It's Always Democrats and Black Men Who Die
John F. Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy. Malik el Shabazz (Malcolm X). Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nixon wasn't murdered. Neither was Reagan, although somebody tried. Gerald Ford had a gun pointed at him but Squeaky never got off a shot. Nobody took any pot shots at Bush Sr. or Bush Jr. Cheney still lives his evil existence. The talking heads at Fake Noise are still busy lying and distorting and faking their way through one broadcast after another, spewing hate and misinformation like sewage from a drainpipe, and that bloated oaf, Limbaugh, is still farting into his microphone.
No. These Republican assholes are alive. Four of the greatest men who ever lived are dead. And, we have these ignorant, stupid, vile human beings showing up at town hall meetings with nazi symbols and signs and posters calling for the death of President Obama.
I've lived to see four of the greatest men of any generation murdered. Unless we Americans stand up to this rampant racist facism that has taken over our country, we may all be witnesses to another murder. Or more murders. It's time for people to stand up to these evil people and evil forces in our midst.
I, for one, am not going to stand by idly if I see someone carrying a hate sign. I'll go to jail first.
Sadly you will likely get that opportunity to go to jail soon enough. If so you could hardly do better than just recite to that someone what you have just written here. Once upon a time you and I had the right to say these things in public without fear of retribution. That seems so long ago now.

We have a serious problem with equality in this country. I'll never forget how all the kids in the school I went to all wore JFK buttons when he was running for president. Or how I cried when JFK was killed. I was 14 and too young to actually understand any of this at the time, still don't really, but I do know it is messed up. I know there are people who are happy the people you mention were killed. I would have thought that at least there is justice if somebody did Bush. Bush is the first president I can say I hated.

We might want to look into tempering the hate and fear that ripples out of networks like Fox Ruse.

Can't do it. Nope. Sorry.
There's nothing you can do about racism except raise your kids right. There's nothing you can do about racists holding signs. It's called free speech, and it's protected. For very good reasons. The ACLU marched with the Nazis in Skokie, Illinois, and I'm glad they did. The law works both ways when it works for US.
It's not completely bad that these idiots are making idiots of themselves. They're holding their light on a hill to shine to all. And it's always good to know who your enemies are, instead of having them hiding.
Listen: Obama is at risk, and the Secret Service is working triple overtime protecting him, but there's nothing we can do about it. Save yourself the time in jail and just laugh in their faces when you see signs like that. Laugh really loud, and make sure they know you're laughing AT them.
