I don't understand what I did wrong

TURLOCK -- A Turlock woman who posted inflammatory comments on Facebook about President Barack Obama has been fired from her job and reported to the U.S. Secret Service.
Turlock resident Denise Helms, 22, posted shortly after the president's re-election Tuesday on her Facebook page, "And another 4 years of the (n-----). Maybe he will get assassinated this term..!!"
The post quickly made the rounds on social media, prompting Sacramento TV station Fox 40 to interview her about her comments Wednesday night.

She told the Fox 40 reporter: "I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. … The assassination part is kind of harsh. I'm not saying like I would go do that or anything like that, by any means, but if it was to happen, I don't think I'd care one bit."
Helms has since deleted the post and posted again about the incident. It reads: "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.!!!"

​
Helms could not be reached for comment by The Bee. She told Fox 40 she wasn't aware she could be investigated by the Secret Service for her post.
"OK, but what did I do wrong? That's fine if they want to," she told the reporter. "But I don't understand what I did wrong."

Stupid or mentally challenged does seem like their core voters.

Helms graduated from Placer High School in 2008, according to her Facebook page, and has the Romney/Ryan 2012 page among her "likes." She is not listed as a registered voter in the state registry database.

She is just plain ignorant in my opinion. Whether she likes Obama or not no one should stoop to using the n word.

I'm glad we finally got our priorities straight as a nation. The N word is much more important than the A word. I too am ashamed anyone could stoop so low and use the N word!

She is free to say whatever she wants to, but, she's not free from the consequences. She threatened the POTUS. That's a crime.

She didn't actually, as far as I can tell. She opined (in an approving way) that someone might. Offensive? Yes. Threat? No. While i think she's an idiot and a bigot, i don't think she committed a crime. Am I missing something? cn

First, that is completely unrelated. What you advocate in that comment is that anytime somebody even mentions presidential assassination that they have committed a crime. Where were you on this topic in the Bush years?

http://civil-liberties.yoexpert.com/civil-liberties-general/is-it-legal-to-shout-"fire"-in-a-crowded-theater-19421.html - You can follow the line of court decisions as I just did and have found myself to lazy to post for you.

She could a Libertarian, Democrat, who knows. Nowhere in the article does it state she is a Republican. Knat says she 'seem like their core voters", then goes on to say "She is not listed as a registered voter" So he gives lie to his own statement.

See that is what is wrong with the conservative party, they are too associated with hate. Remember Romney's 47% comment (not hate but it was stupid) and the rape comments by some other old congress guy.

Maybe you guys will all be assassinated one day.

You guys should report me to the authorities for threatening your lives.

Thousands of people actually said they WERE GOING to assassinate Romney and I didn't see any threads created for those special people.

Businesses have rights and they need them including, in most states, the right to work which allows for termination of employment at will by either or both parties. Commerce! They didn't need her lame ass packing along as dead weight.

Doesn't change anything, I stand by my assessment of conservatives:
