   Florida Republican and hopeful-state-House-Rep. Joshua Black’s   
   social media presence is chock full of tea party-style   
   criticisms of President Obama, but the language used in a tweet   
   on Martin Luther King Jr. Day has taken that rhetoric to a whole   
   new level.   
      
   “I’m past impeachment,” Joshua Black, who is also African   
   American, tweeted on Monday. “It’s time to arrest and hang him   
   high.”   
      
   Shortly thereafter, a fellow Republican candidate hopped into   
   the mix to call Black out for his language.   
      
   That began a back-and-forth that eventually led Black to take to   
   his Facebook page to explain exactly why he thought President   
   Obama deserved to be hanged for traitorous activities.   
      
   “To everyone who was offended that I said that the POTUS should   
   be hanged for treason, this is the man who droned Al-Awaki [sic]   
   on ‘suspicion of terrorism’–not proof–and later killed his 15-   
   year-old son for nothing more than being his son,” Black wrote,   
   also alleging Obama sought to have both Bradley Manning and Eric   
   [sic] Snowden “executed for treason when they didn’t kill   
   anyone.”   
      
   “I make no apologies for saying that the President is not above   
   the People,” he added in his post. “If ordinary Americans should   
   be executed for treason, so should he.”   
      
   “So, don’t stop at impeachment,” he continued. “Remove him. Try   
   him before a jury (the very right that he arbitrarily denied to   
   al-Awaki and his 15-year-old son), and, upon his sure   
   convictions, execute him.”   
      
   The chairman of the local Republican party told theTampa Bay   
   Times that Black doesn’t know what he’s talking about in regards   
   to the drone strike and that his rhetoric is out of line.   
      
   “It is impossible to accept this statement,” Pinellas GOP   
   Chairman Michael Guju said. “This is wholly unacceptable and   
   unduly provocative.”   
      
   Republican Gov. Rick Scott weighed in on the comments as well,   
   according to AP reporter Gary Fineout, who tweeted Tuesday   
   afternoon that Scott called them “outrageous.”   
      
   Black’s opponent in the House race, Democratic state Rep. Dwight   
   Dudley, echoed the outrage, saying he was “stunned” and that   
   Black should be able to disagree with Obama without calling for   
   him to be hanged. “It’s dangerous and unbecoming for someone who   
   wants to lead to call for such violence and extremist action,”   
   he told the Times.   
      
   Latvala continued bashing Black’s rhetoric and extremism on   
   Monday.

   Fuck Obama.  Arrest him, give him a fair trial and hang him in   
   the morning.
