Musing openly about murdering President Barack Obama is certain to stir some attention.
So is publicly suggesting its a job for Mossad Israels no-nonsense spy agency with its long record of assassinating enemies of the Jewish state.
Yet thats just what the editor of the Atlanta Jewish Times, Andrew Adler, did in a column laying out the three options Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has when faced with Mr. Obamas unwillingness to wage war on Iran.
Option three, wrote Mr. Adler, is for the Israeli leader to give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice-president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.
With a usual readership of only a few thousand, the Atlanta Jewish Times rarely reaches beyond the Georgias genteel suburbs. But Mr. Adler now has readers worldwide.

is the kind of insane shit that's becoming the norm since Obama became President.
Remember when threatening to assassinate the President was a felony?
