It is okay to hate in your heart, but it is NOT okay to hate so much that you risk innocent lives. This is what that continuous low-level drum beat of hate of Obama produces:

No Contest Plea In Obama Tattoo Firebombing
February 4, 2010
SALINAS, Calif. -- A man suspected of firebombing a Monterey tattoo parlor after it refused to ink an offensive tattoo targeting President Barack Obama on his chest has pleaded no contest to arson charges.
According to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office, Nathan Augustine, 35, was arrested for the arson in October 2009.
Deputy District Attorney Douglas Matheson said Augustine had confessed to throwing a Molotov cocktail at Creative Visions, a tattoo parlor in Monterey, on July 13. He was also charged with and confessed to torching the Lattitudes restaurant in Pacific Grove on July 15th after he was turned down on a job application.
At the scene of the Monterey fire, investigators found vodka bottles converted into incendiary devices bearing the words "Russian Standard," a swastika, and a symbol similar to the British Union Jack with added diagonal lines through it in red ink handwriting.
Matheson said Augustine had visited Creative Visions and asked for a tattoo of a swastika and an image of President Obama overlaid with crosshairs.
"They refused to give it to him and he caused a little disturbance and left," he said.
Matheson said the arson cases began to crack open after Augustine was arrested in connection with a vandalism spree in Monterey. Between January and April 2009, a number of swastikas were painted around the city, along with the phrases "kill Obama" and "death to Obama."
A search of Augustine's home yielded numerous containers of lighter fluid, gloves similar to those found at Lattitudes and the symbol similar to the Union Jack with the added diagonal lines.
Augustine faces seven years in prison when he is sentenced March 12.>>>

Context, as always, places this in a different light:

Again, please show me where I suggested rounding up. Really disturbing how many of you have twisted what I have said and keep rolling with it. Unbelievable.
Because I said: "I am anxiously wondering how the liberals on these boards propose "rounding up" the illegals and deporting them."
It was twisted into that somehow I support rounding up illegals and I propose it. I have never once said that. Disgusting how MY context is twisted to suit everyone on this board.
Really pathetic!
Maybe the disconnect is that the "liberals" on the board never actually proposed "rounding up" illegals in the first place. Maybe they weren't interested in "rounding up" as a viable solution to the problem.
In defense of the sheriff in Arizona, the term "round up" was first used in post #16650.116
"Sheriff Joe goes after companies that hire illegal workers. And yes, some of those workers are here legally, some are not. They all get rounded up and sorted out. That's just the way it is. Do people honestly expect him to not go after these companies because there is a chance that some workers could be legal and they might get their feelings hurt if they are detained briefly?"
From that point on "round up" was used to describe the behavior of profiling people and detaining them to determine their immigration status.

You're just refusing to accept anything other than your own viewpoint.
Do you have a driver's license? If so, then you have a form of identification.
<<>>
That's the WHOLE point. They wouldn't have it. Legal Americans would.
Oh, thanks for explaining it to me.
Because I explained what was happening, that somehow is perfectly fair game to twist and say that I support rounding up of all brown skinned people to see who is hear legally.
Okay. I see how the game is played now.
See, once again you refuse to even open one eye to an opinion other than your own.

Do law enforcement officials snatch YOU off the street and demand ID?
((Your idea is to round them all up like cattle, put them on a train and ship them back across the border.))
Oh thanks again for putting words in my mouth and telling me what me idea is.
Can you please show me where I EVER said that?
I am probably the ONLY one on these boards that has been to parts of Mexico that make south central LA look like paradise. I completely understand why they come here....I am sure I understand better than any of you.
((If they are unable to get work and take advantage of the system here because they are positively identified as not belonging here due to lack of proper ID, then they'll have no reason to come or stay.))
Clearly, from this statement, you have no idea how things work.
