Haha wow… I shouldn’t be so happy about people being so sad and destroyed… but wow. I can’t help but laugh at crap like that.

I would imagine “Kaleb Newton” will be finding out what it is like to be hauled before a Federal judge. Her tweet is #15 and offers a cash incentive if someone will do harm to the President. I suspect that will get you a bit more than a visit from the Secret Service. Nice way to eff up your life nitwit.

Right–I wondered the same thing, why it wasn’t 1776 - 2008 (or 2009).

My friend on FB said she hopes that “America will burn for its decision”. Not that she expects it **will** , she specifically said she **hopes** it does due to Obama’s reelection.

Several of my daughter’s high-school classmates have made facebook posts saying “Well, I’m moving to London now.” or “I’m definitely moving to the UK!” Good luck with that…

That would be my _ **ex** _-friend with some scathing words thrown in.  
Seriously, you want your entire nation to burn and people to suffer because other people decided something you don’t like? What The Fuck is wrong with you? Nevermind, I don’t care to know anymore. Just keep that damage away from me.

Well, technically speaking, aren’t all serious politicians somewhere on the narcissism spectrum?

So, people who don’t like Pres. Obama want to move to Canada, Australia, the UK, etc., eh? Since we are not stupid people here, we understand that all these countries are much more socialist than the USA, but where _should_ the dissenters move to? Maybe a South American country with a totalitarian regime?

I was thinking about that. Pretty much the entire Anglophone world is more liberal and/or socialist than the US. Maybe they should move to the Cayman Islands.

I would love to see these people move to a new country…then see their horror when they realize just what these country’s tax rates are.

After he got bagged, tagged, and shipped off to a FEMA re-education camp by Obama goon squads, banning him is just piling on.

I notice many of the sick tweets come with photos. Are these photos of the tweeter? Or of someone the trolling tweeter doesn’t like?

Well, that depends on how one defines “socialist”. Obviously, these people are using ([as the Master put it](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/3075/why-doesn-t-the-president-freeze-gas-prices)) “the current right-wing nutcake idea of socialism, meaning anything Obama does”. Since Obama isn’t doing much of anything in those countries, they remain untainted by the scourge of socialism.

I’m pretty sure they’re user avatars, which may or may not be the tweeter’s photo. If they are, it adds a whole new level of stupidity to the “assassinate the President” tweets.
