Ridiculous! Has anyone here threatened, ever, to kidnap anyone? Has anyone here threatened to kidnap any of the Obama kids? Threatening to kidnap anyone in the First Family, protected by the Secret Service, is not the same as threatening anyone else. Hardly the same “slope”.
He did not make a threat, e.g., I am going to.... What he did was more hyperbole. Consider some of the comments in this discussion thread. For example, “Be a real shame if some decent American punched this washed up a-hole in the mouth if they saw him walking down the street....” These are, in my opinion, comparable. I am NOT dismissing his comment, just saying that taking a step back we’d better be careful what we wish for as we’ve all made comments one time or another that might be comparable, though likely less profane.
“Has anyone here threatened to kidnap any of the Obama kids?”
I think I threatened to send one of Michelle’s “healthy” public school lunches to her girl’s at their private school.
