Right, I say burst that bubble of protection and perhaps people will revert back to being accountable for their words and actions.
How many morons do you think it will take to spew the kind of $#@! Trinnity included in her OP before one of these dipshits decides to act?
When I was a kid there were no laws regarding crack cocaine because the $#@! didn't exist. Time for our legislators to do their damn job and enact some laws to make these little "tykes" consider their words and actions.
And THIS coming from a guy who believes we're regulated and litigated nearly to death already but there ARE some cases in which it's necessary. This is one of those instances.
The fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals is simple.
Conservatives, like our founders, understand that man has a propensity to do evil. They accept this fact of human nature and have given us the tools to protect ourselves from those who might victimize us.
Liberals believe that under the right mandates, restrictions and incentives all that potential evil can be bred out of humanity.
well the way the gov't works wouldn't be anonymous and these people by tweeting...sometimes thousands of tweets are not anonymous either. Those are serious threats and more innocent words have been aggressively investigated. The only reason i can think they are ignored is that the DoJ is not interested in slapping the wrist of any blacks or prObama people.

Of course it's not just immature youth that threaten to take drastic measures if they don't like the results in November
"If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Do you have a link for that statement? And i think i've seen that before. The context is quite different than what these people are tweeting about assassinating a newly elected president. This person is insinuating that if Obama is elected again, their power will be so cemented that they can round up their political enemies as the Chavez Regime does.

I did say "make an example" and perhaps I should have done a better job of selecting my words.
If you can't shout "FIRE" in a theater due to the threat doing so poses to the safety of those in the theater, in this day and age Tweeting your support for assassination should be equally prohibited.
