or an aberration? We know a huge number of his supporters have no clue, but this one is a little over the top.

Don't forget, they're the socalled "tollerent" party.

So in a Liberal's eyes, throwing peanuts is the moral equivalency of a threat to commit murder?

Always remember, liquidation (murder) is one of the Progressive's planks.

In anyone's eye, which is worse--saying something inexcusable about someone when they aren't present and you have no remote possibility in the world of EVER getting near them, or saying something inexcusable about someone who's right in front of you while you throw things at them? I know it's a stretch for you, but try some common sense on this one. I promise you--it works.

We know a huge number of conservatives have no clue, but this one is a little over the top:

Alyssa Douglas @Alyssa_Douglas
Someone needs to assassinate Obama...like ASAP #DieYouPieceOf****

Daily Kos: THE CHOICE: When 16 Year-Old Alyssa Douglas Calls For The President's Assassination on Twitter UPDx4

We also know that at the time of the health care debate it was surprisingly common for opponents of the President's health care proposals to appear at rallies and public meetings, including ones at which the President was appearing, bearing semiautomatic weapons and quoting with approval Thomas Jefferson's words about the tree of liberty needing to be watered by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Are people who wish to threaten the President typical of Republicans and their supporters? I suspect not, but I don't recall a single "responsible" Republican or conservative suggesting that caution might be a good idea, or that semiautomatic weapons are not a salutary addition to the debate.

Even without listening to the video I can tell you that I do not support anyone wishing for the assassination of Mitt Romney, although the woman on the video doesn't look terribly threatening.

Will you join me in condemning similar statements with respect to President Obama?

While I will not argue that you can't find the same stupid arguments from both sides and both sides will condemn things they then support when their guy is in office, I wouldn't have picked an example from a 16 year old to offset what a delegate to the convention said.
