Classless

Recently on Facebook I've seen a group called:

"DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN"

Wishing for the death of political opponents is pretty classless. I'm pretty sure that most of the people joining it are simply looking for a way to express their dislike for Obama's job in office. Some, of course, don't like the man himself but I honestly think that even that dislike is fueled by politics rather than who he is as a person. I thought the same thing of the majority of derision that was thrown at Bush.
One bit of irony is that this joke was started (or at least gained prominence) when it was used by a New Jersey union sent it out to its members with the last bit asking for the death of the New Jersey governor. Well, it was classless then and it's still classless now.
Get a grip, people.
