Alabama teacher uses Obama assassination example in class

I opened this thread expecting that I had finally found something on which I could come to Obama's defense. Based on the article from the original post, however, I don't see anything the teacher should be fired over. Was it in bad taste? Yes. At the same time, he never said he thought the President should be assassinated.
Joseph Brown, a senior in the geometry class, told The Birmingham News that the teacher "was talking about angles and said, 'If you're in this building, you would need to take this angle to shoot the president.'"
Anyone who has seen a documentary on the JFK assassination can visualize the angle Lee Harvey Oswald was shooting at. I'd give the teacher an ass chewing, but I certainly wouldn't fire the guy for what he said. It was a poor choice of words.
This is yet another case of a liberal media making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Why not a can or a coke bottle? Fire his ass...he knew what he was implying.
And I rest my case ...
There were countless things said during the W. administration in poor taste, including various theories from both academics down to teachers about "what if" W. was assassinated. I personally love how people get emtional and bent-out-of-shape, taking a completely politically aligned standpoint and going into total denials.
Touche, I personally love how the bleeding hearts can't help themselves get riled up about something they think is the end-of-the-world and yet another great something to hate the Republicans for. In all honesty, I like doing the same on conservative boards, give something to the right-wingers to go ape shit about too.

Do you have one tangible, credible shred of evidence he lied about his citizenship and birth certificate??
Keep in mind, the story has be debunked in every position in the Karma Sutra...

Now Georges after having read the aboved...if you still believe the nonsense being peddled then you have just about no credibility.
Yes, this does get old. Let's let it go. Until any evidence comes forward, it's time to drop it. If there was credible evidence, those who have it would bring it forward.
Besides, it only detracts to real complaints I have with the President. I don't feel the need to undermine his legitimacy to hold the office of The Preisdent to have my complaints with his decisions.
There is credible evidence and it has been brought forward time and time again that he IS A CITIZEN OF THE US.
From what I've seen ...the only things those who claim his isn't have presented is hearsay, supposition and in some cases outright lies.
The only reason this is a story is there exists people in the world who would believe the science behind humans breathing oxygen is a conspiracy if someone merely mentioned it.
You can personally attack me all you like that is fine I can take it. That's no problem I have a thick skin.
No the article does not mention racism. But if you don't think all these are attacks on Obama are not at least partly based on racism then you are blind.
Don't get me wrong and don't misunderstand my politics. I am not saying Obama is perfect, nor is any president. But there have been more distasteful protests using his image and likeness than I have ever seen of any president in the past.
There needs to be more political discourse in this country of real ideas and real conversation. All that happens anymore is the yelling, screaming, protesting and hatred where one side is blaming the other side for the their problems. Very little effort and compromise is put forth in solving real problems.
Just my :2 cents:
I meant evidence to the contrary. You read what I wrote the opposite.
No I read it in total. Solid evidence has been brought forward and presented. It's been verified by numerous objective parties and the evidence thoroughly refutes the claim.
Just because you meant evidence to the contrary doesn't mean evidence hasn't been brought forward so much so..that credible evidence to the "contrary" doesn't exist.
Doesn't matter who the president is, talking about his assassination or even wishing it, is in bad taste, just like this one:

As much as I oppose Obama, I don't wish for his assassination, nor am I just hoping for him to be impeached, I mean, I might think he's a communist or something similar to that but all I want is for him to be defeated in the next election.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
This is the most rational, lucid and unbiased political comment I have ever seen you make on this board, Spyder. This is a great example of what happens when we take off our blinders and make an honest attempt to see the big picture instead of the minuscule and myopic one we see when we cling to our partisan beliefs no matter what. It is interesting and mind-expanding and, best of all, a uniting force when we consider alternative evidence, opinions or options that might actually be reasonable and viable if we were simply willing to take the time and make the effort to consider them.
Rep to you, sir! :thumbsup:
I admit it was a bit underhanded to take a personal swipe at you, but it was for a reason. Sure Obama's attacked based on his race...hell, the day JFK was killed, there were people who posted signs saying, "Rot in hell, ******lover."
But to paint the picture that this math teacher's macabre scenario is a product of inherent racism is reactionary and unfounded. You're insisting that Obama can amount to no more than his ethnicity.

I know, 'Mega. I deliberately ignored that because I am trying to encourage him to actually think.

If you've got 3 Obama's,
and you kill 1 Obama,
How many Obama's do you have left?
C'mon, this is no biggy.
The answer is.............( 3 over 2, carry the 1, ......uh, uh) 2!, the answer is 2.
I did it!

That's what we call rock-bottom idiocy.
Yes, meetings (and a movie about them??) about whether the world would be a better place if W was assassinated? I'd like to see some links (not from FreeRepublic, with some random dude saying his brother-in-laws cousin had heard about it).
Other possible topics:
- Assuming certain rigidity in the cocks, and certain flexibility in the sphincter, how many cocks could be rammed into Glenn Beck's ass?
- How fast could Dick Cheney get going in his wheelchair if given a gentle push from the top of Capitol Hill?
- Determine probability that Ann Coulter's has male genitals considering the Adam's apple and various other anatomical angles and pitch of voice, etc.
All just entirely neutral, non-political, and appropriate problems for a matter-of-fact math class, right?
