What's equally important is that unless the government is monitoring ALL our communications, SOMEONE had to have alerted the whitehouse via their new "snitch-line".

Sure, if you break down this man's comments into INDIVIDUAL WORDS, then yes "Live Free or Die" could be considered some kind of threat. If you read the ENTIRE comment, it is relates to the government taxing our freedom. When I heard the comments, read verbatum, I could only come up with the same freedom-related explanation.
Does the government have so much free time that they can investigate every possible possibility of a chance of a hint of a threat, or have they been assigned the task of seeking out dissenting points of view?

How long before Obama has is title changed to "El Presidente' "?

At last report, Obama averages 30+ potential threats on his life per day. Every single one of them is investigated to some extent by the Secret Service, especially when Obama will be traveling to that area.

This is no different than how it was under the Bush administration or under Clinton. Every possible or vague threat is taken seriously. I recall a case under Bush were a shop owner had a sign that said "Down with Bush" and he was paid a personal visit by the SS.

The Republican's have no issues invading town hall meeting merely to disrupt the meeting, you don't think some Democrat that disagreed with him would think twice about putting a damper on his day just by making a phone call? I'm sure 10's of thousands of people saw his post, it's no big work to make a quick phone call. The sh!t-storm runs both ways.

You can say what you want if you wear a tinfoil hat.
