Bible Loving Public Safety Officer Wants ‘Traitor’ Obama ‘Shot’
On Rush Limbaugh’s Facebook page, a New York state fire chief wrote that our “traitor” president should be “shot” because of his executive action on immigration.
[su_center_ad]Mother Jones reports:
Last week, Limbaugh posted a photo of the president on his Facebook page with this caption:
Imagine what would happen if just for a week, Obama worked as hard for Americans as he does for illegal aliens. Just imagine if he cared as much about the unemployed, taxpaying citizen of this nation who cannot get health care as he cares about those who are not citizens.
Under that post, Donald Baldwin wrote that the President of the United States should be shot. Who would ‘like’ such a post? At least 5 people when this screen grab was taken:
Many of Baldwin’s “likes” on Facebook indicate his ideological fancies: the Republican National Committee, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Tx.), right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin, the Heritage Foundation, and a Facebook page for the Hobby Lobby case. Baldwin used to work for energy giant GE.
Mother Jones asked whether he really believes Obama “deserves to be shot,” and he said, “Anyone who goes against or wants to override the Constitution of our country is in my eyes a traitor.”
Baldwin’s favorite books include the Bible and I Love God. His favorite movies include Heaven is for Real and God’s Not Dead. He describes himself on Facebook as a “mature adult.”
Hey Secret Service, we got another one for ya’.

What was perfectly acceptable under a white president is suddenly unacceptable under a black presidents administration.
That’s pretty much been the entire policy of the right.
Hass November 26th, 2014 at 11:12 am
How can some one in that position express such a view in public is beyond belief. What is wrong with you Americans? This arse hole is not fit to hold such a job.
Khary A November 26th, 2014 at 1:36 pm
He makes those statements because he is not afraid to. So much talk of “consequence for actions” and this goes on all the time. See that is what true freedom looks like in this country, it’s uglier than you thought huh?

Has the secret service paid a visit to the clown yet??
Foundryman November 26th, 2014 at 11:16 am
Another Constitutional genius who knows nothing about it.
I wish these people would start to get arrested and jailed.
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 26th, 2014 at 11:21 am
Boy…. Had to think what they would say about all my “Likes” on facebook !!! LOL
Anomaly 100 November 26th, 2014 at 11:55 am
I’m very careful about what posts I ‘like’. For example, someone tried to say that a woman whose child accidentally shot her dead ‘deserved it’. I would never like that post. No one else I know did either.
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 26th, 2014 at 12:11 pm
I was referring to the pages I like. But I agree with you about that kind of posting also.
But for all the wild and crazy stuff I post. Lets just say “Guilty as charged” for being a perv. LOL
Susan Beatrice Karimchise November 26th, 2014 at 11:27 am
I don’t think anyone should be shot , but I don’t think Obama is serving the best interests of the people who voted for him in the first place.
Tellit Likeitis November 26th, 2014 at 11:53 am
how do you feel about someone like this guy who makes death threats against the president?
Susan Beatrice Karimchise November 26th, 2014 at 12:12 pm
No one should make death threats against the president.
Besides that, its against the law.
I don’t like Obamacare and I don’t like Amnesty for illegal immigrants.
I dont like running up the deficit to atrocious levels either.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
tiredoftea November 26th, 2014 at 12:17 pm
Uhh, dear, the deficit has been halved under this President. And, he hasn’t offered “amnesty” like St. Ronny did.
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 12:20 pm
First, HC for all is great…second, there is no amnesty besides the reagan/bush ones. Congress handles the money…you seem to be stuck on sound bites sans facts
Susan Beatrice Karimchise November 26th, 2014 at 12:43 pm
I have some really nice beachfront property in Arizona that I am sure you would love to buy . Honest.

