“I’m glad to see the “conservatives” here denounce this person. But there is another story here. And that is, if this was reversed, and someone had a failed plot to Kill President Bush, there would be many blog posts on liberal sights wishing they had succeded.”

That’s just dumb. No one group does less dirt or engages in less edifying behaviors than the other.

So-called Liberals call Senator McCain “McSame”, and so-called Conservatives call Senator Obama “Osama”. Equally punkish and sissified behavior.

@Greg: “The powers that be, finally have a catalyst to supplant the U.S. constitution.” Sadly that has already been done for the past 8 years.

@thomas: I thought the same thing! Nice name.

All of our lives have equal value, but I understand having harsher penalties for those who try or succeed in killing candidates or elected officials. Democracy doesn’t exist when assassins vote early.

I read this article with a bit of dread. Here’s my vision of an American nightmare. Come January our nation elects a CFR, Socialist leaning, multi-racial President. Everyone sings and dances at last America is no longer divided. (YEAH RIGHT!) He has one or two years of mediocre service as the commander in chief. After years of left and right vitriol he is assasinated. The social chaos that ensues results in martial law. The powers that be, finally have a catalyst to supplant the U.S. constitution. The last best hope for the world dies.

Thankfully this won’t happen. Thankfully our current pseudo conservative administration has not implemented the tools to destroy America from within. Thank the lord that this is just the ravings of some paranoid internet nut. Thankfully John McCain will win and save us from the doom that is looming. We will wake up and America once again be the city on the hill.

Face it. Neither one of these esteemed gentlemen is going to do what is best for America. Neither one is qualified to lead America to a better place. This is all just MY nightmare though. It could never happen right?

Okay, “planting a seed” may be strong, but is this a story about how meth destroys the brain or about how some crazies might be out to get Obama?

I live in a region that has the dubious distinction of being the meth capital of the US, California’s Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, 50 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.) If this is a story about meth, we have many stories of the carnage without mentioning the plot to assasinate a presidential candidate. Particularly with so many people clinging to their guns and their meth.

It’s as morbid as telling someone about to take a cross-country airline trip that the US is due for a plane crash.

Here’s a question for the libertarians: legalizing drugs would prevent this kind of idiocy exactly how?

Come on LaShawn! These poor guys are simply being misunderstood!
After all, who knows what kind of upbringing that they had to endure.
Why, it might not even be their fault!

Good point! – Admin

“These guys truly identify with Meth, and that dictated their behavior.”

Yup..

GusB,

Why so concerned about La Shawn planting a seed? These guys are in all the news outlets, so that seed is in the ground and well-watered.

Since, as CorbinKale mentioned, the Left has spent 4 – 8 years calling for the deaths of members of the Bush Administration, and that has resulted in absolutely NO FRUIT from those seeds, why are you so worried now?

Crazies will do what they do (Squeaky Fromme tried to kill the inoffensive Gerald Ford, for cryin’ out loud!), and it doesn’t take any suggestion from La Shawn to set them in motion.

EVERYBODY plays identity politics…but depending on with whom you truly identify dictates how you behave.
