[teach1st]

Source: Tampa Bay Times

ST. PETERSBURG — As Americans honored the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, a Republican candidate for Florida House District 68 said President Barack Obama should be hanged for war crimes.

"I'm past impeachment," Joshua Black wrote on Twitter. "It's time to arrest and hang him high."

The tweet caught the attention of local blogger and political consultant Peter Schorsch and Chris Latvala, a Republican candidate for House District 67.

"You aren't seriously calling for the killing of Obama are you?" Latvala replied. "I know you are crazy but good heavens. U R an embarrassment."

12. The article is from today.

It is about the 2014 election. A Democratic Senator won in 2012 and is the incumbent.

16. Well, I hope this is the end of this RWNJ's bid. Thanks for clarifying. n/t

of Stupid!

[ReRe]

7. Ahem...

Isn't that like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater? Have the Secret Service paid him a visit yet? Can you imagine what's going to happen when we get a woman President? Especially if we get a Democratic woman President who is a REAL Democrat and starts to right all the wrongs in our country?

14. It Will Not be Worse Than What Pres Obama is Receiving

I look forward to Hilary (that's the first who came to mind) becoming president but the disgusting discrimination she will face will not be as bad as what the 1st Black president of the US is receiving. The past 7 years have sounded like some people took a trip back to the 1900s south.

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, lib87!

Glad you're here. I do, too. And while she'll face all kinds of crap not only for being a Clinton (and yeah they'll haul all that shit back out again like some big political Sore-Loserman-gets-acid-reflux) and for being female. But I think no President will EVER face the kind of shit that President Obama has had to deal with. I've never seen the vile depths on display in all my life as I've seen during his rise to prominence - including his Presidency (and his campaigns for same). Just VILE!!!! AWFUL!!! I don't know how he deals with it and all the while manages to maintain such grace and class and dignity - AND an occasional chuckle about it. It just makes me sick - the disrespect, hatred, and absolute shit that some of these assholes show toward him! SHEESH!!!!!!

43. +1,000

45. ^^^

Sore loser man with acid reflux.

[INdemo]

42. What about Elizabeth Warren

she would be the real progressive President we need. We have had enough corporate sponsored candidates. We need someone that's truly on our side.
(back to the issue) What do you suppose would have happen had someone said this when GW was Pres...they would have had the guys trial, conviction and behind bars by now.

Or some demonic brood queen that lays clutches of them and sends the hatchlings out to wreck havoc in the world?

People really wanna vote for this guy?

17. He is an embarrassment alright. n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

20. I don't know this tea bagger is is at spelling, but he flunks history

Benedict Arnold was not hanged, as Mr. Black asserts.

Never entirely accepted in his adopted homeland, General Arnold died in his bed in London on 14 June 1801. He had been afflicted by gout and dropsy in his final months.

[exboyfil]

56. He actually came back at the head of a English army

Please tell me he was homeschooled or went to a private/chartered Christian school. That would be too precious.

HE WAS HOMESCHOOLED. FROM HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE:

http://www.joshuablack2014.com/about-the-candidate/

I was born and raised in Saint Louis, Mo., as the second of ten children, all home schooled by my mother’s insistence. The condition of public education in my hometown is and was abysmal, even though the school board kept getting tax increases approved. They nearly lost their accreditation twice during my school years. Meanwhile, I scored a 28 on the ACT, and a 99 on the ASVAB. Yeah. Good choice, mom.

[Lochloosa]

22. From his facebook page....

So, don't stop at impeachment. Remove him. Try him before a jury (the very right that he arbitrarily denied to al-Awaki and his 15-year-old son), and, upon his sure convictions, execute him. Thus has he done, thus it should be done to him.

Remember this face....

24. WTF, do all the Crazy black wingnuts live in Florida or something ?

[davidpdx]

39. He's probably buddies with Allen West

[Vogon_Glory]

41. Sorry, But No

I regret to inform you that there are crazy Afro-American right wing-nuts living in other states. Most of them, though, lack the knack of calling attention to themselves.

[Le Taz Hot]

25. Wait.

He's African-American?

[Cha]

28. He's Black!!? MOFO STUPID. Dumbfuck. nm

[Cha]

29. FUCKING SLEEZEBALL. ok

I'm almost through with my

[AngryOldDem]

40. Wow. Just wow.

MLK would be SO proud.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. strange fruit.

Unbelievable.

Oh, and he's speaking this way out of concern over racial injustice?

[JI7]

23. is he related to Dick Black ?

[CatWoman]

31. Big Dick Black?

[JI7]

32. HAHAHAHAH

haven't seen that before.


actually had this guy in mind who is the latest republican pro rape candidate

[SCVDem]

30. Note how they have no memory

of a guy named Bush?

War crimes going once......

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

52. Precisely

Has he called for the hanging of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of the Bushmen for the crime of lying to get the country into their war in Iraq?

Heck, has he called for their imprisonment under 18 USC § 2340A, which says that those who order torture should be punished as if they had committed the torture themselves?

[Amimnoch]

53. Well, there goes the post I was going to make.

Was my first thought as well.. Really?!?! Hang Obama?? For "Treason" for the accidental drone killing of 4 US citizens.. none of which was actually ordered by the executive office.. BUT, no call to hang Bush for treason for knowing and willingly misrepresenting the facts that led to a war in Iraq under false pretenses, and where NO evidence of the stated purpose (WMD's) was ever found directly led to the deaths of 4,489 US citizens, and somewhere between 120,000 and 130,000 Iraqui citizens dead.

Who's guilty of treason again Mr. Black?

[L0oniX]

33. I hope he sets a nice table with tea and crumpets for the SS visit.

[DallasNE]

34. There For A Moment I Thought It Had To Be Herman "9-9-9" Cain

Or, possibly, Alan Keyes.

[The CCC]

35. Florida House candidate Joshua Black calls for hanging of President Obama

Like all republicans. Dumber than turkey shit. BA lived peacefully in London England to end of his life. He died at age 60.

[SamKnause]

36. Twitter

The Bush administration should be held accountable for war crimes, torture, and crimes against humanity.

The Obama administration should be held accountable for NOT prosecuting the Bush administration and continuing their illegal agenda.

The Republicans and the Tea Party only want the Democratic party to be held accountable.

Have they called for the prosecution of the Bush administration ?

They do NOT believe in holding everyone accountable.

Only those they disagree with are guilty.

I don't want anyone in the US to be above the law.

Unfortunately that ship sailed long ago.

When those who make the law and carry out the law are above the law, there is no law.

[Thespian2]

48. Thank You

For the most intelligent reply to this thread. I add one note: Obama is also a war criminal...drone murders...who will never face trial.
Yes, I am a Progressive.

[SamKnause]

57. Reply

Thank you for your input.

I agree with your comment about president Obama.

I am a Socialist and big fan of the late great Hugo Chavez.

37. K&R...Thanks for posting

Unbelievable!

He does look a little like Herman Cain......a young Herman Cain.

'nuff said?

44. My standard response to pro-Impeachment morans:

"I know he's done alot of stuff we don't like - for me, as an ultra lefty especially - but please show, specifically, item and verse, what he's done that's IMPEACHABLE. Other than being Black & you 'don't like' him?"

[Dopers_Greed]

47. Imagine if a Democratic house member had called for the hanging of Bush

[Arugula Latte]

49. I look forward to his tweet calling for the execution of George W. Bush in retaliation for these

American deaths:

[Brigid]

50. Hello, Secret Service?

I know somebody you need to talk to. He's ranting about hanging President Obama. And get this -- He's African-American!

[beachbum bob]

51. Time for the handcuffs

And prison time. I suspect he will have some real close black friends in time in prison.

[noiretextatique]

54. despicable

pea-brained lackey

[Arkana]

58. Yeah, that won't get you a visit from the Secret Service.

Oh, wait.
