Uproar In Maine Over Obama Assassination Sign

The sign is despicable. I would even go so far as to say treasonous. It shouldn't be tolerated. (And wouldn't if it happened in the South).

When I showed this article to my boss pre-elect Obama all he could say was 

"Well I'll be a monkeys uncle"

was the sign posted because of the 20 year anniversary?

what is meant by that is every twenty years an attempt has been made.

this is terrible

Proof that the constitution is dead. Freedom of speech my arse. I'd like to place my dollar bet for November 22nd. Hopefully its sooner than later. Pu$$ies.

These are exciting times.

Personally this is just the kind of change I'm looking for. Its better to get this stuff out in the open than letting it stew and simmer.

Lets all be honest instead of Politically correct, even if it hurts.

This is bigotry in it's most despicable costume. When was the last time anyone publically advocated the death of a President Elect? It does not matter if this is the first time or the one millionth time, if and when it has been said or written, each time it is or was wrong, period. The reason for the sign is obvious,  and some fools including those wishing to present themselves as being learned Constitution scholars, are attempting to make this a free speech issue. This stupidity is reprehensible, and has nothing to do with free speech. Yes a case can be made for this to be considered a constitutional prerogative, but at the very least, there is a moral and rational issue that is every bit as compelling as the right of a bigoted fool to advocate an unlawful act. Terrorist threats are punishable by law. Violation of a person's civil rights can get you a bid in the slams. To threaten the life of the President is a violation of the law. The President Elect is covered by this law. Those ambulance chasers that hope to make a name for themselves defending lost causes bring it on. How small is the mind that wants to kill someone that is no threat to their well being. How demented is the mind that advocates the death of those who don’t look like them, or disagree with them. To take another persons live for any reason is wrong. Including when this action is taken by the Government. Being a retired Police Officer, I have no problem using deadly force to effect a lawful objective, when, and only when, there is no viable alternative. Those of you who think it is funny, or justified, how would you feel if it had been you that was  targeted?. Or if some idiot placed your mother, son or daughter, in that pool? I suspect your attitude would be rather different. It is easy to be brave and stupid on paper, but if confronted with the situation where it is you that must suffer at the hands of some deranged individual, then the paradigm shifts, you now look for someone to rescue your dumb azz. I have not yet seen even the most racist piece of crap, refuse my offer of aid. I have seen the hate of some I have protected, I have even seen the resentment in the attitude and actions, when I have bailed others out of a bad situation. I can remember a week many  years ago when I saved the lives of three different men in three different incidents. One Black man, and two white men, one of whom was a police officer on his honeymoon, that had been slashed while attempting to negotiate the sale price of a hooker. Not one of them even thanked me. But I can also remember people that never stopped thanking me for assistance rendered. I can remember delivering a baby, on the floor of an apartment in the projects, I was never so scared, the paramedics laughed at me for being scared of this little baby. I can remember an old lady whose toilet flooded her apartment that embraced me for saving her few possessions. I can remember another old lady that would call once a month and claim to be having chest pains that seemed to know I was working, she only wanted someone to talk to her a while. I can talk all day about the haters, but when you are pulling their punk azzes out of a wrecked car. Or pulling some punk out of a stalled elevator, they resent your assistance, but they never say I will wait for a white man to help.
