Wow. How many days till I see that here I wonder? I'll try to get a picture without getting shot.
That is downright deplorable. I promise to choke a bitch if I see someone wearing that crap.
I'm just waiting for these morons to cross the line into treasonous territory.
My opinion is that anyone wearing, promoting or otherwise advocating this stuff already has.
Oh they certainly have the mentality, but unfortunately, that is not enough to convict them in a court of law.
I'm sure these are folks whose heritage includes ancestors who used Bible verses to condone slavery...........
Hey, I use the Bible to condone slavery!
But only when people ask me to support banning gay marriage
Is that from CFR?
I openly demanded that Dubya be impeached and/or arrested for war crimes. Both would be legal recourses to dealing with the worst President in the last 80 years.
Also, my fellow card-carrying liberals are anti-war, non-violent, pot-smoking hippies and/or homos.
The right wing are militant, 2nd Amendmenters who encourage each other to commit acts of murder, like against Dr George Tiller.
See the difference?
Easy, easy. Read my post. Find the "legal" threat in a bumper sticker that says Pray for Obama and quotes a Bible passage? Sure, I understand the intention and am not agreeing with it. But there is no more of a threat in that bumper sticker than your diatribes against Bush.
It's always a joy to witness the view of the world through the eyes of a hard core left winger, helps to balance out the drivel from the extreme right. Reminds me of a what a debate between Cheech and Chong and Sarah and Beck would be like.
Also, don't these people have the right to practice free speech? Putting a bumper sticker on your car or wearing a Tshirt pretty much falls into the right, measured against the cases brought forth by the ACLU in the past.
Hypocrite much??
The psalm reads, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” Presidential criticism through witty slogans is nothing new. Bumper stickers, t-shirts, and hats with “1/20/09” commemorated President Bush’s last day in office.
Yeah don't gloss over the second part of that Psalm that reads "Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow"
There is a little bit of a difference between celebrating the last day at work of someone you don't like and wishing someone was dead.

I consider myself fairly conservative and I've read through the Bible well into the double digits. There's no mistaking, IMHO, the intent of using that verse. They want Obama dead not simply out of "office."
No doubt, but as to Straya's comment referring to the following verse, I suggest reading the entire Psalm to get the full understanding. All of it refers to someone wishing divine retribution to that person's accusers of being heretical in following God.

Um, the fact that they take it out of context doesn't change the intent of the message.
US code. Title 18 USC is criminal laws. The CFR is administrative, like how the fed gov runs its finances and procurement and stuff.
Great interview with Frank Schaeffer - very enlightening. I grew up in this type of environment as well.
That bumper sticker is as nuts as any Islamic fundamentalist beheading/stoning, etc that you see in the news every week. Scary stuff.

Gotcha. I deal with CFR for certain packaging related things.
Agreed, the sad part is those who think this is acceptable don't even realize how similar they are to those Islamic fundamentalists they truly are.
better yet, post it to 4chan
Free speech has never allowed or legalized the opportunity to commit or inflame a person to commit treason. Calling for the murder of a U.S President is treason! .... besides isn't the whole jesus fairly tell based around the idea he died for our sins(murder,etc), and loving our enemy(forgiveness and tolerance)??
Saying you wish someone was dead and saying you are going to kill them are 2 different things.
Read the bumper sticker. Nowhere is there a legal threat. Its close, and its in poor taste, but it is not legally treason.
Now thats a fantastic idea. I can't access 4chan from work, but I know now what I'm doing when I get home.better yet, post it to 4chan
Heh, Do you need an account to post to 4chan?Now thats a fantastic idea. I can't access 4chan from work, but I know now what I'm doing when I get home.
I can't imagine what kind of job would allow you to access 4chan from workNow thats a fantastic idea. I can't access 4chan from work, but I know now what I'm doing when I get home.
Read the Constitution. The First amendment doesn't "legalize" anything. It simply gives the people the right to practice free speech. The bumper sticker itself only quotes a bible passage and says pray for Obama.
Really? Are you sure about that?
Also, where exactly did anyone call for the murder of the President? It's not a crime to wish someone would go away or bad things would happen to them.
Not even sure why you chose to throw this in unless you're trying really hard to earn some "cred" with your misspelled "fairly tell" meaning, I assume "fairy tale"..... besides isn't the whole jesus fairly tell based around the idea he died for our sins(murder,etc), and loving our enemy(forgiveness and tolerance)??
Understand this...the intentions and meaning behind all this stuff is pretty clear and I personally think it's ridiculous. You don't like the President? Fine, take a lesson from President Obama and form a grass roots campaign, earn the will of the electorate and defeat the sitting Congress/President. That's how it;s supposed to work. However, the rights afforded by the Constitution apply to scholar and idiot alike, as long as they are citizens of this country. (Unless you ask Renegade Rick)
All this tells me is that God is a lazy asshole who won't do his own dirty work. Your all powerful God needs Cletus the hick to take a shot at the President? Your religion sucks, my friend.
Make no mistake, this is an incitement to the retards who it's directed towards. Schaeffer is correct.
