Personally, I think any self respecting, intelligent citizen, of the united states, wouldn't even give such repugnant behavior a single solitary thought. Often, one jokes about the true feelings that lie deep within their hearts. If your in a group of people and someone starts making sexual jokes, more than likely, the initiator is trying to get across to a member of the group, their hidden desires for them, through the guise of a (joke.) A raciest person also operates similarly in this fashion. It helps them to find like minded individuals by using the (guise) of a joke. It's really a feeling out process of sorts.

There is a line we must draw in the proverbial sand, and joking about assasination (of anyone) is definitely on the wrong side of that line.
That girl is certainly not a good rep of Republicans anywhere and I think they would agree.
Note to Hello - No it wasn't ok with us!
Note to How would I know - that video is a piece of crap written by a piece of crap in my opinion.

No, it is only politically correct to joke about assassinating leaders who are "enemies." You can joke about assassinating Taliban and Al Quada leaders allllllll you want.

Yeh, it would be really funny if it did happen and Americans would be shooting other Americans. Or even a race war.

At a minimum, it's not a bright thing to say, even though he followed up with "don't do it".
But I guess he should do like the lefties and Make A Movie about killing the president and then sell tickets to other lefties....see, that's OK.

Apparently it is because while Bush was in office there was a book written about assassinating him. It was later made into a movie and was shown at one of those film festivals.
