Anyone wanna bet this guy is a lefty?
This guy should be locked up for treason and fostering terrorism.
Hell,,,the Feds should've "detained" every Liberal Nut waving signs about shooting President Bush. :lol: But we'd of run out of Porta-Crappers to keep them in.:doh
It was wrong when they were burning effigies of Bush. It's wrong now. Disagreements with the President do not warrant physical attacks on them.

You're exactly right. Send a few of them to the gas chamber and we'll start seeing people be a little more respectful to the president and I don't give a damn who he/she is.

Yep, they sure are a real class act. I imagine the (R)epugnants will squirm out of this.
EPIC FAIL - Exactly what I said the (R)epugnant (R)ight would do, squirm there way out of it. It is not just the threat to the President, but to his wife and children, god the (R)epugnant (R)ight are so morally corrupt. Way to fail on this test.
First of all, it's not surprising that an extremist nutball moron would hold a sign like this. Secondly, it's pathetic that people use said nutballs as political currency by associating them with the political ideology that they don't agree with. Sadly, both sides are guilty of this crap. It was annoying when Bush was President and it's annoying now.
What's more important to you?EPIC FAIL - Exactly what I said the (R)epugnant (R)ight would do, squirm there way out of it. It is not just the threat to the President, but to his wife and children, god the (R)epugnant (R)ight are so morally corrupt. Way to fail on this test.
George Washington said:I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
(snip)
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

burning an effigy may not be nice but it is free speach. Now if there is a sign that refers to the effigy that advocates that the object of the effigy be end of lifed then we are talking crime.
Yep, they sure are a real class act. I imagine the (R)epugnants will squirm out of this.
Both people are idiots who don't respect our country. Lock them both up IMO. You can not threaten the President. Call him socialist. Paint a hitler mustache or devil horns on him -- but once you directly threaten or advocate violence towards the democratically elected leader of our country, you're not one of us anymore. Buh-bye, asshole.
That being said -- the way some people try to deflect or derail a discussion by digging up something the other extreme once did -- pretty lame Harshaw. Pretty lame.
Partisan hack douchebaggery of the highest order.
Deal with the issue in OP or don't post.
No both sides are not doing this crap and to claim so is only an attempt to deflect the reality of the situation.
Yes some on the left may have been critical of Bush and some were harsher than others...
What test?EPIC FAIL - Exactly what I said the (R)epugnant (R)ight would do, squirm there way out of it. It is not just the threat to the President, but to his wife and children, god the (R)epugnant (R)ight are so morally corrupt. Way to fail on this test.
Oh come off it Haz, he IS dealing with the OP. From the OP:
"Yep, they sure are a real class act. I imagine the (R)epugnants will squirm out of this"
The OP was the one that specifically decided to take a sign by a single idiot and try to slander the entire group of people that have (R) next to their name. If he's going to do that then calling out the hypocrisy of it by showing that for one to apply his standard then he TOO would be a "real class act" because idiots on his side did the same type of thing. That IS addressing the OP.
If the OP didn't write out a partisan hack line then you'd have had a point, but the OP made this a hyper partisan thread and thus attacking his hyper partisan point is spot on.
Squirm out of what? A nutball holding a vicious sign who was rightly arrested?
Me, I'm going to hold you personally responsible for this guy. Only fair, right?
No both sides are not doing this crap and to claim so is only an attempt to deflect the reality of the situation.
The leftwing wackos are not in control of the party and never have been.
Yes some on the left may have been critical of Bush and some were harsher than others...
There has been a major change though....The left wing fringe wackos are still very much the fringe. The Republicans on the other hand and shattered too the point where the wacko fringe is now the base and their current leaders are just as wacked out.
The wacko fringe on both sides were barely even newsworthy not long ago. Now it is all that is left of the Republican party in their pundits, their politicians and what is left of the dwindleing party supporters. They are reprsented at the townhalls. Old white pissed off men mostly who are pissed that a black man won the whitehouse. Hatemongers, fearmongers and racists.
Their agruments at the townhalls prove it. With all of the legimate construtive debate people could be having all they have to offer is nitwit death panel spew and other nonsenseacle fearmongering junk.
This wacko needs to be jailed and investigated to the highest degree..let's just see where his past connections lead. I will be interesting.

They don't really have a choice.Some nut holding up a silly sign is not what the SS should be concerned about.

Ummmm.... the issue in the OP, the way I saw it was posting an example of an extremist and then generalizing that he is in some way 'mainstream' of all republicans.Both people are idiots who don't respect our country. Lock them both up IMO. You can not threaten the President. Call him socialist.

For a sign? I don't think so. I don't think that unless there is credibility to the threat that he can't be arrested. There should be no law against being an idiot.

Huh? Saying that Obama, his wife, and his two children should die isn't a big deal? :shock:
If my name was on that sign, I would be horrified that someone was wishing my and my family's death.
