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.

Conservatives are not the ones putting out the relentless screaming headlines about this, liberals and the liberal media are continuously inflaming the public with articles like this one.
They remember how LBJ was able to ram through the Great Society in the wake of JFK's murder. Now they're having visions of Fidel Castro's workers' paradise being forced on America in tribute to a slain Obama.
I wonder if Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn explained to Obama this was part of the deal?
As for me, I wish Obama a long natural life--out of office.
My feelings exactly.
Of course that quote is inflammatory to the British. We kicked their butts twice, then saved them twice.
Yeah, who are we to deny some Kenyan village their idiot.

“They remember how LBJ was able to ram through the Great Society in the wake of JFK’s murder.”
And that’s why LBJ had him kiled.
I hope he lives a long, long life, long enough to see either the destruction his “success” will create or the undeniable resurgence of our country should he (Please G-d!) fail.

Oh my God! Chrissy must have wet Oberman’s bed when he heard about the guy showing up with the gun at an Obongo town hall meeting.
No, Brits. I don’t want Obongo assasinated. That’s too easy.
I want him frog-marched out of our White House in chains to spend the rest of his sorry life in prison for high treason.
I want his and the First Beast’s sh*t thrown out into the street.

jeeze, not this poop.
this is as suspicious as that pelosi comment about swatikas and then one appearing magically.
Obama needs live very very long in order to fade into kookiness just like jimmy carter.
The democrats must be mumbling this because they know after the colorado fiasco it is either Obama resigns and saves the democrat party or takes the democrat party down with them.
That is sick but I think some of them do think that way. The last person to succeed in the attempt, Lee Harvey Oswald, was a Marxist. The left plays the game too.
There are people in this world who intend to advance their Socialist Agenda by any means necessary.
If they need to JFK him, they will.
“Yeah, who are we to deny some Kenyan village their idiot”
That was good. Bwahahahaha.
There will be some whacked-out liberal who will try something stupid, in the hopes conservatives get blamed. They will do anything for their cause. I'd like to see him tossed out of office on his arse, but assination is out of the question.
And action should have been taken against him for what, exactly? Made up on the spot Obama laws, just arrest him for "something" regardless of his civil rights? Idiots.
I can tell you first hand that Brit-libs are HUGE on calling we Yanks ‘racists’. It’s all part of the ‘snobbery’ of ‘looking down on us’.
‘Slavery’???????? As far as they are concerned......Brits NEVER participated in it. History revised.
Still, Obama would go ballistic if he found out Ayers was on the Secret Service "watch list".
Sorry I would much rather see a few Marines drag him out of the White House and throw him onto Pennsylvania Avenue with his luggage following close behind.
“AND STAY OUT”
Now that would be a good day.
No way...he needs to leave the office is disgrace...he needs to resign.
