#1 This is just one more in a growing list of over-the-top reactions to the US and Obama's policies. I find this frightening because it seems to evidence real fear and desperation from many people not prone to such.

That this is a reaction to the total lack of leadership to confront various and sundry threats by this clique is not a surprise.

When those who are counted on to deal with crises instead foment them and try to increase their own power and wealth at the expense of all others the rest of the usually peaceful animals feel backed into a corner and turn vicious in self defense.

Where this goes and how far it goes is terrible to contemplate.

#2 Whatta maroon. Hope you enjoy your imminent not-too-friendly visit from these guys.

Seriously, folks. I yield to nobody in my contempt for the fifth-column Marxist whose presence currently defiles the Oval Office. But I am goddamned if I'd support anyone who would wish to make this empty-suited traitor into a sacred martyr. I don't want Ogabe to wind up memorialized with a 100-foot golden statue on the DC Mall; I want him driven out of the Presidency in the most humiliating manner possible, to live to a VERY old age with people pointing at him in the street and asking "gee, isn't that the guy who made Jimmy Carter look like a cross between Abe Lincoln and Otto von Bismarck?"

#3 Well said, Ricky bin Ricardo. No matter the momentary provocation, we do not go there. While Mr. Adler is correct that President Obama's approach threatens Israel, his answer is completely unacceptable.

#9 RbR,

The frightening thing is not that someone will do this, though I think the result may not be quite as neat as you propose. I don't like that idea any better than you. It's that many different kinds of people are spinning out of control due to this wannabe dictator and his regime.

I fear that there is a tipping point when all hell just might break loose. Not just here in the US but many other places due to the total lack of mature hands on the controls of the US.

#10 I don't understand under what circumstances Andrew Adler could think that his editorial was a good idea. If his goal was get America to rally around our current Moron-and-Chief and mistrust Israel, his editorial would be a good idea. The views he expresses seem to be earnestly pro-Israel. Hopefully, he was drinking. He must still be pretty stupid and not understand American very well.

#11 This was a stupid op ed!!!!!! If Mossad did this deed, it would be considered an act of war. I agree totally with Ricky's assessment. WTF was this guy thinking???? People have gone to prison for making threats like this.
