Will Bush library be a target? ... asks Dallas Morning News

Will Bush library be a target?
Experts say terror threat to SMU real, disagree on attack chances

12:00 AM CST on Saturday, February 10, 2007
By KRISTEN HOLLAND / The Dallas Morning News

Terrorists will destroy the Bush library and take out most of the Park Cities at the same time. The question isn't if but when, says Sam Boyd, a Park Cities lawyer.

Mr. Boyd isn't alone.

A number of Park Cities residents say they fear that building the presidential library in University Park would be like painting a big, red target on their community.

Security and terrorism experts have mixed sentiments. Although some say presidential libraries are unlikely targets, others say Bush's library may change that because the president is such a polarizing figure worldwide.

"It's just kind of a realization," Mr. Boyd said about the terrorist threat. "I'm not willing it. I don't want it. But if they build the target, somebody's going to shoot at it."

2. The Scorn Will Be Enough...Anyone Been To Red Branch, IA Lately?
The booosh legacy will be written in blood and darkness. There is nothing to look back on the years that asshat squatted in the White House...nothing! Will they make it a tribute to this glorious war for profit with rooms sponsored by "Rangers" and Contractors? Or maybe it should be built as a memorial for all the wasted lives and money squandered by booosh and his cronies...a way for the folks of Texas to wash this loser out of their system, and remember those who were the victims.

3. Maybe not just terra-rists
I propose that if they build it we will come......every January 20th and throw rotten eggs at the building. Make it a new holiday, in honor of the worse president of the US of A. As a new pres is being sworn in in DC, we can swear at the library. I still can't figure why he needs one. Before he leaves office there will be a major shredding of all docs of any importance. Does anyone know what happened to that historic edition of "My Pet Goat"? Did anyone have the foresight to snatch it up and preserve it? If not, there will be nothing to put in it.

5. LOL - this is the dumbest kind of paranoia

On the list of EFFECTIVE terrorist targets, ones which both

a) kill the most numbers of people in a concentrated fashion
b) makes a good propaganda victory (much media coverage, symbolic)

This is how these terrorist bastards think, and in consideration of that the Bush Library would be about #1,751,291 out of 1,751,291 on that scale.

First off, considering Little Boots Bushler is the most hated pResident EVER, whereas most institutions have 70-100% as their target audience to start with, Bushler's Bunker starts off with a potential target audience of 30-50% tops. Real Americans won't want to soil themselves in a den of totalitarian thinking. Add to that the Bushler Bunker will have a propaganda mill attached and that means the place will be crawling with bad and mean people, assuring any regular person who goes there will feel arrogance and contempt baking off the walls, and you have a very uncrowded building indeed.

Plus, the building itself will be filled with Busheviks and Bush Supporters, who have likely triggered the greatest upswing in terrorist recruitment in history AND given Bin Laden his victory by turning American totalitarian, immoral and unjust before the world and to ourselves. It is likely the al-Qaeda leadership wishes Bushler could have another 20 years of dictatorship. Beware, they may move to cement it and LIHOP #2 will be on soon (God Forbid).

It is also important to note that both Muslim Extremists and Bushevik/Christofascist Extremeists hate liberals for almost identical reasons (NEVER FORGET THAT!), such as homsexuality, secular humanism, etc.

8. Why even waste ink on this bullshit, unless...
it's really coming from the faculty and Methodist ministers using it to as another tactic to kill the library?

Damn! I grew up with everyone looking for Communists under the bed-- now it's "terrorists." Will there ever be a day when we don't have an "enemy" to be deathly afraid of?
