The Marine is a moron if this is true, and the prosecution would be appropriate.
But, beyond this you will see now that the Holder and the Justice Department has more money directed to investigate civil rights violations under Obama’s new stimulus plan, you can bet that most speech against the “One” will be viewed as hate speech.

The system could either force the issue by ordering them to be deployed or make it a non-issue by burying them someplace stateside and safe.
If one or both were to actually refuse a deployment, which would lead to charges, then the issue would bec ome national.

“what about all threats against Palin or Bush? Just freesdom of expression?”
He’s an active duty Marine. He should have known better. I deal with this all the time with my soldiers. (I’m a Major in the Army). No matter how much you dislike the CINC, you just can’t trash him or threaten him in public.
To: ex91B10
No, not even in my heart. I don’t think that way.

It never included threatening to kill someone.

When will the roundup begin of those that "think" of removing him via the ballot box?
Hopefully never. I still have a shred of hope that the American people will at least rise up against Obama's more radical power grabs and squeeze him enough to stop him. Four years is a long time - none of us really know what could happen to Zero's popularity and Presidency between now and 2012.

It never included threatening to kill someone.Bull crap. I've threatened to kill people before. So have you.
It is our right to express our disgust for people by saying that we'd like to kill them or like to see them die.
That right is secured by the first amendment. It is only when we act on that threat that we should be subject to prosecution.
I am willing to bet that there has never been an assasination of a president by someone who has publicly threatened to kill them. Assassins don't threaten to kill presidents. They just do it.

Then the next step is a popular revolt. At no time, though, should that include threats against the President's life.

**********You don’t like him, go the legal channels******
You mean like the Supreme Court?? He doesnt have standing.
A threat like this will always be taken seriously, and he was stupid to make it.
Having said that, there are no channels that will listen .
We can only hope to survive until 2010.

No kidding. Go to the dummie underground site on any given day and see that kind of remark. These charges are baseless and reek of communism. Where’s the ACLU to protect this man’s right to free speech?/sarc/

You are right, I know how they feel about us.
Facts is that I have a Harvard Educated 1/2 Hispanic son-in-law. (who I love as a son) And I have lots of non-White friends, many on this forum.
All the MSM wants to do is divide us. They see that Southern states have been more driven together because of past events than the rest of the nation. They intend to divide us (the nation) and conquer us. (Subject us to a corrupt global government)
I will die opposing that.
