Sharing a photo on her Facebook page of President Obamas recent visit to Texas, the founder of the Moms With Guns website commented on the photo, stating: Where is an assasin (sic) when you need one?
The post has since been taken down and the Moms With Guns Facebook account has been closed by founder Kathy Perkins, but not before Liberaland was able to save a screen capture, seen below.
One commenter, Todd Thozeski of Seven Hills, Ohio, commented on her Facebook share, Duh, while Liberaland noted another wrote, I know
Im amazed it hasnt happened yet.
Perkins Moms With Guns website and her twitter account, @MomsWithGuns , are still up, but contain no reference to her wishing for the assassination of the President of the United States.

It's lucky for her no worldwide data network exists to store missteps like that...
needs to go to jail.

(15,682 posts)The b word is unacceptable on this site - even for the likes of her. Even though we agree with the sentiment. You'll likely get an alert and hidden post if you don't.

(23,973 posts)Or is this a relatively new rule? I am not one of the longer term members here, and one of the things that attacted me to DU when I first ventured here was the free use of colorful language. The "b word" seems quite mild compared to other terminology I have read here.
Just wondering.

(15,682 posts)8 plus years. The b word specifically demeans women. It is sexist the way the n word is racist. There are many other words that do not offend and those you can use all you want as long as they are not directed at another DUer.

(23,973 posts)When I first read the message about the blocked post, I thought, "Well, perhaps I should have said 'witch.' " Then, I found myself wondering if that would be deemed offensive or demeaning to someone who follows Wiccan philosophy.
Is there a list somewhere of forbidden words?

"Oopsie" will be the next FB status update she makes.
Although I'm sure they're aware of it now if they weren't already.

(9,126 posts)They do not favor registration because they're afraid their guns will confiscated when the Revolutionary War Part 2 happens. Because they're going to beat the US military, armed with the most advanced weapons ever known, with a basement full of AKs.
If you want a gun for home defense, most gunners agree a shotgun is best. You only need one.

... someone's coined a bumper sticker slogan encouraging people to pray for Barack Obama. But here's the funny part: it's really a secret Christian code for "Kill the President!"
Psalm 109 is known as "A Cry for Vengeance," which is one of the foundational values of Christianity, along with small-business tax cuts. It's actually quite a little psalm, as psalms go, and the opening lines sound really familiar:
for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
Then it gets into the part where you pray for God to smite Barack Obama and condemn Malia and Sasha to poverty for the rest of their lives, a fate they deserve because they sprang from the loins of the sinful:
The Psalm 109:8 gag is one in what's becoming a long line of cheekily coded Obama death threats: There was the classified ad someone placed in a Pennsylvania paper hoping that he follows in "the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy," all of whom were assassinated. And there was the gun-toting New Hampshire teabagger with a sign saying it is time to "water the tree of liberty"a reference to Thomas Jefferson's reminder that the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the "blood of tyrants and patriots."
