Full title: 'It’s time to arrest and hang him high': Florida politician running for office calls for execution of President Obama on his Facebook and Twitter accounts

[Windflier]

Interesting angle — this is a black guy running as a Republican and saying these things about Obama.

No wonder he’s getting so much attention.

Since the left has all the stones, if we start executing POTI, it’ll be all the Republicans that get it.

RE :”A Florida man running for a seat in the state legislature is standing behind a Tweet where he wrote ‘It's time to arrest the President and ‘hang him high.’

Entertaining but if he was running for federal office I would hope he would know that its not legal to arrest a sitting POTUS, nor is it practical.

'It's time to arrest the President and 'hang him high.'

That comment is way out of line. You have to have a trial first.

[digger48]

They keep pushing the idea that he originally wrote the tweet.

As I understand it, he merely re-tweeted it and agreed with the sentiment.

Someone has to be an “early adopter.”

[Nervous Tick]

Why, that scoundrel...

...say, does he have bumper stickers? Where can I get me one? :-)

[right way right]

This guy is definitely off the plantation.

[RginTN]

Why should I be outraged afterall Obama & co called Republicans terrorists, hostage takers, granny killers, arsonists and traitors. Most of these criminal accusations lead to the death penalty if legally prosecuted.

[VerySadAmerican]

The republicans will hang him out to dry. They always eat their own.

this man needs donations!

i suppose bitch mcconnell and no-balls boner will try to punch him in the face.

[Vendome]

Well, he is a Black American. I’m uh gonna gimm him uh pass...

[nvscanman]

Obungler has given material aid ajd assistance to Al Qaeda.
That meets the black letter legal definition of treason. Hanging
wokrs for me but a firing squad or Ole Sparky will do fine.

Florida politician running for office calls for execution of President Obama, 'It’s time to arrest and hang him high'

I see nothing in that quoted sentence that says execution. Hanging may merely refer to a fencepost wedgie, which -- while uncomfortable -- is more a mocking thing than something involving death or serious harm.

[Caipirabob]

The article is a complete and total lie. He never called outright for this. He agreed to the sentiments of a tweet that included the phrase, but essentially he advocated that the president broke the law and committed treason, which is true.
