A Pennsylvania newspaper has issued an apology after it printed a letter calling for the execution of President Barack Obama.
The letter, printed on Memorial Day in the Daily Item of Sunbury, called the president the “coward-in-chief” and called for his execution “by guillotine, firing squad or public hanging.”
“Hey Barack, would you care to address the nation and expound on your grandiose plans for defeating this JV team which is whipping you soundly?,” W. Richard Stover of Lewisburg, Pa. wrote in the 370-word letter.
The newspaper issued an apology Thursday, saying there was “no excuse” for printing the letter.

We should apply the George W. Bush standard here: If they said it about Bush, then it can be said about ObaMao.
Very well-written letter, and he didn’t really call for the execution of Obama. Media is lying.
They shouldn’t have even apologized. This was the writer’s opinion, not the paper’s. Hey, at least he didn’t accompany his article with graphic illustrations. That may have rung a few alarm bells, maybe.
Considering the left called for the violation of Dubya’s daughters and worse with no repercussions, tell me why anyone should give a darn about Brak?
The conclusion may be understandably objectionable, but the impetus remains a valid concern: a great deal was sacrificed (in no small definition of the term)...to what end?
Yeah, he did. That’s about as close to saying it as you can get without actually saying it.
I have been calling for the muzzie to be drawn and quartered....he should be tried for treason and multiple other high crimes ...stripped of all that is worth anything and buried at sea with Osama...
I didn't read anything in that letter directly goading or encouraging people to harm the President.
I guess it falls under a "Thought Crime". - Tom
double standards.
Still haven’t understood why the Hate toward Bush (RINO)
This is an opinion letter not something written by anyone at the newspaper. I hope more people actually read the letter. It did not actually call for Obamas execution but rather a “regime change”. I think this was absolutely called for especially on Memorial Day. What better day to think about the current administrations stance on everything that our fallen soldiers have fought for. They couldn’t care less.
Are you forgetting the MOVIE that was made in which George Bush Jr. was assassinated?...while he was still in office?...screw these moonbats NEVER be polite to the subversive mental defective marxists.
Nope, didn’t forget.
Brokeback is too thin-skinned (...among other less neutral {potentially including some scatalogical} epidermal descriptors...) to let items like this go unnoticed. His ability to withstand insults or endure challenges doesn’t exist. Like most fags, he’s an effete creampuff wimp. I’ll bet he takes regular beatings from Moo’Shell.
I did.
What did he say that was wrong?
He is right and both the Constitution (Freedom of political speech)
and the Declaration of Independence ( When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.) is on his side.>/B>

I like that I can keep those thoughts in my dreams and to myself!
The letter writer didn’t mean “execution” in any other sense than Ø meant when he promised to “execute” the laws.
Oh, that’s what got him in trouble.
