They pulled the Psalm BS and left this?

WTF?

[AllyCat]

1. Not only is that completely inappropriate, I don't think it's spelled correctly

Nevermind. Correct spelling. Interesting there are two asses in that word :)

[Mz Pip]

2. One was a prayer

for something bad to happen. A wish. This is worse. It's a command.

[Warpy]

3. Obviously the site owner needs to do a bit more homework

because this is completely unacceptable in a sane society.

[Ruby the Liberal]

4. How does one report inappropriate content to them?

[AllyCat]

5. I couldn't find any way to do it. Shall we forward to SS?

[louis-t]

6. Do it.

This is out of control.

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. I found a FAQ to email [e-mail]

But SS isn't a bad idea. They should know about this.

33. Just emailed them asking what was wrong with them...

I asked if anyone could post anything without any sort of filter at all.

8. Just contacted them

and said I was reporting it to the Secret Service. Outrageous!

[sellitman]

9. Good job.

Why we would have to police this insanity is beyond me?

[Ruby the Liberal]

10. Good move. Thank you. If we all

hound them, maybe they will take it down immediately without their stupid polls and "debate" for 2 days.

This is out of control.

15. So did I, Ineeda!

And I didn't use the mild word "inappropriate" but treasonous.

About your user name, Ineeda, many years ago there was an eating place in Philadelphia named "Uneeda" ... plate of ham and eggs." I wonder if it's still there? This was in the early forties, and I haven't been back to the east coast for 47 years.

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. This has been out there since 2007. I don't care who was in charge

it should have been taken down 2 years ago.

[MineralMan]

12. Email sent.

[kestrel91316]

13. I emailed them with a link to the shirt and told them I was gonna tell the

Secret Service their company was cooperating with someone who was advocating assassinating Obama.

[Ruby the Liberal]

14. Actually, this moron put this online in 2007

Inappropriate regardless of administration. The fact that it is still out there is despicable.

[kestrel91316]

21. I hated Bush as much as anyone and it was inappropriate when HE was in office.

[Cha]

26. Yes, we all hated him for what he was doing to our country

and doing to our Soldiers and our Treasure..but I never wanted the little fucker dead.

I wanted him to go down and he did..finally.

[marshall]

22. What was going on in Dec 2007 that caused somebody to create this shirt?

And I wonder how many have been sold?

[Ineeda]

17. I did exactly the same thing and sent the link to Secret Service

As if they need more sh*t to deal with!

[Hepburn]

16. Holy fuck!?!?!?!?!?!

:wow:

[Pilotguy]

18. Here's the contact page...

I told them I was reporting this to the Secret Service and the FBI.

20. Here is another site that is useful

https://tips.fbi.gov/

[Meshuga]

19. Isn't this a crime?

Perhaps the FBI should be contacted.

[FLyellowdog]

23. 1-877-809-1659

Just called them and told them how offensive this item is and that they should be ashamed of themselves for advocating such a thing. Person assured me they were investigating and would pull the item.:shrug:

[denem]

24. MORAN spelling - that's where this came from.

[jaxx]

25. That site demanded mega cookies and was still begging when I x'd it out.

I use firefox and it went crazy.

Never again will I go there.

[jillan]

27. I just forwarded this link to [e-mail]

Hopefully she will bring light to this as well as she did with that prayer.

do we need a full time Cafe' Press Czar?

[sellitman]

28. Seems that way.

Apparently this one was a left over from the bush years. It is just as wrong no matter who it's against.

This isn't what our founding father meant when they wanted "Free Speech"

[marshall]

29. I doubt Rachel will bring this up

It makes it sound like assassination threats are commonplace.

[Ter]

30. I believe there are two reason the Secret Servive has not pulled this

1) They want to monitor everyone who buys it.

2) It does not say who that want to assassinate. The shirt says "Assassinate" with "Impeach" crossed out. It could be referring to anybody, from a governor, Senator, dog catcher, or Hugo Chavez. Side note: Is it legal to advocate assassination of someone living outside our country. It must be. Remember all those "Kill Bin Laiden" shirts in 2001?

[rasputin1952]

31. The bottom line, it costs $23 to be a traitor...

Pretty cheap...the teabaggers must be in their glory...:grr:

[Hekate]

Are people allowed to put just any old thing on that site? Good gawd.

That is just disgusting.
