An Idaho Republican gubernatorial hopeful insists he was only joking when he said he'd buy a license to hunt President Barack Obama.
Rex Rammell, a former elk rancher slated to run against incumbent C.L. "Butch" Otter in the May 2010 GOP primary, made the comment at a Republican rally Tuesday in Twin Falls where talk turned to the state's planned wolf hunt, for which hunters must purchase an $11.50 wolf tag.
When an audience member shouted a question about "Obama tags," Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

People need to think before mouthing off.
We know he didn't mean it literally.
BUT
The true threat to us, as Glenn Beck has outlined, will use this to throw as many as possible off the scent of the true threat.
No, but there was a Bush hunting season. It lasted eight years, during which folks could joke about anything you wanted to, up to and including murder.
a macaca moment. this guy is probably completely unheard of outside of Idaho. Give the mediasluts 72 hours and this guy will be a household name.
There was even a movie made of Bush being assassinated.
Waste of ammo.
Bush was not the first black President and a radical leftist worshipped by the Media.
Of Course there is a double standard.
There always has been.
That doesn’t make it smart to joke about hunting Obama with a gun.
Totally agree. Just plain stupid. This type of talk gets you
a visit from the guys with gold badges, with cool sun glasses who drive those really tricked-out bullet proof SUV’s.
They even made a movie fantasizing about it.
Heck, it could help him in Idaho, but only if he doesn’t grovel and apologize like the ball-less wimp from Virginia
Obama and his minions are trying to entrap and enslave us to a fascist, socialistic State a la Chavez in Venezuela.
Beck is proving that, as if we needed any more proof but every bit helps.
Somebody like this takes the focus off the plot to enslave Americans and puts it on some guy in Idaho joking about hunting Obama with a gun.
It is a mistake.
I don’t care, personally, whether he apologizes or not.
You don’t publically joke about hunting Obama with a gun, while running for office.
The idiotic words already came out of his idiotic mouth.
Nah. It was kinda funny to me.
Will our side EVER learn?
Honestly.....
Another Republican takes a stupid pill. No one with a brain makes jokes about shooting the President...or anyone else for that matter. These fools need to THINK before they speak. They are doing big time damage to the Republican/Conservative brand.
Why are we putting the heavy yoke of the double standard on our own shoulders? Why can’t we say the same things about zer0 that the fascist rats said about Mr. Bush for eight stinkin’ years? Why do we have to tiptoe around those scumbag rats when they’re raping and pillaging our country right in front of our eyes? It’s time to grow some rhinoceros hide when it comes to criticism coming from those who would destroy us with our own civility. Time for the gloves to come off, time to let loose of our ankles and stand up to the evil liars who will bleed us dry and leave our country a desert when it should always be a fertile jewel.
We can say any darn thing we want. If they whine and moan about it, laugh at them, for they are risible.
much ado about nothing, as usual.
O has put tags on America’s veterans and senior citizens.
He’s ready to hunt us down and consign us to the Hemlock Society.
He’s actually elevated Dr. Kevorkian to White House Elder Care Czar.
