Can't stand this group but that's hardly a call for assasination.....That's easily classified as satirical political speech.....

Let's be consistent.....

THis is just an example of a bunch of punks, rather than a call for assassination I would say. Now the fruits down here in Florida, they literally said he should be shot.

I would HARDLY call this a call for an assasination. Its an attempt at a joke, its tacky but it is quite foolish to think of it as anything more than that.
