I can say, honestly, because I have defended the right of right-wingers to have an opinion even if I disagree with it. I would have said it was vile and in bad taste. Like I said the nooses and the pictures of Obama dressed up like a native off Gilligan's island were in bad taste and vile.

Now, I did think it was okay for Ted Nugent to get a call from the Secret Service because his rhetoric was pretty much a call to arms for some people. There is a difference between being vile and in bad taste and saying things that you know damn well some person will take seriously. So I take issue with comment from people who say 2nd Amendment remedies are appropriate. That is a thinly veiled call to arms.

No one could possibly take the picture she made as a call to behead 45.
