More about the Yule Goat
As for the filth besmirched racist, lying, bitch monster, Hillary, not content with her shameful and outrageous remarks in South Dakota, and the vague wandering of her so-called "apology," she continues to lie and dissemble aided and abetted by her whoremonger and serial adulterer husband, as well as her weasely and shamnless "advisors," Howard Wolfson and Terry McAuliffe. These two putrid sacks of excrement are not even good liars.
But worst of all NOT A WORD HAS BEEN HEARD FROM THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP---- Dean, Reid and Pelosi (Thats the same as "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi whom, I am seriously beginning to hope will be voted out of office.) The stink is getting pretty bad from this group of losers too!
HILLARY MUST GO! Will someone please get the hook!
FBI? Hardly. It's just a partisan tool of the bu$hnazis. Secret Service? Has it been politcally corrupted by rove/cheney? Probably. Remember who protected GFY when he shot his hunting buddy in the face.
Heck, we got the best democracy money can buy.

Buck fush.
Fuck Trotta, fuck Clinton, and fuck those defending either of their assassination remarks.
And why doesn't Mr. 43 make a comment on the increasingly vile statements that are all over the public airwaves?
We're noticing the impotence of the Justice Department in that they aren't "visiting" alleged inciters. Where IS everybody? Where are the law enforcement people? Why is Bush's Administration mum on assassination talk? It's real, it's dangerous, it's happening now, and, remember, "if you're not with us, then you're against us." Is Bush condoning this trend by his remaining silent?
Saying you wish someone were dead or killed is not illegal, except perhaps about the president, and even then one would likely need to make a more direct threat or call to action, rather than express what would be her after-the-fact reaction.
Let's not get carried away here.
Again, what she said was horrible. Just not illegal.
Of course I refer to this cackling cracker Liz Trotta.
We are to the point where the Supreme Court has SELECTED George W. Bush as our President.
I also forgot where Lieberman played into the hands of Bush/Cheney several times during the process. Lieberman is such a scumbag.
We are watching the Republicans cheer and kiss each other over the Supreme Court handing the country over to a bunch of Neo-Con thieves who will then divert our nation into a disastrous war where the little punk will lie and claim he sacrificed his golf game for the war in which he kills thousands of our young brave troops based on a bunch of lies.
Then it will be that the Obama people are offended about Osama Bin Ladin being killed, next step we are all Un-American and we want the terrorists to win.
Let's not encourage the Feds to exercise more power for speech. If they do, for every Liz Trotta they arrest, 100 of us will be charged, at least for the next few months.
Under The United States Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter XIV, Section 879:
(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon—

(3) a major candidate for the office of President or Vice President, or a member of the immediate family of such candidate; or
(4) a person protected by the Secret Service under section 3056 (a)(6);
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
(b) As used in this section—
(1) the term “immediate family” means—
(A) with respect to subsection (a)(1) of this section, the wife of a former President during his lifetime, the widow of a former President until her death or remarriage, and minor children of a former President until they reach sixteen years of age; and
(B) with respect to subsection (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this section, a person to whom the President, President-elect, Vice President, Vice President-elect, or major candidate for the office of President or Vice President—

(ii) stands in loco parentis;
(2) the term “major candidate for the office of President or Vice President” means a candidate referred to in subsection (a)(7) of section 3056 of this title; and
(3) the terms “President-elect” and “Vice President-elect” have the meanings given those terms in section 871 (b) of this title.
I suspect it doesn't fly, but it's the closest I've seen.
The statute doesn't mention anything about wanting something to happen, but rather somehow indicating one is indicating he or she is going to do it, or actively solicits someone else to do it. Not being happy if it happens.
Again, she is awful, and should be fired. But let's be careful about the First Amendment.
With the talk getting a bit much as a result of Hillary's remarks, and now Fox talking crazy like this, she can probably expect for them to pay a visit.
Oh, and now Hillary has a new excuse for the whole uproar: It's all Obama's fault.

I don't doubt there are some top-level political appointees who are doing things that exceed their proper enforcement, but from my understanding Obama likes his detail - he invited them into his home to watch the Super Bowl last February, for one thing.

IMO, Obama needs to get a trustworthy PRIVATE security detail.
btw, How the hell has Doug Coe's Family escaped unimpugned?
She needs to be slapped by Michelle Obama.

And I'll bet Trotta has had to change her shit-stained panties more than once today. Maybe she can do her laundry at Rove's house. I'm sure his Maytag is running 24 hours a day.
I mean, we're talking about a guy who has only been a senator (1 of 100) for 3 years. What could he have done in his political career that would be so horrible in the eyes of Republicans that would make them wish for his demise? I suppose they either just hate everyone who thinks differently or they hate black people -- or both.
WATCH, THEN SIGN THE PETITION
We may not be able to stop the Clintons with our messages of disgust at their behaviour, but we CAN make a statement to FOXNews about their commentator's remarks that casually suggest it would be good to "knock off" Obama, and we MUST!
Obama needs but 49 more delegates. On Friday it was 56. I think they are moving according to plan so that when the last primary votes are counted and added in to recent SD gains, Obama will be the nominee.
And I believe the Rules Committee of the DNC isn't going to be much of a help.
Hillary's not the only person clueless.
I hope O's wearing kevlar underwear.

SHE SHOULD BE FIRED AND PUT IN AN ORANGE JUMP SUIT! If you or I said that we would be in jail. Where do these sick, disgraceful people come from????????? Funny they all seem to be from the Republican party. Time for that party to lay down next to the Whigs! What a disgusting group of offensive, filthy people. IF ANYTHING, I MEAN ANYTHING HAPPENS TO OBAMA, WE WILL ALL KNOW WHO DID IT! THEY WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT LIKE THEY DID WITH JFK, RFK JR., MAYBE EVEN JOHN, JOHN, MARTIN LUTHER KING AND ETC. YOU HAVE TO KNOW, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T DO IT PERSONALLY, THEIR HANDS WERE IN IT! IT'S OVER FOR THEIR SICK, SICK, SICK WAY OF LIFE AND THE MURDER OF OUR GREAT LEADERS.

Saying on tv that you would be happy that there were a fire in a crowded theatre that killed a lot of people is not illegal.
That's the difference.
You'd have to prove her saying she'd be happy with his killing was likely to be an immediate cause of it happening for it to be illegal.
Many, many vile and terrible thoughts are protected by the first amendment. This is one of them.
Edited to add: actually, I missed where she said "both, if we could" -- OK, I take back my original comment. She needs a knock on the door from the FBI.
Not so fast. Do you know how many times bloggers on Ablog have talked about killing Bush or Cheney? More than a few.
