.

What are the lj people afraid of, anyway?

Lawsuits? Bad publicity?

I understand the position that child porn is bad. Unfortunately, I find myself insisting that there's child porn, and then there's child porn. And, as Six Apart widens the scope of content they consider objectionable, I get more and more ticked off.

This reminds me of "bong hits 4 Jesus." I worry about the chilling effect of policies like this one. I know Six Apart is a private firm, and they don't have to be concerned with my free speech rights. As a customer, I want them to afford me the freedom to shoot my mouth off anyhow.
