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".

No He would not! As a Christian, I find these t-shirts offensive.

NIV version:

8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.


This is sick.

Whats the difference between what these people are doing and Islamic Extremist (Terrorist)?

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.

She's a good Christian, too....they love violence!

Um, one is wearing/selling a T shirt.
The other is blowing up buildings as a suicide bomber.

See, not too hard to comprehend, even for a Phillies fan

The real question is who owns the companies making the $ from the T shirts and bumper stickers? Are they conservative Christians?

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!
