| 4. nope ... remember, in 2001, a guy got hauled in for making a joke in a bar |
|
about a "burning bush" ...
On the Howard Stern show, a caller was saying that, if Lieberman got elected, he was going to kill him ...
Stern & Co. begged the guy to say he was joking, but the idjit refused ... Stern show shortly heard from the Secret Service, and they had to turn him in ...
So, I wonder ... test it ... tell someone that you don't really know that you are planning on killing Bush ... see how long before your rear is hauled in ...

If someone said they would assassinate Obama would you report him to the police.
Walks away.

| 2. We shouldn't lock them up... |
|
but we SHOULD suggest that they go back to school. Perhaps if they had learned to read beyond a 5th grade level, they could read articles on the "intertubes" and realize that they've been lied to for 30 years about which way wealth trickles...

| 7. that is some vile subhuman waste there |
|
But I can't advocate locking them up for their views alone, as sick as they are. When they cross the line and make a plan to violently act on those views, that's when it's time to lock them up. I know it's a nerve wracking fine line to tread, but to advocate the idea of "thought crime"....that's just not somewhere I want to see us go.
