Notice the Osama-Obama gaffe. I think we are going to see a lot of this during the Presidential race.

I can't wait until Olberman gets ahold of this.

Isn't this what many people, not just 'liberals,' have advocated happen to Bush?

I cannot say I am shocked.

Name one human American, liberal or not, who has even whispered such a desire under their breath. You can't.

Anyway, what sane person could possibly envision a President Dick Cheney?

I can think of a few individuals, IRL, who have said this to me.

Some idiot on the Internet is not the same as someone speaking on a major news network.

Please cite one person that has advocated this happen to Bush on a major news broadcast (Fox, NBC, CNN, ABC).

Her comment was shocking and wrong!

A liberal would never, not even in jest.

Two Kennedys, MLK. We favor gun control, and this is why.

If some wingnut pulls a Baretta in a crowd where Sen Obama is speaking, is Fox going to claim, what? First Amendment privelage? Since when did advocating the death of one's political opponents become protected speech?

FCC needs to pull their licence. I can't believe fines get levied over an exposed nipple but people treat this as if it were nothing. Absurd.

Its very true that some idiot on the Internet is not the same as someone speaking on a major news network. But this statement is trending less and less true as each day passes.

The growth and popularity of blogs is making political coverage more personal. This has its upsides as well as its downsides, but one of its clear downsides is the apparent erosion of professionalism.

You are right, I cannot cite one person that has advocated this happen to Bush on a major news broadcast. This pundit's behavior is pretty despicable, but alas, I cannot say I am surprised.

That is very naive. Take a peek at the comments on the Daily Kos anytime the health of McCain or Cheney is mentioned let alone Bush. The Bush Derangement Syndrome is very real.
