Yesterday, from Think Progress...
The New Hampshire Republican Volunteer Coalition urged its members to make their voices heard today in Portsmouth, NH outside of a high school where President Obama was discussing health care reform. Sure enough, right-wing protesters came out not just in protest of health care, but also furiously offering the suggestion that undocumented immigrants should be sent back to their home countries with “a bullet in their head.”Here's the clip...
Think Progress notes...
Right-wing protesters have been inspiring each other by referencing this 1787 quote by Thomas Jefferson: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” One Portsmouth protester also held a sign which read “It Is Time To Water The Tree Of Liberty.”Here's a video of that protester who wants to water the Tree of Liberty.
Remember the good old days when people used to be thrown out of Bush events for having the wrong bumper sticker on their car?
Yeah, me too.

Its impossible to believe that people could be so upset. Mystifying, really.
After all, Obama's administration is the most transparent and welcoming of dissent in history. He's made such herculean efforts to gain bipartisan support, any dissent must be racially motivated.
Especially given the fact that he won the popular vote by such a large majority, its difficult to understand why so many people don't like his policies.
The key is for Democrats to continue their strategy of ridiculing and demonizing all dissent. That will surely make everyone fall in line.
And of course, we really need to start censoring talk radio.
Last but not least, declare the first Thursday of every month to be Beer Summit day. The government will take over Anheiser-Bush, and Dems and Repubs will meet in government run beer halls to make merry and settle disputes.
That guy with the gun just wanted to know what it feels like to have a sniper's 50mm Barrett aimed at his head. But we need more loons like him. There's no way the majority of reasonable people look at him with a gun out in the open waiting for Obama's caravan and not feel disgust for what he represents.
