BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.
– A Kentucky man has been charged with posting a poem threatening President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on a white supremacist Web site.
U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Stephan M. Pazenzia said Johnny Logan Spencer Jr., 27, of Louisville wrote and posted the poem, titled “The Sniper,” on a page called NewSaxon.org
. The site is described as an “Online Community for Whites by Whites.” The poem was posted in August 2007, according to an arrest affidavit.U.S. Magistrate Judge Dave Whalin on Friday ordered Spencer released on $25,000 bond, but kept under house arrest at a family member’s home. He’s charged with making threats against the president and threatening to kill or injure a major candidate for the office of the president.
The poem describes a gunman shooting and killing a “tyrant” later identified as the president, setting off panic in the wake of the fatal shot being fired.
THE SNIPER
As the tyrant enters his cross hairs the breath he takes is deep
His focus is square on the target as he begins to release
A patriot for his people he knows this shot will cost his life
But for his race and their existence it is a small sacrifice
The bullet that he has chambered is one of the purest pride
And the inscription on the casing reads DIE negro DIE
He breathes out as he pulls the trigger releasing all his hate
And a smile appears upon his face as he seals that monkeys fate
The bullet screams toward its mark bringing with it death
And where there was once a face there is nothing left
Two blood covered agents stare in horror and dismay
Looking down toward the ground where their president now lay
Now the screams of one old negro broad pierces thru the air
Setting off panic from every eyewitness that was there
And among all the confusion the hero calmly slips away
Laughing for he knows there will be another negro holiday

Spencer used the online moniker “Pain1488,” a reference to a phrase used by white nationalists as well as an homage to Adolf Hitler.As the tyrant enters his cross hairs the breath he takes is deep

Assistant U.S. Attorney Phillip Chance told Whalin that, even though investigators linked no weapons to Spencer, the poem doesn’t qualify as protected political speech.
“This is a threat by an individual against an individual simply because of who he is,” Chance said. “He is the president and he is black.”
Federal public defender Laura Wyrosdick said no one took action to harm Obama in the two years the poem has been publicly available.
The Secret Service became aware of the poem just after the 2008 election that made Obama the first black president in the country’s history. An arrest affidavit says the Secret Service identified Spencer as the author, but never tracked him down and only referenced the writing in a report on the white supremacist National Socialist movement.
The affidavit does not say why the Secret Service made no effort to arrest Spencer for more than 15 months. The investigation didn’t start until a week ago, when an informant faxed a copy of the writings to the FBI, Pazenzia said.More from Source
