Grade schooler threatens to kill George W. Bush

And he’s not kidding, either. In a video hosted at World Star Hip-Hop, what looks like an eight-year-old issues a profanity-laced detailed threat to assassinate President Bush. It’s more than a little disturbing, not so much because it amounts to a real threat, but because it shows just how poisonous Bush-hatred has become. After all, an eight-year-old doesn’t come up with this kind of lunacy all on his own. This is an apple that fell from a psychotic tree.
I’ll skip posting the video. I suspect that we’ll see this face on the evening news, once the Secret Service has a chance to take a look into this. It’s definitely NSFW if you decide to check it out for yourself. (via Fausta)

The logical result of the teaching of the art of being a victim.
The left wing in this country teaches hate in order to keep power. It is so sad.
woodswalking1 on April 20, 2008 at 5:48 PM
Amazing isn’t it. One has to deduce that this girls parents spend a lot of time talking about what Barbarians Americans are.
I actually saw that episode on for some odd reason since I rarely watch PBS. Hopefully Sarkozy will change French attitudes un peu, and maybe Gordon Brown will straighten out the Brits, but who will straighten out the people Obama hangs with whom you just know agree with everything the Europeans said?

His “parent” must be so proud for what’s coming out of his mouth.
Then again, when I went to grade school the teachers actually had the Malkins to wash your mouth out with soap if you uttered just one curse word. Teachers today can’t do that for fear of losing their jobs or being sued.
I wonder, though, if this kid isn’t going to regret making this video later in life and come to resent his “handlers”. Human Resource departments are starting to Google prospective employees, and this video isn’t going to just go away. This kid has just conducted a CLM (career-limiting move).
Dave Shay on April 20, 2008 at 5:59 PM
I wonder which chapter of “Future Prison Inmates of America” this kid belongs to?
mojojojo on April 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM
This kid is a prison prodigy. Don’t have to ask him what he wants to be when he grows up. He wants to be prisoner #231986.

Imagine trying to teach in a class with one, two, or a handful like this one disrupting the class and preventing anyone’s learning.

Exactly, although not funny, it’s meant to be a bad joke.
I’m reading these comments and the blame being put on everyone and everything else other than this child’s caretakers is ridiculous.

Nice to see what over 40 years of government kisses in the mail can do to a culture. I wonder if he knows who his father or grandfather is.
Mooseman on April 20, 2008 at 6:39 PM
I bet his parents aren’t even aware of it. I bet he was put up to this by some teen in his life, a cousin, sibling, young uncle. We shall see when it all come out.

AprilOrit, give us a break with the LOL nonsense. It’s becoming tiresome.
I agree you can’t personally blame Obama for this garbage. But it’s no surprise that nine years of vile and hateful attacks on president Bush, by liberal Democrats will spawn something like this.
“Little juinor’s” hateful diatribe is expected from anyone submerged in that much hate 24/7.
RMR on April 20, 2008 at 7:06 PM
Satire? To post a public video declaring you want to murder the President of the United States? At 8 years old? Using curse words?

His comments reflect his parents, his community, and the liberal gov’t educational system. When he grows up and becomes a “man”, his profession will include the phrase, “would you like fries with that?”. He states, “my people” (blacks?). My people (US citizens) will foot the bill for your incarceration when you commit a felony, & my people will continue to pay for your parents welfare. If I had used any of those explatives my mom would have washed my mouth out with Ivory soap, & after my dad got home from WORK, would have his belt strap on my rear. Young man, what goes around, comes around. That’s my two cents.
hoi polloi on April 20, 2008 at 7:19 PM
I’m sorry, but anyone who can defend this vile screed as free speech doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.
ZK on April 20, 2008 at 7:50 PM
It’s always amusing how conservatives will argue time and time again that race doesn’t matter anymore…and then whenever a black person does or says anything remotely objectionable race is all they can talk about.
I mean good lord. Look at all the built up resentment. Dare I say…bitterness….

