Christian militia calls for Obama’s assassination on Facebook

[RandySF]

The Christian American Patriots Militia is openly calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama on their Facebook page. The Christian militia calls Obama a “dictator,” and claims the “authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution.”

According to a report issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) dated Nov. 22, the U.S. Secret Service is aware that Everest Wilhelmsen, leader of the Christian American Patriots Militia, is calling for Obama’s assassination.

The Christian American Patriots Militia sent out a post to the more than 1400 members of their Facebook group declaring the militia now has the “authority” to assassinate President Barack Obama:

“We now have authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him,” Wilhelmsen wrote on the group’s Facebook page.
The following is an excerpt from the disturbing post, dated Nov. 19:

“The authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution: He is levying war on the United States and aiding and comforting our foreign enemies – the 2nd Amendment gives us the right and duty (authority) to engage an enemy of the United States that does so with the design to reduce us under absolute Despotism. I would be very surprised, if Obama does not leave Washington DC today (Nov. 19th) … never to return, if he is not dead within the month.”

1. Death threats are not protected by the First Amendment

Hello, FBI? Justice Department?

2. I can almost hear Agent Mike knocking on their door now

3. Why would a group call themselves "Christian" anything and then advocate to kill anyone.

If they called themselves Satanic or Devils it would be within their beliefs. It is going to take some arrests to get this under control. I heard rumors if Obama was re-elected there probably be wars. I think it is just a lot of RW BS. The GOP does not have anything to brag on so they will continue to raise hell and whine.

11. Often the biggest problem with Christianity is Christians. ...

I don't recall reading in the Bible that Jesus ever advocated the assassination of the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus who was definitely a true dictator.

12. Mighty Christian of them.

Maybe they forgot lines like "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword" or "love thy neighbor."

13. I reported Wilhelmsens threats to FB

Facebook administrators just informed me that they took down his threat to assassinate the President. Check his Facebook page and you will see that post is gone now. You're welcome.
