Rachel Maddow, Frank Schaeffer Discuss The Latest In Thinly-Veiled Evangelical Christian Obama Death Threats

“There are extremists on both sides, but sorry Jonathan, that is not the issue here. The fact is, Democrats in positions of power find left-wing extremism deplorable and openly condemn it whenever it surfaces. Republican politicians, however, openly use the extremists on their side to win elections.­..which is itself deplorable. Eric Cantor and John Boehner stood 15 feet away from a guy who was holding a large picture of a pile of Holocaust victims which read "National Socialist Health Care" at Bachmann's little Tea Party rally. Boehner punted and said he didn't see the sign, and Cantor just said the sign was "Inappropr­iate"...si­ckening.”

“Good point. There are fewer persons in power in the GOP who will condemn extremists in their ranks. John McCain is one, and he gets booed by his own supporters when he does so. Boehner is a shallow opportunist and nothing he does surprises me. Bachmann is bat$#!t cr@zy. Is she considered a leader in her party? May the gods have mercy.”

“I was pretty sure most fast food franchises either broke even or lost money on their food, the real cash cow is the soda, which is 99.99% profit for them.”

“The next time you're in a bar and pay $3 to $5 for a beer, realize it costs Miller, for example, $1.40 to make a case of their so called beer. And that is about average. Most of the cost @$1.00 is for the packaging and labor.”

“He must've gotten a lot of email complaining about that statement, and so he flipflopped.

He was for it, before he was against it.”

“That was "good" Billo - same one who wrote the Parade Magazine piece a couple months ago, praising Obama as a great role model for American kids. To stay on top, you've gotta work both sides of the crowd.”

“"I do it to protect the children"

I wonder if this "judge" ever asks a couple if one of them is alcoholic before they receive a marriage license, if he cares so much about kids he should at least ask a pertinent question.”

“speaking as a resident of florida in 2000 and a resident of ohio 2004, I can honestly say that George Bush didn't win either election.

“Man it certainly is sad to see someone squirming from the knowledge that they've enabled the murder of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans. George Bush gave two droplets of excrement about Afghanistan for eight years and you have the gall to complain about the situation now? After eight months? Wow pathetic..­.denial is a powerful thing.

Ok, here are it is plain and simple from one simpleton to another: General McChrystal is a field General...­.I know your mother probably dropped you on your head a few times so I'll explain it without SAT words as you so thankfully did for me. Presidents don't generally speak to field generals..­.it's called the chain of command, and it's there for a reason. Joint Chiefs, Secretary of Defense, etc. Do these terms mean anything to you? Please reply back once you graduated from sixth grade civics in june, I'll be happy to educate you further.”

“Let me make this super simple for you, Obama has not talked to his Generals on the ground in 70 days. This is bad, there is a war going on and for the president not to talk to the leaders of the war for 70 days is bad. Since your a simpleton I tried not to use big words. So go smoke some pot and stop playing with yourself.”
