Admittedly, the age of real-time social networking allows pretty much anyone with a computer or a smart phone to be heard worldwide -- no matter how fanatically unhinged he or she might be. But the Secret Service doesn't take too kindly to talk like this, regardless of who's saying it or how much it may have been a product of the emotion of the moment.
Make no mistake, though: If you think this is the only incitement to violence circulating around the internet right now, as the final vote on the health care reform bill approaches and the right knows it's going to lose and lose big, you haven't been paying attention. This is just the most blatant.
Jezebel: Conservative Blogger Calls for Obama's Assassination on Twitter/3.21.10 
(Update: Yup, the Secret Service confirms: "We are aware of the actual posting and are actively investigating." I think there's somebody at the door there, Solly. Might want to get that.)

Would it be wrong if one of those bulllets hit the white half of Obama?
And whoopee - they passed the damn bill.
That is beyond revolting. I can't wait till the Secret Service busts his door in. Clearly he wasn't educated by this fantastic WKYK video (made during Bush's presidency):

And they wonder why no one wants to sleep with them.
Methinks that the Rupert and Roger and the chairman of Clear Channel and any other broadcast outlet that uses the public airwaves ought to be brought in for a little sitdown. And if they don't dial down the seditious and inflammatory rhetoric well a first start is immediate loss of license.
Solly's not the only one.
Yeah, enjoy that interview you'll soon be having with the Secret Service, asshole. Wish I could be there to watch you wet yourself.
