Here is a bit of their hatemongering editorial writer Gina Perry's rantings, ending with a bit that the Secret Service may find interesting:

While chasing you with lawyers, lies, and pitchforks, Obama Thumpers will call you every name in the book. If you don’t take kindly to their way of thinking, you might be a gun-toting redneck (I still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with that), a racist, radical, or terrorist; a right-wing extremist; paranoid, dangerous, or violent. You might even be akin to one of those awful folks who opposed civil rights. (Those would be mostly Democrats, by the way.)

Character annihilation is not enough for Obama Thumpers. They want your blood and your young

The most dangerous extremist in this country is the one running it. Perhaps a bounty should be put on his head.

The last sentence is a play on earlier content in the editorial regarding wanted poster-style ads with a reward for arrest and conviction of the Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohoe. The poor phrasing of her end statement sends it way out of bounds, and into extremist territory....

6. I see you guys have got the 'bounty on his head' part of the story covered

so I can mention the 'Democrats opposed civil rights' statement in her screed. I've encountered this lame-ass argument more frequently since the election, and it infuriates me to no end. Can these people be so utterly ignorant of history? It was opposition to civil rights that prompted dixiecrats to abandon the Democratic party in droves, become Republicans, and give the GOP a base of racists in the south. The Democratic party of today bears no more resemblance to the dixiecrats of yesteryear than the GOOPers of today resemble the Party of Lincoln.
