Jules Manson, Failed Tea Party Candidate, Calls For Assassination Of Obama, First Daughters

Jules Manson Obama

Jules Manson, a failed Tea Party candidate for local office in California, recently called for the assassination of President Obama and his daughters in a racial epithet-ridden Facebook screed.

The post, originally about his opposition to the recent passage of the controversial National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a measure allowing the indefinite detention of suspected foreign terrorists, referred to the president as a "monkey." Then it got much worse.

"Assassinate the f----- n----- and his monkey children," Manson commented on his own post, according to a screen shot uploaded by Facebook group "Americans Against the Tea Party" and relayed by Your Black Politics blog.

The post has since been scrubbed from his Facebook profile, replaced with an explanation that the comments were "careless, emotionally driven remarks that had no real substance."

Manson, an avid Ron Paul supporter and libertarian, also writes that he has since been visited by the Secret Service, with whom he says he cooperated fully as he "was hiding nothing."

According to the New York Daily News, Manson, who lost his 2011 bid for a City Council seat in Carson, Calif. with only 4 percent of the vote, has also posted pictures of Obama dressed as Hitler from his Facebook account.

In a post listed since the latest flare-up, Manson derisively announces a 2012 run for California's 28th State Senate district as a Democrat.

"I intend on representing the Democratic Party with due dignity, and loyalty for my campaign contributors which will happen to be public-sector labor unions and other collective bargaining institutions that help keep the poor man down and dependent on government," he writes. "I will also strongly advocate for the raising of taxes to meet the growing unsustainable demand for pensions and compensation packages for state workers despite California being the second highest taxed state in the union."

The Daily News reports that it was unable to reach Manson at the phone number listed for his residence in a Carson trailer park.

The man should be locked up where Hinckley is and at the very least for extended psychological observation before he really goes off the deep end. This is not "Free Speech" in my view when a person threatens the life of the President and his family-either Directly or Indirectly!

I think he should be arrested. We are all Americans and our President was duly elected by the people for a second term. The Obama's are a warm and wonderful family and I am proud to have them as our First Family. Republicans and Tea Baggers are sick and evil people.

This Article Is About Me

I did not mean the eight little words which were uttered into a facebook post for the president and certainly not for his daughters. I was simply passionately enraged over his support for the NDAA of 2012. This reigns in marshal law, a more restricted police state, and indefinite detention of regular citizens. This should have been at the forefront of this story.

My question to all you good people is why were you not more outraged over our trusted elected officers who betrayed your trust in such a way as to put everyone you know (including all your loved ones) in peril by a rogue government which has grown to overwhelm us with weighing Draconian public policies?

Moreover, my words were said in anger and did not reflect my true sentiments about race. Not conforming to the politically correct standards of society does not define a racist. I do not believe that I am better than or more deserving than other people not of my ethnic makeup. A racist is a person who prefers not to associate with people of other races because they view them as inferior or as a problem to society. This is not me.

First, take responsibility. Second, you must be related to Charlie.

According to the story, you have your own fantasy land to play in now. Don't let the door.....

Sounds to me like the rantings of another Manson...Charles Manson..Just the thought that he would include Obama's two girls makes me think that this guy has more than just a few screws loose. Thats abominable and scary. I'd be afraid to live next door to any man that advocated the killing of children...Nasty man. I think he should be locked in a psych ward and questioned down big time about the killing of innocents thing.. Sounds like something Hitler would say and he put Obama in that catagory??? You folks need to think about the Republican Party anymore..They aren't your grandfather's party, and they have an agenda that is pretty evil as of late.. This is just 1 instance in many...Just Sayin'

You conveniently leave out one little detail. I have never harmed a single soul in my entire life and I do not believe that I ever will. The president on the other hand has perpetuated the wars in Iraq (now winding down but troops are still present there) and Afghanistan which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths of civilians ranging in age from from grown men protecting their soil from foreign invasion, innocent women trying to raise their children, to infant babies who have no culpability and whose deaths are categorized as "collateral damage."

The president you defend is a mass murderer and there is no denying it..

More BS, don't blame the president for W's wars. Guys like you are the first hollering when we want to bring troops home.

