Tweet about Obama Assassination

After the health care bill passed last night, a conservative blogger tweeted about an apparent assassination to Obama. The author also doesn't see his prior threats as very serious and sort of shrugged it all off.

This is pretty ridiculous to me. Any sort of threat to anyone for any reason should be thought of as serious. If I told you in person that someone should kill you, you'd be pretty freaked out and probably call some sort of authorities. When an anonymous person talking about the highest ranking official says something threatening, regardless of which medium it was expressed in, should be held accountable and looked into.

Authors and PR people need to realize their posts and tweets are all seen by the masses. They seek positive attention for a provocative and thought provoking post, but shun the negative attention there is going to be when they post something dumb and anarchic, such as in this case.
