This is exactly the kind of lunacy that resulted in the abortion doctor being murdered, Dr. Teller and Robert Kennedy and John Kennedy. To dismiss it as paranoia is irresponsible and dangerous.

Hmm...Just because the anti-abortion forces had a website up targeting abortion doctors, listing their home addresses and pictures and saying they were murderers and deserved to die. And then one of them actually went and did that? And they responded by having fundraisers for him?
For this, you say they are dangerous?

Nawww.....stop being paranoid.



Now, if they were Moozlims....horse of a different color, that!

Only a liberal would suggest you can't quote the bible on a bumper sticker. Second of all, I didn't interpret it that way at all. I read it to mean that hopefully he will leave office after his first term or perhaps God may remove him himself. Only a liberal would suggest it's a covert signal to assassinate him.

KUMBAYA!

That's a fairly stunning reminder... whew.

You know, the verse being referenced here (Psalm 109:8) simply reads: "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership." Pretty clear political sentiment there, to my thinking. Much is being made of the verse that follows, namely, "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow." But the verse that precedes 109:8 reads, "When he is tried, let him be found guilty," which clearly pleads the rule of law and clarifies that murder is not what is contemplated in 109:9.

The accusation being floated here ultimately rests on nothing more or less than some very selective and deceptive context-picking. Whether that reflects paranoia or deliberately contrived slander, I cannot say. But either way, it certainly fits the Psalm's opening complaint that, "wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues."
