Possible Secret Service Investigation Of Conservative Death Threat

Cue the Frankenstein monster

The Secret Service may investigate a fax sent to a Democratic lawmaker that depicts President Barack Obama as the Joker and warns of ‘death to all Marxists.’

The black-and-white fax portrays Obama in makeup similar to that worn by actor Heath Ledger in his portrayal of the Joker in last summer’s ‘The Dark Knight.’

    Good. This is exactly what the Secret Service is for, along with the FBI. Domestic terrorist, including death-threats, can’t be tolerated.

    Go the town-hall meetings and protest peacefully. But death-threats are way over the line, wing-nuts. Be prepared to do some hard time if you make them.

    Jaim, do you honestly believe no Republicans ever got death threats the last eight years from liberals?

    If Republican politicians got death threats, I hope the SS or FBI investigated them.

    Do you honestly believe there’s no connection between the idiotic hate that pours out of GOP leaders Limbaugh and Beck and the recent violence engaged in by the tea-baggers?

    Really, now. Can you point to a statement or anything you’ve ever said about a Republican ever getting a death threat that you spoke out against?

    No, I don’t. Do you believe there’s any connection between some of the statements pouring out of Obama and Pelosi and Gibbs and Axelrod and the recent violence engaged in by the SEIU thugs?

    Like the one I just made, idiot?

    I’m just going to take that as a no response, that you never have before.

    @Dennis How about you prove that there were any like this (they have to be publishied somewhere first for me/other to be able to speak out against) and if there were, that they actually came from “liberals” and not just from some different kind of wingnuts? libertarians don’t count as liberal btw.

    No big surprise here. These conservative scum always resort to violence when they can’t get their way. Think Timmy McVeigh…

    We’re witnessing our own home-grown brand of domestic terrorism, in no small part thanks to Beck and Limbaugh.

    Prosecute and lock the fuckers up.
