"Smiting" the President
I don't advise this because during
the GW Bush years, you were arrested
if you even posted about thinking
about "smiting" the President.

Not now, no, there seems to be no
arresting all the yahoos wearing guns
in the vicinity of Obama and carrying
signs about killing him or his family.

I remember, early in Bush's first year
when two journalists were fired from
their jobs for denouncing the policies
of the Big Yahoo, Mr. Stupid himself.

Not now...where is the justice in
not arresting those who openly want this
and his family dead

Can we get some justice in this country??

2. No Justice
The problem is the media. They are mostly controlled by the right, and are unable to work up the same degree of outrage when confronted with threats or loaded weapons near President Obama. I remember when some guy shouted, "Fuck you, Mr Cheney!" at Dick, who was looking at Hurricane Katrina damage, and the police grabbed him and threw him into the back of a police car, where he was held until Dick moved on. I doubt the same thing would happen now.

The media's coverage of the protesters at Democratic town hall meetings makes me physically ill. The media more or less gives them legitimacy when it refers them to as ordinary Americans merely expressing their personal opposition to health care reform. This is a lie and the media knows it. Shame on them.
