Ky. Man Indicted For Alleged Presidential Threat

KENTUCKY....
Twenty-seven year old Johnny Logan Spencer Jr.of Louisville is scheduled for arraignment on Friday after being indicted on a charge of making a threat to kill President Barack Obama. Officials say he posted a poem containing the language "DIE negro DIE" on a white supremacist Web site in August 2007. However, it failed to come to the attention of federal authorities until after Obama's election in 2008, and officials didn't learn Spencer's identity until last month. Spencer argues the poem is protected by the First Amendment, but a federal magistrate judge ruled last month that he could be prosecuted.