There’s a good wingnut reply. Whenever you don’t have anything else, right?
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 1:28 pm
you have nothing but ignorance and I am not interested in that
jasperjava November 26th, 2014 at 3:08 pm
Thank you for confirming that right-wingers are ignorant idiots.
giant slor November 26th, 2014 at 12:59 pm
Not allowed to criticize? Tell me who says nobody’s not allowed to criticize Obama.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 4:35 pm
many of the color shocked teabaggers are confused and think they’re still in the goosestepping days of GW. It’ll take a full WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN absolute control and a greater REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE to jolt them back into reality. Personally, I’d just as soon see them waste away in their political wasteland – or maybe ship them to China. Working in a rice field has a way of bringing one back to reality also.
semperhonesta November 26th, 2014 at 1:13 pm
You don’t like Obamacare? Were you really OK with paying your tax dollars to cover emergency room visits for people who had no health insurance before? Do you not realize that millions of people are now paying their own way because the ACA requires them to have insurance?
Maybe you should stop listening to the wingnut lies and find out the truth.
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 1:21 pm
If you don’t like this country, you are free to leave.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
don’t forget to ask them to travel one way.
arc99 November 26th, 2014 at 2:01 pm
Your comments demonstrate that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The deficit has been cut in half.
As for “liking” Obamacare, please explain how a system where insurance companies can drop you when you get sick, and are allowed to discriminate against people with pre existing conditions is preferable to a system where those policies are no longer allowed.
In the meantime, educate yourself. Comments like yours where your perception is at complete odds with reality are why those of us who support the President consider most of his critics to be poorly informed, dishonest or both
http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2014/sep/05/barack-obama/obama-says-he-has-cut-national-deficit-half/
At a union rally on Labor Day, Obama declared “We cut our deficits by more than half.”
The numbers back up Obama’s claim: Thanks to income tax revenues rising and spending on emergency assistance dropping, America’s deficit has fallen by more than 50 percent
from its highest point since World War II to a level $733 billion lower.
We rate the claim True.

Bunya November 26th, 2014 at 2:17 pm
I agree. The black guy doesn’t hold a candle to the last administration. Who can forget all the wonderful things the previous president has accomplished? Ignored intelligence warnings from the democratic president which allowed us to be attacked on 911, started two unnecessary wars, warrantless wiretapped US citizens, tortured detainees, tanked the economy, raised the deficit (along with unemployment), etc.
.
Yep. Those were the good old days.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 4:37 pm

LOL! True dat.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 4:12 pm
well, I’m glad to see you didn’t fall for the WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN BS about POTUS Reagan either.
He still holds the record for national debt EXPANSION at 300+%.
not to mention the Amnesty thingie -which I agreed with then, as I do now. It just makes overall good basic common economic sense for the US.
Susan Beatrice Karimchise November 26th, 2014 at 7:04 pm
I know you are nobody’s fool.
But maybe somebody will adopt you.
OldLefty November 26th, 2014 at 7:21 pm
I don’t like Obamacare and I don’t like Amnesty for illegal immigrants.
I dont like running up the deficit to atrocious levels either.
________
Then you should dislike, Reagan, Bush and Bush.
Obama brought down the deficits, did not grant “amnesty”, and what don’t you like about “Obamacare”?
I work in healthcare, so I think it’s a great start.
OldLefty November 26th, 2014 at 11:54 am
Why would you say that?
I think it is diametrically opposite.
crc3 November 26th, 2014 at 12:04 pm
Then you need to rethink how you feel and review everything Obama has done for GOOD because there is plenty of that!!!
tiredoftea November 26th, 2014 at 12:05 pm
Then, you must really love Congress!
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 12:19 pm
yeah, all that HC for the previously unemployed, digging us out of a goptp recession , and deporting more criminal immigrants then any other President while strengthing the border security…what an unamerican president…right?
R J November 26th, 2014 at 11:35 am
To those on the left that say “not all right wingers are violent racist”..keep on lying yourselves.
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 12:24 pm
what makes you difrent, you hate and denigrate the same way they do?
Ron Jackson November 26th, 2014 at 1:08 pm
I am up front about my hatred for all those on the right, I do not try are hide behind code words like they do,which is what makes me different than the racist scum on the right. I hate their white nationalist world view,they hate me because I am black.
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 1:28 pm
You are no diffrent when you hate an entire group because some are racist , being upfront about it just makes you vocal like they are in their hate. I can’t stand a racist, but I do not blame all for the actions and words of some even if that some is a majority
R J November 26th, 2014 at 1:40 pm
When you vote republican,you are voting for a white nationalist agenda,therefore you are a racist,therefore all right wingers are racist.
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 1:44 pm
nonsense…then when they say all Dems are socialist is that true?
R J November 26th, 2014 at 2:08 pm
I do not care what they say,or what they do,I do not waste time with them. I worry about the left, I care about what my side does. I worry about building up my side.This is one of the problem with the left,to worried about what and how right wingers view us. Who cares if they think you’re a socialist ?
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
I bet they say the same thing as ypou…who cares what rj thinks
R J November 26th, 2014 at 6:39 pm
Yeah but I’m not seeking to win them over,nor do I care if they approve or disapprove of anything that I have to say,the opinions and lives of right wingers do not matter to me.which is why I post in a site called LIBERAL LAND. The question is why do you worry so much about what they think of you ?
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
depends on what FACTS they present. I’m with RJ. The idiotic WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN PARTY has gone full bore overdrive to create a fascist state modeled after the 3rd Reich. EVERYTHING they say and do is for that one and only purpose. Not all Germans were Nazis, and some even caught on after it was too late and paid dearly for their disbelief. Just as the incompetent lazy ass do nothing Nazis of the 3rd Reich used the Jewish people as a scapegoat for their failings, the emerging WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN 4th Reich has opted to build unfounded hatred towards the Americans of black African Heritage. From their religion centers to their controlled media they are relentless in fabricating the black male into a criminal and thug. (note Trayvon Martin whose criminal behavior (?) tipped off the sorry sack of gz child stalking murderer in a chunky Latino body with a WHITE MALE Florida DL) and all the little ‘oopsie’ media forgets. IF NOTHING ELSE-watch reruns of the FAILED ARMED OVERTHROW of the US Government by the WHITE TERRORIST GROUPS in Nevada with a lot of the missing US Military weapons given to local PDs to ‘fight domestic terrorist’. They’ve all gone their separate ways, each and every WHITE one of them – after locking and loading on Federal Agents with their illegal Military weapons without so much as a single one being questioned -or required to relinquish one single round of ammo. I’m a purt near old white southern boy, but I can see as clearly as RJ.
giant slor November 26th, 2014 at 12:46 pm
I get that you don’t like conservatives. Ideologically I don’t care much for conservatives. Not all right-wingers are violent racists.
Ron Jackson November 26th, 2014 at 1:03 pm
Like I said lie to yourself if you must,but the thing to remember is that you never see the so call right winger whom you claim are not racist speak out against the ones that are. silence = approval
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 1:19 pm
If you vote for any Republican, you own all the right wing racism, and all the right wing violence.
Larry Schmitt November 26th, 2014 at 11:47 am
Doesn’t making public threats against the President make you a traitor?
Tellit Likeitis November 26th, 2014 at 11:52 am
it is a felony actually
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 1:19 pm
I would consider it treason, yes.
rational_thinking_one November 26th, 2014 at 11:50 am
And we wonder where our kids are learning disrespect from? When I was growing up, the President was one of the most respected authorities held. Now as kids hear their hateful, bigoted parents spew nonsense about President Obama, they think it’s totally okay to disrespect any and all levels of authority; whether that be a principal, a policeman, a teacher, etc., etc. And meanwhile they can watch Fox News with their parents to see more hate for authority.
crc3 November 26th, 2014 at 12:01 pm
…because Obama is black…nothing more…nothing less…

