The Secret Service is investigating two Twitter users who, apparently angered by the passage of the health care reform bill, took to the Internet Sunday to call for the assassination of President Obama.

Definitely a no-no.

I suspect this will get pulled. But while it is hear, let it be known that far worse things were directed toward GWB during his presidency.

[highlander_UW]

Calling for someone’s death is never the right way to go.

[mlocher]

A set up? A plant to give the MSM something to write about?

[thethirddegree]

I am surprised that there are only two. I had read late last year that these threats were keeping the SS really busy. I wouldn’t want to see Obama assassinated. I want him impeached and tried for treason.

[Howie66]

More likely than not, these people are associated with ACORN or SEIU.

This fits the template of those on the Socialist Left.

[Free America52]

Are they going to let everyone know that one of those people making the threats was an afro-american?

[muddler]

Black caucus at it again.

[Seruzawa]

There are nearly 300 million people in the USA. 6 billion in the world. We’re lucky that only two morons have said this shyt so far.

Big Brother is watching EVERY move we make and listening to EVERY word we say.

[mlocher]

Are they going to let everyone know that one of those people making the threats was an afro-american?

Good question. ABC news (website) did -- will the newspapers and the 6PM news casts do the same? I will never know since I cancelled my daily paper and don't watch network news.

[beaversmom]

The story says that both of them are black.

[Texas resident]

Another “yeah right” moment.
Useful dupes to garner sympathy for ozero.

[SZonian]

I’m with you.

No martyrdom, I want him totally disgraced and to be known as a failure for the rest of his life.

[highlander_UW]

PC proper way is to call it abortion or pro choice.

I remember an old episode of the Bill Cosby show where he was telling his son Theo..."I brought you into this world...I can take you out!"

But you're right, Obama is a strong proponent of post birth abortions...he fought for them in IL.

[AU72]

I see this and the Tea Party libels as Obama's "Reichstag Fire".

I predict some real violence will occur with the right being blamed giving the Obama and his Brownshirts in Congress the excuse to declare and emergency and pass 'enabling' legislation without the inconvience of Senate filibuster rules.

[Vaquero]

the “R” word best describes these Twitter idiots.

...if it wasn’t offensive to Sarah.

[Juana la Loca]

If that’s the case, remember, it didn’t work out so well for Hitler in the long run.
