I just reported a racist death threat against President Obama to the Secret Service

[derby378]

Showed up on Obama's own Facebook profile. I won't reprint it here, but I've saved a screen image of the threat in question. The Secret Service agent took all the details I could give him and said they'd start looking into the post and the Facebook user who posted it.

Moral of the story: Don't fuck with Obama, traitors. DUers have our President's back and will act accordingly.

[Botany]

1. I did the same thing for a right wing pastor ....

.... he got a "visit" from the secret service :rofl:

bottom line "they" don't like a black man as President

[derby378]

2. Damn straight

All those DUers who have me on "Ignore" because I question where the administration is taking us don't realize what I've done to help protect not only Obama but also legitimate Democratic control of our government. So there.

:hi:

[polmaven]

6. I'm going to go out on a limb, here,

though, and guess that if you had heard a death threat against our last (p)resident you would have done the same thing. ....It is the only thing a true democracy loving American could do. Good job, and thank you.

[derby378]

7. I want Bush to stand trial for what he has done to our nation

Hard to do that if some assassin makes him an eternal martyr for the far-right-wing cause.

[Donnachaidh]

14. I'm sorry, but can anyone really say they saw death threats at THIS level during the Bush Admin?

Personally, I saw exactly NONE anywhere on the net.

The level of outright vicious calls for his death even astounds me, and I'm not a cheerleader for this Admin. It's obscene and should be reported immediately. These people need to be hounded out of existence.

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. I was actually a bit surprised, given the level of polarization....

Bush generated, the crimes he committed and the hideous policy decisions, that I never saw or heard of any threats against him. I honestly cannot recall a single one. Yet I was on the phone with the Secret Service reporting a threat against Obama within three months of his inauguration. And yes, they do follow up!

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. You have to remember

that all the crazy trigger happy redneck gun-toting racists and future baggers were in HIS corner ready to take off someones head for even having the wrong bumper sticker.

We have a mix of pacifist, educated, rational, empathetic, and socially conscience in our crowd.

If there ever was a real civil war drawn along cultural lines, like many baggers pine for, we wouldn't stand much of a chance I'm afraid.

[TheWraith]

22. That is a damn good reason to practice vigorous self defense.

I can say with all honesty that the increase in right wing nutjobs helped motivate me to buy a rifle and become good with it, and if they keep it up after the election I'm probably going to add a pistol to the collection. Liberalism and pacifism are not synonyms: left-wing icons from Eleanor Roosevelt to Eugene Debs either carried weapons themselves or advocated for armed self defense.

38. Another 'Assholes are fair Game' Liberal

Lock and load, :hi:

[barbtries]

23. we'd win.

there are more reasonable adults. so far at least.

[HarveyDarkey]

44. I'm educated, rational, empathetic, and socially conscious

I'm also anti-war, but that doesn't make me a pacifist. I'm armed and I carry legally. I pray to FSM I never have to use it, but if I have to I will.

[phleshdef]

31. Thats because Bush's opposition came from mod. dems and liberals & we don't tend to get into murder.

[NoSheep]

34. bingo

[polmaven]

16. Did I say there were?

I was complimenting the OP, not being snide....you do realize that, right? Your post doesn't sound like it.

[NoSheep]

35. I felt the knee hitting the chin on that one, LOL

[louis-t]

19. The threats weren't against stupidface, but

against those who questioned his marvelousness.

[siligut]

30. "These people need to be hounded out of existence"

I agree, it is the damn right-wing that creates these hate-mongering zealots. If I had one wish, it would be to take away the rhetoric and ideology that the Reich uses to manufacture hate. Unfortunately, I don't have that wish and I haven't figured out a real plan to get rid of them.

[ampad]

39. No it seem to be the total opposite

Anyone who openly questioned the Bush administration were the ones who had to worry. Remember the death threats the Dixie chicks got after Natalie's little speech. After 9/11 the right wingers were hard core about their support for Bush. It seems to be in their nature. It also does not help that the current president is black.

[Zambero]

42. Bush's biggest death threat came from a pretzel

Second place was a pair of shoes.

