This Woman Lost Her Job Over a Facebook Post — And You Won’t Believe What She Said About Obama
An outrageous Facebook post, calling President Barack Obama “the n***er” and referencing his assassination, has cost a California women her job and reputation after the disgusting message went viral.
Denise Helms, of Turlock, Calif., reportedly set the post to “private” on her Facebook page, but someone snapped an image and put it on Twitter.
(FOX40)
The message got the attention of the Secret Service and her employer, Cold Stone Creamery. She was promptly fired and the company spent much of Thursday responding to angry tweets about the woman’s post,” FOX40 reports.
βThis employee is no longer w/the (sic) company & her disgraceful and completely unacceptable comments do not reflect our views,β the company tweeted via its official Twitter account.
Helms had deleted her post and deactivated her Facebook account, but the damage was done.

What may be even more disturbing than her post, is the fact that she initially didn’t appear to be remorseful at all.
“I don’t understand what I did wrong,” she told FOX40.
However, she later admitted that what she said was “wrong.” Helms also argued that she is not a racist and said she doesn’t really want Obama to be assassinated because, after all,Β he “does have two kids.”
βI think I was just really upset, and (the post) just kind of came out,β Helms said.

It is not the right of someone in the position that Howerton is in to state that someone deserved to be fired anymore than the MSM had the right to back the Shrunken Head for president. Journalism is supposed to put the story out there in a fair and balanced way and let the viewer decide. This isn’t really journalism but it is close enough in my book.

The title of the article was originally: “this-woman-lost-her-job-over-a-facebook-post-and-she-deserved-it.” It’s still the hyperlink title. That’s what @Not a crazy is saying.
I agree; for a “journalist” to use that kind of title is ridiculous. We might agree that she deserved to be fired, but if you’re reporting “news” you don’t put your opinion into the article.
Now, as a commenter, I completely agree with the company in letting her go. The woman’s words reflect on her employer, and an employer has every right to fire an employee who might get them negative feedback. No breach of freedom of speech here; the business was well within their rights to fire her.

She deserved to be fired? What about free speech? The same was said and is still being said about Bush, but no one seems “sensitive” about that? While I think the post was in bad taste, she has a right to say it on her own time. Do you think the people who are making threats on HER life should be fired from THEIR jobs, too? If they weren’t such cowards as to hide behind a blocked caller ID, maybe they would, too. You can bet the same thing would have been repeated over and over if Romney had won, and would have been ignored by the MSM.
Maybe she has a case for free speech, maybe she doesn’t, it depends upon which activist judge she winds up in front of. It’s California, so the bets are off that she will get anywhere.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 6:16pmFirst allow me to say that I do not agree with using the n-word however unless this woman was AT WORK when she posted this remark OR if in her remark she referenced her employer, her employer has no right to fire her, Her right to free speech is cannot be infringed upon by her employer unless her employer is implicated as stated above. As far as he hoping that somebody, anybody be assasinated I can relate HOWEVER the definition of HOPE and the deffinition of THREAT are nowhere near the same therefore the SS has authority over her speech.

You’re right but you literally have top juxtapose what they said & what you said. Otherwise they will conveniently forget what they said. Also you have to have similar job descriptions or they will still say one is good or permissible (theirs) while yours is not.
We have to ignore the MSM & starve it of finance faster. We have to grow an alternative media & court the minority vote without compromising principles.
Hispanic Americans are not open borders. Easy test is to see if they would like 50 million Chinese to come over here. With China close to getting rid of the 1 child policy & the wage differential having 50 million Chinese here is not out of the question with open borders.
Mexican labor is multiples more expensive than Chinese labor. Chinese would come here & work for less than Mexicans. There would also be a fair share of Chinese that would go on the dole& thereby breaking the Democrat conceived system. I do not think the Hispanics want open borders.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 7:04pmActually, the Employer does have the right to fire her if this was part of their Policy and Employment Agreement that most Employee’s have to sign upon being hired. I worked for over 30 years working in the Healthcare Field and I have had to sign Conduct Policy’s when I first started a job. Your conduct outside of your job is just as important as it is at work and a persons conduct can reflect badly on the Employer.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 7:06pmPretty darned stupid. I don’t feel sorry for her. First, you cannot make threats (or even discuss them) concerning the President, no matter how much you may hate the man. Second, you use a term that instantly justifies the left’s false opinion that all conservatives are racists. If this lady is a conservative, she just did about the stupidest thing she could do. Conservatives work to hold the high ground, not lower ourselves to the level of the left who have no values, no morals, & are in it for themselves.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 7:11pmThis is pathetic.

