Wisconsin GOP chairman refers to "executing Obama"

[Green_Lantern]

Some may argue he meant Osama but after 3 times? I'm thinking it's intentional

"Feingold had mentioned that he thought that it would be good if we captured Obama in the battlefield setting and that he suffered the quote-unquote ultimate punishment there," Priebus told reporters while attempting to explain that Sen. Feingold (D-Wis.) was "out of the mainstream" because of his opposition to using capital punishment -- even on Osama bin Laden -- as a tool of the American criminal justice system.

"I find this point that he's made to be completely disgusting. I think it's offensive to the people of Wisconsin, I hope he has an explanation as to why he thinks Obama ought not to be executed and why he thinks we ought to bring Osama bin Laden to the United States that he should be captured alive and actually have a trial," Priebus said later.

Probed by reporters on how Republican Senate candidate Ron Johnson would feel on these issues, Priebus surmised that he would also favor the execution of "Obama."

This guy knew exactly what he was saying

[AlinPA]

1. This kind of talk by republicans is becoming more frequent. The nutcase teabaggers are going to act

on this talk because they will believe it is the party line.

[ixion]

2. And yet whose homes are the FBI raiding? Why, anti-war protesters, of course

:puke:

[MadMaddie]

3. Because they are afraid of the Christian Right and they the

government is so fucking scared that another WACO will happen.
Because of this timid approach the Christian Right/Repugs/Teabaggers do not feel threatened. Beck/Hannity/Coulter/Limbaugh all of them crossed the line along time ago. The abortion dr getting assasinated was just a glimpse of what's to come....

6. nail meet hammer

[Rex]

8. I have a theory on this and it is that liberals are not about to build

a compound and line its walls with machine guns nor try and kill federal authorities in a raid. The FBI is acting like a bully toward the Left and scared out of their minds of the Right.

[ixion]

9. I think there's something to that... the idea of an easy target

but I also think that the FBI is largely a right-wing-oriented entity.

[Green_Lantern]

11. nah I think it's because unlike Islamist extremists these fanatics

Are all talk. When was the last time a Christian stabbed a cartoonist for drawing a picture of Jesus.

[Green_Lantern]

12. they raid the houses of Islamist extremists too...

nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. Not even a subtle dog whistle, is it?

[Scurrilous]

5. What an @#$%. n/t

[applegrove]

7. I think they have so much on their mind what with the dual realities they

are living (real reality and the corporate/richperson/gop narrative) that they just make mistakes with words.

[LeftinOH]

10. On bumper stickers from the last election: "Obama in '08/Osama in '09",

and "What's the difference between Obama and Osama? One letter". There are Repubs who repeat this mantra so often they truly believe it.
