Why don't just we drop the pretense . . .

. . . and call the Republicans what they are, that is, desperate, racist hacks who are all but calling for an attempted assassination? To wit:


The latest mailer from the Virginia GOP, in which Osama has been photoshopped to resemble Obama.



A Republican mailer in California claiming that if elected, Obama's image will grace "food stamps, not dollar bills."



Meanwhile the Sacramento County Republican Party posted a call on its website to torture Obama.



But perhaps this low-tech offering from the Republican rank-and-file says it best.
