Campaign 2004 violence watch:

A week ago we wrote:

..... we boldly make the following prediction:

There will be at least one major act of violence against the Democratic candidate(s) for president.

And we mean life-threatening violence. Like attempted murder.

That was because of the already red-hot rhetoric that is swirling around. And we at uggabugga got a lot of static for that prediction.

We expected the first signs of that to come from the right, but the left is also reacting to the zeitgeist. On the progressive radio program Background Briefing (heard on Los Angeles' KPFK this Sunday) a caller said of Bush: (audio link)

"Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when we really need him?"

Now most of this is just braggadocio, but we remain concerned about what may unfold in 2004.
