Yes, they objected, but not before it had gone viral. Someone should be arrested for this horrifying posting.

It was ugly, sick and twisted. I just don't understand the republican party anymore.

I think we've gotten to the point now that these things are done deliberately, the apologies are insincere, and all the publicity just garners more exposure. Some people are going to get mad…some people are going to think it's funny… Okay! Waiting for Godwin's Law to kick in…

#2 - Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:54 PM EDTWow, blatantly unnecessary. Completely out of line.
(Before the righties come in here and say 'well what about the assassination movie of Bush' "Death of a President was a film made in Europe, not by US Democrats. It too was completely out of line. )

This is beyond sick. It's beyond disgusting. It's beyond time to vote these insincere, obstructionist, party of "no", racist bastards out of office!
I'm so disgusted I can't see straight.

#5 - Tue Nov 1, 2011 11:13 AM EDTApparently the Secret Service is aware of it. They were asked, and said we are aware. In another article this morning, the group that put it out were denying it was supposed to look like bullet hole.

*LOL*
If the wound were something lower velocity - the skull would have cracks radiating from the point of impact caused by the dissipation of force as the objet struck.
If we're going by the laws of physics, then that hole is the exact mirror of a high velocity rifle round.
Come on now, just admit it was in poor taste, but don't lie to us.
