The FOX Nation Wants President Obama DEAD!

Fox Nation is at it again. Today they featured a story about President Obama's determination to see health care reform implemented. But in their inimitable way, they twisted the message to reflect negatively on the President. Even worse, they aroused the natural inclinations of their readers to bask in a frenzy of assassination fantasies.

The Fox Nationalists ran with a headline that read: "Obama Invokes His Death in Health Care Talks." Of course, Obama did no such thing. The article that Fox Nation linked to was an Associated Press piece on Yahoo! News. The sound bite that Fox latches onto was nothing more than a humorous aside:

"Obama joked that the political battle has contributed to the recent rise in his cholesterol...and the president noted how ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave."

So Obama did not "invoke" his death as a substantive part of the ongoing talks. But Fox Nation did. And the result was a rush of comments by Fox Nationalists who were only too happy to see the President dead.

"ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave".
This would be the best thing that could happen to the USA.

wow that's something that we can only dream about...

...So it is not Obama who invoked his own death, but Fox Nation and its clan. And it isn't only the bloodthirsty, racist, hate mongering, denizens of Fox's blogosphere who are expressing their opinions in terms that imply Obama's demise, it is also members of Congress and rightist pundits:

...In a post on Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism website, Frank Ross wrote: "Mark Steyn is always right, whether he's writing about Andrew Lloyd Webber or, in this case, the suicide-bomber-in-chief, Barack Obama.

Is it any wonder that the FBI has reported more threats against this president than any before him?

3. What the hell's wrong with the FBI

and the Secret Service. they swooped right down on a little boy in school, because he said he didn't like bush. Embarrassed and harassed him but here we have Beck, Rush and the Fox Crowd calling for the DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT AND THEY SIT ON THEIR HANDS. WHEN WILL THIS END.
