::::::In the past, critics felt murder was too strong of a word. Others felt that assassination was preferred because Smith was running for President. I prefer murder because it is a better description of the act; however, let's see what others think. --^{[[user:Storm Rider|'''''<span style="color:#01796F;">Storm</span>''''']]}[[User talk:Storm Rider#top|'''''<span style="color:#1C39BB;">Rider</span>''''']] 22:01, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

::::::: I'll just add here that the definition of the word appearing on the wikipedia page on Assassination defines it as, "to murder (a usually prominent person) by a sudden and/or secret attack, often for political reasons." I would say by all means a murder, even by a mob, is an assassination by that definition. It was sudden, secret, and was done for a number of political reasons that could be backed up by sources. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.37.155.85|50.37.155.85]] ([[User talk:50.37.155.85|talk]]) 03:20, 10 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
