I came across this extremely funny story today in the Dallas Morning News. A Dallas area man has plead guilty to threatening President Obama, and is awaiting federal sentencing in lieu of a trial.
Man pleads guilty
He pleaded guilty to posting an item on craigslist threatening the president after the passage of health care reform earlier this year. The genius posted the following on craigslist:
In a message posted on Craigslist on Mach 21, the night Congress passed the health-care bill, Miller wrote:
"People, the time has come for revolution."
He added: "It is time for Obama to die. I am dedicating my life to the death of Obama and every employee of the federal government. As I promised in a previous post, if the health care reform bill passed I would become a terrorist. Today I become a terrorist."
Here is the funniest part of the story:
An Arlington resident alerted the Secret Service to the post. They tracked it to the house where Miller lived with his mother, near Lovers Lane and Skillman Street.
I don't know what is more pathetic. The fact that he made such stupid comments on craigslist in the first place, or the fact that he's 43 yrs old and still lives with his mother. Check out the grilling he gets in the comments by the DMN readers. I would say this is another classic example of right wing fail..!
