Gotta love American politics.

The USA, where a "moderate" Republican can speak at an extremist hate group's rally and call for Obama's death, and claim he was "just joking"

Bonus points: His official spokesperson clarified that OF COURSE when Senator Perdue says

"Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth."

that NATURALLY isn't praying for death and destruction, no, no, not at all. She then added "we should add the media to our prayer list".

The threats are barely even dogwhistling, at the moment.

Doesn't matter if it were a joke. Secret Service needs to investigate anyway. Preferably in the form of a long, painful talk on the nature of civic responsibility.
