Even if an atheist Senator did it, I doubt that this would be regarded as civil. But these motherfuckers really believe in the power of prayer. They’re seriously trying to kill him.
I say that we treat them the way we’d treat a Muslim who tried to kill a U. S. Senator: first, waterboarding to get information about other members of the conspiracy, and then solitary confinement for the duration.
If you try to shoot someone with an unloaded gun, that’s attempted murder if you thought the gun was loaded. Because Coburn, Bachmann, Brownback, and Demint are delusional, they’re guilty of attempted murder. Murder by God.
An insanity plea is their only hope.
P.S. Robert Byrd, I mean, not Harry (1887-1966). I’m not in the Audubon Society, for Christ’s sake. They all look the same to me. (Corrected).

God’s rap sheet includes homicide, filicide and genocide – and you could never get a grand jury to return a true bill against Him in this Christian nation.

Yep. They’re seriously hoping he dies. I was seriously hoping Dick Cheney was going to keel over for some years there. I don’t feel bad about it.

But it’s OK for Coburn to hope that because Coburn is a Republican. Democrats, on the other hand, would like to do the same to ‘the left’, since there I was hoping Dick Cheney would keel over. And that’s so uncouth. (‘The left’ apparently being anyone who isn’t a Republican.)
The problem I have getting mad about it is that it’s silly: it just means they hate Democrats, quite rather like I hate Republicans. On the other hand, they do at least have the courage of their convictions, which I can understand, even I think they are wrong wrong wrong.
I don’t understand people whose sole concern is manners, and would prefer messy principle to get fucked, since it makes it so hard to be nice. Gah.
