Minn. man says company wrong to fire him over Obama lynching threat: ‘My only regret is being called racist’

"Minnesota man who tweeted lynching threats to President Barack Obama said this week that he was wrongly called a racist and then fired from his job.

The New York Times reported earlier this month that the president’s newly-launched Twitter account had received an unexpected number of hate-filled messages.

The paper singled out Jeff Gullickson for posting an image of Obama with a noose around his neck."
