Thank you Secret Service and indeed, tough for me to say, thank you Larry Johnson.
A little over a year ago I contacted PUMA blogger Larry Johnson about some of his contributors getting a bit too excitable. They were making clear and obvious death threats against the President of the United States,. Larry Johnson promise to report the idiots. To be honest I did not really believe him.

Credit where credit is due. He did. So I get to eat some small amount of crow.

Here, almost one year later is that idiot bigot on another right wing hate site complaining about being treated like the criminal it is.

It is not paranoia. You may be watched if you are anti-Obama. This is the MOST thin skinned, paranoid administration EVER. a blog owner turned me, as well as a few other people into the secret service for using the bad A word that you should not associate in the same sentence as POTUS. There were no direct threats, but the blog owner feared being responsible. Anyway, it took the secret service one year to come interview me and they had missed me at home by 15 minutes so they came to my work! my boss freaked out! I was interviewed by the secret service and my employer’s security for about 45 minutes. I survived the experience and now can laugh about it, but beware. ANYONE can turn you in and say you may be a threat and the SS will come. They told me that they eventually visit everyone who is on the list. It sounded to me like they have not done that before, but they are so paranoid about the one that they look at everyone that gets on their list no matter how. So, please do be careful with your words.

The other thing I want to mention is that just shortly after I was turned in to the SS, I was watching an hour long documentary that had obama in his own words in it. I cannot remember what it was, but all of a sudden, right as Obama was talking about redistributing the wealth, my computer shut down. It was not out of battery and it started up right away again and was fine, but I could no longer access the website with the video. It was weird and it freaked me out! There is no explanation for it to this day.

As far as the SS coming to my work, I was lucky. I did not get fired because the blogging was not on work time, but I do have a written warning in my file that I violated the code of conduct for the company and how an employee is supposed to behave. They don’t even know what I was blogging or wrote or anything, but it was enough that the SS came to talk with me.


I guess the bigot wasn't quite so proud about telling her bosses that she was online making death threats against the President of the United States of America.

To the men in dark suits - good work. And something I probably will not write so often, Larry Johnson for this I salute you.

4. Now probably a DU in joke about a deleted sub topic becoming a main topic
all by itself and getting one of the highest numbers of recs in ages.

Back on topic - here is my original article.

5. In the beginning...
There was a "Deleted Subthread" posted as an OP in GD. Some people were able to reply to the OP, others weren't. But it got crazy when people figured out they could post in the thread and the posts would be completely hidden. They were posted in another universe parallel to this one. Chaos and hilarity ensued. The thread was eventually disappeared like a UN weapons inspector on holiday in the mountains. All very strange. :tinfoilhat:

12. It took a year to interview the bigot
I have just read the follow up. The Secret Service did their homework and I am amazed she was not sacked.

I considered suing for them coming to my place of employment. They were not charging me with any crime, only wanted an interview. A friend of mine who is an attorney said that they had no right to do that. They could have waited until I got home. The SS said that they just go through the list and find you so that IF you were a threat, you would not run off. It was very surreal. I decided that they had nothing on me, I had done no wrong and to fight them would only get myself fired and drug through the local media or worse the national media for all I knew. I let it go and am glad I did. I am certain had I refused to talk to them without an attorney, they would have drug me downtown and I’d get fired for walking off my job. It was clear to me that they also knew they really had nothing on me, but wanted to intimidate me. They had a file with satellite images of my home! They also had other such as where I banked, when I was married, divorced, and who all my family members were, etc. They told me that it was just a warning and that they would not call my boss or friends, but they did talk to my boss and that is why I have a letter in my file. They did not tell her why I was being investigated, but they did Identify themselves as Secret Service so my boss assumed I had threatened That One. I told her she would laugh if she knew the truth of it. The funny thing is that my boss is extremely paranoid now. I heard her telling someone and she said that she will never put in writing any political views because she is starting to believe the conspiracy theories!


Stupid bigot. It is not a conspiracy theory. You do not make death threats against ANY President whether you like them or not.
