Christian Militia Claims 'Authority' To Shoot And Kill Obama

No wonder people want surveillance with crackpots like this running around.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/23/1257923/-Facebook-Christian-Militia-Group-Makes-Death-Threats-Against-Obama?detail=email

So now, Right-Wing 'Christian' extremists are making death threats against President Obama, and on Facebook. The administrator, 'Everest,' for the Facebook group Christian American Patriots Militia begins his post on November 19th, with:
“We now have the authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him."
Well, it’s a federal crime, i.e. a felony to make threats against any president.
A large number of people on Facebook have claim they reported the post and site. Some folks even say they contacted the FBI and Secret Service. Apparently, the authorities are fully aware, watching, and waiting. The penalty for a someone making a threat is far less, than if someone attempts to make good on that threat. And the authorities will be right there waiting for them, ready to snap them up.

and I can confidently exclaim that they have absolutely no sense of humor at all when it comes to the protection of the presidency.

in the world. Really, I do. These schmucks live in their own little Rambo fantasy and I'd LOVE to see them abruptly snapped out of it.

There are insane people there who assume they have divine powers.

I hope the Secret Service gets all these crazies locked up before its too late.

many churches, it seems, have strayed way off course from what I thought religion was about as a kid ... kindness, always helping others, not being prejudice, etc., etc. now, so many seem bigoted, prejudicial and RW, so much, religion to me is becoming a code word for organized hatred. ... and similarly for family values.
