Woman investigated by SS for facebook speculation re; Obama assassination (http://www.inquisitr.com/393726/facebook-obama-slur-gets-woman-investigated-by-secret-service/)
A Facebook Obama slur got a woman fired for speculating that “maybe he will get assassinated” to her friends.
The woman, 22-year-old Denise Helms, used a racial slur in a Facebook post to describe President Obama. She didn’t count on her status going viral, prompting an investigation from the Secret Service about whether her remark was really a threat, the Los Angeles Times reported.
So the bar is lowered for threatening the president. The Secret Service will not only investigate you when you threaten the president, they will now investigate you to see "whether" your remarks are a threat.
1A intimidation by the government, plain and simple.

She should have created a movie about Obama being assassinated then all would be fine, they didn't go after the makers of the Bush assassination flick, and it's not like they arrest filmmakers they don't agree with yet...oh...wait...OK, scratch that last part.

All that I have to say about this is...
"The chair is against the wall. Repeat: The chair is against the wall"

"John has a long mustache"

What the hell are you guys talking about?

This style of codeword/phrase system was used in Europe during WW2 to send instructions to operatives behind enemy lines. The Chair is Against the Wall could mean that a set of railway tracks must be blown up or a supply drop was en route to a group of operatives.
"John has a long mustache" is a direct reference to the Allied code phrase for Operation Overlord, the Normandy Invasion (D-Day, WW2). The signal, like many others, was sent over normal radio broadcasts; each codeword/phrase meant something to a specific group or individual listening in Nazi occupied territory. This specific code phrase was the signal to the French Resistance (the Maquis) that the invasion would begin the next day. To them, this meant that need to execute pre-arranged sabotage and other preparations as planned before the landings on the French coast.
The whole sequence is an homage to the movie "The Longest Day", in which French Resistance members are listening to the radio, and hear a sequence of the normally meaningless (to them) phrases, until they hear "John has a long mustache" repeated twice, and set in motion the pre-invasion plans. The Germans also realize the invasion is about to begin, but due to Allied deceptions, the Nazis are still unsure as to the landing site.
In "The Longest Day", the sequence was "Molasses tomorrow will bring forth cognac", then "John has a long mustache".

I vaguely remember hearing about some of that long ago, but it didn't click, inasmuch as I don't believe I ever saw "The Longest Day" either, sooooo ....
Thanks, Magnum, for the education.
Carry on. ::unknowncomic::

What the hell are you guys talking about?
Magnum explained it better (more thoroughly) than I could....when you find yourself behind enemy lines you revert to code-speak to communicate. I now consider myself behind enemy lines.
Capice?
