I heard your call on Hannity and had to pull over because I was shouting at Hannity! Please keep us updated and I will follow your blog. Fellow FReepers that could have been any number of us on the receiving end of this visit. Truly frightening.

In the process of protecting “their dear leader”, the MSM risks planting the seeds to a bloody civil war.

The seeds have been planted. They are watering and feeding them.

Just following orders, huh?

They have no right to call her remarks RUDE.

She told the caller WHY SHE WAS NOT A SUPPORTER, that’s all.

It’s a little teensy taste of what the future holds if Obamination wins. Of course, he will only win by massive voter fraud, and that’s why ACORN’s been in overdrive.

The rioters will be in for a rude suprise when there is police swat teams and the NG is called out. Those riots will be supressed very fast.

I found this posting at The Annoyed Army. This person claims to have a son who works with the very agents who came to my door so I guess they were the real deal and they were ticked that I got ticked.

Oh well, last I checked citizens paid their salary. I was patient until the woman got rude and the man questioned my thoughts. That’s my limit.

“I cannot say too much without compromising my son but when I first got the e-mail about this (I’ve gotten it four times) I forwarded to him for his comments and he asked me not to quote him, for obvious reasons.

But, he did say I could tell people that (1) he has worked with these two agents on numerous occasions, as they are both also assigned to the Houston Office, and he has NEVER - not a single time - seen them be anything but polite and professional and that they all have it hammered into their heads from day one of their training that they MUST at all times be polite to keep from damaging the image and reputation of the service.

And (2) that the Service MUST - by law - investigate ANY allegation of a threat that is made to a public official they are responsible for protecting, even if does not APPEAR serious on the surface. They have NO CHOICE. If they just ASSUMED a threat was not serious and it turned out to be otherwise they would be - justifiably - crucified for not doing their job.

As I said, I can’t give you specifics but let me just say that there IS another side to this story but the difference is that the agents cannot publicly defend themselves while this lady is free to spread her accusations far and wide over the internet.

MY opinion? And remember.....this did NOT come from my son...the lady was ticked off (justifiably if she really did not make the comment) and took it out on the Agents, getting in their face with BOATLOADS of attitude, possibly refusing to cooperate. At that point the Agents probably stressed upon her the seriousness of a threat and they also probably mentioned that if she refused to cooperate with them their only alternative would be to talk to other people to see if they could find out if she might actually be a threat. But she turned their words around to say they THREATENED her, taking their innoculous comments and misrepresenting what they said.

Again, my son did not SAY that’s what happened but I’m BETTING that’s what happened. The lady called Sean Hannity’s show last Friday to tell “her story” and she was ranting and raving and I have no doubt that was her attitude with the Agents talked to her.

By the way, she got NOWHERE with Sean Hannity as he said he had been around a lot of SS Agents and that they had a difficult job and he had never seen any of them behave that way.

Just keep in mind......there IS another side to this story. Oh, and by the way, they don’t HAVE badge numbers!”

So, I guess the mother who wrote that post doesn't have a problem with someone getting a "record" after being harrassed by a minion of a political candidate? I would have lost it had the SS showed up at my house. We live in such a police state.

I still see a double standard here. Early in the year a Nobel Prize winner from 2007, a UK citizen made a prediction about Sen. Obama that if he wins the White House, he will be assasinated. Because she is a British citizen and a Nobel Prize winner, it was suprising that the Secret Service gaved her a pass. Not so if she was to have been an American citizen. Here is the FR URL link.

You should contact the local US attorney’s office about this.

“...possibly refusing to cooperate...”

If the truthful answer is “no, I didn’t say what I am being accused of saying,” how much more “cooperation” can there be?

I don’t subscribe to the idea of time travel. However, I do think that the “Former” Soviet Union and China, and their Communist/Islamic allies, would exploit any disorder in the US resulting from any civil war here.

Well, myself, I do believe time travel is possible but still I would require some proof. Again, I'd put my money on the idea the story is put up be a person or a group as a possible warning.

In the story itself, the Russians and Red Chinese feared of an attack from the authoritarian government that took over the U.S. so yes, you are right, they did exploit the situation in the story but there was a counterstrike too. As to the Islamists, I'll have to go to the site to see where they fit in. Again, I believe anything's possible but I would still require proof.

Jessica,

I am more then willing to support you in any action you take against the Obama campaign, the caller, or whom ever is responsible for this happening to you.

I’m sure other Freepers will be more then happy to chip in also. Let us know what you need, financially etc, and I know I’ll be there for you.

If we allow this type of action to take place in the US without refute, we are allowing ourselves to become serfs of the government.

If you see this or if someone can pass this on to you, feel free to freepmail me on here for anything you need. Btw, my husband grew up about an hour from Lufkin.

Wow. What can I say? So much support and generosity is just breathtaking. Everyone at FreeRepublic has been so kind and now this.

We are in touch with an attorney who works in the Republican Party here and he is attempting to get us a pro-bono civil liberties attorney. If we do come to the point where we need help like bail or something, lmao, I will surely let you know but for now we’re okay, thank you.

I don’t know about the FBI, but the SS has many Leftist supervisors appointed under the tenure of Democrat political hack Ronald Noble who was appointed by Bill Clinton. If you recall during the Clinton Administration the SS circled the wagons around the Pervert & Chief and very likely saved him more serious charges during the Impeachment process.

I have no doubt that these Noble promoted supervisors are at the top of the chain of command of SS and are directing more efforts against the Republicans and right wing than against the Leftists.

If Obama is elected we might see something like the STASI in a few years, as the laws the SS operates under are broad enough to literally shut down political speech “President Obama” doesn’t want spoken...or written...or broadcast...or THOUGHT.

At least I know a bit of the SS from what you report. It does suprise me that there has not been a lot of tenson between the more conservitive factions of the SS and the leftist supervisors. It could increase bigtime under a possible Obama White House.
