"[The prison abuse in Iraq] is a war crime, committed by the president of the United States," Webb declared on his show. "And do you know what the punishment for that is? Death!"
After declaring Bush being guilty of committing a "war crime," Webb compared the president with death row convicts in Texas.
"So, I say if this man has committed a war crime, and they can prove it, let's let George Bush get the final justice that he has meted out as Governor of Texas, laughing at people who have been sent to the death chamber, let him face the death penalty for the war crime he has committed," Webb contended.
Declaring that administering the death penalty to the president "is constitutional," Webb included other Bush administration leaders in the list of those who "should get the death penalty," including Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney, because they are all "war criminals."
Webb went further with his comments by pointing to the Geneva Convention and affirming his belief that Bush should be put to death.
"If this is proven to be true, that he knew what was going on, it's a violation of the Geneva Convention," Webb stated. "When you commit a war crime, which is punishable by death."
Webb then asks his listeners a question and quickly answers it for himself.
"[S]hould George Bush get the death penalty? I say yes," Webb exclaimed

I think this radio tlak show host over stepped.. so many lines of decency it's almost pitiful. While we DO have free Speech in America, calling for anyone's death is wrong, and by Federal Law calling for the President to die is stupid and last time I checked illegal.
But thats aside the point. What this man has done, is to take political debate to a new level of absurdness, to bring it to a new low. His tirade does nothing to add to the debate, and interjects just.. vile hate... and thats not good, right or left.
