So if I were to publicly call for the death of .. Oh, I dunno .. Obama or 'Less Than Sharptoon' or J. Jackson .. You 'think' that the media would just .. "Find something else to complain about "?

Your twisted thinking knows no bounds!

Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Spike Lee . . .

Why are none of these effin' morons charged with inciting riots? Lee twitters the wrong address just to accomplish this very thing, which resulted in make the lives of two elderly people so miserable they had to move out. I'd find me the greediest attorney I could find it and take him on in court! Because what he did do was, indeed, to incite violence, and he's placed that couple's lives in danger.

If you don't want to be lectured to, then turn off the media. I don't get lectured to, which is why i don't come on C-D making whiny ass threads.

A direct threat of violence towards a specific person(s)....that is illegal. But hey, I guess the people being threatened are not Holder's People.....so they do not count.

Now, let's all remember the media's reaction to cross hairs on a campaign map, yet they have the gall to ask if death threats go too far?

While that is certainly true. It is the first time the propriety of death threats have been called into question. Quite a sad state of affairs.

Shocking that they even have to ask if death threats are 'going too far'? That should be implied.
