I certainly see your point. That said, devil's advocate, the comment doesn't refer merely to political opponents, but rather:

the most evil people I can think of

Can you honestly say that you wouldn't painlessly snap, let's say, a proven serial child rapist out of existence? I think I'd do it, if for some reason the justice system was unable to stop them.

Yeah, there's a gulf of difference between wanting a problem to disappear vs relishing the incredibly detailed idea of pain and suffering of another human being. One's like putting down a rabid dog, the other is just pain for pains sake.

I'm not disagreeing with the previous comment, I just thought it was funny.
