Talk about lowering the bar.  After all, this could never be taken out of context, right?  I can see it now... Glenn Beck said that "Even David Frum thinks"

If Barack Obama really were a fascist, really were a Nazi, really did plan death panels to kill the old and infirm, really did contemplate overthrowing the American constitutional republic--if he were those things, somebody should shoot him.

Uh, is it all of them at once? Because, you know, a lot of people thought your old boss and Cheney were hell-bent on number three, and I still don't think that is an appropriate response.  (Impeachment, criminal prosecution, and incarceration were completely satisfactory.).  More distressingly, a lot of people believe this to be the case for the current president. 
Heckuva job, David.  

Dear Dems:
The message is simple.  After killing off the public option, the Republicans will try to destroy  Medicare. They were against it in the first place (see Reagan, Ronald).  That's the logical consequence of what they believe and their thugs have been advocating.  Then let them try to deny it.  
Note how that tends to frame things.

Smart president does not equal smart legislature or smart populace.
