There's are no fewer than five charming little threads over on Democrat Underground in which Democrats cheer a story about Indian factory workers dousing their boss in gasoline and burning him alive.
The same people who called for Sarah Palin to be arrested for inciting murder because she used the word "target" to describe where she spent money gleefully cheer the workers for burning another human being alive, and openly fantasize about bringing that level of mayhem, violence, murder and torture to the United States.
Surprised? Don't be. These are the same people who routinely posted elaborate online fantasies of killing George W. Bush and post photographs of guillotines whenever Bush or business executives are mentioned in a news story. These are also the same people who cheered Markos Moulitsas when he heckled four American civilians who were burned alive in Fallujah, Iraq. You know, when they're not busy demanding Rush Limbaugh be imprisoned for "inciting violence."
I've said it before, I'll say it again. For many people liberalism, which preaches the individual can be sacrificed to the greater good of the tribe, is their religion of violence. Liberalism is their jihad. Violence, and even the murder of those with differing opinions, is a sacrament.
These threads are even more relevant in light of the violence in Wisconsin and across the country, in which liberals have punched young girls, threatened to rape reporters, savagely attacked elderly women and rioted in restaurants that served Republican customers.
The actual responses in which they openly call for other human beings to be burned alive, in Democrats' own words, are posted below. And these don't include the many, many responses that were so explicit and violent they had to be removed by moderators.

Actions have consequences. For too long, those in power have been allowed to use it for ill, to kill, maim and blight with no consequence, where a hungry shoplifter goes straight to jail.

Thank you for having the courage to post what a lot of us were only thinking. Fear is the emotion these POS's use to control the rest of the population. They need a taste of fear themselves.
And here are responses to the story itself from Democrats openly cheering the thought of brutally torturing and murdering people.

Desperate people do desperate things. Taking away jobs, safety nets, etc is a direct assault on the survival of others. I would never advocate this type of violence...nor will I lose any sleep over it...
...I will sleep like a baby tonight...
...IF these robber barons are intent upon destroying the livelihoods (ergo lives) of people--then they might take some of their ill gotten gains and hire personal security.

I'm not justifying the actions of the attackers in this post...I do, however, want to point out your statement: "This executive was not physically assaulting someone." While this may be true, an executive, or higher up in a corporation or industry doesn't have to physically assault someone. Why? Because they know they can do much worse to a worker than assault them. And if a complaint is taken to the authorities...they will always say, "This executive was not physically assaulting you.".
Hannah Bell (1000+ posts)
no, they never do. but they kill people regardless, that's the thing [By making more money than them.] does the fact that their killing is indirect make it okay? they live long rather comfortable lives for the most part & are looked up to as "successful". but they are murderers nonetheless.

If burning up one executive saved a bunch of lives by causing a change in the upper classes approach to laying people off would that be justified? I personally would never want to kill anyone or witness someone being killed. But the top executives of health insurance companies are killing thousands of people every year by denying them health coverage to increase the bottom lines of the companies they work for. Is this right? I don't think it is any more moral than burning someone up.

A brief reading of US labor history says this may well have been both justifiable and defensible. I don't know the specifics of their situation, but even the most cold and objective reading of US labor history will prove that sometimes violence is indeed an option.
