Point is it has happened quite a bit in the past and I cannot seem to recall people such as yourself being so incensed by it as to start a thread....
And in the case of the OP,I see no threat of death.
Do you?
Uh, in 2003 I don't believe this forum was around. However, I felt the same way about the virulant anti-Bush crowd (usually punks and anarchists) who were prone to obnoxious signs like the ones posted above, and had no problems calling them out for causing more harm to their cause than good. In fact they angered me more because I thought they cheapened some very serious issues I had with that administration. What surprises me is why more conservatives don't to much to try and redirect the debate away from the wingnuts who like to imply violence and toward actual arguments they have with Obama's policies.
Most of the protest posters appear to be from after 2003.
Point is no-one seemed overly concerned.
Now do you think the Facebook poll is in the same vein as those posters?
Do you think it was a direct threat against the POTUS?
Your assertion is things are getting out of hand and as has been shown,that is simply not the case,things were just as bad if not worse before Obama was elected.
Why can't it be that no matter a party affiliation or skin color (or whatever your gripe is) that wrong is just wrong. And to threaten or even bring the topic up is just plain wrong and not of good character. But it is obvious that character is not very important any more. Sad.....

The title of this thread is things are getting out of hand...
Obviously things have been out of hand for a while judging by the images I posted.
Wouldn't you agree?
And again the Facebook poll doesn't seem to rise to the same level of violence as those posters.
Saying we have a bad president is certainly fine and we've been saying that since the interent message board and chatroom was first offered. Thank God for the internet. Its assumed the role the free press once had, that of keeping the people informed and preventing politicians, governments, companies, organizations, what have you from taking complete abuse of power.
Death threats and wishing harm on anybody is wrong, though. But thats less than 100th of 1 percent of the posts you read and probably 99% of those are just people spouting off nonsense harmlessly. Out of 100,000 people you will have a few crazies but they are far more likely to harm those around them and not somebody of importance.
If I were President, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over some kook potentially harming me. But I might lose some sleep over others in power and those around me and people behind the scenes running the world if I thought they might not be happy with the way I'm doing my job.
