Multiple Twitter Users Threaten to Assassinate Mitt Romney: ‘Shoot Him Dead’
The Blaze ^ | 8 October 2012 | Jason Howerton

The race to the White House can be ugly and cruel, an inconvenient truth that rears its ugly head in U.S. politics every four years. Unfortunately, there will always be those who reserve pure, unadulterated hatred for anyone they disagree with.

Nothing displays that fact more clearly than the dozens of horrific death threats made against GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney via Twitter, which were uncovered Sunday night. South Carolina attorney Todd Kincannon, who is also the former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party, took notice of the intense hatred coming from the left and directed the threatening messages to the Secret Service and FBI’s official Twitter accounts.

Dude, what are you talking about? Nearly all of the men who have attempted or carried out assassinations have been leftists.

Just, PLEASE, do nothing to Hussein Obama. I get chills up my spine from a Joe Biden Presidency.

It’s well beyond time that the Left gets treated like an adult instead of a petulant child.

That’s what I meant about the ‘exceptions’.

Most leftists are indeed all talk. The net is filled with leftist threats that are empty posturing. But it is true that the vast majority to the 99th percentile of actual incidents of violence are the acts of the left.

All I was getting at is that they are mostly ‘talk’, whereas a Right winger is opt to follow up on whatever he says.

No, Todd Kincannon is the attorney retweeting these posts and CC’ing the Secret Service. He’s one of the good guys.

Hopefully, the Secret Service has someone that understands retweets on Twitter, and realize that.

If you go to twitchy.com there was an article yesterday about this. The person that tweeted a threat suddenly tweeted, I was just joking. HAHAHA I’m guessing that the Secret Service paid a visit.

The country has raised some fine savages. What kind of people express themselves like this?

They’re the leeches on the buffalo’s azz...convinced that they should be the head of the buffalo, so the buffalo better start walking backwards.

The buffalo needs to walk backwards right up against a nice barky tree, and give his rear a good scratchin’.

The mentally ill left - is that redundant? - are really starting to freak out. Their dream of destroying America is at risk. I hope they’ve got Romney and Ryan fully protected. The urban crowd and the Amish are the ones that worry me most.

I’ve got some doubts about this article. At the end it says that “Dante Jamar Sims, 21” threatened Obama. Is that a typo?

These people could be traced if they choose.

Who’s to say that these threats aren’t originating from the Chicago/Obama campaign?? This may be the only way the chair can win.....eliminate your opponents by any means necessary.

PRAY for the protection and guidance of Romney and Ryan.

They traced them and all accounts were registered to Chris Matthews.

Eventually, it will become so common that they will stop investigating threats against Republicans.

“What kind of people express themselves like this?”

These are the “presidents’” voters and peeps. I imagine that speaking out against them could bring the SS to our doors.

The typical response of the totalitarians, kill the opposition candidates. Joe Stalin, head of that glorious socialist empire from 1924 to 1953, murdered millions. Of 1966 delegates to one party congress, stalin had 1108—all stalin supporters—arrested and killed. Of the 139 central committee members, 98 were shot. IN spite of these historical facts, the nation worshiped stalin. He made himself a god. Every public park (like TV today) displayed his statue. Every newspaper published lavish tributes daily (like same today). For one of his birthdays, an entire museum in Moscow was stripped so it could be filled with his birthday presents. He was called father of the peoples, the greatest genius in history, the shining sun of humanity, the life-giving force of socialism. These are precisely the historical facts.
