IMAGE SEEN
The Ottawa Sun’s Earl MacRae adds to the growing number of Obama assassination fantasies:
Barack Obama is waving his arms. The crowd is cheering. I see the image I don’t want to see. I see the image that is the terrible sickness in the great republic. I see Barack Obama one minute smiling, the people crying his name. I see Barack Obama grab his chest and his eyes widen and his mouth opens and the crowd screams as Barack Obama, black candidate for the presidency of the United States of America, falls to the ground dead, an assassin’s bullet inside him.
Via Mark Steyn, who notes that - unlike pieces musing on the possibility of George Bush’s death - “Obama-assassination porn is written by his worshippers”. Nice friends you’ve got, Senator.
