I was quoting that article mainly for the points (directed at PH and that other guy) about the constitution thumpers and the right to free speech.

But you're right: it's about the guy's action. It's a scary action, and defending it as a political matter is a scary thing to me. I do believe that the seemingly innocent talk about "overthrowing" the government if need be is a misguided and medieval notion. Notions such as this have brought too many wars and death.

I must admit, not unlike the bullied, I have no place or compassion for violent behavior, especially towards women...so my reaction may be harsh. I was literally sick to my stomach seeing that clip. It can't be made shiny and pretty, no matter how anyone tries to paint it.

But "trying to give him something" reminded of an old Jack Handey: I bet a nice gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver, but since he's so busy you would have to run up to him really fast to give it to him." *snort*
