Freerepublic.com is going to get shut down by the Secret Service for threatening President Obama's life. If it doesn't happen because of a flimsy proviso in the post discussed here, then we live in a still more dangerous world.

Scandalum magnatum
At one time, the honour of peers was especially protected by the law; while defamation of a commoner was known as libel or slander, the defamation of a peer (or of a Great Officer of State) was called scandalum magnatum. The Statute of Westminster of 1275 provided that “from henceforth none be so hardy to tell or publish any false News or Tales, whereby discord, or occasion of discord or slander may grow between the King and his People, or the Great Men of the Realm.”[18] Scandalum magnatum was punishable under the aforesaid statute as well as under further laws passed during the reign of Richard II.[19] Scandalum magnatum was both a tort and a criminal offence. The prohibition on scandalum magnatum was first enforced by the King’s Council. During the reign of Henry VII, the Star Chamber, a court formerly reserved for trial of serious offences such as rioting, assumed jurisdiction over scandalum magnatum, as well as libel and slander, cases. The court, which sat without a jury and in secret, was often used as a political weapon and a device of royal tyranny, leading to its abolition in 1641; its functions in respect of defamation cases passed to the common law courts. Already, however, the number of cases had dwindled as the laws of libel, slander and contempt of court developed in its place. By the end of the eighteenth century, scandalum magnatum was obsolete. The prohibition on it was finally repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1887.[20]

These people are so aggressively retarded, it’s painful.
None of the posts quoted were threatening.
I thought their message was so sound that nothing can stand against it?
I've been saying for a while that Messiah Derangement Syndrome won't do us any good and would make us look as foolish as BDS made the libs look. I wish folks would think about that when posting.
They have no justification. If they shut you down, it must be temporary. Does anyone have an alternative way to keep up on the situation if they do such a thing, God forbid?
I feel certain that someone in Obama’s administration is trying to find some excuse to shut you down, just as they are working on a way to stop Rush Limbaugh.
They don’t like dissenting voices. “Liberal” is certainly a misnomer.
I never said I wanted to kill Millstone.
I just want him removed from office.
Are they all worried about those references to watering the tree?
Jim, have you recieved any notice from the SS to shut down?
We all know that it is going to come to this, don’t we? This site will be shut down within a year. Is there any one here that didn’t think that to be the case? I mean really?
That is what they are doing now with Rush
I just looked at the KOS link and the commentary and the “excepts” they posted from “FR”.
If that was the worst we say,then we are miles above the DU in tastes and restraint.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberal...
As usual from Daily KOS, pure bull.
I did not recognize a single example posted on the site.
Fully expected to see my screen name on one.

Do you remember the looney-toons posts on KOS during the Bush administration. No one went ballistic over them then.
They are simply NUTS!
Hate filled NUTS.
They are so deluded, they think republicans own it all.
**hurt my eyeballs going to those sites.**
Trip to KOokS ... NOW OFF for my SHOWER!!
There is no president. The guy in the oval office is a usurper. He has not proven that he’s eligible. The Secret Service is protecting a fake. They dropped the ball when the threats against President Bush were thrown around by the lefty bloggers.
Yes, we all remember when the producers/writers/actors/financiers of this were shipped off to Guantanamo...

The plan has changed, we're not meeting at the white house. /s
Being threatened with getting shut down by Air America is like being threatened with a gourmet meal by McDonald’s.
I recognized a few, but they weren’t bad.
I’m sure they’ve treated Bush just as badly, if not worse.
Also, Stabenow’s husband Tom Athans admitted to police that he used the Internet to find a prostitute and pay for the services. Athans told told police he stopped at the hotel to see a female prostitute he met online. After calling her on the phone, he was given a room number and met the woman at the door. Once he was inside he placed $150 on a table. The woman took the money and performed oral sex on him, Athans told the police.
Like none of the lefties ever discussed dire consequences for President Bush.
Wasn’t there a movie about the assassination of “W”?
