So if a country western song was published about assassinating Obama while he was running for president the world would have come to an end for the mainstream media. Or had the song been written about Hillary it would be the worst thing ever. What we do have is this.

I was wondering the same thing. Must be common core math.
What is "common core math" exactly? Perhaps you'd like to explain to us? Before you do, you should probably realize that Common Core is a set of standards, not a curriculum. There is no such thing as "common core math."
You should also probably realize that that Common Core was created as a bipartisan initiative of the NGA (National Governor's Association) and is maintained by the NGA and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Finally, that No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and its grant waivers are no more as it was replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act in December so there is no leverage for the federal government to use to compel adoption.
Perhaps it's time to update your propaganda derived opinion?
Wow, overanalyze much? I took it as a joke, and a pretty witty one at that.
Our parents said the same thing. So did their parents, etc. It's the endless cycle of growing up and becoming wiser as time progresses. I think we're going to be just fine.
On the topic of the OP: Who cares? Really? Who cares?
Either enjoy it and sing along, or go about your business.
What is really wrong here is that we have too many people that like to play drama queen at any given opportunity.
It's about time for people to grow a pair of balls and quit being a bunch of whiny bitches.
Either enjoy it and sing along, or go about your business.

Are murder threats now acceptable in our society?
None of those are death threats. A person saying he's surprised somebody hasn't been "sniped" by El Chapo or will "prolly get smoked" is not a death threat.
How is this not voter intimidation? Vote in office who we want or we riot?
You mean like this?
NY Post - Trump: There will be riots if I’m denied nomination
“I think we’ll win before getting to the convention, but I can tell you, if we didn’t and if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400 . . . I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think you’d have riots,” Trump told CNN.
