Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley denied the claims, saying it’s “incorrect.” Wiley denied that any bithers were targeted or “harrassed” because of their views, and said that only people who make threats or advocate violence get Secret Service visits.
“If someone has threatened the president, we are duty-bound to investigate that person,” Wiley told our reporter, Beth Marlowe.
Wiley also denied another lurid charge made by birther Carl Swensson, who claimed that two Secret Service agents showed up at his office “shortly” after he filed a treason complaint against the President in Georgia.
The service, Wiley said, draws “a distinction between someone making a threat and anything to do with the birther movement.”
Of course threats of violence aren't protected. Why would it be? We are a nation of laws, not violence.
We have pages and pages in another thread where tea-birthers claim advocating violence and talk of overthrowing the government is protected under "Free speech."
The only legitimate news sources reporting on that relates to a case where someone had an anti-Bush bumper sticker... and the people harassed by secret service for anti-Bush t-shirts at a Bush rally.
