Barack Obama faces 30 death threats a day, stretching US Secret Service

For an example, let's use a movie you are all familiar with, Goodfellas. The bar kid Spider (played by Christopher Moltisanti (yeh I know)) pisses off Joe Pesci. Robert de Niro eggs him on, going "Tommy, you going to let this f***ing punk get away with that? What's this world coming to?" And Pesci shoots Spider.

Now, de Niro never told Pesci to kill him, but he knew how to push his buttons. Rush, Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, they are very good at pushing buttons. They are saying "We got a problem here, this country is in big trouble, what are you going to do about it?" You know this is true, if you deny it you are appeasing the violence. Now how about, for once, accepting the responsibility of stirring up all this hate, instead of just waiting for something to happen?

That's just stupid. I mean, totally assinine. What you're talking about, is censorship. Censorship of political speech that you disagree with. Personally, I hope there are folks just hat stupid in the government. Well, I know there already are. I can't wait for them to do something that stupid. It will be just one more thing that will get them all voted out the next go-round.
 
Anybody with half a brain can tell somebody to do something without actually using a specific word or series of words. If I want someone to be dead all I have to say is "this person should be GONE. He is destroying America, he is raping our children, obliterating our children. He will destroy your families. He will destroy your faith." People will see that as an attack on themselves and act on it. To further the issue I could say "Somebody should be a true hero and stick up to this dictatorship. They should let the world know that nobody steps on the common man." Did I ever say that person should be killed? Nope. For all I know, my words meant "impeached" not "killed." However, some idiot would interpret those words in an extreme fashion.

Liberals wouldn't ever be allowed to say anything. :rofl
 
Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service

According to these numbers--from the OP--Bush recieved nearly 100 death threats everyday.

Another thing, what made this dumbass reporter think it's a good idea to publicize the first family's call signs? That's plumb crazy!

3000 per year = ~8 1/5 per day

They aren't a secret. From wiki

The United States Secret Service uses code names for U.S. presidents, first ladies, and other prominent persons and locations.[1] The use of such names was originally for security purposes and dates to a time when sensitive electronic communications were not routinely encrypted; today, the names simply serve for purposes of brevity, clarity, and tradition.

When they were chosen it was in the news for a day or so

The racists in this nation are in full frenzy. They can't handle that a man with dark skin is in the white house and they will do whatever their right wing nuttery selves will do to make things worse for the president. All those denying this is a fact ought to pull their heads out of the sand or their asses, whichever is appropriate.

Man, my math skills suck...lol.

I thought they were kept classified. Why have codenames if they're going to be made public?

You have got to be kidding ... :doh

The abortion doctor Tiller was murdered because rightwing radio and television insisted he had to be stopped. Listen to O'Reilly saying "If I could get my hands on Tiller..." O'Reilly and people like him enabled the killing of Tiller, and they are doing the same thing to Obama. In this ridiculous scare movie called The Obama Deception, the announcer asks "Will you stop the completion of the world dictatorship.

The abortion doctor Tiller was murdered because a man with a gun shot him.

O'Reilly said "if I could get my hands ..." He didn't suggest that anyone else do anything. It was a stupid thing to say, but it's hardly inciting anyone to commit murder, and O'Reilly has and should continue to enjoy First Amendment protection for saying such things.

Try again.

I don't have to try again, Tiller was murdered because rightwing agitators demanded a final solution to the Tiller problem. And the same people are demanding the colored fake president must go. Amazing how the people with the most extreme opinions accept the least responsibility for the forces they set in motion.

So much propaganda, so many lies...


1. Oreilly is a moderate, far from a right winger.

2. This propaganda has been shot down for the lies they are.

Exactly. Look at what O'Reilly said about the late-term abortion doctor.

IN YOUR OPINION, it's not inciting someone to commit murder. IN YOUR OPINION. In my opinion, it was. You have no idea what goes through people's minds. Sure, your hearing those words would not cause you to act in any way. Me too. But others......

O'Reilly is only a "moderate" from your fringe perspective
The only lies are the feeble excuses you make to justify inciting others to violence.

Oreilly is pro gun control...

Believes in global warming

I could go on, but I wont waste my time.


It is a liberal media matters daily kooks talking point to blame Oreilly for the abortionists death.... And it is a lie.

/facepalm


This is outright lies. You claim O'reilly agitated people to kill tiller. Now prove your clam that Oreilly wants the president dead at all, and especially because he is black.


Claiming racism, on people where none exists, and suggesting people want to kill the president because of it, and naming them, is low class, and slander.

Yeah, that's pretty much restricted to your fantasies and probably just meant as an excuse to start some bull**** First Amendment restrictions like the Fairness Doctrine and whatnot.
 
This is the same argument that is going to be used to take guns away. It'll be said that, "it's for our own good". It's classic socialism.

No **** it's my opinion. This is a political message board. We share opinions here. Duh. Do I have to preface every single post I make with IN MY OPINION? ****ing ridiculous ...
In my opinion, it was. You have no idea what goes through people's minds. Sure, your hearing those words would not cause you to act in any way. Me too. But others......
And neither do you, so just how do you pretend to claim that O'Reilly's words had any effect on anyone at all? IN YOUR OPINION, that is.

:roll:

When Liberals say something, it's supposed to be accepted as irrefutable fact.
