When I Said ‘Shoot The N*gger’ I Just Meant ‘I Hope The Bastard Dies’

[sufrommich]

A local Maine town official has attracted a lot of attention from his neighbors, the Secret Service and the FBI. David Marsters (image, top) retired as a police officer and now lives in the small town of Sabattus, Maine, where the population is about 5000. Last week, Marsters shared on his Facebook page an article from a right wing website, United Liberty, which advocated for the impeachment of President Barack Obama. On his Facebook post, Marsters reportedly wrote, “Shoot the Nigger.”

His neighbors and local law enforcement complained, and the feds showed up at his door.

He denies any wrongdoing, and says he didn’t threaten the president. “I didn’t say I was going to do it,” he told the Portland Press Herald. He also claimed his comments were taken out of context, although it’s unclear how that’s possible.

“I think it’s a lot of hogwash,” Marsters said in a telephone interview with the Herald. “I did not threaten the president. … I might have used the wrong words. … I didn’t say I was going to do it.”

“What I really meant to say is, ‘When are we going to get rid of this (expletive),’” he said. “I should have said, ‘I hope the bastard dies.’”

They don't even try to hide it anymore.

3. I bet whatever entity employed him is really, really glad he's retired. nt

4. Marsters, 68, is running for town selectman,

and reportedly on a platform that includes forcing the head of every household to own a gun. He currently “serves on the town’s charter commission, the budget committee, the ordinance review committee and a public works citizen advisory committee,” the Herald notes.

7. This is even more awesome! He can use town funds to prove his birther claims---

If the people of Sabattus are stupid enough to elect this man, they deserve him---- (the crazy at the link is NSFW.)

21. Wow. Not only feeding from the public trough, wallowing in it. True Bagger.

[Laffy Kat]

31. Um, he was a police officer. Christ. n/t

5. "That was taken out of context"

[lpbk2713]

9. Yes, of course.

Certainly he has nothing but high praise for our President.


This clown has all the makings of a fine T-bagger politician.

[sufrommich]

11. When someone objected to his Facebook post,he replied:

"Are you a democrat?" Because, you know, no red blooded republican would object to that.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. The lack of Republicans at the event yesterday would indicate that he is correct about his

fellows and peers in the House and Senate.

[thucythucy]

17. I like Al Franken's comment on the

"taken out of context" defense.

"The only way you can use that as an explanation is if the context was, 'You'd have to be a fucking idiot to ever say--'fill in the blank.'"

Otherwise it's always a fail of an explanation.

6. Sabattus calls emergency meeting to consider removing Marsters from boards

SABATTUS — The chairman of the town’s Board of Selectmen has called an emergency meeting for Thursday night to consider removing resident David Marsters from service on all town boards and committees on which he serves.

This is the only item on the agenda.

The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Office.

According to Town Manager Andrew Gilmore, Chairman Mark Duquette called the board meeting because “he believes, and I agree wholeheartedly, that timing is of the essence to make it very clear that the town government and this community as a whole are in no way aligned with Mr. Marsters, and what we perceive to be his extreme, radical views.”

13. "Marsters believes Obama was placed in power by people Marsters wouldn’t name"

My bet is on : 1. Muslims 2. Jews, 3. The New Black Panthers 4. Acorn 5. All of the
above.

[msanthrope]

14. And Brietbart was assasinated because he had video of the meeting. nt

[Erose999]

25. It was OWS protesters who got Breitbrat with one of those AIDS rings. Him and James O' Keefe were

doing a sting operation and caught the OWS kids getting hopped up on goofballs and having one of those... petting parties.

[msanthrope]

27. It was Shirley Sherrod and her hit squad of USDA goons....nt

[Erose999]

34. I think I once saw a movie about that. They're all named after snakes right? And their leader is

Bill Maher?

22. Forgot reptilian shapeshifters, blood drinking cults, greys, single moms, billions of Mexicans...

I know about your list and the last in mine fit my bagger relative. 'A mind is a terrible thing to lose.' The rest on my list comes from my CT not quite so good of friends as they once were...

[Raine]

32. "HE believes", it's always what they say they "believe". It's NEVER any real facts

or proof. Once I "believed" in Santa Claus but it was still my parents that gave me gifts. What I "believed" had nothing to do with what was real.

12. Good for them.Time for everyone

to shame these morons.

16. Update: Marsters resigns from Sabattus board appointments

SABATTUS — David Marsters has apologized for posting a racial slur and threat against President Barack Obama on Facebook and has resigned from all of his municipal board appointments.

Marsters submitted his resignation by email to Sabattus Town Manager Andrew Gilmore just before 8 a.m. Thursday, writing that “effective immediately I am resigning from all committees and commissions,” which include the Ordinance Review Committee, Budget Committee and Charter Commission.

“I deeply regret what I posted and do apologize for my actions,” he wrote.

Marsters, who is a retired police officer, became the target of heavy criticism this week after the Sun Journal reported Tuesday on a week-old Facebook post in which Marsters wrote “Shoot the N*****” atop a photo of the president.

Yup, he's a Birther.

8. So many people think they can un-ring a bell.

All that 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' bullshit is not going to change what he said.

[Blue_Tires]

18. These all-talk/no-sack tough guys are coming out of the woodwork

It's Marsters who needs to eat a bullet first and do us all a favor...

[KamaAina]

19. Damn those bedsheet racist Confederate Southerners!

oh, wait a minute... Maine?

20. Another Impeach Obama loser.

[freshwest]

23. +1

[Raine]

24. Hey ASSHOLE you'll be rid of him Jan 20 2017 when

Hillary is sworn in as President and not before then ... STUPID.

[Warpy]

26. You first, asshole.

There is nothing more to be said to bigots.

There is something to be done, hound the POS out of office.

[RKP5637]

28. Yet another victim of the teabagger virus! n/t

[mike_c]

29. keepin' it classy....

Sheesh.

[nyquil_man]

30. Stories like this illustrate the difference between the real Obama and the right-wing fantasy.

If Obama were truly a ruthless dictator, this guy would have been "vanished" overnight.

Instead, the incendiary comments are repeated in the media and he's given the opportunity to revise and extend them with still more hateful, violent rhetoric.

And the guy still whines and moans about how unfair it all is.

[silvershadow]

33. I hate to say it, but I think all these nuts coming out of the woodwork saying this sh*t are off

their meds. I really think one of these assholes is gonna attempt something before his term ends. I truly hope this President has a super-tight security detail. My God, the stupid runs deep. :/
