"It was more of a political statement ... It's not like they were going to go out and shoot the president," said the cop photographed alongside several teenagers with guns posing next to a bullet-ridden Barack Obama T-shirt

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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