When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, most Americans wept at the terrible news. Today, it seems like if President Obama were assassinated half of the nation would mourn his loss while the other half would cheer wildly. Which half would cheer you ask? Those who identify as conservatives of course. And just as conservative extremists once called for JFK to be killed during his presidency, they are doing it all over again in the hopes that history will repeat itself.
Conservative extremist Everest Wilhelmsen called for assassinating President Obama on Facebook.
Three days prior to the 50th anniversary of JFKs death, a right-wing nut job posted a call to assassinate President Obama on his Facebook page. Everest Wilhelmsen identifies himself as a supporter of the Tea Party. Hes also obsessed with guns and the Second Amendment. Furthermore, hes the head of a militia as well as a birther. In his post flagged by Americablog, Wilhelmsen claims to have the authority to shoot and kill President Obama and says this authority has been granted to him by the Constitution.
Heres the image of Wilhelmsens offensive post via Americablog.
