Bravo, Arizona. You make Gabby Giffords proud.

Why are liberals so hateful?
 
2012-01-27 09:13:28 AM
A perfect cop breeding perfect future cops. This is the type who will, without question or hesitation, shoot a citizen, or a president if ordered to by someone up the chain of command. Violence, or imagery of it, usually isn't a political statement, it's a terror statement. Can't wait for these teens to join this cop as battle dressed officers of the police state.

Ulgh. These assholes should do the rest of society a favor and just kill themselves.

I'm in a bad mood today.

On the one hand, I believe in strong free-speech protections. On the other hand, I am not too happy with a police officer showing such poor judgement.
 
2012-01-27 09:16:21 AM
...and that political statement says, "I wanna shoot the President."
 
2012-01-27 09:16:23 AM
Barack Obama should just buy a machine gun and blast some beer cans on the lawn of the White House to show rednecks that he's not a bad guy.

The rampant cop hate is stupid.

But this cop was dumb.

Enjoy your secret service interrogations, idiots.

He admitted he was embarrassed by the photo and added he would risk his own life for the president's.

For some reason, I don't believe this.

No, it's cool to hate the poor ones too, as long as you describe them as "entitled" first.

"It was more of a political statement ... It's not like they were going to go out and lynch a black guy" said the cop photographed alongside several teenagers with a white hoods posing next to a hanged effigy.

"It was more of a political statement ... It's not like they were going to go out and exterminate the Jews" said the cop photographed alongside several teenagers in SS uniforms posing next to pictures of Auschwitz

"It was more of a political statement ... It's not like they were going to go out and shoot a cop" said the cop photographed alongside several teenagers with guns posing next to a bullet-ridden "fark DA POLICE" tshirt

Oh wait, that last one would involve a beatdown. Sorry about that.

I'd leave him off the security detail anyway...

If you posed for a photo, I don't really believe you when you say you're embarrassed.

No it isn't. Only brown people are terrorists.

Just another isolated incident. Nothing to see here, move along.
 
2012-01-27 09:25:43 AM
Yep, that's poor judgement all around. The Secret Service has investigated far more oblique threats to various presidents than that. The officer should have known that and acted accordingly.
 
2012-01-27 09:25:43 AM
It is beyond stupid... Still, no outrage here on Fark when protestors have signs about killing Bush. Weird.
 
2012-01-27 09:27:30 AM
TFA: It was more of a political statement ...

Indeed it was... and political statements which involve guns being fired at the President of the United States are generally considered unacceptable, or even threatening. How this escaped even your tiny mind is beyond me.

Too true... You should apply for a job at FoxNews.

So I tend to agree with your statement, but something just occurred to me. The SCOTUS has ruled that the burning of an American flag is legitimate political speech, but symbolically isn't that just arson?

Here in N. GA, they like to call Obama "uppitry", as in "up a tree". It seems to many to be the pinnacle of clever wordplay.

Approves.


I couldn't remember this guy, so I looked him up: "Adkisson, a former private in the United States Army from 1974 to 1977, says that he was motivated by hatred of Democrats, liberals, African Americans and homosexuals... Adkisson's manifesto also cited the inability to find a job, and that his food stamps were being cut."

Are we sure this guy didn't found the Tea Party?

That image depicts a truly appalling display, and I would endorse criminal charges against the pictured individual. No valid reason can excuse the improper use of the word "there" in place of the word "their". Additionally, the individual is issuing a threat against a then-sitting United States President, also a criminal offense.

I'm sure such outstanding individuals would never show any carelessness while handling a firearm but it looks like the kid standing third from the right is about to blow off the head of the kid in the read shirt.

Is it a silly thing to do? Sure. Is it an actual threat to the person or national security? *rolls eyes* No.

Are both republicans and democrats hypocrites when they point the finger at the other party for doing it? img1.fark.net

Sigh. I may not agree with their actions, but I would defend to the death their right to be assholes.

Yeah the hipster with the cardigan is every bit as threatening as five thugs and a cop with automatic weapons. Good analogy.

So what do you want? A denouncement? Fine. They're being stupid and irresponsible. I said that even when the man was in office. No one should be making death threats against our president.

All better now, sport?

Tweeted this to a woman yesterday who was virtual high-fiving Jan Brewer for disrespecting the President. I reminded her taht they used to be concerned with respect for the office. Her response?

"Talk to me when you have as many followers as I have."

Smh. I blame myself for trying.
 
2012-01-27 09:39:52 AM
A few protesters have carried signs advocating the assassination of President Bush. This means that ALL Liberals are violent lunatics and hypocrites, since they are all a hivemind with identical beliefs.

OnlyM3: Are both republicans and democrats hypocrites when they point the finger at the other party for doing it?

I don't think people are going ZOMG REPUBLICANTS so much as "well, those guys are a bunch of idiots."

Which is totally reasonable.