This employer jumped to political correctness and this has to stop. And the author of this post needs to get a grip…someone else stated it perfectly, they inserted their opinion. Either we believe in free speech or we don’t. It’s not “well, but when someone says….”, no. Free speech is not defined by whether it may offend or not.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 7:18pmAs someone who has been interrogated by the FBI for vaguely telling someone over the internet information that they could easily get themselves from the government when someone that I barely know made a threat on the President, I have to say that we are headed down a slippery slope towards totalitarianism.
Freedom of Speech only applies when the liberals are doing it. Bill Ayres can bomb a police station and the Pentagon and walk away scot free, but don’t threaten a liberal or you could go to jail. Wanna bet that if an employer had fired an employee for threatening Bush, there would’ve been a line of lawyers waiting to file the wrongful termination lawsuits?

Personally, I’d never wish anyone be assassinated (out loud) but I’ve thought it privately and always have to ask God to forgive me for even having such thoughts, but again, I’ve read and heard this about Bush too many times, and it was said way too often by those who get attention from the press and I don’t remember anyone making a deal out of it. What’s the difference? There’s NONE.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 9:49pmYou and I do not have free speech anymore, and saying what she did, does not look like she was threatening the president. I and others have had discussions where we have said similar comments to each other, but without intent. I did not see intent in her message, and no matter what you or I think about people that are racist, I do not believe there is an actual law that says you can’t be racist, but you cannot take your racism to harming someone because of your racist views. What ever happened to the part of law that says there has to be intent for an actual crime to have taken place? This is what starts to happen when you let the Constitution go on the back burner of your minds. In 2016, we should demand that a candidate is chosen that will fight to restore our Constitution back to what it was before the Civil War!

Young people will never understand our feelings about the MURDER of the President of the United States of America you will never understand just how painful an event it was. God protect and keep our President healthy. Having said that I cannot wait for 2O16 and Obama can spend the rest of his life becoming a billionaire, and a good conservative will be in the White House.

“She deserved to be fired?”
I didn’t say that. I said I can completely understand why a private company would fire an employee whose behavior would negatively impact sales. It wasn’t my choice to let her go… but I’m not going to fault a business for making a decision.
“What about free speech?”
What about it? The right to free speech means you can’t be imprisoned or arrested for stating your opinion – it protects you from the government, not your employer. It doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want and not expect consequences.
Man up. I expect liberals to cry like sissies over paying for the consequences of their actions. I’d like to think we conservatives are better than that.

So I cut/pasted the remark but switched out Obama with Glen Beck. Yup, no free speech for me. It was removed. I was suspended but the original reply stayed. The only sign of my post was people crying that the police should investigate me, someone should kill me, (How rude), and a bunch of brave internet warriors who threatened to expose my I.D. here on the Blaze.

The fact is, even if her statement was tasteless, she has every right to say what she wants. She, and all of us, though must take responsibility for our actions and words. But to be fired, and then lambasted by the press and a bunch of ignorant un-American idiots, is ridiculous!!
Hey, what about your hero Louis Farrakhan? Why is he NOT “fired” and lambasted in the press? Is it because he’s black? Is it because he’s a “minister” (yeah, right!), or is it because YOU and your little useful IDIOTS adore such a racist and evil person? He has called for the murder of Whites. He has called us “crackers”, “evil”, and has promoted the rioting of his kind (meaning ******** and racists) against Romney if he won, and the list just goes on and on!!

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 1:17pmSo she called Obama a name. Big effing deal. Many, if not most, of us here have called him worse. (I make no apologies for routinely referring to him as a POS.) She said “maybe he’ll get assassinated this term,,,” Although that can be interpreted as wishful thinking, it falls far short of being a threat. It could simply address a possibility, and I doubt if anybody here would deny that possibility.
Compare what she said, and the response to it, with the “crickets chirping” response to the hundreds of direct and explicit tweets by people stating that they would assassinate Romney if he was elected.

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 7:07pmAmerican freedoms and liberties are there to defend not only those things socially favorable, but specifically the most outrageous, socially offensive and egregious of statements and points of view. Here in America, we do not suppress those with Muslim beliefs, those who burn our flag, the one who urinates on the cross, nor anyone who makes a sacrilegious video.
Regardless of whether we agree or disagree, as true Americans, we should remain vigilant to strongly defend oneβs right voice their view.
To penalize one for expressing themselves or exercising their freedom and liberty is an infringement and a denial of that freedom and liberty which we all enjoy. Today we censor someone else with whom we disagree, tomorrow it may be you and me who is censored.

