LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Kentucky man has been arrested and charged with posting a poem threatening President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on a white supremacist Web site.

The U.S. Secret Service said Johnny Logan Spencer Jr. of Louisville wrote and posted the poem, titled “The Sniper,” on a site called NewSaxon.org.

Special Agent Stephan M. Pazenzia (PAH-zen-zee-ah) said the poem describes a gunman shooting and killing a “tyrant,” later identified as the president.

Spencer is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dave Whalin on Friday for a detention hearing. He’s in federal custody charged with making threats against the president and threatening to kill or injure a major candidate for the office of the president.

    I wouldn’t go as far as calling President Obama a soft jelly fish of a president, but then again maybe some people love war and killing happy presidents. Also, I will say that there is such a thing as freedom of speech, but I think this fella went a little too far with his ranting disguised as a poem.

    @MrWantSomeNewBooty, Yes there is such a thing as freedom of speech but there is also a law that states that a citizen can be arrested and tried for treason if during a time of war they make unpatriotic remarks about the President, Government or Nation. It is not really enforced though. But this is only during a time of war. I am trying to look up the actual peice of legislation which doc**ents this. It does exist.

    U cant joke about that type of thing when there has been presidental assasinations numerous times and attemps in the past, there is ALWAYS a little bit of truth in every joke so me personally dont think its cool regardless of which president its about.

    @CaliFemme23 soft that’s funny he11 Faux news tries to call him a dictaor at times. When I read on this site it’s funny what they said about the Iraq war. You mean to tell me these white supremacist disagree with Bush on this war?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/panamaniak/ panamaniak

    This sounds about right. These people who claim to be these “Nordic Aryan” warriors are all KKKowards. They have been preaching RaHoWa for DECADES! The only time they ever come with it is when THEY are the MAJORITY in places like the Pacific Northwest. Places like Oregon and Washington state. Or Iowa and Idaho. Ever wonder why they don’t go to L.A.,Chitown,Philly,Miami,or my spot Mighty NYC? Hmmmm…I wonder why?

    Mannnn white folks does this to themselves. They are so ignorant when are they going to get off this racist crap its 2010 their will never be slaves allowed again. Its time to get something else to hate about people can’t choose the color of their skin we are who we are and whites wonder why they don’t get any respect. Grow up.

    I read these pages often and rarely see any objectivity just blind loyalty to one particular race. After hundreds of years of subpar living you would think we, above everyone else in America, could at the very least be objective. But we are not or most of you are not. I will be blasted for posting the truth, I can live with that. I know how we are expected to march in lock step with each other without differing opinions. I will not live that way. I am black and proud of it but I know we’re lacking in so many areas it is unreal. Will those of you who think anything said about or against Barak Obama means jail time please explain to me why NO DARN BODY on the left went to jail for saying Bush should be shot. Clinton was threatened and very few, if any, people were arrested. Everyday Bush was threatened and they didn’t see the need to arrest people, why? If you can stand it check this out: http://www.binscorner.com/pages/d/death-threats-against-bush-at-protests-i.html

    Come back and say what should have happened to all these people? If you dare! They made a movie about assassinating the president when Bush was president and made promotional with the real Bush in them. Why is it right to arrest anyone who says anything against Barak but not George. Now for those of you who can’t think for yourselves let me do it for you. Here’s what I did not say, “They should not be arrested for threatening Obama!” I didn’t say that. I am saying “Why didn’t you feel the say way about Bush, the law was the same then?” And why were all these people arrested? I eagerly await your reply!

    I should have said and why were all these people not arrested in the last part of my post.

    @ RobNclt are you sure you are black and proud? When any legitimate threats were made against Bush they were investigated, and they were not threats made by people who subscribed to hate sites. Any threat against the President is looked upon by the Federal government the ones we hear about are the ones that could have been an actual threat. Black or White, all the freedom of speech you like, you threaten the Presidents life you not only probably have some mental issues U need looked @ immediately, but you’re also retarded…are you the child of incest???lol @CaliFemme23 just because the President of the United States is not handling business as you see fit doesn’t make him weak @ all,if you could have done a better job I’m sure you would have chosen Politics as a career. He loves his family, he loves his people and he’s doing the best job he can, with all the opposition, which you obviously have no idea of, that he faces on a daily basis…don’t sound like no jellyfish to me.

    MAN SOME PEOPLE JUST NEED SOME KIND OF ATTENTION OR MEDICAL HELP, IF HE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH OBAMA, THAN GO AND DO WHAT OBAMA DID, TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT YOU WANT TO SEE, FOOL.

    You know the sad part of all of this is we have freedoms as Americans to speak as we feel “right or wrong”. And anyone can threaten the lives of any of us over the phone, via text, myspace, mocospace, any of them and the local police say it is not a crime. I was held victim to a Indian decent man (no American Indian) on Monday morning in my office for a half hr. Having to use physical force to protect myself which by any state law is kidnapping and the local Tempe AZ Police department tell me there is nothing they can do, But someone enacts their rights of Freedom of Speech and they are arrested and indicted…. I have nothing against Obama, as a matter of fact I believe what he has done for us so far has shown to be somewhat beneficial. So I don’t agree with the physical threats made to him or on his life, but I also don’t agree with the fact that it is a pick and choose for the local, state and federal govt on who pays for the crimes and who doesn’t. I was kidnapped and Obama was threaten my guy walks and Obama’s gets FEDERAL PRISON time. WTF has this world come too.

    @RobNcit. Charles Madrid. Was in fact arrested in 2008 for threatening to kill George W. Bush. Since you are EARGERLY awaiting a reply. I am curious to hear your own reply to this DOC**ENTED FACT. I have found that many people, particularly black folks who need to produce a “NOBODY WENT TO JAIL FOR THREATENIN’ MASSA” argument, even when there is CLEAR evidence to the contrary, seem to ALWAYS seek validation through some sort of revisionist account of history that ALWAYS vindicates their hero (in this case, George W. Bush would be your hero) I suspect, although your position was that “NO DARN BODY” on the left went to jail for threatening George Bush’s life (or by extension was arrested) you will make the follow-up argument that- oh, but how do we know he was from the left, or some foolishness such as that. Your reponse, rather than saying, “I was mistaken” is EAGERLY awaited by me to hear you make my point, and that is – you live in a day and time in current history whereby you have become AFRAID to tell or speak the truth. Please do respond.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/synotic/ synotic

    yes there is something called freedom of speech but you cannot say those types of things. saying your going to kill or lets go kill anyone in public is good enough for the police to arrest u

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/synotic/ synotic

    and to tell you the truth the KKK are terrorists,

    1. They want to over throw the government.
    2. They terrorize American Citizens.
    3. They promote hate.
    4. They promote things that are not valuable to the human race.
