Clueless Conspiraloon arrested for Threatening Obama.
2009-01-17
Secret Service agents on Friday arrested a man in Mississippi who wrote a series of entries in an Internet chat room saying he intended to kill President-elect Barack Obama, the Justice Department said. The man, Steven J. Christopher, who is from Wisconsin, was arrested in Brookhaven, Miss., for making threatening entries on Jan. 11, 15 and 16, said Dunn Lampton, the United States attorney in Jackson.

The entries, which included racial and anti-Semitic remarks, were on a Web site that features information and articles about extraterrestrials, government conspiracies and unexplained physical phenomenon.
The Juice, ETs, and the Gummint. That just about covers it.
There are hundreds like this loon out there for every President.
In one Jan. 11 entry, according to the Justice Department, Mr. Christopher wrote: "Yes, I have decided I will assassinate Barack Obama. It's really nothing personal about the man."
The Secret Service does not care if it's personal.
Mr. Christopher added that he had no way to travel from Mississippi to Washington and said, "I don't own a gun, so maybe someone can give me one."
Must be a newbie in the conspiraloon culture: Homicidal nutburgers are expected to provde their own guns. They get extra points if they make the guns themselves. Steven here won't be needing one for quite a while though.
Mr. Lampton said, "Threats against the president-elect will be taken very seriously."
Good thing our mind-control satellites and lip-reading squirrels have zeroed in on these kooks. Maybe Dennis Kucinich will show a little bi-partisan (Hiter-Stalin) spirit and help with his defense.
