I had to delete a previous post written in haste, in which I accused Greg Palast of advocating the assassination of Bill Frist. He did not do that, and I thought it would be irresponsible for me to leave it up.
What I thought I saw (via a link from my blogfather Jeff Soyer) was columnist Greg Palast apparently wishing for the assassination of Bill Frist:
It’s not nice to say, but there’s only one way to stop Doctor Death. In 2008, I hope to see the headline, “Senator Frist Slain in a Hail of Ballots.”
Ballots are not bullets.
Accordingly, my post was deleted in a deliberate, intentional coverup. (Rather than cover up my coverup, I thought I should write this post.)
My apologies for any confusion created by my mistake.

WARNING!: It is AGAINST THE LAW to assassinate a Senator — you will get THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!! Beware! Beware!
Why is Pallast so down on Frist? Given that Frist broke with Bush on both stem-cell research and creationism-as-science, perhaps we should be looking for a more dangerous wingnut to pick on. (I hear Alan Keyes wants two of Michael Jackson’s former jurors jailed for doing their duty.)
I’m not a Palast reader, but this was about gun control.
Greg Palast is a columnist?! For a real newspaper? Is their circulation too high? Do too many of their conservative and moderate readers trust them?
