Say What?

I was watching 'Meet the Press' this morning and saw this image on a clip recorded before or during the New Hampshire town hall meeting held by President Obama. Host David Gregory, normally a wimp on that show, asked the two republicans on his panel, former Congressman Dick Armey and Senator Tom Coburn, if the threats and fear mongering were getting out of hand. Both insisted that we need to understand where people like these protesters are coming from. Neither condemned the violence called for by this sign.

How is it possible that political debate has gotten to the point where prominent national political leaders would accept this behavior without condemnation? Whether it is from the far left or the far right, can't we all agree to condemn this kind of behavior? If we can say "it's time for bloodshed" isn't it a matter of time until there is?

God Bless America.