So I say, Grow up America, Don’t Fall for that New Age CRAP that Guards you from some words.& Grow to Recognize B.S. When the PRESIDENT SPEAKS. & We’ll all be Happier.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 9:22amWhile in poor taste she posted a private communication. It is the same as if she had shared her diary with a friend. Her employer had no grounds to fire her. She should take them to court.
I had a similar problem with Yahoo. I commented that some idiot will take a shot at the president now and that will be a pretext to take our weapons away and that it would get ugly. They cut off my ability to post. Seriously censored speech. I know it their site and they set the rules but I saw far worse postings when Bush was president.

Lets talk about what is truly important here!
Denise Helms has a right to be upset, like so many other Americans!
Instead of going to the tomb of the unknown soldier today, Obama should be going to the tomb of the UNKNOWN VOTER: http://american3rdposition.com/?p=8416
Obama Lost in Every State With a Photo ID Law.
We are headed for four more years of higher unemployment, scandals, lies and cover-ups from a corrupt administration in Washington DC. Benghazi is likely to be just the beginning, making the Carter administration look like the good ole days.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 1:32pmHaving a right to free speech doesn’t mean you’re protected from your stupid railings socially (up to and including your employment). Posting ANYTHING like this on Facebook? “The world must KNOW my mind and heart!” Okay… and you own it. And, yes, this should be a two way street that hold lefties and progs to the same standard. If you ever spend any time on left-leaning forums, it’s laughable how often many of the enlightened wish ill upon individuals or large swaths of the population. No different rules for different people.
And, yes, many of The Blaze’s ‘headlines’ are leading and a little too cute at times (and reveal what could be bias). Remember, this is an OPINION site rather than a “straight” news site.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 3:47amOnce again, I am amazed at how little people her actually understand the law and constitution in this country. We have a constitutionally protected freedom of speech however there have always been some limitations to that speech, particularly if it infringes on the rights of others. Some things the Supreme Court has determined are not protected forms of speech include:
- Incitement or advocacy of the use of force, such as threatening statements about the president
- False statements of fact, such as lying under oath in court, libel or slander.
- Obscenity, generally viewed as something with a “tendency to exert a corrupting and debasing impact leading to antisocial behavior”
- Child pornography
- Fighting words and offensive speech. This covers speech that “tend[s] to incite an immediate breach of the peace” by provoking a fight, so long as it is a “personally abusive [word] which, when addressed to the ordinary citizen, is, as a matter of common knowledge, inherently likely to provoke a violent reaction”.
- Threats of violence that are directed at a person or group of persons that has the intent of placing the target at risk of bodily harm or death
- Speech owned by others, such as intellectual property
- Commercial speech, such as false or misleading advertising.
There are few rights that are exist without some restrictions in some cases. I hope you all learned something today but I am not counting on it.

This immature woman is not rare, there are millions of morons out there in which the only difference is they haven’t hit the wrong “post” button on their account yet. Then you have those so brazen as to post these types of comments openly on purpose. Take the examples below of all of the open threats against Mitt Romney. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a candidate threatened more than Romney and his family was openly. Was there any local or national news coverage on that? Nope. Any backlash agains Snoop Dog for his comments? Nope. Why? It didn’t fit the narrative. Threatening Romney’s family was “amusing” to the press.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 5:05pmNo – she did NOT deserve it! When did anyone ever get fired for what they said about Bush or Reagan for that matter? Did she implicate her employer? Doesn’t look like it. She may have invited a visit by the Secret Service, but she still has a 1st Amendment right to speak her mind. I am not defending WHAT she said, but her right to say it. Over the past few weeks I have had to see and hear Obama supporters threaten to burn the MFer down. There have been many threats against Romney and more vile, vulgar and repulsive remarks against Republicans than we could take the time to discuss. Yet, who gets fired? We’re sick of this double standard. So, TheBlaze.com, your self-righteous judgement is not welcome in this case.

