Wealthy GOP super PAC donor Foster Friess, fresh off announcing a conversion from Rick Santorum's corner to Mitt Romney's, drew a little unwanted attention Wednesday when he used gun imagery to weigh in on the shifting state of the 2012 race.
"There are a lot of things that haven't been hammered at because Rick and Mitt have been going at each other," Friess said during an interview on Fox Business News. "Now that they have trained their barrels on President Obama, I hope his teleprompters are bulletproof."
He quickly went on to admit that he "probably shouldn't have said that."

(5,723 posts)I saw a picture here on DU of Obama giving a speach and the majority of the audience had their hands above their heads taking pictures. I don't see how they could pick out someone with a gun in a situation like that. Hopefully they never have to be put to the test.

(100,081 posts)It seems like every week some conservative jackass makes a veiled threat like this and tries to pass it off as "oh it was just a joke". I've never in my life seen so much concentrated hate and threats directed at a leader as I have seen with Obama in office. The tea party is a byproduct of this bullshit - I really fear for the second term.

Why, because it exposes who you really are?
