Think Progress has cause an histaria of a huge magnitude over a minor, razor thin assertion that Perry was suggesting "violent" in response to Benny Bernanke, that the media is calling over the top.

Think Progress:

PERRY ON BERNANKE: ‘I DUNNO WHAT Y’ALL WOULD DO TO HIM IN IOWA BUT WE WOULD TREAT HIM PRETTY UGLY DOWN IN TEXAS’

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who entered the presidential campaign on Saturday, appeared to suggest a violent response would be warranted should Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke “print more money” between now and the election. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treasonous in my opinion.” Treason is a capital offense.

1. Talking Points Memo suggest this. "Perry's ruminations about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's "treasonous" behavior."
2. Washington Post suggest this. "He was referring to remarks he made Monday night in Iowa that Bernanke would be committing a “treasonous” act"
3. NYU economics professor Nouriel Roubini tweeted of Perry's comments: "Perry's Remarks on Bernanke are criminal. This Texan thug is making murder threats on the Fed Chairman."

4. "Rick Perry Threatens Ben Bernanke" from the Economic Policy Journal

5. Anyways, you get the point.

I mean, come on was it this over the top to the point of calling it (and mis-quoting it) Murder threats, appeared to suggest violent response , or to quote it as "committing a treasonous act"?
Or to say "BUT WE WOULD TREAT HIM PRETTY UGLY" as a violent threat




Just a few quotes from the left with in the last 4 years, or so, of Bush's Presidency:


-“But Bush committing treason in a time of was by outing Valerie Plame and her cover Brewster -Jennings & Associates is OK I suppose.”
-"President Bush committed political treason today"-Move On
-America yawns as President Bush committed treason- Huffington Post
-Bush committed treason, outed Valerie Plame
-George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, was indicted Monday on charges of high treason. The charges, filed by Attorney General Russ Feingold (which was tossed out)- NY Times
-Krugman saying the Bushies committed treason- Free Republic
-Obama & Admin: "Officials to Keep 'Boot on Neck' of BP"
-Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,"
