Texas College GOP Leader: Obama Assassination ‘Tempting’

Hours after Pennsylvania State Police arrested a 21-year-old Idaho man for allegedly firing a semi-automatic rifle at the White House, the top student official for the College Republicans at the University of Texas tweeted that the idea of assassinating President Obama was “tempting.”

At 2:29 p.m. ET, UT’s Lauren E. Pierce wrote: “Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we’ve EVER had! #2012.”

Pierce, the president of the College Republicans at UT Austin, told ABC News the comment was a “joke” and that the “whole was stupid.” Giggling, she said that an attempted assassination would “only make the situation worse.”

“Insofar as she’s a representative , maybe it shouldn’t be said, but she’s made a positive statement in a way, ” said Cassie Wright, the group’s vice president.

“I don’t really see anything wrong with it,” Wright added. “It’s just a personal comment, not representative of any group. Just freedom of speech, you know?”

1. Lauren, better stuff a sock in it.

That kind of talk isn't popular with the feds.

[Berlin Expat]

28. I see a future entrant

in the Upper Middle Class Twit Of The Year competition.

Hey, Lauren......make sure you have some milk and cookies out for when the Secret Service comes by for a little chat.

[BklnDem75]

2. Lauren E. Pierce - twit

[dipsydoodle]

3. Bad taste

Given their record.

[AmericaIsGreat]

4. Wait, what?

"But she's made a positive statement in a way."

What does that mean?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. Who knows?

Just loosen up and relax. She didn't mean anything bad about it!

:sarcasm:

[rocktivity]

5. “Y’all, as tempting as it may be, don’t disband the College Republicans at UT Austin,

You need to expel Lauren instead, because if she's too dumb to realize that George Bush was the worst president they've ever had, she's too dumb to be in college."

:headbang:

8. +1

[BanzaiBonnie]

11. And even though Goerge Bush WAS the worse president

we've ever had...

I NEVER had any thought about assassinating him, nor did I joke about such an awful thing.

[dotymed]

26. IF you had such thoughts and wrote about them or talked about

them, you would have been immediately arrested and probably face "enhanced interrogation" techniques. The Bush junta and its elite followers were very sensitive about any supposed threats to Bush.

Very often, on chat boards, etc., I have seen "neo-cons for bush" threaten to call the feds and post that they have done it. You were un-American to question a "wartime" President, especially W.

Fascism is ugly.

[cloudbase]

12. She should transfer to

A&M.

[Blue_Tires]

31. A&M is way too left for her taste...She'd be a better fit at Southern Methodist

But she'd have trouble passing for an 'old money' upbringing

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Yikes!!!

I hope "Agent Mike" is paying attention to these news reports.
:scared:

I haven't seen this level of hatred against an American President since, well, the last Democratic President.

[flamingdem]

9. She probably thinks Perry is ultra hot nt

[indepat]

10. Joking about guns or explosives on an airplane surely wouldn't be taken as a

joking matter. Some speech is not protected, no matter how jocular or innocent the claim. :patriot:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. She's getting close to the edge

She should google the name David Hilliard, a leader of the Black Panther party. He got into deep trouble for openly advocating against Richard Nixon what this young lady is almost alluding to. I remember hearing Hilliard's speech and his words broadcast nationwide on live television.

[benld74]

14. She has protected her account! ATYPICAL for sure!!!!

[Monk06]

15. But I'm not racist y'all. Only a racist half-rican would call me a racist. I'm just exercising

my first amendment right to say the Kenyan impostor should
be shot. Just joking though.........Ya know, Y'all....

[leftynyc]

16. Blech

My very liberal nephew goes to that school.

[and-justice-for-all]

17. The 'worst president ever' title has already been taken..by SHRUB..nt

[tanyev]

18. Looks like she has all the, uh, qualifications to get a job at Fox News.

[leftynyc]

19. I thought the same

Bleached blond full of hate - she'll fit right in at faux.

[treestar]

20. Interesting, why do they "need" Obama to be considered

the worst President ever?

[HughBeaumont]

23. Likely to cleanse themselves of the Bewsh 43 stench.

Not happening, though. Republicans own that lot of crap.

[Politicalboi]

21. As her President Bush said

"Some freedoms should be limited".

[WI_DEM]

22. there are a lot of mean spirited nut cases on their side.

[COLGATE4]

24. Aw, she's just interviewing for her upcoming job at Fux News

[Arugula Latte]

25. Secret Service: Pay her a visit!

NOW!

[Wait Wut]

27. Ladies and Gentlemen...

...meet the next Sarah Palin.

[Dawson Leery]

29. There is a reason why they are called "Kennedy Killers".

[Skittles]

30. LOL

you can bet mommy and daddy pay ALL her expenses
