Heh..

think he's

and

believe that

etc etc blah blah.

I'm not an Obama fan, nor a fan of either party, but ya know... the republican party needs to get off the rhetorical bandwagon, get a f____load more objective, and a lot less emotional. Seems like all i hear coming out of them is just more of the same old emtionally charged rhetoric that sounds like it came out of the cold war or the McCarthy era.

Maybe you should read up on them before saying silly things:

[Fr8monkey]

This goes along with the Reps. using fear to advance their party; obviously because they have nothing to offer...

Dude I know what a Harris poll is. The link you posted in the OP is from some wierd Yahoo website calling itself "The Daily Beast". That's like asking me to take a National Enquirer article seriously.

BTW I love the comments. I suppose you didn't read those eh?

Quotes are taken from the OP link:

"We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the process."

Odd - that didn't seem to stop those who were politically opposed to George Bush from demonizing him now did it? *For the record -I didn't care for GWB either* The "satires" calling for Bush to be assassinated were somehow "funny", but the same calls for it against Obama are somehow "scary".

The reality is that the such things are wrong on both sides... but of course calling down "your side" (whichever side that may be) doesn't seem to happen.

"These numbers all come from a brand-new Harris poll, inspired in part by my new book WingNuts" Gee - a poll inspired by a book that makes it clear that it has an bias...... and somehow the results are "scary"? Polls manipulate based on the questions they ask, and when they are founded or inspired from a specific angle - they reflect the VIEWS of that angle. Thankfully it didn't call itself objective, though it was presented by the OP as such....

The author (and I use that term loosely) hosts a segment on CNN called "Wingnut of the Week" - but he describes himself as a "moderate centrists" - whatever that is.

It is nothing new for Presidents to be threatened. Happened all the time with GWB - but the media - for ideoligical reasons - rarely reported it. However, due to the support they have for this administration, any issue is made more visible.

Doubt that there were people who advovated for GWB to be killed?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/jun/12/george-bush-assassination-videogame-virtual-jihadi (Game depicts Bush assassination)

I could go on and on - but the facts speak for themselves. Politically - death threats are made. They are wrong regardless of ideology. November is when the political cost will be paid. But the OP "article" and "poll" need to be seen for what they are. A political hack job - by a political hack.

No, I'm asking you to take a Harris poll seriously.

As for The Daily Beast:

"The Daily Beast contributors include: Christopher Buckley, Scott Turow, Mark McKinnon, Douglas Rushkoff, Matthew Yglesias, Meghan McCain, Reihan Salam, Tony Blair, Condoleezza Rice, Gerald Posner, Simon Schama, Eric Alterman, Reza Aslan, and others including Brown herself."

Yep. A real fly-by-night and partisan operation, there. Named after a fictional newspaper from an Evelyn Waugh novel. Truly low brow.
