See what his sign says? How is that not an open call for the assassination of the president?
It's a reference to a Thomas Jefferson quote, by the way. Google it. Timothy McVeigh's favorite quote, by the way. When McVeigh was arrested, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of Lincoln on the front and a tree dripping blood on the back. By the way.
I don't have a problem with a man exercising his rights to open carry. I have a REAL problem with people pretending they don't get what this guy is saying. Forget his gun. It's the message on his sign that's disturbing.
The crazy right is whipping up all kinds of frenzy--about HEALTH CARE, for god's sake--and I'm honestly worried it's going to end in assassination attempts. And then the maniacs who are driving nutbag-right opinion can wring their hands and say, Oh, I NEVER meant for THAT to happen. THAT person was obviously UNWELL! It's disgusting.
Yeah, there was bitter outcry against the Bush administration. There were protests. The difference is,
nobody called for Bush's assassination.