I would hazard a guess that it began with the death of JFK…then a slow down hill to watergate and so on…as we began to realize that they have human failings….what gets me is disrespect for the office .

The SS and FBI should pay this “man of god” a visit and better yet arrest him and throw him in jail. Then prosecute him and give him 10 years in prison…

Did ‘God’ tell him it was OK to write something this irresponsible and full of vinegar? IF he loves the Bible so much, did he miss the commandment about ‘thou shalt not KILL”?
Amazed that he feels there should be NO repercussions for this kind of tweet, 1st amendment be damned. I do hope the Secret Service is coming by today.

Don’t be silly. “Thou shalt not kill” applies to blastocytes, zygotes and fetuses. Once they pass through the birth canal, all bets are off.

Why is it that re can no longer put people in jail when they talk about shooting the President?

We are currently not governed by the rule of law.
Bunya November 26th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
I think it’s because the sitting president is black, and we all know how tolerant the GOP is of people who aren’t the right color. Make no mistake, the imbecile above is a racist, but uses thinly veiled excuses such as, this president is a “traitor” or he’s “overriding the constitution”.
Kim Serrahn November 27th, 2014 at 2:06 am
no doubt in my mind he a racist.
rg9rts November 26th, 2014 at 12:35 pm
This is the kind of idiot that needs a serious sit down with the secret service and a lecture with some jail time so he begins to grasp what it is to threaten the POTUS…..ANY POTUS.. this is the result of those idiots in congress running off at the mouth…they should have a talking to also. You may not respect the man but respect the office

Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 1:17 pm
I see death threats like this against our POTUS every day. I personally receive death threats from right wingers every day as well. If you want, I can provide screenshots of some of them for future articles.
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 1:22 pm
Obama needs to stop mollycoddling these right wing terrorists. They belong in prison and it is wrong not to prosecute them. Zero tolerance is the only solution.
Jones November 26th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
He said, “should be shot” not “I will shoot”. So there was no threat, just an expressed desire. It was an idiotic comment, but quite common. Real threats are not to be tolerated, but stupidity like this is not worth press coverage.
arc99 November 26th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
advocating that someone else should murder the President has been found to constitute a violation of the relevant federal code. yes, this is most certainly worthy of press coverage
