Yep, you nailed how it would play out.

I hope Romney’s security is tight.

I wonder if Biden will do the same when he goes and does speeches to the Chinese-Americans.

I don't see this happening with Biden. I don't see the paranoia in him.

Walking out of an event would dampen any of BO’s attempts at manufactured drama aimed at a sympathy vote. No audience = no drama.

I can’t remember where I saw it but some people are swearing there’s going to be a fake assasination attempt. To drum up the sympathy vote.

I often think there are people trying to sabotage him and his campaign. Considering the SS is under the control of the Executive Branch, this is comical. I hope it ticks off the hispanics.

They won’t be ticked off. Staying steady at about a 70 percent clip on the legal voter side, and 100 percent on the illegal side. Voting for their plantation masters is what those numbers mean. The blacks are firmly entrenched to vote for their plantation masters at 90 percent and the Hispanics are intent on catching up.

Naw, they won’t be ticked off. The handouts and the get in free cards for their comrades is too enticing. Whoop me again mah’ster.

Actually, I hadn't thought of that, although it is a possibility.

He has a problematical appointee who has been in the news lately, and it wouldn't be hard for the press to gin up a 'motive'.

As we have seen recently, facts don't matter to a media-driven populace, and the media are there to sell soap.

Instead, it is all about the image, the emotions the media tie to the 'brave, persevering, honest and forthright victim'.

By the time all the fawning memorials would be over (a few weeks, or until more Rights had been trashed with 'Emergency legislation' a few thousand pages thick--or even just Executive Orders, whichever came first), one would think Elvis had died again for all the used Kleenex produced by the people watching TV.

The racism meme could be trotted out again by the MSM if the appointee was the alleged target, and the ensuing and obligatory riots would be enough excuse for Martial Law, if the polls didn't reflect 'growing sympathy' for the administration.

Of course, agitation and incitement work best in urban areas in summer, so August is the most likely time, barring a heat wave.

When Bill O'Reilly calls those who have (correctly, imho) identified that F&F was to pad stats for guns retrieved from Cartel killings to justify more gun control a "conspiracy theory", I doubt there would be much analysis going on, especially not on TV. If the internet was compromised, the lockout would be pretty much complete, and no serious look would be taken at events past the media meme.

That may sound tinfoil hat, but in view of the lengths this administration has already gone to in order to impose the will of those pulling their strings on the people, I would put nothing past them.

Sometimes a theory is a correct representation of reality, no matter how much conspiracy is involved, nor how outlandish it seems. In fact, the more outlandish, the better, because that increases the deniability coefficient.

How ever did they eat at Sarah Jessica Parker’s? Want was Anna Wintour’s solution?

Confiscate all eyeglasses as well. Potential risk.
Do not let anyone shake your hands. Hand sanitizer not good enough
Address audience by closed circuit from adjacent room.

0bama is apparently going full on Manson family on this one, 2012 style.

Then again, I guess Democrats think Latinos could always use tortillas to eat with. “Shut up and eat your taco!’

Vampires , ghouls & werewolves do not want silverware anywhere close when they’re in bloom. Well-known fact.

Joe B. has that "stuck on stupid" thing workin' for him.
They have been keeping sharp objects away from Joe for a lot of years already.

When Forks are outlawed, only outlaws will have forks.

You can have my fork when your pry my cold dead
hand from it.

The Second Amendment of the Constitution protects the right to bear arms.

SS says forks are arms.

This can not stand!!!!!

We are at a fork in the road to Marxism.

It won’t be long until some enterprising young entrepreneur fashions a gun with a fork like bayonet, then what?
