Gee I wonder if at a Tea Party rally if people chanted “Death to Obama” if these same Dems would say “Well that can be interpreted in different ways”

No biggy... Khamenei was just doing his best at his Benjamin Franklin imitation: “A Republic; if you can’t keep it, it’s Death to America!”

I agree. Just like Hitler's 'Death to the Jews' chants could be read a couple of ways.

Because who could expect a politician to actually tell the truth.

“really plays to the conservative crowd” in Iran.

Actually it plays to the muslim crowd as that “religion” requires the death of America to be ableto rise to world dominance

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

The only way to read what Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said is that his words gives aid and comfort to the enemy.

Or “Death to liberals” et cetera.

What about the Black Arts Movement’s “Death to Whitey” mantra?

"Death to America" contains no "or else".

It is not contingent on our behavior. The problem is what we are, which to them is the Great Satan.

Of course they really mean it.

The only wiggle room is that "moderates" might not be in such a big hurry, strictly as a practical matter.

The fact that the spoon-fed straight-ticket Demagogic Party supporters will immediately believe that, and take that up as their own, shows just how far gone they are.
