tl: They made a movie about assassinating George W. Bush and cg-ed his head on.

"They" being an obscure British filmmaker who made a film depicting Bush as a martyr.

I've seen nothing to indicate that the crowds demonstrating against Bush had anything to do with making that movie.

tl: They put that movie in theatres.

In an EXTREMELY limited US release to almost universally poor reviews that included a denunciation from Hillary Clinton, who called it "despicable."

tl: I went to a anti-Bush rally, too. They had a giant paper-mached Dubya with a Hitler moustache riding a nuclear warhead. They also had a bloodied Dubya doll hanging from a noose. There were signs comparing him to Hitler "same shit, different asshole" and calling him World's #1 Terrorist everywhere.

And how many signs threatening to bring weapons or invoking guns?

tl: IMAGINE FOR JUST ONE SECOND if people pulled that shit with Obama. Seriously.

They have. And worse.
