Rammel is a nobody, he didn't even win the primary. He's a failed elk rancher who is pissed because Idaho's actual Republican Governor Butch Otter ordered his escaped elk killed before they could spread the diseases they were carrying to the wild elk population.

Idaho Republican, governor hopeful Rex Rammell makes 'Obama tags' joke about hunting President Obama

Wow.  What an awful thing to say.  I'm a free speech kind of guy, but that is way out into the "not ok" gray.  I hope he gets to spend some time discussing his attempt at humor with a few gentlemen (or gentlewoman) from US Treasury who have no sense of humor themselves.


      Hey, Sanity;  Don't you love the way the headline is phrased, and pasted together?  Idaho Republican governor hopeful...  A casual glance could easily leave you thinking a real republican governor had said such a hateful thing.

And yeah, the Secret Service has no sense of humor about this stuff--and have the laws to back them up.

Only if English is not your primary language.

But I guess we can excuse it because he was not the Republican Governor, only a candidate to be the Republican Governor.

Yeah that is much much worse than someone saying the would like to hunt the POTUS for sport. Perspective matters after all. O'Reilly only got his panties in a twist over one of them.

Rammell isn't the first Rexburg resident who has drawn attention for making an anti-Obama comment. In November 2008, second- and third-grade students on a school bus there chanted "Assassinate Obama" after his election, prompting the mayor of this eastern Idaho town to publicly apologize

This part was slightly interesting. Wtf do people teach their kids nowadays??? my kids tell on each other for saying "stupid"....in our house that's as tough as it gets.
