This is something that is bound to increase as the economy continues to collapse. we can all help by tamping down the emotions of our friends and associates.
Without a responsible public this could get completely out of hand.

QuoteIt seems anxiety from the financial crisis is reaching new highs, but the tipping point for one individual came at the Lehman Brothers gym in the midst of the company's collapse.
While former Lehman CEO Richard Fuld was testifying before the House Oversight Committee Oct. 6, CNBC reported he had been punched in the face at the Lehman Brothers gym after it was announced the firm was going bankrupt. CNBC and Vanity Fair contributor Vicky Ward said Fuld was attacked at the gym on a Sunday following the bankruptcy.
Kill Him! (obama) shouts a Palin Supporter

Quote
On the heels of a McCain supporter yelling that Obama was a "terrorist" today - and McCain said nothing in response to admonish the supporter - the Washington Post reports (via ThinkProgress) that a Palin supporter at one of her rallies today yelled for Obama to be assassinated after Palin, again, told the lie that some of Obama's best friends are terrorists:
"Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," Palin said.
"Boooo!" said the crowd.
"And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'" she continued.
"Boooo!" the crowd repeated.
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.
Palin went on to say that "Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers's living room, and they've worked together on various projects in Chicago."
Palin went on?
Just like she did when speakers at her church said that terrorist attacks against Israelis were "God's judgment" for Jews having the audacity not to embrace Christianity. Just like she did when a visiting witch doctor at her church lamented the fact that, as he claimed, Jews control the banking industry and that's why Wall Street is so corrupt. Not a word from Sarah Palin when her supporters talk of killing Barack Obama. Not a word from Sarah Palin when her own church talks of the propriety of launching terrorist attacks against Jews in Israel.
In one day, McCain's supporters are so enraged by McCain's new rhetoric, calling Obama an un-American terrorist sympathizer, that McCain's supporters are now labeling Obama himself a "terrorist" and calling for him to be killed.
And McCain has no problem with this. Nor does Sarah Palin.
What should be mentioned in the same breath as those examples is the name calling from the left... McCain being a war monger and a baby killer come to mind... ::)

QuoteI would set the probability of a public hanging of members of this adminsitration within 2 years.
Possibly the life imprisonment of W.
I don't have a whole lot of confidence right now. Irrational hatred and the accompanying need for some type of revenge is hard to control.

If thats the case, then everyone better arm themselves.
Neither will political kangaroo courts and virulent character lynchings.

we need to all remember that we are citizens first, partisans last.
violence will simply not lead to greater stability.

executing your political enemies??!!

this is a lie, river. please stop with it. I have no political enemies, and I don't advocate criminalizing politics.
You above all people have been one of the most polarizing people that Ive met in the past few years.
Interestingly you don't seem to support the idea of maintaining public calm.
Do you or don't you?
I am always for public calm, peace and prosperity. I am not the peddler of hysteria here.
Good to see you have now renounced violence as part of the political process and criminalizing political differences. This is a step towards restoring our lost civility. :)
