Saw someone on Facebook "jokingly" threaten Obama
A friend of mine asked "If you could only do one more thing before you die what would it be???"


Some moron responded
Shoot obama. Or get him to show his birth certificate.


I'm wondering how to report it.

4. Call or email the Secret Service..
Such "jokes" should come at a price, having the SS knocking on your door.

And I would have said the same thing when Bushie was POTUS.

5. People were visited by the Secret Service for Bumper stickers and t-shirts under Bush

6. I know...
Some things step over the line and I'm really not quite sure myself where the line is..

But "joking" about shooting the president on a public forum is definitely over that line.

7. Shit, I wouldn't even do it on a private forum...
I guess some people need to learn a very hard lesson about "joking"...

8. that's the thing. i know it's not the same thing, but i was appalled at someone throwing
shoes at bush, and i don't like the guy!! the media is undermining the president and people are not showing him the respect his office deserves. they try to justify their racism by claiming he isn't american... but hawaii has been a state for fifty years now. it saddens me. and frightens me.