One can only imagine what kind of uneducated, abusive and deranged parents this kid has. I mean really, he even fails to use profanity well. My prediction, this kid is destined for a life of neglect, crime and eventually prison. Pathetic parenting.

…Consider the source

SilverStar830 on April 20, 2008 at 8:59 PM
Hmm. Bet his parents and teachers would be appalled to see him playing with toy soldiers, or playing cops and robbers. (Even mentioning cowboys and indians is like uttering the “N” word.) These represent legimate uses of force in defense of civilization. But they allow the child to be surrounded by the language of anarchy and chaos.
Too bad all the social workers come out of the Left.
njcommuter on April 20, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Oh please.
You cleverly leave out the “bitterness” of the homicidal kid in the video and his “bitter” parents (assuming he has parents) and his desire to do far more than go hunting with the boys. It’s also a pretty safe to bet that this kid is not spending time in church to get high on virtual opiates in order to numb his frustration and economic circumstances (that’s how it works, right?).
You also may want to think about what you call “even remotely objectionable”. If there was a video of some white kid threatening Barry like that it would be the headline news story from now until election day.

I distinctly recall a once upon a time coversation I had with a Master’s student. She was pursuing her Master’s in Conflict Resolution. The subject was Ice T as he had just released the Cop Killer album. My comment that Ice T should be in jail as he was leading millions of black youths in the wrong direction was met with “Rap music is a healthy form of expression for blacks”. I think the jury is in on the effects of Gangsta Rap on American youth…Of all races actually…

AprilOrit on April 20, 2008 at 9:46 PM
The little idiot was reading that stuff. It was probably written by his idiot parents or older sibling. There is probably 0% chance that this is a threat to the President, but when this little creep grows up he will be a threat to the community he lives in if he isn’t already. If his parents put him up to it he needs to be taken out of that home. Newt made a great suggestion a few years ago, start a whole bunch of new homes like Boys Town and take kids like this away from the dirtbag parents that have them. Even the government can do a better job raising kids then people like this.

Come to Charleston, SC and I’ll show you what happens when Junior grows up…We have neighborhoods not even safe in broad daylight. North Charleston is fourth in the Nation for violent crime per capita. The sad truth is that most of it is committed by young black males…FBI crime statistics paint a pretty bleak picture of crime in the black community. I won’t bother to quote as I have many times. Check it out for yourself…The end result is no joke for law abiding citizens, law enforcement or the wasted lives lost in senseless violence or behind bars. The baby is ugly…It might be time to stop ignoring the problem and address causal factors and identify solutions…

The Great Fatherless Society has caused all too many of our social ills–especially among black Americans–but this child is merely the progeny of Crazy and Evil, something which knows no race.

It took a village to raise this idiot child, and it will take the rest of society to fund his “3 hots and a cot” for the rest of his adult life.

just saw an ad on tv for the new “naked brothers band” album featuring their latest hit “i don’t want to go to school”…
the lyrics seem to consist of repeating the title over and over again.
do u suppose this is because they are afraid of what they will be taught there?
fyi, if either of my boys, ages 3 and 4, were to have heard that commercial, i would have told them exactly how bad i thought the message is. how many other bad messages are our children hearing on tv, from their friends and in their classrooms?

Whoa…I have been thoroughly and completely desensitized.
Once you see a 12 year old kid saw the head off of his screaming victim…threats to the President don’t seem as vile.
But they should wake us up to the hatred that the left has spread, and is spreading. Hatred for the very country that they live in. Self hating Americans?

I for one would love to hear what Obama would say to this child.
Wouldn’t it be grand if at the next “debate” someone had the malkins to ask, “Senator Obama, you are undoubtedly aware of the viral video featuring a young African-American child who taunts and threatens to kill (or have someone kill) the President of the United States, George W. Bush. How would you a)
correctsalvage this child and b) how would you deal with the adults who are responsible for his behavior?jcmorris on April 21, 2008 at 12:50 AM

Heh. Well, he could also go to Rev. Meeks’s church, or any number of other ones. Maybe he just is a big fan of Alicia Keyes or Spike Lee.
I’d call this more a case of WDS (Whitey Derangement Syndrome) than BDS. Bush is just the big Whitey in the sky right now for this kid and his friends/family. And Obama tacitly approves of this attitude and message, or he’d be out there on a soap box telling these people to clean up their acts, work hard to get good grades in school, and stop blaming their failures on the people who want to hold them accountable for their own actions.

