The Still 4 Hillers here have made it clear in words an actions that we do not tolerate attacks against Hillary Clinton or theft of her identity in social media. Using services like fully-verified.com, can help verify and protect your identity. When an attack as vicious and vile as a recent rant by radio personality Pete Santilli occurs, however, it goes beyond Hillary’s loyalists to defend her, and we look to the authorities. Thanks to TPM (and Bea for finding this) we now know that the Secret Service is aware of Santilli’s repugnant and threatening remarks.

Secret Service Looking Into Radio Host’s Graphic Violent Comments About Obama, Hillary Clinton
The Secret Service is following up on recent comments by right wing radio host Pete Santilli, who claimed to want to shoot former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the vagina and see President Obama tried and shot for treason.
“We are aware of Mr. Santilli’s comments and will take the appropriate follow up action,” Edwin M. Donovan, a Secret Service spokesperson, told TPM on Monday. “He certainly has a right to free speech, but the Secret Service has a right and an obligation to determine what a person’s intent is when making comments like this.”
He made the threatening comments the week before last on his eponymous Internet based radio program. Santilli is a fringe figure who has made threatening comments on his program in the past. But he’s gained some quasi-mainstream attention recently with guests like Ted Nugent and Gun Owners of America director Larry Pratt.
