FTFY

Are the folks who fling insults at President Obama, or members of the Congress, insulting the country or the government?

The government. Those flinging arrows, bullets and airplanes are attacking the country.

ANYONE who calls for the destruction of The U.S. is fair game for a date with The Grim Reaper.
PERIOD!!!!

I agree!

Are you making a distinction between the objects thrown, the targets, or both?

Calls for, or takes action toward?

No distinction.

Calls for, or takes action toward?

I believe either is a federal crime, one punishable by a long time with a new boyfriend and the other with a short trip on a shorter rope.

No distinction.

If there are no distinctions, then the folks who insult the President are attacking the country.

Rest assured, I won't rely upon you to defend the First Amendment.

I misunderstood the question. There is a distinction between insulting the government and / or President and doing damage to the country. As a contrived entity, you cannot damage the government. Insulting the government is fair game and protected speech.

The First Amendment is safe. Planning, plotting or conspiring to overthrow the government is not necessarily covered by First Amendment protections.

Fair enough.

The First Amendment is safe.

Unless the Supreme Court's in session.

Planning, plotting or conspiring to overthrow the government is not necessarily covered by First Amendment protections.

I guess we just have a different understanding of what "no" means. Oddly enough I think it means, well, no. I also think that saying that no means yes whenever it's convenient is bad behavior.

Interesting interview with Palin where she agrees with Ron Paul's comments about a president overstepping his bounds:
