I mean, this is horrifying that there are people who claim they are god fearing and yet post crap like this on a public website which is nothing short terroristic threats
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Posters_at_rightwing_board_threaten_to_0626.htmlPosters at the right-wing Free Republic message board today were roused into a fury of indignation by a news story about the New York Times' revelations of the administration's illegal programs of warrantless surveillance. Posted by an individual calling himself or herself "pissant," the story quoted Vice-President Cheney as saying:
"The New York Times has now twice -- two separate occasions -- disclosed programs; both times they had been asked not to publish those stories by senior administration officials. They went ahead anyway. The leaks to The New York Times and the publishing of those leaks is very damaging."<<<<snip>>>>>
However, they soon became increasingly vindictive:
"Whoever it is, needs to spend the rest of his pathetic life in the slammer."
"Indictments, arrests and imprisonments are very much in order here. Not to put too fine a point on it, but just how much treason is our president prepared to tolerate?"
The thread quickly took on the quality of a lynch mob, with posters attempting to outdo one another in their level of imaginary violence:
"I can only hope I get to see the video of Sulzberger's beheading! :)"
"If the government won't act, perhaps some private citizens will."
"Tar, feathers? You are the very definition of the term 'restraint'. I was thinking more along the lines of the Muslim solution."++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So help me if myself or ANYONE at DU posts crap like this towards another human being that not only we be banned from the website but reported to the appropriate authorities. It's all fun and games to joke about someone and perhaps 'wish he/she would just die' but threats like this are what causes the 'lone gunman' to take what was perhaps written in jest and go out and enact it.
