Update:

We all know they’ve been after the Joooos as well, and the assailant was a little better shot this time. Two worshipers were shot today at a synagogue in Los Angeles. From Fox News online:

The victims, identified as 38-year-old Mori Ben-Nissan and 53-year-old Allen Lasry, are said to be in good condition at local hospitals.

The men, both members of the synagogue, had arrived at the partking lot in separate cars shortly before 6:30 a.m. when the gunman approached one and, without speaking, shot him and the other man

The sad thing? The hate is an everyday occurence – sort of like a G-20 protest rally or a RAINBOW / PUSH meeting.

Michael Bloom, 30, an Orthodox organizer with Hatzolah, a Jewish volunteer medical response team, grew up in the diverse neighborhood. He said there had been instances of Jews being insulted as they walked to the synagogue on the Sabbath.

“This has been going on for years. Everything from “death to Israel” to “dirty Jew,”‘ he said. “There are gangs in the area. It’s not the safest neighborhood.”

One of the problems with the meme that conservatives are prone to turn their passion into violence is the fact that we respect the rule of law and value order. On the other hand, as they have proven time and time again, foamy-mouthed liberals are not burdened with that belief.

As the lefty nutjobs view it, second in command to Dear Leader is Keith Olbermann. Like any good pooch, Olbermann has taken his marching orders from the White House very seriously and is coordinating the ground game in the War On Those Who Disagree (not to be confused with an Overseas Contingency Operation, because Obama is actually paying attention to the War On Those Who Disagree). At any rate, Lou Dobbs has been always been a particular point of emphasis for the servile Olbermann (partly because Dobbs said that Olbermann was “hanging from a highly medicated string”), and on the morning of October 5th he was finally able to enlist some foot soldiers in his effort. From Joshua Rhett Miller of Fox:

A gunshot was fired at the New Jersey home of CNN’s Lou Dobbs after a series of threatening phone calls earlier this month, the host told listeners on his nationally syndicated radio show.

I gotta hand it to Olbermann, he has learned the benefit of thuggery from the best Chicago has to offer. I mean, to Dobbs, the threatening phone calls are just routine.

Dobbs continued, “But this shot was fired with my wife not, I don’t know, 15 feet away, and we had threatening phone calls that I decided not to report because I get threatening phone calls.”

At least Dobbs is aware of the high stakes of Obama and Olbermann’s war.

Dobbs, who claimed the “national liberal media” has in part created a hostile environment regarding immigration, said enduring such incidents has become a “way of life” for him.

“It’s become a way of life — the anger, the hate, the vitriol — but it’s taken a different tone where they’ve threatened my wife,” he said Monday. “They’ve now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car.

“It’s become something else. And if anybody thinks we’re not engaged in a battle for the soul of this country right now, you’re sorely mistaken.”

Looks like Obama has fostered a “new tone” all his own. Although Olbermann is likely sorry the shooters missed, I am not. America needs differing views, and America needs to understand how fully this White House and its lackeys in the media have embraced Chicago Thuggery. I guess it is revenge for being picked last on the playground and being part of the Wedgie A Day Club, but it sure isn’t the way to run a country.
