http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/13/1161091/-Dangerous-deranged-desperate-GOP-Tea-Party-extremists-again-turn-to-Stochastic-Terror-methodsThe shell-shocked GOP & Tea Party's faithful extremist following are becoming even more disturbed, deranged and dangerous. One of their newest memes is to try to bring up the possibility of assassination by suggesting it indirectly.

In the Twitter exchange pictured, the person tweeted a suggestion that "You might have a president Biden soon with John Boehner as VP."
...
The most annoying part of it is that this type of "banter" sets up a type of "whispering campaign" aimed at laying the foundation for more stochastic terrorism - the old "triggering the shooters" methodology that we saw so much of in Obama's first term, when the GOP & Tea Party extremists kept using guns, targets and shooting analogies in their regular communications, accompanied by fresh, heaping, steaming helpings of hyperbole & fear-mongering - something that didn't abate after the shooting of Dr. George Tiller, but did die off a little after the Gabby Giffords assassination attempt.
A little.
Now they've doubled down on stupid, and are trying to suggest assassination as one of the likely outcomes to the re-election of President Obama.
This dangerous, deranged & deviant behavior must stop.

and should be ignored. Everything is the new Watergate to them. Nothing will chance that.
