Dan Savage: Bachmann and Beck actively trying to get Obama killed

[RamboLiberal]

“I reallly do think that the Michele Bachmanns of this world and the Glenn Becks of this world are actively and consciously — or subconsciously — trying to get — I’m just going to say it — trying to get the president killed,” Savage stated angrily. “That’s why they’re setting this up as kill-or-be-killed arguments. ‘He’s going to kill your grandma.’”

“Somebody’s got to put the brakes on it, and unfortunately in the Republican Party, there are no adults left in the room,” continued Savage. “There are only the Michele Bachmanns and the Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs running the show.”

Olbermann disagreed with Savage to the extent that “I think some of them who oppose (health care reform) are not of that thinkiing … but, unfortunately, a lot of who you’re talking about, you’ve nailed them perfectly.” He then turned the discussion to the ways in which even mainstream Republicans in Congress are attempting to sabotage any possibility of health care reform.

1. I think that every right-winger is out there trying to incite the crazies

It seems to me that they are picking up where they left off with Clinton, ironically the last Democrat in the WH. It creeps me out the extent to which they are whipping people into the frame of mind where some people might feel so threatened that an act of violence by them to us would seem like justifiable self-defense to them. Most Republican Congressmen such as Tom Coburn are outright suggesting that Obama is bringing this on himself and if and when another tragedy like OKC bombing or some other right-wing domestic terror attack against the government happens they will, of course,
all refuse to acknowledge any shred of responsibility for helping encourage it.

2. They long for someone ELSE to carry out the deed.

Classic chickenhawks.

3. Glenn Beck is indeed trying to get someone to do something crazy.

That man is evil.
