Wouldn’t have been nearly as bad without the bullet head.

Idiots. I’d expect that from random kids on the intertubes, not an actual GOP county chair.

They made a nice non-apology, too.

The Loudoun County Republican Committee yesterday sent an email to its members that represented a light-hearted attempt to inject satire humor into the Halloween holiday,’’ Sell wrote. Apparently, some individuals have interpreted an image of Barack Obama that appeared within the email as intending to portray the president as a victim of a violent crime. Nothing could be further from the truth, and we deeply and sincerely apologize to the president and anyone who viewed the image if that was the impression that was left. The LCRC deplores any effort to display, suggest or promote violence against the president or any other political figure.

I’m fairly sure that a picture of Obama’s corpse, animated or no, with a bullet hole in its head really is a portrayal of him as a victim of violent crime. I mean, the defense to that is “No no, we meant shooting Obama in the head after he was dead already”, which doesn’t sound that good.
