Fox Nation is at it again. Today they featured a story about President Obama’s determination to see health care reform implemented. But in their inimitable way, they twisted the message to reflect negatively on the President. Even worse, they aroused the natural inclinations of their readers to bask in a frenzy of assassination fantasies.<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/p>\n

The Fox Nationalists ran with a headline that read: “Obama Invokes His Death in Health Care Talks.”<\/em> Of course, Obama did no such thing. The article that Fox Nation linked to was an Associated Press piece<\/a> on Yahoo! News. The sound bite that Fox latches onto was nothing more than a humorous aside:<\/p>\n

“Obama joked that the political battle has contributed to the recent rise in his cholesterol…and the president noted how ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Obama did not “invoke”<\/em> his death as a substantive part of the ongoing talks. But Fox Nation did. And the result was a rush of comments by Fox Nationalists who were only too happy to see the President dead.<\/p>\n

“ironic it would be if health care drove him to his grave”.
\nThis would be the best thing that could happen to the USA.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

wow that’s something that we can only dream about<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HEY MR. PREZ. PROMISE TO TELEVISE IT ON YOUR LAME STREAM MEDIA STATIONS,,,,, THE RATINGS WOULD GO THRU THE ROOF,,,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Promise?! Whatever it takes. I’m running out of pins for my nobama chia pet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many Americans wish we could grant you your wish<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The progressives are so desperate to shove down our throats that which we DO NOT WANT.
\nThey think they are so close, yet IF they pass it, it very well could be the literal de.ath of Obama, for TREASON.
\nHe KNOWS there is NO Constitutional authority for this take-over of healthcare.
\nGo ahead, Obama, make America’s day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OBAMA SHOULD KNOW THAT HIS THREAT WOULD ONLY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So go ahead – do America a favor<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Frankly I would call it irony if he went to his grave because of health care! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it is not Obama who invoked his own death, but Fox Nation and its clan. And it isn’t only the bloodthirsty, racist, hate mongering, denizens of Fox’s blogosphere who are expressing their opinions in terms that imply Obama’s demise, it is also members of Congress and rightist pundits:<\/p>\n

Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said the president and House Democratic leaders are asking their colleagues to “hold hands, jump off a cliff and hope Harry Reid catches them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a post<\/a> on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism website, Frank Ross wrote: “Mark Steyn is always right, whether he’s writing about Andrew Lloyd Webber or, in this case, the suicide-bomber-in-chief, Barack Obama.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it any wonder that the FBI has reported more threats against this president than any before him?<\/p>\n
