Obama threatened, called 'monkey' by ex-Carson council candidate
A failed Carson City Council candidate drew the attention of federal law enforcement when he called for the assassination of President Obama, whom he described on Facebook with a racial ephithet.
Jules Manson, who ran for office on a Libertarian platform in the Carson race in March, called Obama a "monkey" in an online screed on the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. The act has raised the ire of activists because it permits indefinite detention without trial for some terrorism suspects.
In a comment on the Facebook post, Manson added: "Assassinate the [president] and his monkey children." He used an obscenity followed by a racial epithet to describe the president. The post had been removed from Manson's Facebook page Tuesday, but the blog Your Black Politics captured and posted a screenshot of it, including the coarse language.
Manson described the comments on his Facebook page as "careless, emotionally driven remarks that had no real substance" and wrote, "Not including my regular friends whom I converse with often or have in the past and always welcome their comments and posts, I do not believe many of you are concerned citizens. Most of you were simply looking for drama to demonstrate your politically correct righteousness."

(13,461 posts)The racial sickness this person demonstrates aside, you cannot call for the assassination of the President and his family then just say that the whole problem is people wanting drama over his being politically incorrect. That's maximum minimization.
Secret Service anyone?

(21,925 posts)I haven't seen it covered on cable, not even on Thom Hartmann's show. If Bush were still President, I'm confident that Fox would be giving hourly updates on it (and I'm not suggesting it would be right to make these threats even in Bush's case).
