Health Care Bill Spurs Assassination Calls on Twitter Secret Service to Investigate Calls for President Obama's Assassination By RUSSELL GOLDMAN and JASON RYAN March 22, 2010 The Secret Service is investigating two Twitter users who, apparently angered by the passage of the health care reform bill, took to the Internet Sunday to call for the assassination of President Obama. "ASSASSINATION! America, we survived the Assassinations and Lincoln & Kennedy. We'll surely get over a bullet to Barrack Obama's head," wrote one Twitter user, who goes by the handle Solly Forell, and identifies himself as a conservative blogger and "'authentic' African American." Soon after the first post, Forell tweeted another message actively encouraging someone with a "clear shot" to kill the president. "The next American with a Clear Shot should drop Obama like a bad habit. 4get Blacks or his claims to b[e] Black. Turn on Barack Obama," he wrote on the messaging Web site. The Secret Service investigates any perceived threats to the president or calls for his assassination. "We are aware of the comments and are taking the appropriate investigative action. We respect the right of free speech, but in such instances we have a right and an obligation to ask questions and determine intent," the Secret Service told ABC News. 'I'd Shoot Him Myself' Another Twitter user who called himself THHEE_JAY and was identified as Jay Martin, tweeted "You Should be Assassinated!! @Barack Obama." Martin, who is black, followed his tweet, writing "If I lived in DC. I'd shoot him myself. Dead f***ing serious." As of Monday morning Martin had 1,575 subscribers to his feed and Forrell had just 321 -- both modest by Twitter's standards. Forell's name is attached to several makeshift conservative blogs, Anybody But Barack Obama2012 and the Audacity of Hype. According to a Google profile, Forell is also author of the blog Barack Obama Was an American Electorate Mistake, as well an upcoming "golf self-help book" and a work of fiction to be titled "The Organization." Both books, Forell said on his profile, will be published under his given name. Forrel did not respond to email messages from ABCNews.com. Soon after their posts went viral and were picked up by blogs and received messages alerting them that they would likely be the subjects of federal investigations, both men attempted to retract their statements. "Let us all renounce the harsh rhetoric about POTUS," said a tweet on the Forell feed. "Several including myself have used inappropriate language. Let's remain civil!" "For the record," said a tweet on Martin's feed, "I NEVER said I would do harm to the president. I simply expressed my anger." Twitter removed the offending posts from the Solly_Forell feed, but despite a statement from the company to the blog jezebel.com that the account would be dismantled, it continued to operate on Monday. "We have removed this profile due to violation of Twitter's Rules, specifically listed under "Content Boundaries and Use of Twitter": *Unlawful Use: You may not use the service for any unlawful purposes or for promotion of illegal activities," Twitter said in the statement. "It is against the Twitter Terms of Service to use the service to commit illegal acts. Threatening the life of the president (or president-elect) is a federal offense under Title 18, USC, section 871. All accounts in violation of our Terms of Service are permanently suspended and we report to legal authorities accordingly." Twitter did not immediately return messages for comment by ABC News.com. The tweeted threats come on the heels of increasingly-heated rhetoric by some conservatives aimed at Democratic lawmakers working on health care reform, even as the Secret Service says threats against the president are declining. On their way into the House over the weekend, protesters yelled racial and homophobic epithets at entering Congressmen. Earlier this month Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told a House committee that assassination threats against the president had declined sharply since their peak during the 2008 election. "We have a program area that is just dedicated to protective intelligence I believe we are very aggressive with it," Sullivan said. "Every day there is somebody out there that is looking to harm those people that we protect, and you're right it could be a lone gunman it could be an organized group and we have to look at every single one of those possibilities."

Ooooops. Forgot to ping you to your unwelcome shadows' latest poodle boy blunder:):):)

This from the same intellectual sinkhole that claimed Fred Phelps (a@@clown extraordinaire) who ran for offices as a Dimtard is really a republican. The idiot claimed that Hancock, Jefferson et. al. were leftists, too. But he's a libertarian, you know. Of course, his definition of "libertarian" is known only to him.
Obammy sez it Never knew of the little yappers claim to libertarianism. Lotta letters for a "flat topper" like him though.....easy to see what word he mis-spelled eh?
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way.
Yeah, over at LP. I actually believed him - for awhile. Until I saw from the gist of his posts that he carried quite a hardon for Hillary (and all she represents) Hillary might be a lot of things - but Libertarian she ain't.
Obammy sez it Well ok. He was a jerkoff over there as well, so I must have missed that particular lie in his haystack of fakery.

He was... Really? care to elaborate on this statement?
Goldi-Lox: You're one dumb-fucking bitch.
He wanted the US to invade Cuba to overthrow Castro. Always thought Oswald was a spotter not a mechanic.

They were. Here's more bad news for you...so was Jesus... Tories were conservatives. Still are. You need to apply for a tuition refund to whatever that community college was that you attended. You got ripped off. And I'll bet that you believe that the Boston Tea Party was over taxation without representation as opposed to a de facto tax cut that put the Boston blackmarketeers out of business.

Oswald applied for citizenship with the Soviet Union. He actively promoted 'Fair Play for Cuba'. Anyone that suggests he was a 'Rightwing' is clearly insane, and impervious to historical fact. Basically, you can believe the photo's, the video, and that pathetic loner (I'm talking about Oswald here, not my anti groupie) not to mention his Russian wife...or you can believe a internet kook.
my anti groupie can't get through life without me.
Oswald was first ONI...then as a civilian CIA and Operation Mongoose... If he's not, he's tried for treason as soon as he lands. When his wife lived in Dallas, she lived with Ruth Paine whose husband worked for Bell Hellicopter and had CIA ties through AID. Marina was introduced to them by George de Mohrenschildt, who not only was a friend of George HW Bush but was CIA NOC as well... Amazing how the US intelligence community was just so anxious to help a Marxist- Leninist.

Agitprop group that was run out of Guy Bannister's office in New Orleans and miraculously dissolved itself in December in 1963. What a coincidence, eh?

another fucking kook ____ In more recent years it has also suspected of having largely or entirely been a puppet organization of the FBI or some other U.S. governmental agency used to identify Communists and Communist sympathizers. (Some of Oswald's FPCC leaflets were printed with the address "544 Camp Street" on them. This address was in the same building as the office of Guy Banister, an ex-FBI agent who was involved in counterintelligence activities.) Jim Garrison, through his investigation of the John F. Kennedy Assassination, insinuated the involvement of intelligence agencies in its activities in New Orleans. In reality, however, 544 Camp Street was not Guy Banister's address. Both addresses certainly did lead into the same structure of cement and steel, but contrary to what one reads in many books, the 544 Camp Street entrance did not lead to Banister's ground-level office, but only up a stairway to the second floor. As onetime Banister employee Joe Newbrough puts it, "If you entered 544 Camp Street, the only way you could have gotten to Banister's office was to go out a window. Banister never even considered his office to be part of the Newman Building."
(chuckle)
my anti groupie can't get through life without me.
Padlock certainly is a chucklenut...especially when quoting your favorite source Wikipedia. The fact is, Bannister had more than a single office in that building but several because he was used as a transfer point for weaponry and money laundering...and he had an office in which he had a printing press that he used to print handbills... What Padlock won't tell you either is that the building is in the heart of the Federal Government's presence in NOLA. So there, at the height of the Cold War, was a Pro Castro group working within shouting distance of the CIA, ONI, FBI and, of course, Guy Bannister.
