SAVAGE NATION ON OREGON U. ARTICLE

Michael's Savage's Memorial Day replacement brought national attention to an article by a University of Oregon student in the campus daily, The Emerald.
Student columnist Jennifer McBride wrote a piece entitled "10 Reasons Not to Kill Bush".
We agree with the Savage show's conclusion that such a piece would probably never have gotten past editors even 5 or 10 years ago. However, a closer examination of the McBride article shows some rays of hope in the apparent total liberal control of university activities across America.
A disturbing aspect of the article in question is its almost cavalier dismissal of why Bush should not be gunned down based solely on the fact that it would make liberals and Democrats look really bad.
There is a kind of cold hearted and almost ruthless tone employed by McBride in her reasons for declaring presidential killing a no no. She seems to have completely ignored the main reasons we do not kill our Republican or Conservative presidents, namely that it is murder, it is an attack upon the Constitutional government of our nation and, surely not the least, it is treason if carried out by an American, and it is terrorism if carried out by a foreign agent.
The article tends to reinforce our position that campus liberalism has succeeded in morfing any number of left wing clones who will leave the campus after graduation and go on to become anti-American radicals.
In short, student McBride was correct in nixing the idea of presidential assassination. It's just that we think she could have objected to it with much more emphasis on the reasons cited above, rather than just object on the grounds it might make it harder for a left winger to be elected president in 2008.
The best rays of hope in this matter, however, come from most of the comments posted in response to the article by visitors to The Emerald's web page. A majority acceded to the idea that it's really not too nice to shoot our presidents and many of the respondents gave much more responsible reasons than did McBride.
We also question whether or not the Oregon U. newspaper would print an article entitled "10 Reasons Not to Kill Hillary Clinton."
