The Secret Service is investigating two Twitter users who, apparently angered by the passage of the health care reform bill, took to the Internet Sunday to call for the assassination of President Obama.
It's unbelievable that something like health care coverage for all Americans has angered some people to the point of calling for the assassination of our President. Ironically, both of the men being investigated identify as African-Americans.

Looks like the ugly, racist underbelly of this country is rearing its ugly head one final time. Pathetic.
Both of the men being investigated are African-American.
"ASSASSINATION! America, we survived the Assassinations and Lincoln & Kennedy. We'll surely get over a bullet to Barrack Obama's head," wrote one Twitter user, who goes by the handle Solly Forell, and identifies himself as a conservative blogger and "'authentic' African American."
I am betting against the twits (or is it tweeters?) being black men. More likely that they are terrorists- home grown militia or foreign.

There is no excuse for violence against anyone. We are a nation of laws, and we must work to change the laws we do not like through the system that is set up to do that. Often I wish that we had less flaming and hatred expressed here by some of the posters, but I do realize that emotions run high at times. Nevertheless, calling for the assassination of anyone, especially the President, is outrageous. Unfortunately, there are nuts - psychos - who will use any excuse to act out their hate.
If something were to happen to the President, we'd have Biden to contend with. And if anything happened to Biden, we'd have Pelosi as President. Does anyone -- even psychos - want Nancy Pelosi for President?
