This is no time for jokes or trivial banter. The stakes are getting higher by the nanosecond. As tensions are inflamed at health care town hall meetings across the country, a dangerous trend of Hitler comparisons, Stalin comparisons, and all-around dictator comparisons to President Barack Obama is taking shape. The most probing question at this juncture might be uncomfortable to some, but it must be asked: Do conservative, hard-right demagogues, whose hatred for President Obama has hardly ever been subdued, secretly hope for--and are hard at work toward--the assassination of the nation's first Black president.
The sheer thought that a faction of the country's political bloc holds such views might unnerve certain readers, but fear of the probable demands that we face up to the consequences before it's too late.
A couple of days ago, violence broke out at a Tampa, Florida, health care summit at which U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor was speaking. Mob groups, contracted by right-wing organizations, loudly interrupted the Congresswoman as she spoke, causing a scene so volatile that it soon turned violent.
For those who had been following the recent outbursts of verbal chaos at countless Congressional health care-centered town hall meetings, the Tampa incident was but the inevitable culmination of a brewing hostility that had begun bubbling as early as last weekend, when Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, was heckled and berated by reform opponents at a Pennsylvania town hall meeting where she was also joined by Philadelphia Democratic Senator, Arlen Specter.

or
2...Pelosi charging Americans with being un-American for debating healthcare issues?
That would be the worst thing for conservatives.
1) It’s morally wrong
2) Joe Biden would be president
3) Race riot would occur (That’s why I am concerned white al qaeda might try something)
4) Every socialist agenda would pass without a single nay vote in the name of 0bama.
You mean like was done to Bush?
Of course these media freaks didn't consider that so threatening now. And what of the Nazi comparisons being made against town hall protesters? What of calling them "un-American" and "terrorist?" Any incitement to violence coming out of that?
Then why this inane "article"?
The stakes are getting higher by the nanosecond.
Drama! Drama! We need more drama!
BTW where was that Tutu guy, when the left yelped at "BushHitler"?
The left gets to accuse us of domestic terrorism and play the race card.
Hey, this (projection) game is easy to play.
Why even bring something like this up? No one is saying anything like this. We want answers to our questions.
Geez.

Geez.
No, unlike the left did during President Bush. Does the columnist have any other dumb questions?
What do you mean. This clown would crawl over broken glass to give Obama a ‘sinclair’

Maybe, but probably fewer than OPENLY wished for W’s assination.
Wait, let me correct that -- they weren't so secret about it.
