I believe in Freedom of Speech, but this is scary. We haven't heard about this in the media.

I read that. You mean that our SS isn't going after the Twitter and Facebook accounts of people who make such threats against Romney as they do trying to track down members of Anonymous? Imagine that. It seems that under the Obama administration, our Secret Service agents now consider debauchery one of their government benefits. Our country has gone to hell in a handbasket. OBAMA MUST GO!

The same bull**** was said in the opposite direction in the last election, and there happens to have been a shot fired at the Obama campaign headquarters in Colorado.

Lunatics would do that, doesn't matter what party, or what candidate they support, its lunacy.

So you got 10 anonymous tweets and you really beleive these are actually people from the left who are doing it? My guess is that these are Romney supporters who are trying to give Obama supporters a bad name.

Every president and every candidate for president has had death threats made against him/her. In this age of Twitter and Facebook it stands to reason those threats get more exposure. Anonymous or not, if they are serious enough, the Secret Service can and will track them down. I think it's totally irresponsible for the OP's website to re-tweet and publish those threats. They are using those threats for their own selfish purposes. The proper thing to do would be to forward them to the authorities.

Of course they aren't from the Left. They spelled, "assassinate" correctly...unlike other words such as "said" (sed), and, "gunna".

Actually, the threats are coming from the Tea Party.
