I just had a facebook friend post a comment on MY facebook page advocating the assassination of the President of the United States of America. I took a certain degreee of umbrage to A, This person saying that Obama should be killed and B, Doing it on MY PAGE instead of his own page. Below the fold is how I responded to him.
Tell me if I am wrong, but is or is not advocating the assassination of the President of the United States of America a criminal act in and of itself? Is it at least something that the Secret Service and the FBI might take an interest in? Is it not at the very least impolite in general political discourse?
I have a picture of Obama as my facebook page photo, and it has a caption That said "Sorry it took so long to get you a copy of my birth certificate, I was too busy killing Osama Bin Laden". He posted beneath my picture: *Name Withheld**: If obama cuts the checks on the 3rd someone should kill him !
I'm sorry but this cannot pass.
Below the fold.
So I sez, I sez to the mug, ( On HIS facebook page,) the following:
Hey *Name Withheld*, advocating the assassination of the Presedent of the United States of America is a felony. It is also very poor political sportsmanship. Should I notify the FBI and Secret Service of your comments? Your quote on my picture was: **Name Withheld**, If obama cuts the checks on the 3rd someone should kill him !" " I assume you are talking about raising the debt limit. If I am wrong, let me know. I never advocated killing GWB when he was in office, and he raised the debt limit 7 times.
I assume you never advocated kililng GWB for raising the debt limit any of those 7 times, did you? You must not want retirees to get their SS checks. Is that is what you are upset about, or is it that Obama is black and/or a Dem and GWB wasn't either of those things? I don't really appreciate people posting Presidential assassination threats on my page. Please let me know if it was Glen Beck or if it was Rush Limbaugh that filled your head with such vile lies and stupidity that you would be willing to put yourself on the FBI watchlist.
Flames and comments and advice are appreciated and would be taken in the spirit in which they are given.
I am not going to link anything, but if you are interested, send me a message.
Now! New and improved and edited for spelling. (at least the frist wround of spreling corwectshuns)
