Nope. The bloggers at Powerline are already claiming he should never have been allowed to citizenship in the first place.
Over at Balloon Juice, the pool has started for when McCain and Lieberman introduce a bipartisan bill to posthumously strip citizenship from any American killed by the Israeli military.
Yes and yes, if the American is perceived to be liberal, possibly Muslim and a dirty f*cking hippie activist on a ship that is giving aid to those terrorist women and children who deserved to blown up, burned with phosphorus and buried in the wreckage of their homes (because they let people shoot those laughably pathetic Kasam rockets from a field nearby or something...).
Never underestimate the power of the "Israel is the the Promised Land and Israelis are the Children of God and can do no wrong" narrative in evangelical churches and right wing circles.
Hate to be blunt, but the tea party crowd does not give a flying frak if an American who is:
A. Muslim
B. An activist for any cause they hate (like peace, feeding people with brown skins, etc)
C. On a ship boarded by Teh Awesome Israeli Military(!)
...gets killed. As far as the right wing is concerned, that just means there is one less left wing, Godless America hating mooslim traitor to worry about...and they wish the Israelis would come over here and help finish the job by killing a couple hundred thousand more to teach them all a lesson.
