#1 Well, at least she wasn't arrested, but I thought secret Service guys had better things to do. Still, I hope she'll understand the civic lesson here, though I really doubt the experience made her love GWB more...

#2 But what are they supposed to do? Ignore it?

And then it turns out that the supposed giggly 14-year old is a bearded 44-year old who used the MySpace site as the hub for an assassination conspiracy?

Besides a threat to kill anyone is a felony.

#3 And First Amendment lawyers question whether the Secret Service over-reacted to a 14-year-old's comments on a Web site made for casual socializing.

...And how old were the little bas*ards who have gleefully shot up school after school? IIRC, some were still in elementary school.
The agents did exactly what they were supposed to do. When a 14-year-old discovers she's pissed off the Federal Government - especially for somthing this thoroughly stupid - Mommy and Daddy should NOT be there. She should face the hornet's nest she's stirred up all by her lonesome.

#6 If someone set up a "Kill Julia" page I wonder how she'd respond?

#7 They were verifying that it was HER website and HER images and HER eidting, not her father or an adult using her as a beard.

THAT is why there is no first amendment issue nor any issue about her being questioned without her parents present. A threat was presented, and this wa srequired to see if the trheat was genuine, credible and what the exact source was.

#8 BTW - miss "thick as a brick" of teh ACLU - the way to determine the threat is harmless is to interview her. The truncheons and electrodes are for serious Bush-haters (you'll soon see...heh heh). They did their job, and your knee jerked correspondingly. All is right in the world, except for little Miss Wilson, an eighth grader with BDS. She's destined to be an underachieving Cat-lady with few friends and a lotta societal angst. Future librarian. Good job by the parents. Bet they voted Kerry-Edwards? $100? Who's taking?

#9 I don't know what they are doing to the kids at McClatchy but how many 8th or 9th graders are into politics? "Moose and Wilson say they had no idea what their daughter had posted online." Idiot parents, I bet she has a computer in her room too.

#10 "I don't condone what she did, but it seems a little over the top to me," said Julia's father, Jim Moose. "You'd think they could look at the situation and determine that she's not a credible threat."

Hey, Dipstick, what's "over the top" is your moron daughter's stoopid behavior. In an age where filmakers see nothing wrong with portraying the assassination of a democratically elected sitting president, this sort of shit has got to be curtailed. The Secret Service were just doing their job and doing it well.

#15 Yeah well, even Moonbats should have some sense.
And they don't.
And it's driving me crazy.
Someone taught this child that this kind of disrespectful smut amounted to some kind of political speach, and PEACEFUL political speach at that.
It boggles the mind.

#17  I'm very peaceful;

A little hard to square this statement with advocating the murder of the President. Or has the meaning of 'peaceful' changed recently?

#20 655,000 lives lost in a war searching for WMD vs 14 yr old girl with a cartoon. By the way, WMD-Weapon of Mass Deception. While I don't know anyone willing I don't know anyone who would mourn either. Many people tried to get rid of Hitler too.

#24 6.55 million? That is not the figures I have. 655,000
Posted by Moonbat 2006-10-13 22:09||   2006-10-13 22:09|| Front Page Top

#25 655,000 does not compute.

I am no math wiz but during the summer when things were the hottest, the figure given was 100 Irqis killled per day. Mind you, not killed by American or British Soldiers but by "insurgents" and Terrorists.
The war (such as it is) has been on for lets say 1200 days.
So taking the only figure that has been reportted as a HIGH number and doing the math that would be 120,000 dead and frankly no one believes that either.
The supposed 655,000 is not credible.

#27 Counterrevolutionary splittist! The Central Committee, after Scientific Socialist Survey, has determined exactly 6,552,643 Iraqis have been killed in the last 24 hours by bloodthirsty, drug addled, over sexed, over here American female soldiers alone. To question the authority of the Central Committee is to volunteer for Reeducation Camp!

#28 JD - The number in my last post is a link. When my number was questioned I went to look it up and see if I had, in fact, dropped a decimal. Upon further research I found multiple links with that number. Try it. Google "655,000 lives lost in Iraq" and see what you get. Thanks for the input.

Tu3031- Thanks for the name.

Pravda - I'm not fat, but I'll work on that.

#29 Cheez buddy I know YOU didn't make it up.
I looked at the link:
"Survey suggests violent death rate in Iraq is now running at one every three minutes "

Survey Says: Family Feud Science.
I do not believe thyat the methods used to cinduct this survey were unbiased and I do believe that the saps who conducted it were flat snookered.

#30 Just the fat in your fat western skin would feed a 1000 Courageous Korean Comrades for a week. Your bone marrow alone would make 100 liters of Juche soup for our comrades who are in the peak of health with just a timbleful a day and 1 leaf of kimchi.

#31 "The study, published by The Lancet, was based on a survey of 1,849 households at 47 random locations in Iraq this summer. A team of Iraqi doctors asked heads of households how many members had lost their lives in the year before the invasion in March 2003 and then in the three subsequent years."

Who conducted this survey ?
Who took thhem around dangerous Iraq where it is unsafe to travel freely due to the rampant killing?
Do they speak or read Arabic ?
Can they really tell a death certificate from a report card ?
Where do the Iraqis get these death certificates ?
How do you know that they are telling the truth ?
Maybe the Iraqis thought they were going to be awarded damagge claims and inflated the number .
etc,

#33 The "survey" was done by the same folks who did the 100,000 (95% confidence interval about 200,000) dead Iraqis just before the 2004 elections. They even admitted doing it to influence the US elections, and what do you know, it's election time again. Too bad the Lancet has morphed from a respected medical journal to a propaganda outlet.

#34 JD - You are correct. I had seen it posted all over the place in several reputable publishers, however, they are all based on the same study. Thanks for correcting me. Still, even 6 lives for a lie is too many.

#35 Dobry Vecher Comrade Moon!
Even 1 is too many! Learn from your mistakes occupiers of England! 1 death is a tragedy, 52 deaths is a statistic! How many more must die before the occupation of the Cliffs of Dover ends? Learn from example, occupiers of Celtic soil. Anglo-Saxons out of Britain!

#36 The editor of the Lancet was one of the main speakers at an "anti-war" rally the other day, along with MP George Galloway. He isn't exactly an unbiased scientist, disinterestedly seeking the truth.
