Far-right activist doesn't want Obama killed, but he does...

Jim Garrow, who has his pet nuclear bomb conspiracy theory about Obama, says he doesn't want Obama killed.

Yet he advocates for killing Obama for "treason."



Garrow: Obama Deserves To Be Killed For Treason

Jim Garrow insists that he wants nothing to do with people calling for President Obama to be killed…unless they are calling for Obama to be put to death because he is guilty of treason, in which case Garrow is on board. Hang Em (read to the end):

If you are foolish enough to put treasonous statements or murderous statements regarding the occupant of the White House, I must notify you that I will defriend you. If you are not aware yet that the NSA, FBI, and a score of alphabet agencies of the Federal government are watching and monitoring your activities, then you need to add "ignorant" to the adjectives that must be used to describe you. To speak of the actions of the President as illegal, unconstitutional, or immoral is to speak the truth within the confines of law and right. To protest his actions and to demand his arrest or his removal for these actions is also to speak withing [sic] the confines of right and law. The line is crossed when one demands the death of the President, or physical actions that could be seen as assault. Counseling such would be a violation of law. If you speak to issues that you believe to be treasonous or seditious and you describe the punishments set out in law for those breaches of law, then you are within your right and law in those descriptions. So folks take care to act within law and rights defined in the Constitution. To be outraged and emotional puts you in the same "boat" as myself. But to cross the line into that which is a breach of law necessitates that I distance myself from you. A final thought however. If a person is found guilty of treason or sedition, they should be hung, or shot, or using a new corollary to those methods of punishment approved for capital offenses, beheading (it has been added), then you merely call for justice. In which case and context, I would certainly approve. (emphasis mine) - Dr. Jim Garrow

– Of course, such claims aren’t new from Garrow, who recently agreed with Erik Rush that Obama should be executed:

1. RWNJs, which all RWers are, if you scratch the surface, have advocated lynching PBO since 2008. n/t

2. No worse than some on "our" side who called for...

Shrub to be tried and hung.

At least he's calling for a trial and conviction before a legal execution. Stupid enough, but not calling for snipers or bomb makers.

Ain't gonna happen, but that amendment is there to protect assholes.

3. It's good to know that he thinks people guilty of treason or sedition should be executed.

Because there are a whole lot of right-wingers doing exactly that right now.

4. Now I'm going to be a real nit-picker….

Along with Mr. Garrow's other shortcomings, he is ill-educated in proper English usage. Yes, a man can be hung, but it's got nothing to do with executions. The appropriate term here is "hanged," as in "….and you shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead."
Really.
Sigh.
