The IRA successfully campainged for funds in the USA AFTER their assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher. They also tried to assassinate John Major.
I wonder how many Americans even know that? This sort of thing actually matters and bad jokes about how the world would be better off without Bush's policies fall well behind on the scale of important news. It is a testament to the American "angry right" that this quote-out-of-context got anywhere at all.
Where's the outrage at $1Billion missing from Iraqi oil revenues?

"Its something I would expect from a radical Islamist, not the United Kingdom."
Don't think we like you just because our lapdog Prime Minister is always there for Dubya. An in return what do we get? We were let off George's illegal steel tariffs early. Cheers! If you spent less time reading pathetic diversions like this one and reading properly informed comment and unbiased reporting instead then maybe you'd understand why everyone else hates W. There's plenty of valid reporting going on. If it doesn't fit with your own politics then you should look at why you think the way you do, just don't waste time with this nationalism crap.

"Little Charlie’s mother must’ve been a Glasgow heroin whore suffering from syphilis when he was born, because she has no doubt passed her madness on to him. Insolent cretin. Where is Thomas Hamilton when he’s really needed?"
For those who don't get the reference, Thomas Hamilton killed 16 primary school children in Dunblane (not Glasgow). It's interesting that the article's author overlooked the "mother as syphillitic heroin whore" explanation for Bush's freakish debate performance.

"This makes me angry, real angry."
How about getting angry at something that matters? Foreign chemical companies illegally polluting fishing areas while getting hundred million dollar subsidies - which you pay for!
