A bootleg of an upcoming Eminem song has lyrics about killing the president. The secret service is investigating.

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

The guy will do anything for publicity.
Of course, the danger is not him killing the president,but him failing to do sobut, that someone would do it, because he was "inspired". -
That's the thing. You could have some disturbed fan that tries to shoot Bush because he wants to emulate the lyrics or something.Originally posted by Azazel

This sort of investigation is very routine precisely because of this sort of scenario.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams.

Anyone who would wish to shoot President Bush and allow Cheney to become president must be god damn insane.Comment

If he's disturbed, he's going to **** up somewhere along the line, sooner or later, anyways. Besides, we already have documentaries about every past Presidential assassination, and nothing has arisen out of them. What's your point?That's the thing.

I know the Left would secretly love if someone took out Bush. I for one, do not want any harm to come to my president!'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight.

Yeah, cuz so many derranged fans do what song lyrics tell them to do.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Note there is no threat to kill the president--merely a statement that he'd rather see the president dead than be a sell-out (too late?). And, technically, he doesn't specify any particular president by name or country."(Expletive) money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead."
I don't see any cause for hysteria--free speech and all that. I'd rather see the president dead than 1 million children dead. Is that a threat?
The paranoia of the Right is amazing.Last edited by Boris Godunov; December 6, 2003, 12:55.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

i know the right has neither the intellectual integrity nor the political courage to see the left as something other than a monolithic opposition to some of bush's policies.

so it's easier to blame those who made something which may have influenced those that committed the crime instead of those who actually committed it? marilyn manson has hordes of fans whose only crime is that they listen to such ****ty music (i will admit, though, i like his rendition of tainted love far better than the original). as for doom... most everyone in my generation played it. most of the out of millions of us, less 1 percent engaged in such behavior. school violence on the whole has gone down, barring a few high-profile incidents.
while we're at it, let's blame everyone except dylan klebold and eric harris.B♭3Comment

I was poking fun at the concept that movies, games, and albums cause kids to shoot up schools etc.
