The Christian American Patriots Militia is openly calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama on their Facebook page. The Christian militia calls Obama a dictator, and claims the authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution.
According to a report issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) dated Nov. 22, the U.S. Secret Service is aware that Everest Wilhelmsen, leader of the Christian American Patriots Militia, is calling for Obamas assassination.
The Christian American Patriots Militia sent out a post to the more than 1400 members of their Facebook group declaring the militia now has the authority to assassinate President Barack Obama:
We now have authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him, Wilhelmsen wrote on the groups Facebook page.
The following is an excerpt from the disturbing post, dated Nov. 19:
The authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution: He is levying war on the United States and aiding and comforting our foreign enemies the 2nd Amendment gives us the right and duty (authority) to engage an enemy of the United States that does so with the design to reduce us under absolute Despotism. I would be very surprised, if Obama does not leave Washington DC today (Nov. 19th)
never to return, if he is not dead within the month.

(30,058 posts)If they called themselves Satanic or Devils it would be within their beliefs. It is going to take some arrests to get this under control. I heard rumors if Obama was re-elected there probably be wars. I think it is just a lot of RW BS. The GOP does not have anything to brag on so they will continue to raise hell and whine.

(1 post)Facebook administrators just informed me that they took down his threat to assassinate the President. Check his Facebook page and you will see that post is gone now. You're welcome.
