I remember one way to control the opposition.
Following the JFK assassination the left immediately blamed Oswald's actions on the emerging modern conservative movement's criticism of the President. (Clinton tried to use OKC.)
Joe Pyne was run off the air by an enraged portion of the public. I believe he was syndicated on hundreds of stations nationwide. Things were pretty quiet and controlled until 1987.
So what if Obama's Chicago Mob decides to sacrifice someone? Obviously it will be a lesser official. A congressman? A senator? Someone in the Administration? Who?
Of course talk radio will be blamed. It's a way to stir up popular demand and immediately silence (fire) the opposition, especially radio's Savage, Beck, Levin, Rush, Hannity . . . .
Obama's Rightwags Fire [ing]. :)
So who will be Obama’s Vince Foster/Ron Brown?
