Conservatives in America are playing with fire by inciting violence against the country's first black president
"Does the sun ever shine during a Democratic administration?" asked Jon Stewart on a recent edition of The Daily Show, in a nod to the rightwing hysteria over the current White House incumbent. "With Obama in office now, when babies laugh do you hear only the sound of kittens drowning?"
Stewart is a comedian, but this is no laughing matter. The lies perpetrated against Obama – that he is a foreigner, a Marxist, a Nazi, a racist, intent on interning the elderly and euthanising the disabled – and the ensuing hatred and virulence, have reached fever pitch.
I could only rub my eyes in disbelief when I saw footage of one protester standing outside an Obama town hall meeting in New Hampshire with a loaded handgun strapped to his leg, holding a placard proclaiming: "It is time to water the tree of liberty," in reference to the Thomas Jefferson quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots." In Maryland, one man went even further, holding up a sign saying: "Death to Obama" and "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids".
This militant, rightwing craziness comes on the back of the now-infamous ad published in a Pennsylvania newspaper in May, calling for Obama to be assassinated – and, of course, in the wake of a presidential election campaign in which crowds at Republican rallies shouted "Kill him!", as well as "Treason!" "Terrorist!" and "Off with his head!"

I disagree...they were, in all probability, union thugs or just everyday socialists following Zero's orders to fight back.
I have no doubt they were there, just NOT Republicans.
Reminds me of the scenario where the unfaithful husband constantly accuses his wife of infidelity.
Amen to that. I read on waiting to see the punch line but the author takes himself seriously. Slandering millions. And millions more will take it as the truth.
“And if this writer had any understanding of political behavior in the US today, his first suspicion would be that those signs were being carried by leftists, knowing our in-the-tank media would blame it on conservatives without a single question entering their mushy little heads.”
...or suspect the sign carrier, photographer, and reporter to be working in cahoots.
The reliably leftist Guardian. Facts always on holiday.
Violence has been associated with the supporters of the Usurper, not the detractors thereof.
As for whether that will remain the case, the future will tell. It all depends on how hard and how far the thieves are willing to push.
Muslims don’t allow no stinkin’ free speech for the native infidels in their new homeland called Britian.
Is this little man threatening Americans for speaking out against his mullah Obama? “Look out now...you are playing with fire, American infidels...”
The Guardian is the shrillest of British left-wing trash. Something like a Communmist National Enquirer.
> Muslims don’t allow no stinkin’ free speech for the native infidels in their new homeland called Britian.
They certainly seem to have made themselves feel at home in Britain. I suspect, tho’, if they begin starting to act out any of their muslim Sharia fantasies, the locals will soon acquaint them with their new reality: what they had mistaken for subservience was really only old-fashioned British good manners, and that they have overstayed their welcome.
Once British patience wears thin, they had better watch out.
Wish we could make out the plate on that van...
Let's see now. When President Bush was in office, we were in a depression, involved in a hopeless war in Iraq, had high unemployment and hated by the world.
Now, all of those things have gotten worse.
Still sounds to me like the leftwingers were the ones drowning kittens.
Stewart doesn't seem to mind all the money he's lost.
Talk about hysteria! Chicken Little is running The Guardian.
