I mean, also, one must think of historical context. The CIA - for example - tried to assinate Castro and supported the assination of Allende, which is clearly a lot more serious than some journalist making what some consider an off colour joke about George Bush.
The comparison between this article and Coulter still doesnt fit. Whether or not you think it is in bad taste, the Guardian writer is attempting to be funny, it is nota serious call for Bush to be killed. Coulter genuinely wanted Islamic leaders to be murdered, which is in line with previous American foriegn policy.
