"I can’t count the number of people who I saw post similar things."

So that makes it okay. Carry on.

On the other hand, I always have the feeling that if I were to “use the n-word”, some guy on the street could beat me half to death, and a court would tell me that I used “fighting words” and deserved my beating.

So ... available for recall to duty by the C-in-C?

Nicholas Savino was sentenced in March to a year in jail after posting on the White House Web site in August 2013, "President Obama the Anti-Christ, As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead."

Most threats against Obama issued online

"Other sources, who because of the sensitivity of the matter asked to not be identified, said the president still receives more threats than previous presidents, although the number is lower than in the immediate aftermath of his first election."

I wonder...

The Left is a poisonous, rancid soup of no belief in God, no moral values, and rabid adherence to a "Do as thou wilt" ideology that encourages them to use violence in the furtherance of it.

And to top it all off, they are filled with murderous hatred towards anyone who doesn't believe as they do.

What could possibly go wrong?

I thought that threatening the life of the POTUS was a federal crime.
