Gov. Scott Walker death threats after recall victory being investigated by police

It was those folks showing up at tea party rallies with assualt rifles that had us all confused.

Well all righty then... Glad you could join the party pal... Keep up the good work.
 
Well... How about you back that up with a link to the post confirming that?

Then when you discover you have been busted lying, a retraction would be the honest thing to do.

You are correct. It was the other Far Right guy - the OP - that made the claim. I retract the assertion and instead shift it to Sawyer.

And there you've hit on it... "crosshairs all over the map"... And don't bother reading those words at the top, because they can be a real buzz-kill for dishonest, political opportunists.
The fine print is noted, but the overall 'first impression' impact of the map remains the same.

Now compare that map, to the crosshairs on the head of a human being through the scope of a rifle... Now you can either be honest, or political... Your choice.
I've already addressed your comparison:

[...] Now both are in rather bad taste, but I will agree that putting the crosshairs directly on the person's face is worse, while noting that IMHO it is only a matter of degree between the two (here I'm referring to the anti-Walker rally poster that is floating around the net, with "RELOAD" on it).

Now if such a graphic is contained in an unequivocal death threat, as the Twitchy site (and a few others) is trying to infer, then that is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. However, we have no evidence at this point to support that.

Your natural love affair with assault rifles and your constant claims of '2nd amendment solutions' to political problems makes that a natural assumption.
 
I've seen nothing so far. But, can we now assume that conservatives are to blame for all of those death threats against the President, just as you claim liberals are responsible for whatever death threats Walker received? Or does it only go one way?

You've seen nothing so far?

What conclusion do you draw from this, and what in your estimation, would be the correct course of action? (hint - think "honesty")

Congrats... You are one of the rare few libs I have seen on this forum, with the honesty and integrity to admit when they were wrong and do the right thing.

Good Job.

The conclusion I draw - as would any reasonable person - is that a handful of 'death threats' against a Governor are far more important to right wing posters than the thuosands of death threats made against the President, which apparently don't count. At least not if the President is a liberal.

That's the conclusion I would reach.
 
I'm talking about the image in #19.

But haymarket was not and neither was I... What made you think he was commenting on an image that had not been posted, and that I was addressing his response to an image that he had not yet seen?

Thank you. I have edited the original post to reflect this.
 
I trust you were equally outraged by the death threats against the President? I missed your thread on that.

The president, or then presidential candidate Obama, seems to be able to protect himself. Chicago politics at its finest.

Lock and load Mr. President.

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl."

That's resonable... It's just a shame you mistakenly attributed that believe as on coming from me.

You got on my post. Reply to the correct post in the future, or we'll all be talking about different things.

Well then, I guess it's OK to threaten the President....:roll:

Thank you Wiggen. People like you make it so I don't have to post walls of text to illustrate my point. I appreciate it.

Your point being what, exactly? That death threats against the President don't matter because he's A) a liberal, and B) from Chicago?

Well, my aim in life is to make things easy for folks like you, Zyphlin. Good to know I'm succeeding.
 
Considering the valid death threats, the people making them should be prosecuted. I wonder if the DoJ will do anything about this. Doubtful, since they're biased.

Explain how the U.S. DoJ has any jurisdiction?

What federal law has been broken?
 
Since I was not using the picture as a basis for my argument, why should I?
Taking your posts at face value, it sounded like you wanted to know but didn't want to look it up yourself. :shrug:

Everyone knows that the person presenting an argument bears the responsibility for veryifying/sourcing any external claims presented. Well, almost everyone, it seems . . . .
Including the source of pictures? No... articles, links, sure. "Who made the picture". You gotta be kidding....
 
Is this thread some sort of contest over who can make a bigger ass of themselves and show the most biased information?
 
But if you say DOJ, it gives you an opportunity to take a shot at President Obama. Karl, you are a smart guy. I thought you would have figured this out by now. Never let any opportunity go by to take a shot at the President, whether it has anything to do with him or not. The First Commandment of Right Wing politics.
 
This is how liberals handle defeat at the polls, not to well.

The Milwaukee Police Department said Wednesday it's evaluating death threats made against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Twitter following the governor's recall election victory.
Political tensions in Wisconsin came to a fever pitch Tuesday night as the election results were announced. Multiple death threats surfaced on Twitter throughout the evening and into the morning. They were posted on the curation site Twitchy.com.
