Christian Militia Claims 'Authority' To Shoot And Kill Obama [View all]

No wonder people want surveillance with crackpots like this running around.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/23/1257923/-Facebook-Christian-Militia-Group-Makes-Death-Threats-Against-Obama?detail=email

So now, Right-Wing 'Christian' extremists are making death threats against President Obama, and on Facebook. The administrator, 'Everest,' for the Facebook group Christian American Patriots Militia begins his post on November 19th, with:
“We now have the authority to shoot Obama, i.e., to kill him."
Well, it’s a federal crime, i.e. a felony to make threats against any president.
A large number of people on Facebook have claim they reported the post and site. Some folks even say they contacted the FBI and Secret Service. Apparently, the authorities are fully aware, watching, and waiting. The penalty for a someone making a threat is far less, than if someone attempts to make good on that threat. And the authorities will be right there waiting for them, ready to snap them up.