I cannot even imagine the moral sewer in which one must live in order to take this sort of profanity-filled, hateful threatening as even a tasteless attempt at humor. People who think this is somehow acceptable are dangerous people, already prepared to watch the revolution and look the other way. I don’t want such people in my neighborhood (though I know they’re there.)
A) Threatening credibly to kill someone, ANYONE, is not satire. At all. Ever.
B) He’s threatening to kill the president. Not him, “some o’ his people.” There’s NO WAY the Secret Service can fail to take this seriously.
C) The kid is, at the very least, the victim of child abuse, and should be taken from his parents and placed in a decent home where he has a chance at a decent upbringing.
D) The level of hate on the left has gone out of control.
This is one of the faces of the end of western civilization. Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s faces are among the others.

Complete foolishness with disasterous consequences.
Don’t worry, the deadheads will outnumber the producers before too long. We will see how that works out. Capital hill will look like the Detroit City Council, and the Supreme Court will look like Trinity church. And, we will have Geraldo Rivera for President.

This is the entire ‘problem’ of the Republican party, in a nutshell.
When the Dems say we want seniors to eat Alpo, we don’t fight.
When radical Islamists kill 3,000 of our citizens and guests and maim others, we bend over backwards courting Islamic groups, even those like CAIR with radical ties.
When the world says we don’t do enough for hunger instead of addressing the root problems and being critical, we throw more money on the fire.
When lefties criticise America and say we’ve lost our ‘moral authority’ no one asks how much moral authority we had when we didn’t stand up to mass murderers like Saddam and the Taliban.
When illegal aliens run roughshod over our rules and borders and their presence forces hospitals to close and higher taxes to be levied and the people cry out, we’re called bigots and marginalised.
When the Democrats demonise the wealthy and profitable business, we look the other way.
When we have a chance to cut earmarks and show the stuff we’re made of, we won’t agree to it.
We used to be made of stronger stuff, the Republican party. We used to take the time to counter accusations and claims instead of being cowered by them and worried about ‘perception’. Our war against radical Islam has evolved (to a large degree) into a propaganda war, but still we don’t take heed.
So is it here; there are things that need to be forgiven and others that don’t. Sandy Berger should have had the book thrown at him; McDermott investigated for giving comfort to the enemy, convicted spies from China who committed treason executed.
Somehow, we don’t have the stomach for it any more. Everyone is so concerned about getting what they can and looking good doing it that principles have fallen by the wayside and with it, order.
That’s a far worse moral authority to lose than the perception of some European socialists.

I’d argue that he was, but I don’t dispute your earlier point about whites being the in the majority for assassinations.
Surely you found more than one example if you’re going to paint us all as racists, especially when the example you provide says nothing about blacks.
I get your point, but this is being framed in the press as some sort of race issue, as though Obama’s win or loss somehow directly affects black people. With that as the backdrop, it’s easy for people to think of Rodney King.
Personally, I’m not worried about a race riot, but no matter who wins, and especially if the election is “stolen” by the super delegates, violence doesn’t seem unrealistic, not by race specifically.
And yes, I remember the Lil’ Moonbat. She was scary, but at least with her it was obvious she was just reading a script. I’m thinking this kid is ad libbing, especially because he repeats himself so much.
It looks like a computer camera to me, one that’s attached to the computer. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it all by himself, assuming someone taught him how to use a computer.

To me, the repitition is what makes it clear that he is reading or has been coached. He keeps repeating because he’s not coming up with this on his own, so he keeps falling back to what he’s been told to say. If I were his parent, after I got done with him, he would be afraid to say “good morning” w/o checking with me first. Also, whoever did the coaching needs to be locked up
