Jewish American newspaper publisher suggests Israel assassinate Barack Obama

[The_Dude 1,142]

It is pretty bold to print. But... it's probably been discussed.

I'm sure it is being discussed by our domestic terrorist militia groups as well. So do you think that gives it any more merit?

Absolutely. We feel it's just fine to invade sovereign nations and assassinate people. Why can't others do it?

So you are advocating the murder/assassination of our president? Are you really suggesting that treason is a good idea?

How is that treason? Insurrection, perhaps. Conspiracy to commit murder, most certifiably.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

I think the secret service would disagree with you Bill.

They would be wrong.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

OK Captain Pedant. But it is none the less a major crime.

Worse. Just talking about it is reason enough for the Feds to make the rest of your life miserable.

Where are you getting that?

What I'm saying is it's hypocritical of people to think someone is wrong for wanting to assassinate our citizens when we have no problem invading sovereign nations and assassinating theirs.

I think the secret service would disagree with you Bill.

I think they would too. If you type something like that you may get a visit. At the very least you'll be "on the list" with me and all the other freedom-loving Americans the NSA, CIA, FBI, BATFE, etc., are actively monitoring.

Never forget they're passively monitoring everyone and if you type certain keywords or go to certain sites, you'll be flagged for "active" monitoring.

We don't assassinate world leaders, that would be in breach of the Geneva Convention. Regime change, where we put said leader on trial is more our style. Nevermind that it is basically a kangaroo court.

LOL, you're right about that. I was going to do a google search for the exact verbiage, but had second thoughts before I pressed enter. I remember when I was in college, there was a rapper named Paris who was investigated and hassled for years and years after he made a skit about assassinating President Bush.

Usually, I'll dismiss your paranoia, but regarding internet spying, I agree.

And nevermind the fact that we kill over 100,000 civilians in the process.

Eric B is president.

(Wrong Eric, I know. Wrong Paris too - I'm thinking Parrish of EPMD fame... but I digress. That was a pretty inflamatory time for rap/hip hop because it was the first time white folks really had to deal with it. Paris wasn't really big time but "yet another issue" being put on the nightly news at the time of the LA riots was just what America - and hip hop! - needed.)

The internet is mostly public.

I honestly have no problem if they're going to passively filter my facebook profile. If I'm stupid enough to post stuff like that where others can see it, I get what I deserve. (Can't say I like tax dollars going to it but that's up to the taxpayers.) However, personal messages, private sites, etc., I believe need a warrant to be spied on. If you have a password protecting your email address and they hack into it, what's the difference between doing that and picking the lock on my front door?

I know. We're all lovey-dovey today. There must be a flaw in the matrix.
