He’ll go after Rush, Beck, Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, FOX news.

And Jim.

He has money, power and a mandate to de-construct America, by removing such favored people he creates antagonism, he wants America to become divided along racial and party lines.

Its easier to then attack the smaller herds.

We must become the BIG WHOOPASS HERD, the MOTHER of all HERDS, unstoppable, period.

When they ran this on foxnews I didn’t get it, but the title of this article makes the point.

Sure the guy probably does deserve to be shot, but with all Obama is doing to protect foreign terrorists...it makes you wonder why it’s ok to kill a US Citizen without due process.

This is incredible. I may have to visit the DU to see how they are responding...this *should* be giving them fits.

Can’t trust Salon.

How about the New York Times or Washington Post?

Its one think to kill an enemy on the battlefield (even an American citizen) its another altogether to authorize the assassination of an American citizen outside of a military action.

Instead, in Barack Obama's America, the way guilt is determined for American citizens -- and a death penalty imposed -- is that the President, like the King he thinks he is, secretly decrees someone's guilt as a Terrorist. He then dispatches his aides to run to America's newspapers -- cowardly hiding behind the shield of anonymity which they're granted -- to proclaim that the Guilty One shall be killed on sight because the Leader has decreed him to be a Terrorist.

From Salon, no less.... I think the reality of the guy they married at the quickie Vegas wedding has begun to sink in....

Mr. Awlaki is an operative of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the affiliate of the terror network in Yemen and Saudi Arabia

If we can't get him in America, he should be targeted ... wherever he is.

No, but it's an interesting piece nevertheless, because of the venom directed toward The 0ne by this denizen of the left.

DU has the NY Times article posted, but not one response to it. They must have their heads in the sand on this one.

That seems obvious enough.

If an American citizen acts as an enemy combatant, he should bear the same risks as any other enemy.

So when will we hear the left cry, "Obama's a war criminal and should be frogmarched out of the White House and into The Hague"?

It’s called “selective indignation”.

Obama probably dreaded getting embarrassed by this guy.

The point is being made that an American citizen is being targeted for assassination (i.e., complete denial of all Constitutional rights) away from the battlefield solely on assertions without the barest of judicial proceedings.

Of course, had the target been Sarah Palin, Greenwald would have had no problem with it. Only the killing of terrorists could upset him.
