Govt. arresting people for Facebook posts critical of Obama

[TheTman]

People, mostly veterans (so far) are being arrested and jailed or institutionalized for anti-Obama Facebook posts.

I wonder if this will spread to other forums? Pretty freaking disgusting. How does this bum get away with this crap?

One of those that ran afoul of authorities is this guy, Brandon Raub .

Good thing because he's evidently mentally ill and needs help. The other 300 million U.S. Facebookers need not worry, IMHO.

Color me skeptical. I didn't see any factual info in the article, just speculation.

Sounds like this guy was arrested for dabbling in conspiracy theories. Becareful, Tman.

It is NOT a credible source.

yeah if this were true most on this board would be sleeping with one eye open.

How did you determine that was not a credible source. I checked other websites that reported much the same thing, even a MSM site. Yes, it's mostly about that one guy, Raub, but these types of things usually start with one or two people to be "examples". Another guy is getting tossed out of the Marines for his Facebook page. I guess you can't "dis" the Commander in Chief while still in the service. With an honorable president I would go along with that, but with Obama? I guess you have to respect the rank, and not the person holding it.
Look at what Lincoln did to dissenters during the War of Northern Aggression. Many people were thrown into prison for expressing their opinions. And I don't think Barry Soetero has a 10th of the integrity that Lincoln did. The Raub deal may be nothing, or it could be a sign of things to come.
