UPDATE: Now on the front page of Daily Kos: Another Obama-dissing Republican proves he has manure for brains and stone for a heart

[SoLeftIAmRight]

1. some are past redemption

this is one

[narnian60]

2. Disgusting.

[riversedge]

3. Sonnenberg needs to resign NOW

[33taw]

5. Unlikely, those are some of the most red-neck counties - they will support him even more.

[angka]

15. Unfortunate but likely true.

[TipTok]

20. Meh...

While I'm sure he enjoys your outrage, it isn't that big a deal.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Republicans are trolls.

[Hekate]

6. Heartless sons of bitches

[C_U_L8R]

7. Apparently Republicans don't cry

at the slaughter of innocent children.
Assholes.

[philosslayer]

8. Sounds like he needs a visit

From the Secret Service

[GGJohn]

18. For what?

Who is he threatening?
It's a disgusting photo, but who or what is he threatening?

The only threat I see is the threat to the function on that rifle, oiling it with salt water is not exactly conductive to the well being of a firearm.

[Abouttime]

21. Bullshit!

This is a threat and it inspires violence against our country and our president.
This SOB belongs behind bars!
I cannot believe how an insignificantly small percentage of posters on this site will go to any length to support the worst of the gun humpers.

[GGJohn]

22. As you said, Bullshit.

Who or what is that photo threatening besides the function of the rifle?
You truly believe this warrants a visit by the SS?
I'm always amazed at the zealots that want to jail someone on some bullshit charge, and BTW, that photo is protected under our 1A, something zealots seem to forget.

[beevul]

25. 'College Safe space' syndrome.

Popular speech never needed protecting in the first place, people seem to forget that here and there.

[GGJohn]

27. Eggzactly. eom.

[Abouttime]

32. This is criminal

The only zealots are the teahaddist and ammosexuals making threats. In this day and age where every mass causality event has a social media component?!!
The right thing to do is crack down on these thugs & domestic terrorists.
Threatening the President is not free speech, an example needs to be made here.

[GGJohn]

33. The only crime here is putting salt water on the action of that rifle.

Where in that photo is there a threat to the President?

[Judi Lynn]

9. These losers are all alike. They are embarrassingly stupid, loud, ignorant. phony,

and can't control themselves, won't control themselves. Ugly, pathetic wastes of dank, smelly, floppy flesh.

10. These people literally make me sick

[dhill926]

11. piece of shit.....

[rockfordfile]

31. He sure is a republican pos

[AleksS]

12. Two thoughts:

Two thoughts:

1) What a vile human being. You have to be pretty messed up to make gun jokes about how President Obama can actually feel something other than right-wing-ammosexual-gun-glee when talking about kids getting murdered. Perhaps it's jealousy since this rep. so obviously does not have a human heart?

and, on a completely different note,

2) He's pretty stupid about gun maintenance. I'm not a gunner, but I do know that in general, replacing oil with salt water is a bad idea. He's really not treating the gun well. Maybe if we all send him some cans of salt water, he'll destroy all his own guns. (Send him some bigger cans and maybe he'll jack up his car too!)

[Democat]

13. Perhaps a reaction to "White Tears"

As seen on DU.

[trillion]

14. Republicanism is a sickness. I'm not kidding.

It's a violent sociopathic one.

16. Now front page of Daily Kos

17. That description of Obama meeting privately family by family at Sandy Hook is fabulous.

What a kind human being he is. Thanks for posting.

[Sunlei]

19. Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg makes 'jokes' about grief over slaughtered 2nd graders.

[niyad]

23. I am not surprised. there isn't a puke in this state, at any level, with an atom of

integrity, intelligence, conscience or empathy.

[Matariki]

24. Everyone who cares should send that guy photos of the kids killed at Sandy Hook

every day for a year.

It's incomprehensible how many cold assholes are in this country, much less in government

[Buzz Clik]

26. Let's lube that rifle by shoving it up Sonnenberg's ass.

Just a thought.

[GGJohn]

28. Eeewwww.

The mental picture of that is awful.
Now, off to the psychiatrist for therapy.
Thanks a lot you cretin.

[Gawdless Pinko Lib]

29. Problem is.....

I think he'd like that.

[Buzz Clik]

30. Okay. Not touching that one.

I get in enough trouble around here as it is.

[gembaby1]

34. I'm still in shock about the right-wing reaction

HOW can anyone react like that?

Republicans, people in your country are dying and all you can do is bitch about the president's entirely appropriate response of crying for those people.

I've always said that they are playing a game called "Let get our party in no matter what, ends always justify the means".

You know, if these right-wingers had an ounce of compassion, honesty and cared about others they would recognize this as a serious existential threat to the United States.

Sorry, it just makes me sick to see this stuff.

35. Filthy commie!

Gee Senator Sonnenberg, did you think no one would notice you're lubricating an AK-47 lower receiver with whatever was cheap at the gun store this week?
