Title: Minnesota man pleads guilty to threatening Obama
Post by: Johnny Bravo on July 01, 2010, 10:34:19 AM
ST. PAUL (AP) — A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to threatening to kill President Obama and his family.

The U.S. Attorney's office says 35-year-old Chane Phillip Christenson of St. Paul pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of making a threat to take the life of the president.

Christenson was indicted in April. That indictment initially was filed under seal.

In his plea agreement, Christenson admitted that on Jan. 6 he sent an e-mail to the White House website stating that he intended to kill the president, first lady Michelle Obama and their two children. Christenson also admitted that he previously sent a similar e-mail to the White House.

Christenson faces up to five years in prison when sentenced.

That is not the relevant part.
This is, " Christenson also admitted that he previously sent a similar e-mail to the White House."

I'm curious to know when that was.
Remember how Obummer as the Joker was Racist, but Bush as the Joker, or Hitler was "art"?

I was being facetious....implying that only the children part of the threat was objectionable....

but yes, I wondered when the email to the White House mentioned had occured.