We only have your word that you haven't harmed anyone. And I for one wouldn't trust your word. But you called for others to do your dirty work, and that says a lot about you.

If given the chance you would be much worse that those you seek to condemn.

In no way should those words of hate be construed as Free Speech. I am not a supporter of Obama but I am a parent and find the words uttered about the First Family horrific and totally uncalled for.

At the very least...slander and libel, and at the other end of the spectrum...stated threats that should have that insane guy investigated down to the fillings in his teeth. Is he one of the infamous Mansons?

And the Secret Service did what with this individual? The Obama Family have to live in fear because of the crazies out there?

Its strange here, most of the tea party are social securityreciepant s and are medicare and are cusing the govt. Yet they massage the public teat for all they can and cuss others. Another strange thing is they complain ablut the cost of everything but buy a new gun on every other social security check, their lady friends can even get them in pink now and talk ablut the coming armeddegen.

i guess whoever you had read the article to you missed the opening few words of the article, quote " jules manson, a failed TEA PARTY candidate for local office from california...

now given that, give me the names of only six [6] tea baggers who could be even remotely be considered liberal.

pretty weak attempt at a smear, bagger.

lol what a spook job, he is a political shill , a pawn, a piece that is expendable, and thus was paid probably very well for his radical comments, anyone else would have been arrested and tried by a jury.

He was a plant to help the Democrat win in California and he is trying to discredit the tea party now. Wont work Libs

In denial much CharRenee0O? What a desperate attempt to take the spotlight off of the real problem. This guy is an elected official and should be held accountable for the racist threats no matter what group he identifies with. You have no proof to your assertion and your projection is obvious. It won't work CharRenee0O.

In denial much CharRenee0O? Your projection is obvious and disturbing. Your attempt to take the spotlight off the obvious racism displayed by this elected official is not going to work either. I don't care what group he is with, he doesn't represent the whole group. But for you to speculate with your unfounded charges, is typical of a Tea Partier.
10:50 AM on 01/13/2012
This is prob a plant for the Obamas this man was a plant to split the votes during election to help a Democrat win and now he is doing it again to discreditit the tea party. this is what Liberals do and People are seeing right through it.
12:11 AM on 01/18/2012
Manson already admitted to it. The Tea Party has already discredited themselves with their hypocritical behavior. They pretend they are a grass roots group when the reality is they have been financed by the Koch brothers from day one. Where is your proof that Manson was a plant by the Democratic party? If you have none, then you need to retract your statement as it's a lie.

The Truth Is Finally Revealed.

That Tea Party, the gift that keeps on giving. That ill formed army, was the worst thing that ever happened to the Republican Party. Mr. Manson was only being truthful, as to why the Tea Party was created in the first place. Their very well funded mission, was to commit a Democratic Presidents Assassination, occasionally used as a last resort. The target, in their fear filled eyes and ice cold hearts, was President Obama. It was the most brutal and relentless, character assassination attempts, in history. They declared he was an unreasonable leader that could not be trusted, who was born on Muslim soil, and raised as one. So many others like Manson declared him a possible terrorist, rather than an American born Christian. The biggest concern that the Tea Party had with Obama was finally brought to light, with Mr. Manson's heart felt statements. I believe the record will show, that most of the Republican candidates, did support the Tea Party's beliefs at some point. Until they were found out to be, The President Obama, Character Assassination Machine, that failed the Republicans miserably!

Even if he was a member of the tea party (which he is not and in fact "spoke derisively of the tea party"), to associate Jules Manson to the Tea Party is not relevant to his racist rantings, which should not reflect on the Tea Party, atheists, Ron Paul supporters, baby boomers, trailer park dwellers, Mexicans or any other group. He alone is accountable for his statements.

There is an irony in condemning racism on one hand, while generalizing and stereotyping the Tea Party members, Republicans, Occupy Wall Street members or any other group on the other hand.

There is no proof that Mr. Manson was a Tea Party activist to begin with, yet proof exists that he is not. In light of this, the association should be removed.
01:01 AM on 01/12/2012
By the way, Manson was not born on US soil either, he is a Mexican. He is also an atheist. So sad that
