Fla. House candidate from Pinellas calls for hanging of President Obama

A Pinellas County candidate for the Florida House of Representatives has called for the hanging of President Barack Obama.

Seriously.

"I'm past impeachment," Joshua Black wrote on Twitter, according to a Tampa Bay Times political blog. "it's time to arrest and hang him."

LG, friend of yours?

Why is it always Florida.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Obama has managed to take us back 100 years with regards to executing prisoners. First it was the story about firing squads and now this...

 

[volmaverick]

Guy is clearly racist..oh wait

 

[Burger]

This house candidate is right. The way BO has pillaged this country is treason.

A black dude named Black calling out Obozo aint good. Black needs to dig a hole and hide from Obozo's caretakers. He will be missed.

I would say that he's only parroting what a narrow range of right wing extremists are saying, but I guess that depends on your definition of "narrow range."

In your opinion, I guess. But what about a past president that borders on a war criminal? :hi:

The only ones that would miss him are those depending on him for a check or whatever he wants to give away today.

Killing American citizens on foreign soil is treason...punishable by execution.

Because we rock !

We're not talking about Clinton .

I'm interested to see how the right, itself, responds to this. The interesting thing as I read comments here and in the paper is that, while the Republican governor responds by calling for him to drop out of the race, there is quite a bit of screeching commentary joining in on the guy's comments.

Disturbing.

I wonder if the people who have really promoted this poisonous atmosphere and made so much bank on it appreciate the consequences of their actions.

That would have to be about each and every one of them

Most politicians need to swing from a noose. Bribe takers and war criminals alike. I don't care about party affiliation.

I'm going to hope you are including both sides into this statement. Because you and I both know it goes beyond the (R), (D) and (I)

People have had enough with the incompetence of our leaders. It's over 90% of our country now is sick of our government fumbling everything. Both sides suck! You're on the losing side of the bet this time. Accept that this country is falling apart so we can fix it.

Yes,of course. It runs both ways.

My perception is that with Obama the vitriol and hyperbole against him has been especially intense for an American POTUS. We can debate why that is so. But I can't recall so many episodes of public officials, or those running for office or involved in the political process, ever being so extremely rude.

From "You lie!" on the floor of the House during the SOTU, to this, civility has taken a pretty big hit from the GOP over the last few years.

I can't recall a potus with such a socialist agenda...you know, wealth redistribution .

He's messed up everything from Solyndra to obamacare. He's invaded our rights more than anyone else with NDAA. You're still talking about manners. Obama is a disgrace just like his peers. You can't promise the world, not deliver at all, and expect to not get hammered. Look at how bad we treated Dooley at the end of his tenure.

They literally had to invent terminology to handle the glazed-eyed/frothy-mouthed hatred many had for W. Bush Derangement Syndrome.

At least George W made up funny words. Obama can't even do that.

Can you cite any specific incident where the DNC actually took the lead on the "vitriol" and hatred? Or are you just going to speak to the Republicans?

Since Obama's pretty much reading off a teleprompter anyway...
