Those bloodthirsty, murder-enabling Democrats are at it again: at a county fair there’s a DFL booth where adults and children are encouraged to use a squirt gun to shoot water at a drawing of an elephant’s butt.
No wonder there’s so much pearl clutching and dropping down on the fainting couch over at MDE.
No, never before has anyone made such obviously thinly veiled threats to commit actual physical violence against people they happen to disagree with.
For a more complete collection of examples go to Orcinus.
For years now the indispensible David Neiwert has been documenting the rise of eliminationist rhetoric from the American rightwing.
But of course that all pales in comparison to encouraging fairgoers to squirt water at a drawing of an elephant’s butt.

Oh, Tild, you could have come up with several dozen visual depictions that would give your readers a view of what delicate sensibilities our friends on the right are and how wrong democrats are to offend them. A quick trip through Cafe Press yields things like Liberal hunting permits (http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff.10966862)(no bag limit!), calls to club liberals (http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff/166098)and the best of all, a tshirt with an elephant pissing on you-know-what (http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff/245801)!
But as you say, it all pales when viewed against a liberal wielding a squirtgun.

Of course, one can always go to Michelle Malkin or Little Green Fascists or Anti-anti-idiotism Daschhunds or any of the other most-read and most-linked to blogs of Right Blogistan to get even more of this message. Fresh calls to murder liberals arriving daily.
Great links to images, MNO. I’ll try to add some of them to the post later today when I get a chance. Thanks!

sorry for the duplication in the comment…. I’ve asked Avidor to modify this by putting Brodkorb’s face in there. Maybe MOB Parrot Mitch Berg could sit on the shoulder.
