[Poohbah]

Crude, rude, and certainly stupid,

Nothing to cry about.

Nope, nothing to cry about. Nothing to keep this gentleman employed over, though.

[maxwellp]

This Secret Service agent sounds like a great American! God bless him. And maybe he had someone lost on 9/11. My sister-in-law got caught running for her life on 9/11 at the WTC. She hates Muslims with a passion as do I. These people want to destroy America. Why should we not hate them? The Secret Service agent should receive a medal. As long as America wants to be "diversified" and as long as Muslims want to take advantage of America's supreme "kindess" they will make inroads that are not acceptable to me, an American.

[Poohbah]

This Secret Service agent sounds like a great American!

He also sounds like a lousy Secret Service agent.

[Militiaman7]

Get a grip why don't ya.

You'd actually fire someone over this?

I guess PC is really taking over.

Have the guy apologize, make him write 100 times on a blackboard: I will not write Christian remarks on Muslim 'fridge calendars again.

End of story.

Whatever happened to the punishment should fit the crime? Oh, I forgot, this concerns Islam. (Calling PC Police)

[Drew68]

While I hate muslims and wish them nothing less than a painful death for every last one of them, this was a stupid move --especially if it affects the outcome of a trial.

Then again, we are FOOLS for trying these subhumans in a court of law. We are at war with Islam (whether we like it or not) and these creatures are the enemy. This animal is nothing less than a saboteur and he should be taken out and shot.

But, this is just my opinion.

[texson66]

If I were head of the FBI, I would give this man a commendation! I am so sick of PC everywhere! Can anyone image how we would have fought WWII in a PC fashion? You West Coast people would now be speaking Japanese and the East Coast, German!

[sinkspur]

Nope, nothing to cry about. Nothing to keep this gentleman employed over, though.

I agree. He will be quietly reassigned outside the Secret Service or be fired.

If this doofus wants to take his chances, break into the house, and scrawl graffiti on his own time, he should knock himself out.

But, to act like a bigoted teenager on MY DIME deserves a boot up the ass.

[ElkGroveDan]

he and his wife found that "Islam is Evil" and "Christ is King" had been written on the prayer calendar attached to the refrigerator

Sounds like a good idea for a bumper sticker;

Islam is Evil - Christ is King!

[sinkspur]

You'd actually fire someone over this?

Yep.

What if a SS agent, while investigating a threat made by a pasty-faced white guy, wrote "Jesus sucks. To hell with Christians", all over the side of his double-wide?

You'd be demanding his scalp.

I don't want people who work for tax money expressing their bigoted opinions while on the job!

If this dummy wants to do it on his own time, let him.

[1bigdictator]

Poohbah< Nope, nothing to cry about. Nothing to keep this gentleman employed over, though.

Well... he might be black, in which case, good luck firing him.

[Poohbah]

Get a grip why don't ya.

I do have a grip.

You'd actually fire someone over this?

Any evidence from this search will probably be ruled inadmissable due to this agent's actions, possibly jeopardizing the case he was working, and possibly allowing one or more terrorists to remain at liberty to plan their nefarious deeds. As far as I'm concerned, he should find a line of work that is less demanding.

I guess PC is really taking over.

No, I'm just one of those weirdos who expects agents to maintain a professional demeanor and not jeopardize the case with their own stupidity.

Whatever happened to the punishment should fit the crime? Oh, I forgot, this concerns Islam. (Calling PC Police)

Whatever happened to expecting agents to behave professionally while working a case? Oh, I forgot, this concerns Islam (Calling the Spastic Freeper Knee-Jerk Police).

[Militiaman7]

Wrong.

See it all the time, in the paper, on TV at the movies, even here on FR from time to time.

I just try to remember what my daddy always said from the pulpit. It went something like this "there isn't anyone going to send you to hell except yourself".

[Poohbah]

Do you understand the difference between a private citizen or entity such as a newspaper expressing those views, and a Secret Service agent expressing those views in an official capacity while serving a search warrant?

[Militiaman7]

What a great autobiography, Poohbah "Spastic Knee-Jerk Freeper", but I don't think it will sell well at amazon.com

I could care less about the guy I think it was stupid but he should not loose his job over this.

[Poohbah]

You get the kind of behavior you tolerate. Next time you hear about some "militia man" getting roughed up by the Feds, don't complain.

[1bigdictator]

Bump. Its not like there is overflowing talent at the secret service... he seems like a keeper to me. Zero tolerance if you disparage a minority... but should a minority espouse bigotry against whites and Jews he/she is hailed as a enlightened multiculturalist.

[Militiaman7]

You are equating 3 or 4 words written on a calender to someone getting roughed up by the Feds?

As the former Congressman from Ohio said "Beam me up".

[Poohbah]

I've heard people pitch a fit because they got called a "militia wingnut" and claimed that as being "roughed up" and "abused" by the FBI.

As far as what this guy did--it was wrong for him to do it, it was wrong for his pettiness to jeopardize the case, and if he can't contain himself while on official business, then he needs to find less demanding work. That's all.

[sinkspur]

You are equating 3 or 4 words written on a calender to someone getting roughed up by the Feds?

Those three or four words will allow some slick defense attorney to Furmanize this guy and possibly wreck the case.

The galactically stupid have no business in the Secret Service.

[HennepinPrisoner]

Secret Service agent has admitted he scrawled anti-Muslim statements on a prayer calendar

Good on him!
