You know, people should really stop calling for Hillary Clinton’s death. It’s creepy. And rather uncivil. Even if one well-recognized process for bringing about Unity is to slaughter all your political opponents.

Shakespeare’s Sister already called out Nice Polite Republican radio’s Ken Rubin for comparing Hillary to Fatal Attraction’s Glenn Close; in case you don’t remember, Close’s character is shot at the, er, climax of the movie. And of course, GE’s pathetic blowhard Keith Olberman envisioned a similar, Sopranos-like fate for Hillary, with “somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out”. And this post from “creative class” [cough] A-lister Matt Stoller fits right in to the same creepy pattern:

Time to Get a Killer Instinct Against Clinton
