Another Twitter threat to Obama, Secret Service takes note
By GottaLaff

My Twitter pal IanDavidB* called the Secret Service on this guy and they listened. The Boston office forwarded it to "The Internet Threat Desk", taking a particular interest in this tweet:

<snip>

As you know, I continue to air this horrific stuff out, because I feel that ignoring it is allowing the miscreants way too much wiggle room. By exposing them, it allows the Secret Service to nail a few of them, and it calls them out for what they are: Racists, bigots, terrorists.

The level of hatred is unacceptable. The boldness with which some of these animals bear their fangs is downright scary. Whether they do it solely for attention, or because they are committed to their brand of toxic prejudicial sludge, it's out there and needs to stop.

And I repeat my demand for those in positions of leadership to stand up to them and condemn them publicly, on a daily basis, until we see this violently ugly trend ebb.

Note: DU Moderators have asked that we do NOT link directly to the anti-Obama guy's twitter page or to any of his threats please. Thanks!

2. Twitter doesn't censor for content, only spam.
According to Twitter, if someone threatens to rape you, it is a disagreement between users.

<Tea Baggers, take note. You wouldn't want another Oklahoma City on your resumes.>

I disagree, I believe that's exactly what a lot of these teabagging nuts want.

3. Hope they get him locked up where he belongs.
This is beyond freedom of speech. It's a direct threat against the president.

6. Well, obviously he's a Liberal because Hitler was a Liberal.
You know.

Because Hitler loved the gays and Diversity and stuff.
