Secret Service visits Lufkin woman after 'death threat' allegation from an Obama campaign volunteer

A Lufkin woman received a surprise visit from the Secret Service last week because of a "death threat" comment she reportedly made about Sen. Barack Obama to a campaign volunteer asking for her support of the presidential candidate.
Two federal agents arrived at Jessica Hughes' home Thursday to ask her if she said, "I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."
Jessica Savage/The Lufkin Daily News (ENLARGE) Jessica and Micah Hughes say two Secret Service agents showed up on their doorstep Thursday after a campaign volunteer for Sen. Barack Obama accused her of making a 'death threat' during a phone conversation a day earlier.
Hughes said her words were deliberately twisted by a volunteer who was apparently unhappy Hughes was rude during a phone conversation the two had. The Lufkin mother, a Republican, said she received a call on her cell phone Wednesday from a woman with the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.
"She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, 'No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.' (And then) I hung up."
(Hughes is referring to a "born alive" Illinois bill that did not pass in the Illinois state Senate in 2005 and had previously been opposed by Obama because he said it undermined Roe v. Wade, according to FactCheck.org, a non-partisan organization. A federal version of the bill, which Obama said he would have supported, passed by unanimous consent and was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002.)
Obama Campaign Communications for Texas director Josh Taylor declined to comment Monday, refusing to answer any questions and referring the matter to the Secret Service, which he said is conducting an investigation. A message left with a Secret Service agent in Houston was not immediately returned.
Hughes said she was surprised to see two Secret Service agents at her door, and upset to learn that the conversation she had with the volunteer apparently had not been recorded.
"I find it hard to believe that (campaign volunteers) don't tape these calls. They call people unsolicited and they aren't monitoring the calls or recording them? I think that is absolutely ridiculous," she said.
"I mean, how often must this happen — that someone is rude to a volunteer that they don't want to talk to?"
Hughes said she wants to file a countercomplaint against the volunteer.
"She has made a charge that will follow me the rest of my life," she said.
"I find that repugnant and violating — that some person got her undies in a bundle because she didn't like what I had to say."
You seem to be a bit confused. Obama didn’t pop out of Zeus’ head fully grown. He’s been active with leftist radical groups for more than 20 years. Does “ACORN” and the name Ayers ring any bells?
It’s common knowledge that leftists/Dems don’t care about lying, cheating and committing crimes to attain their goals.
Here’s a thread about Annenberg, Ayers and Obama that might be relevant to what you’re referring to:

Annenberg Foundation - Obama - FactCheck.org
Different topic than the school connection but still the same players.
All the filth about Obama that can be dug up and publicized the better.
Her name was Jessica Savitch.
The problem is that it will all backfire on them. It will only create more tensions which could end up creating the violence that I am very fearful about.
“Well, I have heard several times “we’re gonna turn the White House into the Black House.” That sounds disturbing and strange to me; like some kind of radical
Black Panther deal or something.”
Wow - where’d you hear that?!
(I’m GONNA relearn the little html I used to know!!)
Just forwarded to Sean Hannity. I suppose others have, too,
but if not, this needs wider coverage than just here and in
Texas! Quite a scary scenario out of the Osama camp!
Welcome to FR Jessica. I admire your courage.
Þ
God bless you, Jessica, for standing for the babies! You will be in my prayers.
Obama MUST be stopped. He is dangerous, and his thug-followers scare me just as much.
BUMP
Welcome Jessica!
He did vote to allow little babies to die in hospitals. That is a matter of public record.
Jessica, if you're out there - well said.
Aside from the obvious affront on your First Amendment free speech rights, and nevermind the fact that they called you, a few things are in play here: There's something called "due process". There are these things called jury trials. So now you have a permanent black mark on your record for merely stating a matter of public record.
I am outraged by this.
Take this, Obama campaign thugs!:
OBAMA VOTED FOUR TIMES TO LET BABIES DIE OBAMA VOTED FOUR TIMES TO LET BABIES DIE OBAMA VOTED FOUR TIMES TO LET BABIES DIE OBAMA VOTED FOUR TIMES TO LET BABIES DIE OBAMA SUPPORTS PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION! OBAMA SUPPORTS PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION! OBAMA SUPPORTS PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION! OBAMA SUPPORTS PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION! OBAMA IS, BY PROXY, A BABY KILLER OBAMA IS, BY PROXY, A BABY KILLER OBAMA IS, BY PROXY, A BABY KILLER OBAMA IS, BY PROXY, A BABY KILLER OBAMA: BABY KILLER OBAMA: BABY KILLER OBAMA: BABY KILLER OBAMA: BABY KILLER
(God bless you and Micah for STANDING UP FOR RIGHT in the spirit of Proverbs 24:11!)
BTTT
The double standard, you could carry signs saying “Assassinate Bush”, a hand drawn photo of Bush beheaded or burn Bush in effigy and not a damn thing is done. Say one negative thing about Obama to one of his volunteers, it’s twisted into a death threat.
I’m frightened of what might happen to this country.
Lufkin lady.
Jessica Savage is still alive?
Obama today from Indianapolis could be run side by side with a Hitler rally. Same gestures and intensity of the eyes. He’s the one allright. THE WRONG ONE.
It’s not his skin color that bothers people. It’s his ideology and militant followers. They are frightening and the others are brainwashed. If their god wins or loses, it’s going to be a mess.
Wow, O Squad. Shades of tomorrow. Hope and change Nazis.
