Week of August 9, 2009 - August 15, 2009

Good grief, David Frum! Have you lost your f'ing mind?


David Frum published a piece today concerning the recent uptick in rhetoric coming from the right.

So far, so good. He then nonchalantly adds in this gem:

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.

Does he not think that there are really people out there you believe this stuff? Does he not know that even if all of it was true, there are constitutionally mandated methods to remove a president? This is disgusting. There are NO instances in a functioning democracy when it's okay to shoot a president. One last question, David: Where in the hell is your editor?
