Bible Loving Public Safety Officer Wants ‘Traitor’ Obama ‘Shot’

Posted by | November 26, 2014 11:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


On Rush Limbaugh’s Facebook page, a New York state fire chief wrote that our “traitor” president should be “shot” because of his executive action on immigration.

Mother Jones reports:

Last week, Limbaugh posted a photo of the president on his Facebook page with this caption:

Imagine what would happen if just for a week, Obama worked as hard for Americans as he does for illegal aliens. Just imagine if he cared as much about the unemployed, taxpaying citizen of this nation who cannot get health care as he cares about those who are not citizens.

Under that post, Donald Baldwin wrote that the President of the United States should be shot. Who would ‘like’ such a post? At least 5 people when this screen grab was taken:

Many of Baldwin’s “likes” on Facebook indicate his ideological fancies: the Republican National Committee, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Tx.), right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin, the Heritage Foundation, and a Facebook page for the Hobby Lobby case. Baldwin used to work for energy giant GE.

Mother Jones asked whether he really believes Obama “deserves to be shot,” and he said,  “Anyone who goes against or wants to override the Constitution of our country is in my eyes a traitor.”

Baldwin’s favorite books include the Bible and I Love God. His favorite movies include Heaven is for Real and God’s Not Dead. He describes himself on Facebook as a “mature adult.”

Hey Secret Service, we got another one for ya’.

    This unhinged hater needs to be locked away for a long time.

    All of a sudden Limbaugh cares about the unemployed? Since when?

    • tiredoftea November 26th, 2014 at 12:16

      Since he can launch his usual factless tirade against Obama

    • tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 12:16

      since the ACA is law, unemployed Americans can and do get HC.

    Did ‘God’ tell him it was OK to write something this irresponsible and full of vinegar? IF he loves the Bible so much, did he miss the commandment about ‘thou shalt not KILL”?

    Amazed that he feels there should be NO repercussions for this kind of tweet, 1st amendment be damned. I do hope the Secret Service is coming by today.

    • Bunya November 26th, 2014 at 14:07

      Don’t be silly. “Thou shalt not kill” applies to blastocytes, zygotes and fetuses. Once they pass through the birth canal, all bets are off.

      • ShelleysLeg November 26th, 2014 at 14:25

        Doh……of course! I completely lost my mind there!!

        What WAS I thinking, expecting civility from someone claiming to be Xtian!

    Why is it that re can no longer put people in jail when they talk about shooting the President?

    • rg9rts November 26th, 2014 at 12:36

      We would have to arrest half the gopee …its their favorite talking point.. disrespect to the office

    • Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 13:18

      We are currently not governed by the rule of law.

    • Bunya November 26th, 2014 at 14:05

      I think it’s because the sitting president is black, and we all know how tolerant the GOP is of people who aren’t the right color. Make no mistake, the imbecile above is a racist, but uses thinly veiled excuses such as, this president is a “traitor” or he’s “overriding the constitution”.

      • Kim Serrahn November 27th, 2014 at 02:06

        no doubt in my mind he a racist.

    This is the kind of idiot that needs a serious sit down with the secret service and a lecture with some jail time so he begins to grasp what it is to threaten the POTUS…..ANY POTUS.. this is the result of those idiots in congress running off at the mouth…they should have a talking to also. You may not respect the man but respect the office

    I see death threats like this against our POTUS every day. I personally receive death threats from right wingers every day as well. If you want, I can provide screenshots of some of them for future articles.

    Obama needs to stop mollycoddling these right wing terrorists. They belong in prison and it is wrong not to prosecute them. Zero tolerance is the only solution.

  17. Jones November 26th, 2014 at 15:35

    He said, “should be shot” not “I will shoot”. So there was no threat, just an expressed desire. It was an idiotic comment, but quite common. Real threats are not to be tolerated, but stupidity like this is not worth press coverage.

      advocating that someone else should murder the President has been found to constitute a violation of the relevant federal code. yes, this is most certainly worthy of press coverage

              common sense requires recognizing the legal precedent established by United States v. Apel where encouraging others to harm the President is in fact a violation of the US code.

                “Now actually what happened here in all this was a kind of very crude offensive method of stating a political opposition to the President. What he was saying, he says, I don’t want to shoot black people because I don’t consider them my enemy, and if they put a rifle in my hand it is the people that put the rifle in my hand, as symbolized by the President, who are my real enemy.”
                The court is not always right. Dread Scott? Hobby Lobby? Citizens United?

    well for Mr. Constitution’s information, Reagan (terrorist enabler, illegal war lord and the world’s greatest drug smuggler to date) was shot.! – just goes to show what a little faith in the Almighty can accomplish. (next time, use the ‘by a competent marksman’ prayer).
