On my trips to DU, I've read calls for revolution, sedition, and yes, threats. and now Skinner has had a personal visit from the SS! But he will not cooperate in any investigation against those who made threats against the President. Even though he says they were banned last week, Skinner will protect their identities if he can...
In all fairness, the SS asked for identifying info without a warrant. But they did ask nicely! Skinner doesn't want to give then any information even with a warrant, which is now in the works.
Methinks the great Mucky-muck Skinner will fold like a tortilla when faced with a real--legal--action, in spite of all his tough talk.

I'd been poking through DU earlier & saw this. The responses were interesting. I thought all of the DU'ers were already down in Guantanamo.

Can't they just shoot him?

Because no one is qualified to asses the validity of these threats except USSS and in violating both law and DUs posting requirements, these potential assassins have given up right to anonymity, but Skinner protests them anyway, real headline is "DU Encourages Members Who Threaten President"

Their lawyer must moonlight as a birthday clown and sleeps at a Holiday Inn Express.

Threats against a sitting president or any citizen is neither free speech or protected speech, so I don't know what the hang up is.

Check out the responses.
WE are the ones being blamed.

Interesting thread on DUmp. Wonder if the banned DUmmies in question were radical moonbats or one of DU's resident pro-terrorist fiends.

This marks the official kick-off of the secret Halliburton-built camps! What a great day!

Correction:
Their lawyer must have gotten his credentials from a crackerjack box, moonlights as a birthday clown and sleeps at a Holiday Inn Express.
There now, fixed.

Ah yes, it's been a while since someone has pulled out the whole VRWC theory.
Oh, and of course...

The DUmmies are in complete meltdown. I guess they did not listen to their Mom's when she told them "never spit into the wind".

In a situation like this it is always a real good idea to consult a lawyer. And then to follow his advice. If you're not comfortable with the lawyer's advice get a new lawyer.
If Skinner isn't careful he could find himself being sued by these two average Demonrat Underpoop members. Personally I wouldn't do anything except laugh if this were to happen, but I want to point out to all FReepers that complying with a subpoena doesn't necessarily protect you legally. Consult a lawyer, make sure you completely understand your legal situation.

So the owner of DU banned users for violating rules of posting but feels compelled to protect the identity of a poster who threatened the president?
hypothetical Skinner household conversation:
"Hey man, it's against our rules to threaten the president with assassination, but you know, we sorta agree he should be assassinated, so we're gonna give the assassin as much cover as we can, since maybe he can pull it off or something. Dude lemme toot that, losing my buzz. Dude, did you hear? Cheney bites the heads of live kittens and drinks their blood. I read it on DU."

Of course we're being blamed. We are the focus of evil in the world. If anything bad happens to any DUmmie ever it is Free Republic's fault.
Meanwhile let's just finish stuffing and mounting the Dixie Chicks for our collection. We'll put them next to Dan Rather and Mary Mapes.
The taxidermists did a good job with Dan, didn't they? It's almost like he is still alive.

Skinner should hire Larry Klayman... then he'd be untouchable.

You can tell the difference?
