What do you do about someone threatening the President Elect...?
I ran across this on Myspace. This isn't the first thing he wrote like this, but I just brushed it off. Now it's gotten to this.

Should something like this be reported? To whom?

See what I mean here

It should be reported to the Secret Service.

11. You don't have to be a friend to see it.
Look over at the top, right hand side of the screen. It's in a little box.

3. Ah, Kentucky
I'd call the FBI about this one, just to fuck him up.

5. Report it to the Secret Service.
I don't know exactly how to go about doing that, but they should be informed. Make sure you take a screen shot of the page asap.

7. Pass it on to the Obama smear site.
Always take things like this seriously. Not sure where you would send this once the smear site goes down though.

8. The Secret Service? Although I hate to see them take the time and effort
to deal with this loser, but you never know.

9. No stable person makes comments like that...
I think it's always best to report things like that.

When it comes to matters like this...you aren't alleging anything, you are just giving information to
the proper authorities. They'll decide if it's worth investigating.

When in doubt, always pass the information along.

10. I found a threat on Freak Republic, too
If Hussein's minions and thugs come for out guns...they will die.

Sounds like a threat against the President-Elect to me.

18. The Secret Service probably keeps a good watch on FR
And they kept a watch on DU. Either website can attract some crazy people.

I've alerted on posts I've thought crossed the line, even if it seem the implied threat was nothing to take seriously.

12. MySpace and the FBI. Maybe the Secret Service, too.

Let's be realistic. Obama will draw more acrimony than previous Presidents because of his race. These people are evil and worthless, but they do own guns and are a threat.

ANY hint of ANY threat should be reported. These hateful 19th century leftovers need to know that America has left them far behind.

16. It is going to be up to us loyal Dems to WATCH OBAMA'S BACK.
We've got way more eyes and ears than the Secret Service does.

Report anything and everything like this to both Secret Service and FBI. Immediately.

21. Some kind folks from Kentucky threatened Barack
Some crap like:

Good job, America. You just caused another assassination to happen.

I hope someone got a screen shot of it to send to the Secret Service.