[Naturyl]

52. I saw precisely one death threat against shubbie

And I let the author know in very firm terms that it was totally unacceptable.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. the country has not recovered...

from the last assassination. Hold presidents accountable for their crimes- yes, in a court of law.

[Gman]

18. Good job.

If we out here in the grassroots don't have Obama's back, then no one does.

[jdlh8894]

3. Guess "they " don't

have much use for the "white" half of him either?

[derby378]

4. It's like that old Public Enemy song

I try to tell my people there should not be any hatred
For a brother or sister whose opposite race they've mated
For no man is God, and God put us all here, yeah
But the system has no wisdom, the Devil split us in pairs
And told us white is good, black is bad
Black and white is still too bad
That's why every time I turn around
All the people in my neighborhood look and get mad and say
Polly
Polly
Pollywanna...

[unpossibles]

27. a pastor

Who would Jesus discriminate against?

[Bitwit1234]

5. I don't agree with a lot of the decisions Obama has made

but you are correct I get maddern' hell when some one makes fun of, posts those horrible pictures and threatens him. And I also get mad at the Secret Service for not taking the urging to violence that fox and rush and the whole damn crew does.

[postulater]

8. Good job.

Report it, as you should.

I would hope, however, that by the time you saw it, the Secret Service had already spotted it also.

You can bet they have an ear out for "chatter" like that.

That's how they catch terrorists after all.

[derby378]

9. Maybe, but I caught the threat almost as soon as it was made

Did I beat the Secret Service to the punch? I'd like to think I didn't. Either way, however, that racist teabagger is toast.

[postulater]

10. Imagine the surprise. Big Black SUV in your driveway.

Guys in suits and sunglasses at the door.

Hope he gets one phone call to get someone to feed the cats before he leaves for jail.

[Mimosa]

11. Are there really wingnut wackjobs who are also cat wubbers?

I don't think so. Cat lovers aren't fascist wackjobs! ;)

[derby378]

12. Have you seen what some of those Secret Service SUVs carry?

"Say hello to my little friend..."

48. beautiful

Thoughts like these warm my heart. No one no matter what party you are affiliated with,you should never threaten another human being.

[Number23]

13. Great job.

:thumbsup:

[Mad_Dem_X]

21. Good for you!

We need to keep aware of stuff like this and act accordingly. :patriot:

[DemocraticPilgrim]

24. Good work we mostly keep him safe by staying on top of these things.

[DinahMoeHum]

25. G*d help those fuckos if anything, I mean ANYTHING !!!!

bad happens to Obama or his family or any elected Democrat.

AFAIC, anything happens to Obama or a Democrat, the 'Pukes and teabaggers will get the same thing at least 5 times over.

Bank on it.

:kick:

[Deep13]

26. I have no fucking patience for that shit.

If you threaten assassignation or the violent overthrow of the government, you are a traitor to the United States of America and to the revolution.

[BlueDemKev]

29. Oh no, that's only if you're a LIBERAL.....

...remember when criticizing any of Bush's policy was considered "treasonous"? But conservatives threatening the life of a liberal president? That's patriotism! :puke:

[Green_Lantern]

41. what revolution? the govt. is bound by the Constitution...not the way

Conservatives interpret of course but certainly not revolutionary.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. They ought to visit Stephen Broden while they're at it...

If I saw something like what you saw, I'd be on DU asking how to contact Secret Service.

51. Good. You did the right thing.

Let them know that these things will not go unnoticed.

[political_Dem]

53. Thank you very much for doing that. The threats I hear about are highly disturbing.

It seems that because of the instigation of the RW, the threats get worse each day.

For all the crap Mr. Obama receives everyday from all sides, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't call a press conference, flips the bird and simply tells the world to go to hell. He's working his ass off for people who don't appreciate him. The sad thing is that he's even working for people who wish the worst for him. That's why a life of public service is a thankless job sometimes. While Mr. Obama pragmatically tries to solve things, anyone else would tell the public to STFU.

[besdayz]

54. aa

its amazing how oreilly and fox lampoons the far left as vicious and thuggish when the real danger is the far far right in this country....always has always will be.....



the far left in this day has been reduced to code pink and sign holders and a group of 7 black panthers who seem to get a whole lot of news coverage......
