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.

No. But I would like to see it when Captain Queeg/Obama breaks down and cries like a little girl at a press conference.
Wait, let me correct that -- they weren't so secret about it.
Not just no but hell no... no matter what your opinion of the President, an attack on the office holder is an attack on the country. We have legal means of changing heads of state, be it elections or impeachment.
Wow the author... is like... 12 years old.
No real conservative would wish this on Obama, primarily because it is wrong, but even if THAT wasn't enough to not wish such a thing, an assassination would instantly martyr the guy, and that would be far, far, FAR worse than letting him live out his term and fail miserably so that all could see the utter failure of socialism.
Right, then we’d be stuck with Biden
We know socialists are trying to gin up controversy to discredit Conservatives and deflect attention from BO’s and his socialist health care plan’s plummeting popularity.
Not only no, but HELL NO!
Who is Tutu Orlarunda and what is “Daily Voice” ?
Well, “Tutu” the difference between conservatives and liberals is that I personally despise Obeyme and WISHED he would lose the elections in 2012 a broken man.
Now I wished you asked that question when your insane and sick liberal brethrens produced a film called “The Assassination of George W Bush” that got applause at the Toronto Film festival many years ago.
As a Christian, I must oppose ANY such notion!
As an American, I must oppose ANY such notion!
Speaking pragmatically, it would be the worst thing that could happen to the conservative movement, even if it were proven that one of his own deranged leftist minions did it.
“JFK is almost a deity for the left now. I certainly don’t want to add Obama.”
And if stories are to be believed as in who they say killed him, it was a lefty that pulled the trigger.
I wonder how seriously a person named "Tutu" thinks he or she should be taken.
there are countless examples of how the left fantasized about the death of GWB.
But I’ve never heard any conservative wish for BO’s assasination. I believe Obama will be the strongest teacher in liberalism and its effects we conservatives could ever ask for.
Another race-baiter. Their voice is getting hoarse due to all the shrill wailing. They are the same folks who believe that black and brown folks cannot be racist because they are black/brown, but also that a conservative black/brown person is racist. Bankrupt logic, taught in the most prestigious schools. Go figure.
Need the corrupt MSM be reminded that this very image was placed on national television by a major network?
Not to worry, he’ll be back in 3 days.......
You know, most of the white people I know hold Dr. King’s ideals (judge men by the content of their character, not the color of their skin)closer to their hearts than the African American community. I personally, do not view life through the prism of race unity. I find that those that do are the true racists in this country.
I didn’t vote for Obama because I disagree with all of his views and beliefs. Say the same for the 96% of the black community that voted for Obama. You can’t.
“... I honestly think that there is a type of White, middle-aged, American male... who has had a kind of mental collapse...”
Well, I guess that fits me. I want to be a poet in the New America, the one where after we all go bankrupt, all citizens get a Basic Income Grant each month.
parsy, who thought his mental collapse was a secret
