Lester Maddox would so love that cover.

5. How sick! What is wrong with these people?

I am so scared for Obama. Isn't there some way these people can be arrested for racial threats or incitement?

I truly hate this.

6. Offensive ... yes. Inflammatory ... yes

Scary. 40 years since RFK was gunned down ... ya know some right wing fruit cake out there is thinking about it. No one needs to be providing visual stimulation for those sick fucks. Forgive me if I sound a little paranoid about this ...

Not "in the crosshairs," it's a f**king center heart/aorta KILL SHOT

Putting Obama in the crosshairs is beyond offensive. Making sure the graphic says "Shoot Here" is something for which I don't even have words.

[Kajsa]

8. "Offensive" ?!?- understatement of the year.

Imagine GW in that photo-

Secret Service would be all over it.

Why was it even allowed on a cover?
i.e.
does it not advocate violence?
