Obviously, there are some folks on the Internet who weren't happy with the election

[MrScorpio]

This message is for them.

Fine... I hope that they bitch and grumble all they want. It's their right.

However, there's a line, when crossed, which goes from bitching and moaning to actual threats.

This is America, where we have good reason to take threats seriously.

Threats require action.

The people of DU are patriots. They care for the safety of any President, even that jackass, George W. Bush.

We understand that the election of Barack Hussein Obama is a very emotional event in most of our lives.

But, we the people of DU, will never stand idly by and allow anyone or any group to threaten the life of President-Elect Obama or his family.

We are responsible and vigilant enough to report any such threat promptly to the proper authorities.

Let this serve as a warning: Do not issue threats, idle or otherwise, under penalty of LAW.

We are very serious about this matter.

MrScorpio, Member of the Democratic Underground

If I hear anyone making threats against him, I'll be on the phone to the police. I didn't approve of threats against Bush/Cheney. I'm sure as hell not going to put up with them against Obama/Biden.

the privilege of discussing the election here........they will leave since it's not serving their mission....or maybe they will find more similarities than diffrences...........Only time will tell.

15. I endorse the above message.

And I frankly have to thank you guys for turning me on to the freeps, I will be monitoring their boards daily and exposing their stupidity in a daily blog. As a writer who recently has been very blocked as to what I care enough to write about, finding their site is like finding gold.

They have shocked and horrified me so much that my new mission in life is to shine a spotlite on their xenophobia, hate, and twisted logic.

I thought they couldn't disgust me any more than they have with their racism and gay bashing and lies, but then I found this little morsel, where they bemoan Women's rights to vote and wish for the repeal of the 19th amendment. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2126361/posts
