“We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste,” the network said in a statement Friday. “We made this clear to the executive producers of the series, who apologized immediately for this careless mistake.

“We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and have halted all future shipments of the DVDs, removed it from our digital platforms and will edit the scene for all future airings on any distribution domestic or international.” Read more

Conservative calls for assasination of President Barack Obama on Twitter….. read on

Self-described conservative blogger Solomon “Solly” Forell posted a tweet that included a call for assassination, as well as this line: “We’ll surely get over a bullet 2 Barack Obama’s head!” He goes on and on with his little rants after that view the tweets below:

That tag he added? #TCOT? It stands for “top conservatives on Twitter.”

According to his Google profile, Forell is the author of a blog titled Barack Obama Was An American Electorate Mistake, which centers around Forell’s disappointment in Obama’s presidency. This disappointment spills over into Forell’s other blogs, including Anybody But Barack Obama 2012, and The Audacity of Hype, which both touch upon Forrell’s disgust with the “cult” of Obama, “a man who has done little with his life, but has written about his achievements as ifhe had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth.”

Forell may think he’s protected by the First Amendment when it comes to his tweets, but the law begs to differ, specifically 18 USC Sec. 871:

Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

You’ll note however, that there’s nothing specified about electronic threats. Perhaps that’s why, as of now, Forell’s Twitter account does not appear to be suspended; the tweet threatening the President’s life was posted roughly six hours ago and has not yet been removed.

Update: While Forell hasn’t removed the offensive tweets, he has posted an apologetic P.S.:

Twitter said that they removed the profile but Solly Forell was still up and running. Also they say that the Secret Service is investigating this matter.Secret Service spokesperson Max Milien stating: “We are aware of the actual posting and are actively investigating.”
