From Americablog :

Air America gets the Secret Service while the religious right gets nothing? by John in DC - 4/27/2005 09:11:00 PM

Air America's apparently inappropriate joke about Bush and gunshots gets a Secret Service investigation but the religious talking SERIOUSLY about how Stalin had the right idea about what to do about judges when he murdered millions of people, THAT apparently doesn't raise an eyebrow. This is how dictatorship starts, folks - an extreme government starts to use its police state powers against political opponents in an arbitrary and partisan fashion. We should be in the streets demanding a similar investigation of the religious right for threatening judges.

Personally, i don't see the big deal - it's like John says above, there has been a lot worse coming from the conservatives. This was OBVIOUSLY a joke!
