Since when is an open challenge or hope for a competitor considered a threat?

A Minnesota chiropractor and rising mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter says he was questioned by the Secret Service after declaring that he wanted to face President Obama in his next bout, MyFoxTwinCities.com reported Thursday.

Jacob Volkmann told MMAFighting.com he wanted to take on Obama because of his position on health care policy -- and his challenge was not taken lightly.

He says he was coaching a youth practice on Tuesday when a police officer and Secret Service agent questioned him about threatening the president.

An open response in an interview following a victory about your dreams for a future bout, and you get visited by the Secret Service due to a threat on the safety of the President  

I started this as a new thread rather than drift the thread on the Arizona shooting, but you know that that event and the spin on free speech that is taking place will lead us to more of the Minnesota response.

Note:  This made the airwaves (I heard it on the radio Friday), but it did not make the newspapers up here

" I want a chance to give Obummer a good beating" is a threat ?
Considering how many times I've said I'd like to see him and his cronies hung, I guess I know what all those clicks and buzzes on my phone are about.
I'd still like to see them tried, convicted and hung, shot, gassed, electrocuted,  injected or even beheaded like Anne Bolyn.
I'm not real picky about method, it's all about result.

"Tom who? Oh, yeah, I've heard rumors about that guy. Isn't he the evil computer genius that gets off on sending subversive postings under other people's names? I'd thought they'd caught him for identity theft awhile back".

If that were true most of my political rants would be posted under your name

He'll most likely also be audited by the IRS.....(old Nixon trick),.....either way, Chicago methods are in use......Somehow, Hugo Chavez, does the same thing....

Funny, When Uncle Assam, criticized Saddam Hussein, back in Iraq, Uncle Assam was taken at 3:15 a.m. and never came home.

Seems some jack booted thugs in the SS, did the same thing,.......It of course hasn't come to that,....."yet"........

Under the heading of unfortunate circumstances you do know that this guy will end up all over the "hate" ads tied to what happened in Arizona.  This is just the type of everyday normal talk that the media has been blasting and the proposed legislation will flag.  It has happened everywhere else in society, and now it is going to send its roots deeper.
