Since I know someone will be calling for a link to my claim, here it is:

And the money quote:

“Since when can you call for the killing of the president of the United States?” demanded City Councilman Charles Barron.

My ex-alderman, Dorothy Tillman, famously brandished hers in the council one time. I wonder, do New York councilmen enjoy the same privilege? Some of them have said some pretty loopy things.

Doesn't everyone know that President Obama did not WRITE the Spendulus bill? He SIGNED the Spendulus bill. The cartoon is obviously equating Nancy Pelosi and the others who wrote the bill to crazed chimps. Not very funny buy hardly insulting of the President. Unless you are part of a Community Based Reality. I will never understand the hate mongers on the left. Doesn’t everyone know that President Obama did not WRITE the Spendulus bill?
