NYT columnist jokes about assassination of Trump

[Text Drivers are Killers]

The career of this "journalist" should end right now, but we all know nothing will be done to him. Libs are allowed to call for assassination of conservatives.

feb 25 2016 New York Times columnist Ross Douthat caused outrage after he joked about how an assassination attempt could end Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
“Good news guys I’ve figured out how the Trump campaign ends,” Douthat tweeted last night.

The tweet links to a video clip from the 1983 movie The Dead Zone, which features a character played by Christopher Walken attempting to gun down a political figure played by Martin Sheen.

In the plot, Walken’s character tries to kill the US Senatorial candidate (played by Sheen) because he has visions of him becoming president in the future and starting a nuclear war. Sheen’s character holds up his baby as a human shield during the assassination attempt, destroying his credibility.
While joking about an assassination attempt on any public figure is crass, it’s particularly relevant with Trump because he faces a very real threat of being targeted.

Maybe he's heard about the fatwa.

Trump, remember- did applaud the story of a whole bunch of Brothers being massacred with pigs-blood soaked bullets. Isn't that kinda calling it ?
Perhaps he's trying to get into the WH for his own personal safety.

Nah democrats get assassinated by gun nuts

Yes, but Trump is advocating a free-for-all. He might even get done by a disaffected Republican.

Atlanta Jewish newspaper calls for Obama assassination

Israel should send Mossad agents to assassinate President Barack Obama because of his anti-Israel policies, the owner of a US Jewish newspaper wrote in an article that drew widespread condemnation on Friday.

Andrew Adler, the publisher of The Atlanta Jewish Times, wrote a column that appeared in his newspaper on January 13 in which he argued killing the president might be justified because he posed a threat to the Jewish state.

“Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel’s existence,” Adler wrote.

“Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don’t you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles?...How far would you go to save a nation comprised of seven million lives...Jews, Christians and Arabs alike? You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table.”

The story, which appeared in print only, was uploaded to the Internet by Gawker, a gossip news website, on Friday and immediately picked up by media outlets in the US and around the world.

Adler expressed contrition to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in the aftermath of the uproar, saying “I very much regret it, I wish I hadn’t made reference to it at all.”

When people do this in your threads, you tell them to start a new thread, don't you?

It's a response to this comment, yurt: "Libs are allowed to call for assassination of conservatives."

It might be free speech but IMO it's still wrong.
