Stupid, dumb and dangerous is the only way you can explain this idiot that would openly threaten the life of President Obama on his Facebook page. I must admit that I am a bit shocked that it would happen so openly, but not surprised. Let’s be honest, we know why some people just don’t like the President.
Like him or not, the office of the President of the United States must be fiercely protected. In my mind, not sure if this is reality, a threat made on the President leads to an arrest. Nevertheless, this moron did attract the attention of the Secret Service.
From Raw Story: “We now have authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him,” Wilhelmsen posted on hisFacebook page. “His willful violations and alienation of our Constitution, constant disregard for our peaceful protests and corruption of all the three branches of government, (i.e., rogue and illegitimate government), reveal the dictator that he is. Obama and his co-conspirators disrespect our Constitution (constitutional rule of law) and abuse the American people.”
The post was made the same day as a gathering of right-wing cranks, conspiracy theorists and gun advocates met at a park across from the White House demanding that Obama voluntarily leave office.
Wilhelmsen does not refer specifically to the Reclaim America Now rally, but he does circle the date as he attempts to constitutionally justify his apparent call for the president’s murder.
“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,” Wilhelmsen posted.
Apparently, all of Wihelmsen’s Facebook groups, pages and accounts have an assorted collection of radical, Christian fundamentalist that believe the President is a Muslim dictator determined to ruin the country. The Christian American Patriots Militia Facebook page led by Wihelmsen has over 1,400 members. The conversation ranges from Bible verses and radical, anti-government discussion.
We love to think of these nut jobs like Wihelmsen as harmless an idiotic. However, this can’t be the case because it is this exact formula of stupidity that can act…..and maybe are looking for an opportunity to do just that.
At the very least, this man should be arrested. If you can’t even joke about a bomb on an air plane, then you bet not be able to mention, in all seriousness, the intent to kill the first black President of the United States.
