JULY 2003: LA Times cartoonist Michael Ramirez was investigated for a drawing that he says is pro-Bush. A man with the word "politics" on his back is shown pointing a gun at the President. He claims its message is how "leftist anti-war goons" are under-mining Mr Bush.
DECEMBER, 2003: An Eminem number with the lyrics: "I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see the President dead" sparked agents' interest.

OCTOBER, 2004: Annie Sewell- Jennings, 22, of Charleston, South Carolina, was probed for saying in a blog that she "prayed Bush gets an aneurysm".
