Tony, stick to interviewing George Clooney. At least, you have something in common with him.

To the increasingly toxic American mix of racial anger, political frustration and economic despair, a frightening new ingredient was added last week — belligerent gun-owners on a mission to defy President Barack Obama.
A series of minor but worrying incidents involving citizens carrying handguns to political meetings has raised new questions about the president’s security and a potentially inflammatory gun control issue that he has so far managed to avoid.
When William Kostric, a 36-year-old gun-owner from New Hampshire, turned up near an Obama meeting last Tuesday with a 9mm Smith & Wesson pistol strapped to his leg, he instantly became a hero to millions of US gun-owners who have long been convinced that the president and his Democratic allies are plotting a sweeping crackdown on gun ownership in America.
Kostric was waving a crudely drawn protest placard that referred obscurely to an inflammatory quotation by former president Thomas Jefferson, who once wrote that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”.
Yet once police concluded that Kostric was carrying the gun legally under relaxed New Hampshire weapons laws, and that he was waving his sign on private property, no action was taken against him.
The incident stunned gun control advocates and many other Americans who have begun to fear for Obama’s safety amid the heated debate over healthcare reform. There have been several other instances of guns being taken to political meetings, and reports of healthcare protesters urging gun-owners to exercise their rights to carry concealed weapons to meetings where legal.

Yet Obama's aides privately acknowledge that the last thing they want, as the president attempts to calm tempers over healthcare issues, is a bitter debate over gun control.

LOL!
Can I use that?
I promise I'll give full attribution!
To force their radical agenda on us and keep their racial separatist agenda alive, which shows what kind of people they really are.
The last thing I want is another liberal martyr. It’s like, gag me with a spoon!

I only want to see him evicted from the White House in Handcuffs, Impeached and tried for Treason.
I liked the part where the incident” stunned gun cotrol advocates and other Americans”
I’m one of those “other Americans” and I wasn’t stunned by a person legally carrying a gun in a hostile environment.
All the press coverage about how right wing gun nuts want to assasinate Obama would almost seem to be planted stories put out by White House operatives to serve as a reason to clamp down on “hate speech” on talk radio and pass anti gun legislation.
Or better yet, use the Preferred Object Oriented Press...
Tony, stick to interviewing George Clooney. At least, you have something in common with him.
Not only that, but he did it legally under New Hampshire’s RELAXED gun laws. Relaxed? I wouldn’t say that; I’d say the rest of the country’s laws are RESTRICTIVE.
Brits are afraid of guns.
You’re right on the mark.
Or better yet, use the Preferred Object Oriented Press...
But we won't bother to provide details on those incidents.
My understanding is the guy was on HIS property. Kinda like when Obama went to Joe The Plumbers street where that infamous exchange occurred a stone's throw from Joe's place.
Exactly. Like the guy with the cardboard threat on 0Dunga's life, arrested by the SS, no news, no name, nada!
Be forewarned, I believe the RATs will concoct a real murder of a known liberal with all kinds of "extreme right wing slogans" left close by. They will "create" their own fake martyr since no Conservative is willing to cooperate! Poor martyr, whoever that will be!
This will put their propaganda in gear to start implementing all kinds of policies to "protect the people" from the eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil extremists!
The way it’s going right now, the dems would want him martyred than lose another fight but I just want him neutered to the point he can’t damage our country anymore. I’m not a democrat, I don’t wish death on people that disagree with me like they do. The last thing I want to see is two girls go w/o a father because I have two daughters myself.
Yes POOP is more descriptive for much of the products of SCAM.
BTW, state controlled media is a Rush description but he seems to use state run media more often. I've never heard him say scam. Maybe it's too confrontational.. for now.
King of Sweden if he wanted to. Zer0's ghostly records allow him to claim to be a citizen of any country since nobody, media and/or authorities won't dare to have a "racist" investigation.
What? He doesn't speak Swedish? That's a distraction!
