I knew this would happen and more nuts will come out. I fear one will look to make headlines by doing something and not just talking about it.
Most on this blog have read about John Fitzgerald Kennedy but most don't know he wasn't liked by millions of Republicans. As he to campaign Republicans yelled of hate and kill. The same was done with Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy. We see the results of those out cries. I pray this doesn't happen again at lease we have the pass to learn from.
At least someone is taking that nonsense seriously.
