Man Accused Of Threatening To Kill Obama

A Wisconsin man named Steven Joseph Christopher has been arrested for threatening to kill President-elect Barack Obama on the Internet.

Christopher, who was arrested by the Secret Service in Mississippi, has been charged with threatening to kill Mr. Obama for "the country's own good," according to prosecutors.

The 42-year-old Christopher reportedly made the threats on Jan. 11, 15, and 16 in a chat forum on the site www.alien-earth.org. He is being held until a bail hearing scheduled for next Thursday.

Below are three of Christopher's alleged postings on www.alien-earth.org. The postings are drawn from an affidavit filed by special agent Kelly Adcox with the United States Secret Service – parts of which were provided in a Department of Justice press release.

The alleged postings have not been edited by CBS News and are reproduced here as they appeared in the press release. Although the Department of Justice excised expletives and racial slurs, the postings still contain offensive content.

ok we have 6 days until my Presidential Assasination.
Yes, I have decided I will assasinate Barack Obama. It's really nothing personal about the man. He speaks well, has a loving although controlling wife and two cute daughters. But I know it's for the country's own good that I do this. And I'm not racist either, my family is a little, but isn't all Italian and european families? I mean how many times have you heard the word (racial slur) in the comforts of your home? I have a lot, and it really bothered me and I would confront them about it. No, it's not because I'm racist that I will kill Barack, it's because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways. How many of you Obama supporters are now disappointed after some of his arm-twisted Jewish appointee decisions??? Make's you think he's not really in charge(which he isn't). No it's the same old, same old filthy (expletive) (racial slur) who are poisoning America, who have murdered thousands of innocent lives on 9-11-01, and are thinking that they are going to get away with it again.

Barack, I view more as a sacrificial lamb, but the sacrifice MUST take place. He had good intentions, but like the Steve Taylor song goes, "a politician next door, swore, he'd set the Washington arena on fire, thinks he'll gladiate them, but they're gonna make him a liar."

So, I'm stuck here in Mississippi, and I'll need bus fare or some way of getting to Washington. I don't own a gun, so maybe someone can give me one. And I'll need a leak in the secret service to get a close up shot, somewhere close to the podium, since I've never fired a gun, so I need to get an easy shot off. Wattdysay fellas? Any help?

You all know we can't live with the jewscum anylonger, dont cha? You got a better solution? I'm all ears.

RE: ok we have 6 days until my Presidential Assasination.

Why is your heart so wicked?

I can get away with actually murdering Barack Obama OR just threatening to do it.

hth

To those who still think I'm a nobody, who antagonize me, who seek for my capture and arrest.....

I wll have you found, arrested and executed, if you push me too far.

i may be really young to understand all of this but this whole issue on the assination of Barack Obama is kind of dumb. i dont like him that much because he hates puerto ricans and i am puerto rican. but if i was to kill someone i wouldnt tell people online cause those people can be disguised as regular people but they can be the secret service so Steven had to think b4 saying nething but i think hes stupid for saying his plan and i think its stupid to kill someone u dont hate so yeaa

Well.... those posts were written by an idiot as the Nubianslave posts were obviously written by a white person and a racist. Know how we can tell? Because very few blacks would advocate the destruction of Muslims or any other persons of color, that''s why. The minute the idiocy about the "4 reich and killing the Arabs" comes out--you know it is a pretend white person trying to inflame other whites. But the truth is, a certain type of person (racist) always comes out of the woodwork at a time like this--and hides behind their keyboard trying to foment hatred--but usually since they are imposters, they never get the lingo or the ideologies truly down pat. ROTFLMAO

How deliciously hilarious the hubris of those who are red of neck.

"...the worst part is that i have unfortunatly heard this kind of thing all over. there was even a milwaukee cop who said something very similar. its horrible." Posted by bigscruffy1

There were quite a few similar posts in these comments threads during the campaign, when Mr, Obama grew closer to becoming "the man".

Other interesting ones were about how if Mr. Obama won, they would leave the country.

Would that they actually meant it, and are packed and ready to go, America would be better off without them, except maybe the only country that would accept them might be Serbia.

Seeing as how Bart used that line to lure two kkk members behind a rock, where they immediately got their butts handed to them by Bart and Jim...

Yep, absolutely!

Some posters disagree with Obamas politics and others are just racists.
The racists are the ones who misspell Obama''''s name.

I agree, but on the bright side, I do think that, to readers worldwide, this obviously and immediately points out the low character and lack of credibility of the poster.

Apparently the guy who made those posts didn''t know (though he''s about to find out) that threatening a President is a federal crime, even if you''re just joking.

Enjoy your stay in Leavenworth. Idiot.
