Gee, where could these nutjobs be getting these ideas? Oh yeah:

In a presciently-timed op-ed, Charles Blow warns of the disturbing escalating rhetoric of right-wingers like Chuck Norris, Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, and others.

President Obama has gone out of his way to publicly defend gun ownership and the U.S. Constitution. These twisted, irrational talking points are purely political, dangerously extreme, and have had tragic and deadly consequences.

Why irresponsible incitement to violence hasn't been addressed fully and fairly in the media and immediately corrected is beyond my comprehension.

Once and for all, this is not infotainment, it's life and death.
