Woman thinks there is nothing wrong with calling for Obama's assassination

With one Facebook status update on election night, a California woman went from Cold Stone Creamery employee in the forgettable town of Turlock, CA to infamous racist under investigation by the Secret Service. On her Facebook page, 22-year-old Denise Helms referred to President Barack Obama as "the nigger" and expressed hope that a second term would conclude with his assassination.

Despite losing her job as an ice cream scooper in a suburban strip mall once her racial slurs went viral on Twitter, Helms cluelessly stuck by her words. When Sacramento-based Fox 40 News came calling, she told a reporter, "I didn't think it would be that big of a deal.

In the wake of the news coverage, Helms deleted the original Facebook post, only to follow it with another update that didn't really help anything:

"So apparently my post last night about Obama got onto Twitter and Fox 40 came and interviewed me cause apparently a lot of people in Sacramento think I'm crazy and racist. WOW is all I got to say!! I'm not racist and I'm not crazy. just simply stating my opinion."

 On her Facebook page, Helms also "liked" the Romney/Ryan 2012 campaign, although that is not quite the same as actually voting for a candidate. The Modesto Bee reports that Helms does not actually appear on the state voter registry.

There is just no place for this kind of stuff in a democratic society.  Wishing death on politicians you don't agree with is not very mature and could be treason.  I've hated many politicians, even worked for some.  I respect their views even if I don't agree with them.
