Va GOP hits graphic of zombie Obama shot in head
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A Halloween-themed graphic featuring a zombie President Barack Obama with a bullet hole in his forehead provoked widespread outrage and the attention of the Secret Service Monday after a local Republican committee in Virginia used it to scare up interest in Halloween parade political activities.

The montage, a banner on a mass email to Loudoun Republicans, mingles seasonal images including a jack-o-lantern, a disfigured U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and a throng of flesh-hungry zombie Obama supporters.

The posterized image of a rotting, undead Obama with a bleeding, large-caliber hole an inch above his right eye prompted Democrats to cry foul and Virginia's Republican governor to denounce it as "shameful and offensive."

1. Teabaggers won't like the VA Governor now since he denounced it.

10. Don't be too quick to claim any moral superiority.
I'm just saying that the stupid exists on both sides.

Getting overly wrought about this is a silly waste of time and energy.

11. None of those links have anything to do with the
democratic party. You seem quick to show us the (false) equivalent from the democrats, except it doesn't exist.

14. difference between elected officials playing the game and every day people playing.
you really don't see a difference? the people that set the example are the ones doing it in the repug party, enticing the people. the is NOT happening in the dem party.

moral superiority?

9. The difference is the bullet hole. That's what drew the Secret Service in.
Zombification is one thing and a very fictional one at that, but implied gun violence is wholly another.
