Who will be the next to get lynched?

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ):
Trent Franks of Arizona said in a speech to conservatives Saturday in St. Louis that Obama's decision to fund international family planning organizations that support legal abortion shows "he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity."
Conservative Kitty Werthmann at the How to Take Back America conference:
If we had our guns, we would have fought a bloody battle. So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition. [...] Take back America. Don’t let them take the country into Socialism. And I refer again, Hitler’s party was National Socialism.

SurveyUSA tries VP tickets in KY

Few of the rumored Vice Presidential picks the now-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.), could add to his ticket would help him much in the Commonwealth of Kentucky in November, according to a new SurveyUSA poll.

SurveyUSA compiled public opinion figures on sixteen potential ticket match-ups from May 16 and May 18 - before Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) handed Obama a 35 point defeat in Kentucky on May 20 and prior to Obama's attainment of the requisite delegates to clinch the nomination.

The data was released yesterday.

NRA in Louisville: ‘There exists a true, genuine threat to our future’

LOUISVILLE -- Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) added to the heap of jabs being thrown towards presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) during his remarks this afternoon.

Like Karl Rove -- who took the stage earlier with a similar tact -- Huckabee referenced Obama's so-called "bitter comments" at the beginning of his speech.
