A Crew of Ahabs.

The left introduces assassination into the political debate. Funny how statements that would drive the left into frenzies, if made by the right, are given respect on the left. Michele Malkin rounds up the lefties daydreaming or advocating the murder of President Bush. He tasks them.

Garrison Keillor must be modeling himself on Mark Twain, but Twain had some reasons for his bitterness in his dotage. What Keillor's absolute hatred for Republicans is based on is not clear, but he is moving closer to the same kind of invective. Twain villified God and religion, Keillor is sour on religion, despite the way he hypes it on his show, but he's rabidly vicious on non-liberal politics.

A responsible person doesn't talk about murdering the president, no matter how heated the political debate becomes. Words have consequences, and the rhetoric from the Democrats has become so radical it's dangerous. Yet none of their leaders has cautioned or rebuked these people. Does no one have any courage over there?