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 3:21pmI completely agree with that statement…this last election was one of double standards. The libiots and Chrissy Matthews can say whatever the Hell they want, accuse everyone of anything and get away with it. Romney’s hands were tied behind his back and he had to take the high moral road….meanwhile every obamaphone user was threatening violence, rioting, etc and NONE of them were even interviewed, much less detained. Full on double standard…this election was stolen, pure and simple. I read somewhere that Romney won every state that required ID and oBUMa won ever state that didn’t. People went to vote amd found that someone had already used their vote (guess for whom). This woman, simply voiced the frustration that most of us feel….and suffered for it. I hope Chick Fil A hires her, lol….it is sad..the MORONS who voted the Manchurian candidate back into office- I hope they are among the first wave of already announced lay-offs.
America is doomed….this JACKAPPLE will find a way to repeal the 22nd Amendment and proclaim himself “Dick-tater(sic) for Life” and we shall probably never have another election again…worst of all,what truly grinds my teeth is smug-ass Mooch getting another $1.4 Billion is vacations in the upcoming year.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 4:02amThere are several restrictions on free speech in the USA including advocating assassination of a president. I guarantee that people who made threats against Reagan or Bush were investigated by the secret service and in many cases charged. Romney is not and never will be president so those presidential protections do not apply to him. Credible threats against him however would also be investigated. And they were right to fire her. If not for the threatening statement or blatant racism, then at least for being an idiot who “doesn’t understand what she did wrong.”

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 5:12amBLUEBLOOD11, you “heard” that Romney won in all the states with voter ID laws? I presume that means you did not bother to even check if there was any truth to that claim? Not surprising since the right seems to be allergic to facts. Well let me help you out on this. Michigan, Florida, Vermont, Virginia, Ohio, Washington, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, and Hawaii all have voter ID laws and all went to Obama. I can understand why you might not have taken on the monumental task of actually verifying the information you spew. After all, I had to use a very complicated and new website for researching data. It’s a little thing that you may never have heard of. It’s called google. It took me a whole 2 to verify the info.
On a related note, there are 32 states that receive more federal funds than they contribute in taxes (the “takers,” right?). Of those 32 states, 27 of them voted for Romney. Red states have receive welfare much more than blue states. That means the red states are the takers. Not surprisingly, the ten highest educated states went for Obama and the ten lowest educated went to Romney. Those the facts.

However, your employer and everyone else is free to fire you or stomp a mudhole in you if they don’t like what you say. The Free Speech clause doesn’t protect you from their actions because they are not the government.

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 12:27am@KEAT-
Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. First of all- it was a black man who bought the first slave in this nation. Second of all- I have researched my family history pretty thoroughly and I am 100% positive that since our arrival here in the states in the mid 1700′s not one of my ancestor’s owned anyone, and it is entirely possible that one or two of my ancestors came here as a servant. Third, I am a woman. And just as soon as blacks stop referencing my gender as biotches and ho’s I will defend their sensitivity to the “N” word!!! Finally, racism does exist- I am not trying to say that it doesn’t. That said, it is not as prevalent as it once was decades ago. We have made great, no, tremendous strides closing the gap between the races. This is truly evident in everyday life. To downplay this accomplishment is not only sad, but quite dangerous in my opinion. It implies that there is still a great divide, but the truth is, that divide was a small pinprick when Obama took office and is now a gaping hole. To avoid a wound from becoming infected, you treat it, cover it and protect it. You don’t rip off the bandage; drag it through the muck and mire and then act surprised when it becomes red, warm, and swollen with pus. Anyone, here, believe that at the end of 2008, race relations were as bad as they are now? No! This is one problem that Obama cannot say that he inherited from the Bush administration. PERIOD. He owns this one.

No need to sit and stare at computer screens anymore, or search millions of Facebook accounts to find this stuff.
It is called a spider. It is a computer search program that spreads out and finds what you are looking for. All you have to do is tell the program where to look and it will find it.
From there, the program goes into the settings on the Facebook server and changes them so someone can get a screen shot. Simple as that.
Also, why would someone be looking at a no-body’s Facebook page, bother to get a screen shot then twitter the FB post to everyone. Then who gets mad over a no-body doing basically nothing.
It doesn’t add up for me. Why the big scene for such a small thing?

She’s free to use the N word just the same as every rapper in every song and every news reporter repeating her comment to destroy her life for some unknown reason. Until she starts telling black people she won’t scoop ice cream for them because they’re black – she can say, think, or feel anything she pleases. None of us have to like it, but until it actually effects someone’s life – it’s none of your business. It’s also a shame that in the heat of the moment perhaps she did something she regrets – she can’t even delete it now. You vultures have secured it safely for her grandchildren to enjoy via Google search a hundred years from now.

