Conservative Blogger Urges Obama Assassination on Twitter - DailyFinance
As Congress entered the final round of debate Sunday over the controversial health insurance reform bill, a self-described conservative blogger used his public Twitter account to urge the assassination of President Barack Obama. U.S. Secret Service spokesperson Max Milien confirms to DailyFinance: "We are aware of the actual posting and are actively investigating." A request for comment from a Twitter spokesperson hasn't been returned.

As the blog Jezebel has reported, Soloman (Solly) Forell, apparently enraged by the impending passage of the health insurance reform bill, used his Twitter account to call for the assassination of Barack Obama, while also tweeting that since the country survived the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, "we'll surely get over" this one, too.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I did write, during the campaign, if Obama got elected he would be "a dead man walking."  I didn't write that as a bit of hyperbole or as a metaphor.  I meant it as an accurate assessment of the US socio-political and cultural environment.

Racism is deeply embedded in the US and among certain segments of the US population it's a given.

Yes, you did write it as a bit of hyperbole. Here's how you exaggerate the importance of Mr Obama's race in the minds of the great number of psychopaths running around the US: You can't apparently imagine how the other 35 million black people are targets, too, for retribution and a lot easier any day to kill, metaphorically and literally, than Mr Obama ever was or will be.

You guys try working that fact into your tea bagger fantasies.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

The American example, for hundreds of years, is that we kill those who don't agree to our plans. Iran is only the latest example.

Tea Partiers often quote Jefferson that the tree of liberty grows on the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Align culture with our nature.
