Gun-Bearers Put Obama President in Cross Hairs (Liberals Want Obama To Be Assassinated)
UK Times ^ | Sunday, August 16, 2009 | Tony Allen-Mills

Posted on 08/15/2009 6:36:52 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

SNIP

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.

The left wants a martyr. I wonder what Soros and Maurice Strong are thinking now...I hope someone protects him from his “friends” as well as any crazies out their.

Tony, thank you so much for your concern. I with my president a long and healthy life. But you, for some unknown reason, would like to see him harmed. England is not exactly heaven today, and I am surprised that you are not concerned with all of the problems that face your country.

We will work out any disagreements we have here, and perhaps, you can comment on the things that affect your country. Thank you.

So, how much do you want to bet that Tony Allen-Mills wet his pants in horror at the very thought of ordinary, law-abiding citizens armed with handguns and exercising their first amendment rights while living in free states with "relaxed" weapons laws?

Cleanup on aisle three...

“To the increasingly toxic American mix of racial anger...”

Which is coming exclusively from the left...

I wish to see him voted out of office; rejected by the citizens who are not members of his cult.

And watch the stock market soar on the news of his rejection.

Assassins tend to be anarchists, communists, and assorted nutball leftists.

It's the left that Obama needs to fear.

LOL! Which Scandinavian language is this?

C'mon now! I never claimed any Scandinavian throne, so, stop the distraction and let's nationalize the American health insurance companies. :-)

This experiment in Obamunism has set race relations in America back 20-30 years. I've read of more, and personally seen more racial strife than I have since the 70's. And it is only going to get worse.

There is a false sense of entitlement, some "earned" through liberal pandering, some presumed by liberal electoral victories, that is sweeping our country. A certain sort of people are demanding a "cut of the action" whether they are entitled to it or not. Even if what they want happens to belong to you or me.

Then there is another sort of people, like me for example, who will be God Damned if they will allow the others to take from them what doesn't belong to them.

All of this is being encouraged and condoned by obamination and the insane left. They are raising the anxiety level and pushing for confrontation. "All it needs is a spark." I read this comment on this thread that discussed suggested that it is the right-wing that is fomenting a class and/or race war in America. The comment is attributed to a Special Agent with the BATFE. They are setting us up for another Timothy McVeigh type of incident in the hopes that it will so demonize the average American that it defangs the right-wing.

We are headed for a show-down and it isn't going to be pleasant. Be prepared and be careful.

Allegedly a Swedish translation from “The Audacity of Hope.”

No greater disaster could befall conservatives, than for Obama to be assasinated. That should be blindingly obvious to everyone—even to socialists and "independents." That's one reason I have far greater suspicions of liberals regarding Obama's safety; they're evil enough to do the deed in the hope of having conservatives take the blame.

To me it is always refreshing to see articles that postulate the scary "gun toting" headlines, and the pontification of, "they that know so much about us" than we do, especially from a people that has abdicated their existence to the "crown".

Hey UK Times, we left y'all 200 some odd years ago, because we believed in a strange concept called "self determination", now we have a ruling class just like you.

Gosh it sucks to be in this situation but, it gotta suck so much more to be you.

"Liberals Want Obama To Be Assassinated"

I suspect that some on the left actually do want this. But they want someone else to do the dirty deed. That way, they can push gun control and pass blame while ridding themselves of the baggage that he's quickly becoming.

As for me, I wish Obama a long natural life--out of office.

I wish long lives for Obama AND Jimmah Carter.

They will serve as a constant reminder to the American people of the colossal failure of leftist Democrat policies, because Oboingo, like Carter, will not be able to keep his mouth shut after he is out of office either.

Need to incapacitate liberals? Just take out their plastic surgeons.

Oh, wait... the trial lawyers are already working on that.

Politicians expect us to trust them.

Well, do they trust us?

If they do, then there’s no worry about all those people with guns. Zero could walk through a crowd of heavily armed citizens without a care in the world because “law abiding” citizens are called that for a very good reason. Even in an openly hostile crowd shouting epithets and even insults at him, no harm would ever come to him. We respect the office of the presidency, even if we don’t care one whit for that skinny jerk. Only the lunatic, crackpot “lone gunman” is the danger.

But if these many politicans DON’T trust us — and there’s every indication that they don’t — then every citizen SHOULD carry a gun, at all times. And get to know his neighbors personally, too.
