why is violence and death funny to these people?

and they are (wink...wink...)"not encouraging" it.

different people from washington, dc have come back to their districts and had town hall meetings, and they almost got lynched. (applause)

i assume you’re not approving lynchings, because we don’t want to do that. (laughter) said by rep. todd akin (r-mo) - think progress

rep. brad miller (d-nc) will not be hosting any town hall events this august -- instead, he's making himself available to constituents for one-on-one meetings about health care reform -- and at least part of the reason is this: his offices have received threatening phone calls, including at least one direct threat against his life. - tpmdc

obama as the joker: racial fear's ugly face. 'political' poster turns on violent symbolism - wapo

elections have consequences...but words do as well.

barack obama faces 30 death threats a day, stretching u.s. secret service. since mr obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under president george w. bush, according to ronald kessler, author of in the president's secret service. - the telegraph

the republicans want the democrats' programs to fail; they want the president to fail personally. they have made that all to clear that this is their aim ...but it isn't too much of a stretch to say that "some" in that party actually want the president to die.

where are these so called patriotic republicans on rebuking these ember stoking words? complete silence.
