A Halloween-themed graphic featuring a zombie President Barack Obama with a bullet hole in his forehead provoked widespread outrage and the attention of the Secret Service Monday after a local Republican committee in Virginia used it to scare up interest in Halloween parade political activities.
The montage, a banner on a mass email to Loudoun Republicans, mingles seasonal images including a jack-o-lantern, a disfigured U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and a throng of flesh-hungry zombie Obama supporters.
The posterized image of a rotting, undead Obama with a bleeding, large-caliber hole an inch above his right eye prompted Democrats to cry foul and Virginia's Republican governor to denounce it as shameful and offensive.
This is a disgusting and violent portrayal of the president of the United States, said Democratic Party of Virginia spokesman Brian Coy.

But a vampire, zombie, hitler, et. al images of President Bush are perfectly ok.

Never stoop to the low antics of the bad guys.
However, this isn’t reality—it’s Halloween antics-—

It makes you wonder who in the party leadership looks at a picture of an obviously dead President Obama with a bloody hole in his head and says, “Yeah, this will be great for our ad! Let's go with it!”. I suppose we should be thankful it wasn't a noose around his neck or we would never hear the end of it...

Sure, it was stupid and inappropriate. But, we didn't hear SQUAT out of Republicans or Democrats when President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the Secretary of Defense, etc., etc., were treated to this kind of idiocy, and worse. I'd be surprised to find that conservative Republicans had anything whatsoever to do with this particular demonstration of bad taste; more likely, it's some of the artsy crowd "occupying" our cities and welfare rolls.

Even for Halloween, even for a liberal, and even for Obama, this was tacky. The point is to get rid of that evil, anti-American thug so that he can do no more damage to our country, and that requires voting the drug-addled socialist out of office. Anything that can be overplayed by the media to generate sympathy for their favorite candidate will be used against us. We need to be careful how our message is packaged, regardless of how much we despise this particular communist or communism in general.

I agree. Still, it is incumbent upon is to call this inappropriate and not to engage in it.

Actually, during the Presidential campaign three years ago the same Democrats were hanging Sarah Palin in effigy as a Halloween figure AND they were screaming epithets at her baby.
I don't think Democrats in Loudon County have any moral high-ground here.
