(82,383 posts)Some may have wished Cheney's heart would take him out, but that's not an assassination plot, since Cheney does have a bad heart. I don't recall seeing any specific wish, but more of an "I'll dance on his grave" type of post, which some on DU disapprove too.
What of the girl who put on her FB page that someone ought to assassinate Obama? She's not saying she's going to do it, but is saying she approves someone else doing it. You really think the Secret Service should ignore that and this? If you approve of a crime, aren't you more likely to support it in some way?
And if they check it out and there's nothing, fine. I can't feel sorry for people who would put up a public sign with such a vile sentiment - and never in the news did we see people doing that to Bush or quoting that verse in reference to Bush.
