An irate Michigan father worried over what Obamacare would do to his handicapped adult son reports he was threatened after trying to get a direct answer from Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., and has a warning of his own for those who made the threats.
"I will use every means available to me, lethal force if necessary, to protect [my son] and my wife. My wife is terrified," Mike Sola told Fox News today.
Meanwhile, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., was confronted by some pointed questions at a town hall meeting of her own, including one referencing the ongoing dispute over President Obama's refusal to allow public access to his original long-form birth certificate, which probably could establish his eligibility to be president.
In an interview with Fox, Sola explained how he took his wheelchair-bound adult son to the front of the room to confront Dingell, 83.
Sola said he demanded information about what Obamacare would provide for his son, and Dingell responded with a statement that there is an amendment to address the needs of the handicapped.
However, Sola said that amendment doesn't exist.
The controversy erupted just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed in a commentary that those who object vocally to the health care plan are "un-American."
"I was trying to speak as an American in a free country with a right of freedom of speech," Sola said.
Then he said that "thugs" already have located his home and delivered a threat, although he did not detail its contents. He said it had been reported to police.
Sola said he would "take the risk of going to prison" if the threats were repeated.

Maybe he should have just waited and let the first goon he shot be an object lesson.
Keep electing Democrats and expecting a different result.
I guess that is why they look like a third world country.
only the crypt keeper has better ethics..
This country is unrecognizable from six months ago. What’s it going to be like in three years and six months.
What you are seeing are all of our deep rooted problems & divisions which are finally coming to the surface.
We will defend ourselves.

I am 100% behind Mr. Sola and his family. I have lost all respect for the Democrats and their “allies”.
Courage Sola, be strong. We appreciate what you’ve done!
They always do this. It isn’t enough for them to simply debate they have to threaten and intimidate. The left is one of the most intolerant group of people I’ve ever seen especially when their opponents have a sympathetic figure because one can not let a sympathetic figure stand that is not their creation or they have not propped up.
Lebanon in the late 70’s early 80’s perhaps.
