perfect timing for hilarious death by kidney failure
I can't help thinking that the timing of this this "death to Limbaugh" meme is awfully suspicious. For the past week, a sizeable portion of the conservative and libertarian blogosphere have been debating whether or not to adopt leftie-style meanness and dirty fighting as a tactic, and with the debate still ongoing, what does the president do? He laughs supportively while listening to a death wish issued against one of the country's most prominent conservative voices. Might the intent might be to deliberately provoke the notorious "angry white men" into overreacting? (I haven't looked to see whether or not someone is selling "I HOPE HE DIES OF KIDNEY FAILURE" T-shirts and bumper stickers, but people are easily stirred up, and it doesn't take much to get investigated by the Secret Service.) Don't expect the kidney failure remarks to be called "eliminationist rhetoric," though. If a death wish is directed against a conservative, it's merely funny. After all, the president thinks so. posted by Eric on 05.11.09 at 08:48 AM |

But on the plus side, it just means that I, as a typical blue-eyed devil, need feel no particular guilt about not shedding a tear if anything untoward should befall our glorious leader.
Because a neutral reaction would still be morally superior to laughing about it.
