I'm really not worried about what most conservatives and conservative Christians "get". What worries me is the lone nutcase (or group of nutcases) that sees this quote, knows the context and takes it seriously.
You know what, I think we need to outlaw Alphabets cereal. I mean what if some nutcase when eating breakfast looks into his cereal bowl and among the maze of letters sees "kill obama"?
So now we stop civil disagreement because some nut MIGHT draw a weird conclusion from a stupid T shirt. Geez, a nut can read into anything, so where do we draw the line?

Again, no disrespect intended, but please don't lose any sleep over this. I think you worries are not well-placed and the chances of such happening is minuscule. Obama is in far more danger from someone just plain ol' PO'd at him than he is from a "nutcase".

Please point out in any of my posts in this thread where I stated such t-shirts and bumper stickers should be illegal. To save you the time it would take to search it out, I will tell you and everyone else right now that I never said any such thing. It is possible, don't you agree, to be concerned about the effects of something and NOT want it made illegal. Just because I believe in freedom of speech does not mean I can't be concerned about how some use that freedom.

Oh for Pete's sake! Who said I'm losing sleep over this or anything else? This is a discussion forum - I'm discussing it!
