The secret service is certainly investigating the one in Florida. I will await their outcome.

As I said, who cares? So what if one guy out of 100,000 yells something objectionable at a political rally? If the guy is a real threat to Obama, then toss him in jail. Either way, the Obama campaign and their lackeys in the media are wrong to make this a campaign issue. I do not want to see presidential campaigns to further devolve to the point where each campaign sends operatives with microphones to rallies to get some nutcase on tape.

I would think that a death threat is a pretty serious thing. Especially against a black presidential candidate.

And speaking of threads that were largely ignored, I think the thread about the findings of the Troopergate investigation didn't get very far.

This stuff was escalating to the point where McCain had to address it. If he had simply calmed it down when it first started happening then it would be a moot point. It wasn't bothering him until the "liberal" media became concerned about it.

To be fair, McCain did call out that woman who called Obama an Arab. And while he can't control everyone, he should make it clear all the things that Barack Obama isn't.

He has

 

Obama isn't qualified to be POTUS.

 

THat's the most important thing Obama isn't.

How do mutliple threads on an investigation that concluded that Palin properly in trying to reassign an employee that she had authority to fire at will constitute a thread that was "largely ignored?" As I recall, the two theads each were pretty active and there have been many other posts in other threads, such as your's, that have made gratuitous references to Tasergate.

Do you believe that somebody yelling "Kill him!" at a public event where the target of the statement is not even present constitutes a sedrious "death threat?" Should the guy be jailed if the investigation finds nothing more than witnesses who can identity him?

Yes.

Not that it matters to anything at all, but the "Palin Abused Power" thread got just 12 replies.

Yes.

That is very sad. The jails could be quickly filled up if police forces around the country rounded up every drunken fan uttering similar things every week at football and hockey games.

There were at least two threads. Not that it matters.

Yes.

Political correctness rears it's ugly head. :creepy:

So now it's just political correctness if you're against death threats?

So it's a "death threat" if someone jokingly yells "kill the ump"?
