As Americans honored the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, a Republican candidate for Florida House District 68 said President Barack Obama should be hanged for war crimes.

"I'm past impeachment," Joshua Black wrote on Twitter. "It's time to arrest and hang him high."

The tweet caught the attention of Chris Latvala, a Republican candidate for House District 67.

"You aren't seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you?" Latvala replied. "I know you are crazy but good heavens. U R an embarrassment."

Latvala added: "I make it my business when so called GOP candidates become an embarrassment to my beloved party."

Hours after the tweet, Black defended his comment. "He should be executed for treason," Black said. "I think the appropriate punishment is death. They killed Benedict Arnold. http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/florida-house-candidate-joshua-b

See, when you can actually provide a salient example - why go with such inane images, as you did, and pretend they're equal?

You could have just made sense from the get-go.

Yes, people on both sides say incredibly stupid things like this. Yet you always seem to be in such a hurry to condemn it from one side, and excuse or ignore it from the other. Do you even ask yourself why?

Had he been captured, he was to have been executed. Under orders from none other than George Washington himself.

He only lived because he buggered off after the Brits surrendered.
