When governments support gangs of thugs the government becomes one with them. Such is how matters stand today. We hear high sounding justification for murder by those who wish to reconcile mob rule with social justice. He was killed by a frenetic mob, friend, nothing more.

One man's mob is another man's government militia. I don't think you are operating in the real world. Do you understand what has been happening in Libya over the past 8 months? There was a civil war. The rebels have been fighting against Qadaffi and his loyalists, including the military. The rebel fighters have been supported by NATO who have provided air strikes, intellligence, weapons, money, and recognition. The UN has sanctioned such efforts.

The "frenetic mob" you disparage was part of the now official government of Libya recognized by the international community, including the US. The new government doesn't have an organized military force replete with uniforms, insignia etc. They are the irregulars who have been on the frontline against Qadaffi's forces. They beseiged Sirte and forced Qadaffi to flee in a huge 80 truck convoy that was intercepted by a French jet and a US drone. The "frenetic mob" engaged in the battle attacked the convoy on the ground and eventually got Qadaffi and administered justice. They did what NATO has been trying to do for months, i.e., kill him.

Do you honestly believe Obama will not formally support the efforts of union and other thugs to do his will?

They are already doing his will. I just don't buy the nonsense you are spouting that these "thugs" will take to the streets and assassinate people opposed to Obama. It is quite clear that Obama is trying to energize his base and distract the voters away from his policies and record and blame the rich and the Republicans for the country's woes. I don't think it will work.
