Obama Citizenship

Eligibility Incivility: Death Threats from the Left

Blogger and WorldNetDaily contributor Andrea Shea-King linked to a story from early January, 2011 wherein Margaret Hemenway, of the American Patriot Foundation (the group who has been supporting Army officer Terrence Lakin’s legal defense during his court martial proceedings regarding his stance on Obama’s eligibility), has been receiving direct threats and hate mail from those who oppose such questioning:

“I’ve been called a subversive and an enemy of the state, not to mention moron, insufferable little b-tch and a lot of other similar nasty comments,” APF’s Margaret Hemenway told WND. “I write a lot of them back to tell them that e-mail rage, like road rage, is neither healthy nor adult behavior and remind them it is the fundamental obligation of citizenship to support the U.S. Constitution.” …

Hemenway sent the following letter, postmarked in Columbus, Ohio, to the U.S.Post Officeauthorities to be investigated because it contained a direct threat:

“This is to inform you that LTC Larkin (sic) is a F—— COWARD who should be put in front of a firing squad and shot. If I see his a– on the streets of Washington I will save the government the expense of a trial, I’ll dip a bullet in s— and shoot him in the head. This f— off deserves to die on the streets of America.” …

Hemenway said a postal inspector told her the letter is “prosecutable,” but the inspector was not able to identify the sender during the investigation.

In parallel, the WND article goes on to correctly point out that the cross hairs used in the email communication was the same type of graphic used during the 2010 mid-term elections that some on the Left have to sought link the Right with Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s shooting.

Personally, I have never condoned such behavior on the part of those who question Mr. Obama’s eligibility, and I think that those who promote such incivility should be brought to public shame over such remarks.

It shouldn’t matter whether or not someone is questioning the bona fides of an individual in authority; this used to be considered a good thing in America. We don’t have unquestioned authoritarians ruling over us; we have constitutional officers that govern at the will of the People.

If you happen to be one of those who don’t agree with this sentiment, perhaps you should find another country in which to dwell. That would certainly help quell some of the true incivility that is obviously occurring by those who don’t like questions.
