Yep... it's againts the rules to personally attack another member of this site.

Last I checked, the VP isn't a member of this site. And if we restricted everybody who called for a politicians head, most of the people in this thread would be restricted.

So enough with the personal attacks. People are welcome to their opinions of politicians... even if they are moronic.

So enjoy, and enough with the attacking members. Uh, last I checked making violent statements about government officials (even if there's no risk of actual violent action) is NOT a form of protected speech and may in fact be highly illegal. I'm trying to find a specific citation of the relevant law.

Edit: Not having much luck. The Sedition Act (covering the advocation of violent overthrow of the government) was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. And now that I think about it, Ann Coulter just a few days ago had said openly on Chris Matthew's Hardball that she wished John Edwards had been assassinated.
