You do realize what this sign refers to, right?
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. … God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.
So yeah, a dude with a gun calling for the blood of, I don’t know, someone recently compared by teabaggers to a fascist tyrant — that’s Secret Service worthy.
BTW, here’s a fun fact. The website on the sign the guy is holding is this, and it’s run by a guy named Aaron Russo, who produced Trading Places. No fucking shit.

The saying was apparently also a favorite of Timothy McVeigh Oklahoma City bomber. When he was arrested he was wearing a T-Shirt with Abraham Lincoln on the front and a tree dripping with blood in the back.
