This son of a bitch needs to be in prison. This is INCITING VIOLENCE.

What the hell is wrong with these people??????????:mad:

I am absolutely fucking livid about this.

1. Boy we sure do have more than our share of pychotics don't we? nt

[CaptainObvious]

2. I bet he considers

himself to be a good God fearing Christian.

:puke:

[Tigress DEM]

6. He SHOULD fear God acting the way he does.

"What do you mean, Lord?" scratches his head, "I never saw you hungry or in prison and I certainly never threatened to string you up with a rope."

Bible says what you do to the least of God's people you do unto Him and you will be judged at the end of days.

[mod mom]

3. My bad-oops.

[blonndee]

5. Article says Secret Service investigating. n/t

[rebel with a cause]

16. According to the Patriot Act

is this not an act of treason, and cannot a person that does such an act be put in prison or deported to a place of the government's chosing. I remember reading and objecting to this part of the Act. :shrug:

4. This is a death threat to the President elect of the US of A

Ken Germana is a terrorist who doesn't know the difference between a "political statement" and a death threat.

Hope they throw the book at him.

What a yutz.

7. You know, as much as we all loathed (and still do) bush, these sorts

of displays never happened, at least not that I'm aware of.

[Stellabella]

8. You mean against Bush?

That's because all the ignorant nuts are on HIS side.

[gratefultobelib]

9. Ignorant, yes, and hateful and mean. We've talked before on DU about

being nervous, depending on where we live, about displaying our Obama bumper stickers and signs. Can you imagine Republicans being nervous ANYWHERE about showing their loyalty? It's frustrating and downright scary at times.

[Stellabella]

20. Yes, it certainly is scary.

And I wish things were different. I don't know if that will ever change.

[Cleita]

10. Oh my, Bonner County.

I used to live there. I can say that most of the people who live there are less racist than the average American across the country. But, I guess you get the jerks no matter where you live.

[elshiva]

11. The only time I saw this type of behavior where I lived

was after 9/11 when somebody put up a noose and put a sign up that said "Osama bin Ladin's Swing." I could understand that person's anger, but still it was in bad taste. This is, though, is absolutely insane. "Obama and Pelosi" :wtf: Hate speech, death threats are NOT protected free speech. Tear that damn sign down NOW! :mad:

[Farmall]

12. You guys are looking at this all wrong.........

Think about it this way-since he freely excercised his right to free speech, we all know that this person doesn't have all his marbles.

Had he not opened his trap, nobody would know what a fool he really is. If all the fools are silenced, then who will speak in Congress?


Freedom of speech is guarunteed, whether you like what they are saying or not. Instead of whining about it, look at the glass as half full.

[freethought gal]

13. No Right to Incite Violence

...Especially against a public figure who is going to be the President in 2009.

[Farmall]

15. You're not getting my point-

Would you rather a nutjob like this keep quiet and go about his plans in a stealthy mode, or is it better that he opens his mouth so that all know he's not quite right in the head and can keep an eye on him closer?


The most dangerous animals are those that are silent, it's easy to defend against those that are loud.

[Phred42]

14. CAll the Secret Service

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. And how would they react if any Democrat ever did anything similar?

[orleans]

18. this asshole is just following in the footsteps of palin/mcfuck

it looks like pelosi etc was written in as an after thought.

the sign was intended for obama only (based on the spacing and the lettering of pelosi, reid, sharpton). looks like they had second thoughts about focusing it strictly on obama. (they probably didn't want to be *too* obvious about their intent for a black man--decided to throw in a couple white people too.)

19. Inciting domestic terrorism. He's a FUCKING TRAITOR!
