If You Scream Class Warfare Often Enough...

We've had at least three very frightening incidents in recent days where deranged individuals have violently lashed out at the supposed "rich." In two cases, it was arson with the message "F%#* the Rich" painted nearby. The other case involved a man shooting up a school board meeting before killing himself. And he too complained of being poor and being fleeced by the rich who are "pyramiding the wealth for themselves."

Dr. John over at the blog Flopping Aces can't help but wonder if the ongoing Democrat attacks on "the rich" (particularly the harshly divisive rhetoric of Barack Obama and the implications of class warfare he describes) are contributing to the madness.

Examples?

Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”
Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”
Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”
Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“
Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”
Obama to supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”
Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
Obama to supporters: “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

And more.
