Brad Pitts mom recieves death threats for criticising Obama.

[Autumnlicious]

^ Die in a fire. ^

Whoops, I went beyond that.

Someone arrest me!

It's the daily fucking mail.

Britain's National Enquirer.

Actually I saw this on MSNBC and googled news and quoted that link. Even rags have access to Associated Press type links, and tv as well.

It is like nit picking between a crack whore and a house wife witnessing a car accident and placing blame on the same person.

Otherwise Fox News would have reported the Japanese Tsunami as a liberal conspiracy to wreck the global economy .

[Autumnlicious]

Except that this is over someone getting a bunch of pseudo-anonymous threats while being a public figure.

Second you open yourself to public criticism means getting hate is assured. We don't see celebrities melting down because someone tweets "Die in a fire, XXX".

Manufactured crisis meet idiot controlling entity above me.

Taqiyya hit it right on:

"'Brad Pitt's mom, die,' Sandy Kownacka posted on Twitter."

That is not a death threat. I am inclined to wonder if the other quote is someone posing and trying to inflame.

Seems rather odd for anyone to care enough what Pitt's idiot mother has to say, to issue a death threat. I call "reverse Poe".

Indeed. I call -- "Insufficient proof for conjecture." In other words, making shit up and blowing it out of proportion.

But no one, deserves death threats NO ONE! There isn't even one person here who doesn't have some sort of political rival as a co-worker or family member or even friend.

Just another absolutist, wonderful statement of yours.

She sounds like your typical fascist dumb cunt....

How did she sound fascist?!? Just because she doesn't want gay marriage or abortion, and doesn't like Obama, does not make her a fascist. If you throw that term around loosely it will eventually lose all actual meaning.

I have little doubt that she signs on to the rest of their agenda. You refuse to face the reality that all of this tea bagging shit is scripted by your corporate heroes.

Wake up, Tibs.

Shush on the "Wake up" bullshit. Same crap that paintpooper shits all over certain threads. I'm not pleased to see it here.

Either show that she supports their racist policies, that she has declared unconditional support of the tea party (and thus support of said racist policies).

The rest is made up conjectures.

The Tea party is a corporate controlled monster, but their supporters have made the conscious decision to remain and must be judged on those grounds.

I live with them, Moros. They are not allowed to deviate from the party line. That's what is scary about these fuckers. They have surrendered their free will to the Koch Brothers.

[Autumnlicious]

Unfortunately, I must remain skeptical of holding such judgements, even though my personal biases are in accordance with yours.

Wake up, Tibs.

Firstly, I don't have "corporate heroes".

Secondly, even if this had something to do with the tea party, you cannot seriously consider them "fascist". Several parts of their agenda are inherently anti-fascist (against big government, pro-capitalism, etc).

Thirdly, you didn't answer my question.

No worries on that account that crying fat guy on FOX news pretty much wore out the term "fascist" years ago. It is now empty.

What the hell was his name? Chalk boards, conspiracy theories, everything pointing Obama being the root of all evil. Oh yeah, Glenn Beck. Whatever happened to that douche bag?

---

She sounds like your typical fascist dumb cunt.... but I agree that death threats are over the top.

Not to mention the foolishness of tipping your hand. The smart thing is to take her out quietly while maintaining reasonable deniability.

But why her? Seriously, that's a wasted bullet when there are so many worse around. My motto is live and let persecute. Well .. up to a point.

Ok, so when according to you is it ok to threaten IN A SECULAR PLURALISTIC non fascist non theocratic society with death?

She basically called Obama a whore like a redneck responds to the word slut being spray painted on a water tower in reference to his sister or mother, and says "I'm going to kill you"

What civility do we have as humans if we can just beat the shit out of people who say things that offend us?

You claim that it was just venting? Fine, since you claim to be an expert tell me where is the line drawn?

Keep in mind as atheists we are NOT well liked in a believing majority and do say tons of offensive things theists, would jail and kill us over, if they had the power.

I do not protect her words as a matter of agreement. Even her other son said "She is of a different generation".

Civility isn't a matter of agreement, or avoiding being offensive. Civility is when we find common law EVEN in the face of being offended ourselves.

There is a HUGE difference between being offensive and making physical threats.
