The power of subliminal suggestion is dangerous when applied to politics involving our president. I don't mind pictures of soft drinks and popcorn being flashed on the screens at drive-in theaters to get you to buy stuff, but this is at a level that frightens me for the safety of our president. Some yahoos in this country might take this as a direction to take, and there is precedent for this.
I hate to go to this again but imagine if Huffington or Moveon had done something similar with GWB. It would have run on Fox (and subsequent all the copycatters) for weeks.
Come-on. Mediamatters.org must have cropped V.P. Cheney holding the rifle, to save space. Wait a minute... The caption under Pres. Obama says he dropped an atomic bomb? Does that mean we have less crooks on Wall Street? I get it. Fox Nation is mad because Pres. Obama wants to help our country. Pres. Bush will be on parade against this treasonous act. Terrorism, I tell you, terrorism. Or maybe...
We all know what it means. They will deny it. Good. I see where the populace is trending. Thank you conservatives! Keep digging that hole, in the middle of the ocean.
Well, you know of someone gets an idea from this picture and acts on it, it isn't their fault...Just like it wasn't whomever's(I can't recall at the moment) fault when that yahoo down in Alabama made up a hit list based on one of their rants. Oh no, this is freedom of speech and the press and not meant to be taken seriously...right, and if you believe that, I have a bridge I'd like to show you for a very low asking price.
This is an obvious tactic called conditioning. Anyone involved in marketing, advertising, psychology, or mass communications will recognize it immediately -- subtly making people more likely to act a certain way or be accepting of a particular thought or act.
Someone needs to step in and put a stop to this before something bad happens.
Fox News is by far the most hate-based, extream right wing propaganda spewing vomit media sorce their is. any one who watches Foxvomit News for well " The NEWS!" is insane. as absure as FoX News is their is NO Excuse for a GUN pointing at President OBAMA. this is careless and irresponcabul, an insane act of stupidy.

Obama next to Jackson headlines about dropping an atomic bomb on wall street and the NAACP.
Good grief. Bunch of yahoos, indeed.
Reading your post suddenly made me hungry and thirsty. Odd.
{GA} Beacon had then-candidate Obama in its crosshairs . . . literally:
