“Obama is an invader at war with the west, and should be impeached, prosecuted and hanged.”

I think beheading in pure muslim style for the muslim in chief would be more appropriate!

Paging Agent Mike.

1. The Freepers are blood thirsty monsters!

I can't count how many violent threats get posted towards the President there on a daily basis.

[warrior1]

2. Should be reported to the FBI

[Gravitycollapse]

6. Why? Nothing they said was illegal.

[pnwmom]

9. People who say things like that are over the top crazy.

Anyone who calls for Obama's death should be watched.

[Gravitycollapse]

10. So you support illegal surveillance against those who have committed no crime?

[pnwmom]

11. You should take a logic class. Your statement doesn't logically follow mine.

I support legal surveillance, after obtaining a warrant, of individuals who have been deemed by a judge to pose a risk to the President.

[Gravitycollapse]

14. I've taken several logic courses. Maybe you should take an ethics class...

Or one on Constitutional law.

But, forgive me, I forgot some people care more about legality than ethics. So it seems the immoral is no longer the illegal and that allows people like yourself to dismiss the immorality of an act simply because it is law abiding.

So, let me restate myself.

You support the legal but unethical surveillance of persons who have committed no crime?

[pnwmom]

17. I never heard in my ethics class or Con Law that it's unethical to check out

whack-jobs who publicly advocate hanging or beheading the President.

[Gravitycollapse]

18. There are whack jobs in every possible field of politics. You want to surveil all of them?

What this inevitably leads to is a blurring of the line between what constitutes an actual illegal form of speech and unsettling ramblings of an idiot or asshole.

There was no actual threat made against the President. Thus, it is not illegal. If you think we should violate a person's 4th amendment right when he or she has done nothing illegal, then you have a very shaky ethical foundation.

Come to think of it, I don't like the way you talk so lowly of our right to privacy. I think it's actually a little warped; maybe even dangerous. We should set up a court to wiretap your phones just to make sure you don't actually pose a threat to our 4th amendment rights. Hmmm...

[Warren DeMontague]

22. Making threats on The POTUS -is- illegal, and often results in a Secret Service visit

at the very least.

[Gravitycollapse]

23. They were not making threats. And what they said is not illegal.

Unethical? Absolutely. Illegal? Absolutely not.

I am not a fan of subjecting individuals to investigation because they said something unethical.

[Vanje]

24. Really?

It looks a little like advocating for the assassination of a sitting president.
Its pretty close to the line if not way over.

[Gravitycollapse]

25. The line is very clear. When not crossed, what exists on the other end becomes irrelevant.

Stating that someone should be killed is not the same as threatening or conspiring to kill someone.

Do you understand the difference?

[truebluegreen]

27. This guy in Maine got a visit from the Secret Service

for posting "Shoot the N***er" on Facebook with a picture of Obama.

http://newsone.com/2703712/david-marsters-barack-obama/

The Secret Service interviewed Marsters and his wife for an hour at his home. They also searched his home for weapons. The couple’s neighbors were also interviewed. Marsters has not been charged with a crime.

It would appear that the Secret Service does not exactly agree with you, and will investigate voiced threats to make sure they are not credible ones.

[Gravitycollapse]

36. Well that's likely because that is a direct incitement to violence.

Which is itself a kind of threat.

[truebluegreen]

39. You said:

"Stating that someone should be killed is not the same as threatening or conspiring to kill someone."

That guy did not personally threaten or conspire. But he still earned a visit from the Secret Service.

[hrmjustin]

30. Saying the president should be beheaded is a threat and should be reported.

[Gravitycollapse]

31. That is not a threat. Do whatever you want with it. But it is not a threat.

[Hekate]

33. My goodness. You are certainly busily defending Freeperdom's right to threaten the POTUS

It is a threat. There are legal means in place to check them out, should Agent Mike's bosses decide to send him over there for a chat. No problem there. The freepers have the right to say whatever kind of shit they want to -- and the FBI/Secret Service/whoever apparently has the right to check it out in case there's something to it. No problems if they follow the law.

[Gravitycollapse]

34. It's called consistency of rhetoric. And I pride myself on it.

I don't change my arguments based on whether or not I like the person I'm talking about. To do otherwise would be disingenuous.

What they said is protected speech right up to the point that they themselves threaten physical harm upon the President. Neither of those examples presented are examples of threatening physical harm. They are statements of desire.

[BlueToTheBone]

3. Don't they know there isn't any war?

Or just the thought of Barack Obama drives them crazy?

[Hoyt]

4. They were after Obama from day one, wanting to "take their country back."

They've been arming up, Gerrymandering, obstructing, etc., the whole time. Screw them.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. RimJob's spawn, trying to make their daddy proud. n/t

.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. In other news...water boils at 100 C at sea level

[NuclearDem]

8. Oh, RimJob. Your website always brings us the very best derp

[LostOne4Ever]

12. Anytime I even consider the possibility of my being wrong on politics

I just go over to that site and read a single topic and I am reminded why we liberals are correct on every single issue. Those cretins are dumber than dirt, and their hatred knows no end.

[NuclearDem]

15. I swear the combined IQ of everyone there has got to be barely more than room temperature.

[LostOne4Ever]

21. Wouldn't

Adding their IQ together result in a negative number though?

[jberryhill]

32. If that room is a meat locker, maybe

[Aerows]

38. Thank goodness for France

If I have to become a vegetarian, I'll still have my laughing cow cheese. I really do love it. And the mini-bel.

[hobbit709]

13. If Freepers aren't on something, they should be.

They either need medication for their psychoses or they need to stop living on meth.

[Silent3]

16. If Larry Summers hadn't withdrawn, and Obama had nominated him...

...I don't know if I would have been able to tell the difference between what's in the OP and something I might have found in General Discussion on DU... with lots of recs.

[MzShellG]

28. Sad but true. nt

[Raine]

19. *YAWN* same old BS that's been spewing from them for 5 yrs

they need to get some new material.

[KittyWampus]

20. they should move to Saudi Arabia.

[Aerows]

37. They should eat 46 year old chicken feet

There is some good that comes out of de-regulating everything.

[Douglas Carpenter]

26. Good Lord!! I can't support that!!

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Neah neah-neah neah neah booga booga booga. . .

n/t

[Aerows]

35. Freepers are crazy sons of bitches

news at 11....

Next we'll hear how Conservative Cave dwellers had an orgasm of delight over this thread.

More news.

Oh look, China can now ship processed, cooked chicken to the US. Maybe some 46 year old chicken feet will end up in a Freeperville, Concave pot and they can cry about how bad regulation is.

Who wouldn't want to eat that?

[RandiFan1290]

40. Ahh, the old gang, eh?
