Right-Wing Militia Leader Says Constitution Gives Him The Right To Assassinate President Obama [View all]

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 JFK’s 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. He’s also obsessed with guns and the Second Amendment. Furthermore, he’s 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.

“We now have authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him,” Wilhelmsen wrote. “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 illegitiimate government), reveal the dictator that he is… The authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment… 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. ”


Here’s the image of Wilhelmsen’s offensive post via Americablog.
