"We were trying to figure out how to assassinate Obama"

[L. Coyote]

I walked into the local bar Saturday night and walked over to the local Chevrolet dealer and asked, "What are you guys up to?"

"We were trying to figure out how to assassinate Obama," was the reply I got! Followed by and embarrassed "No" and a red face.
The local church deacon was visibly NOT on board with the comment.

What is a person supposed to do about this kind of blatant racism and hatred?
I guess one thing is to boycott the business, if you do any business there to begin with.
But how do we counter this and make some of these people get their heads on right?

1. What was racist? n/t

[L. Coyote]

22. I know this person! There are a few very racist people in this small town.

I should be doing some serious anthropology on them!

[DURHAM D]

24. Ok -

I didn't see his racism in your OP.

[Kalyke]

2. For starters, you could name names.

Embarrass them out of their rat holes.

5. Agent Mike might be interested. I do believe they frown on that

kind of talk...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Bounce, bounce, bounce

[michreject]

13. LOL

Remember the super ball?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. I love the super ball

[michreject]

17. It bounced really high

without much effort.

[Stellabella]

4. Maybe sending his name to the secret service.

That's a start.

[bluestateguy]

A visit by the Secret Service would make that fellow shit in his pants

That kind of talk is not free speech.

[spanone]

6. report them to federal authorities...

[BobRossi]

7. Not much different than my own sentements about the past potus.

Only your car-dealer friend is more subtle than I was.

[liberal N proud]

8. You could are report them o the Secret Service

Even if they were just joking, the Secret Service doesn't take kindly to threats on the President.

At the very least it would cause those who made the comments some grief.

[EFerrari]

9. WTF? Sometimes I think the human voice should come with an owner's manual.

:wtf:

[dgibby]

19. An ignition lock that prevents speech until one's brain is fully engaged.

[Cary]

10. Let them fester and rot.

That's about all "conservatives" are doing these days.

[MyUserNameIsBroken]

11. The first rule of correcting bad behavior:

Whether it's kids, dogs, or Chevy dealers, you first have to make them understand it's unacceptable.

The Secret Service showing up would definitely do that.

[spanone]

12. threatening to kill the President goes beyond bad behavior....

[L. Coyote]

28. It certainly cannot be considered as simply horrific humor.

No matter how bad your sense of comedy is, sane people would never say something like this to be funny.
It seemed like liquor may have loosened a tongue too far, and real sentiment got ahead of the brain shifting into gear.

[peace13]

15. It is amazing to me that people will make comments like that.

Folks who think that they are 100% patriotic while making comments about the county failing and the President being harmed. Under * I never would have spoken out on either issue for fear of being hauled in under the 'Patriot Act'. There are some awful folks out there, no getting around it. My sister refers to the President as Barry as a slam. If I could have called * what I wanted to I still wouldn't print it here.

[rrneck]

16. Was he serious? nt

[konnichi wa]

18. Did you leave out some of his comments? I don't see any racism there...

:shrug:

[L. Coyote]

25. I've know the person since grade school.

[applegrove]

20. Turn them in to the police.

[L. Coyote]

23. The retired sheriff makes this guy seem liberal.

The old sheriff is the worst racist I have ever encountered.
I suspect they would just laugh.

[NeedleCast]

26. The local sherrif isn't your only option...

[L. Coyote]

29. Posting here might be enough to bring down attention!

[libodem]

21. I've never had any use for a snitch

but I'd inform the FBI, in 5 seconds flat. That little group needs some infiltrating. Who knows next they could be sewing peace quilts. You know the kind of groups the FBI is used to spying on. Maybe they wouldn't be interested in Presidential Assassinations, plans? I wonder if they still have links to Bush and Cheney?

[bdamomma]

27. I would report them for saying such things.