All rights also have responsibilities AND CONSEQUENCES. You make the case that if people disagree, that they should ignore it. I agree. But, with that, you also have to accept the responsibility for those that might agree with you, and act upon it. So, are you so likely to protect those that would promote assassination, now? What will you say in court? What you say, can be a double-edged sword.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 9:39pm@ BASKETFULLOFPUPPIES – You have some bad news for me, freedom of speech is a right? Of course it is, so why do you seek to impede hers? Because you don’t like what she said? It’s all stick and stones man. If we can start busting people for saying things we don’t agree with does that mean I can have Bill Maher buried under a prison? BTW – it’s impossible to ‘act’ upon a noun and she never threatened anyone – she made a wish. That said, anyone who choses to ‘act’ upon her for using a certain descriptive term WOULD be breaking an actual law and violating an actual right.
I also have some more bad news for you Basketfullofpuppies – ‘shall not be infringed’ means shall not be infringed. If she wants to plot an assassination down to the last detail she’s free to do so – when she puts the rifle in her car to go do it THEN you can arrest her. Up until that point she could be writing a book, doing it for catharsis or planning a legitimate rebellion for which the founding fathers gave us the constitution. We make good and bad decisions all day every day – if you’re going to start putting people in jail for pondering options, we’re all in a lot of trouble. Again, I don’t expect you to agree with it – but last I checked they hadn’t burned the Constitution and Bill of Rights just yet. You’re free to be an idiot, I’m free to use racial slurs and Obama is free to say he hates white people and America. That’s why this place is awesome.

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 4:40pmOf course, she’s free to use it. No one has tried to stop her from doing that. In fact, I think she should use it more often. It’s always nice when racists expose themselves. No one sneaked into her house and stole her words. SHE chose to post them for people SHE chose to share it with. If a “vulture” showed it to others, it’s because she enjoys talking to “vultures”. Now, I come from a state with plenty of wildlife and my daddy was a hunter. From what I’ve seen, vultures tend to keep company with other vultures. Maybe Helms should change her way of thinking so that she’ll be able to attract a different sort of friends. Right now, it looks like she’s just enjoying the privilege of exercising her right to freedom of speech. With rights comes responsibilities and consequences.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 5:16amPOINTYHEAD, you seem to be ignoring the actual issue here. It is illegal to make threatening comments about assassination of a president. On top of that, the right to free speech is not absolute and there are several forms that are not protected. I listed them in a comment above. If you disagree and think that all speech is protected, I encourage you to lie in court under oath some day, to use one example.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 4:57pmShe’s not the only one who lost her job because of our Kenyan King:
“EAST CARBON, Carbon County β A Utah coal company owned by a vocal critic of President Barack Obama has laid off 102 miners. The layoffs at the West Ridge Mine are effective immediately, according to UtahAmerican Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corp. They were announced in a short statement made public Thursday, two days after Obama won re-election. The layoffs are necessary because of the president’s “war on coal,” the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down “204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014″ and for drastically reducing the market for coal.”

Posted on November 10, 2012 at 4:27pmI’m sure that’s going to make folks in that area more inclined to vote Republican. Not! This guy is shooting himself in the foot. Those folks aren’t going to blame President Obama; they’re going to blame the person doing the firing. Republicans just can’t seem to understand that their tactics are only making them more unpopular with working folks. They’ll soon be relegated to the dustbin of history, just like the Whigs, the Federalists, et cetera.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 5:04pmIt was inappropriate, but hardly worth the outrage compared to some of the things libs have said about Palin’s children, and the public descriptions given by public entertainers about their children. High profile liberal organizers have even called for the violent rape of female conservative bloggers and they are still lauded and employed. Compared to some of the things said about Secretary Rice this is the tamest of explosive emotional expletives. HOWEVER. In the New America, under the new fascist regime you must be exceedingly careful about what you say and who you say it to. Your friends, your family, and especially your acquaintances are more than willing to report you to the authorities for your thoughts and words.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 5:19pmI agree that the progressives have done worse. But, if we want to hold the higher ground, we cannot allow ourselves to become like them. With rights, come responsibilities. The Constitution does not protect “fighting words”, and if this woman had said this about a member of my family, and in my presence, I would’ve shown her the door in no uncertain terms. The fact that her employer is fielding calls about this person makes it evident that she managed to bring them into the fray. She brought disgrace upon them, by association. You will be known by the company you keep. They preferred not to associate with her, anymore. I don’t blame them. I blame her.
