Right-wing media continue to hint at anti-Obama violence

First Fox Nation posts an image of a gun pointed at President Obama's head:
And now the Washinton Times joins in:
What's next, Gordon Liddy using photos of the Obamas for target practice?
(via Shakesville)

A rifle pointing at the temple our president is "a bit of a stretch"? Really?
Yeah, I get it. If it's Bush's head being targeted then that would HAVE to be deliberate but if it's Obama's head... naaah, just a little 'careless editing'.
Oh, the 'they' refers to Fox News viewers, other rightwingers, and folks such as yourself who excuse Fox in spite of its sordid history. You may want to delve into that history before excusing tidbits such as this one in the future.
As an aside (so to speak), we do you think gun sales are surging?
That's just common.
Unfortunate, yes ... but I don't want to say it's intended.
Wrong.
Twenty four years. I know what I'm talking about.
Why are gun sales surging? Because Obama drops a bomb on Wall Street, that's why!
On the other hand, by this point someone should have noticed it and corrected it, but I seriously doubt they have.
Also - 'idiot' was way too strong a word to use. I owe you an apology for that. I really shouldn't post before I've had my first cup of coffee.
Fair points, Matt. Though, I still don't trust Faux and wouldn't put it past them that this in intentional or an "oversight" like putting a "D" after Mark Foley.
And how convenient that 2 little black girls are pictures as the Chicago students killed.
"Look out everyone, there's a black man in the WHITE HOUSE!!!"
Or maybe next a talk radio witch yells and splices in gunfire sound effects.
Oops, sorry, wrong President.
As for that movie, which I've only heard about. It sounded gawd-awful to me, and WAS condemned. Overwhelming approval from whom?
It's false equivalency to the max. Frankly, it's surprising considering all the harm that Bush/co did to this country and others that there wasn't more of that during those 8 long years. But violent imagery seems to be the order of the day for the right-wing.
Now, picture of his daughters used for visual head on story about deaths of Chicago area students. WTF?? I really don't understand that. Is there a tie in because they use to attend a Chicago area school? Someone really needs to explain the logic behind that choice.
To say this obviously some sort of anti-Obama "sign" makes the left look crazy, which sucks, because there's plenty of indisputable examples of right-wing craziness to allow something like this to become a big deal. I'll be kind of annoyed if Maddow or Olbermann pick this up, and especially annoyed if it becomes a big controversy.
No, Obama's children went with the story about dead kids. Ok to raise an eyebrow or two now?
Isn't it a shame that the cowards behind these pictures aren't named. That is why they are cowards. I wonder what would happen if their children were 'used' next to an article about a father sexually abusing his children. Where is Hannity to defend the children of the President.
And if you are kind of annoyed if someone picks this up TOO BAD. Would you want your kids faces attached to something like this? Or sexual abuse? Remember, the article is about dead children......
