The original joke on FB went like this: Dear Lord, this year you took my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze and you took my favorite actress, Farah Fawcett. Please know my favorite politician is the president.
(I am paraphrasing because I don't care enough to look it up).
So ... in bad taste? Yes. Funny? Yes.
All I can say is that the 300,000 people who have joined the protest group must be exhausted after the last 8 years of protesting plays portraying the assasination of George Bush, T-shirt-wearing protesters with his face and a bulls' eye and too many paper mache Bush/Hitler heads for me to count.
And, of course, we only have to go back 12 years or so to remember the lovely moment when Alec Baldwin called for the populace to storm Henry Hyde's house.
I spent 8 years hearing that dissent was the highest form of patriotism. And now the entire media (and about 300,000 people on FB) act like those who are against the POLICIES of President Obama are one Glenn Beck monologue away from losing it and blowing up a building. It's dissent when the left does it and "dangerously violent" when it's the right?
Please. Get a life. Then get a sense of humor. And then grow a pair.
