(CNN just can't help themselves but to emphasize the white guy was shouting anti-Obama things, whereas we just don't have 'good tape' on what that black guy was saying...I'm sure it was impossible for them to get better quality of that interview, i mean they're only a global news organization...Sanchez:"I just can't hear what he's saying, can you?"

August 17, 2009 Men tote assault rifles at Obama event Posted: August 17th, 2009 09:03 PM ET

At least two men were spotted carrying assault rifles outside Obama's speech.

(CNN) – At least two Arizona men brought assault rifles to President Obama’s speech Monday to the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Phoenix.

CNN’s Ed Henry reported that one of the men was carrying an AR-15 assault rifle and shouted anti-Obama slogans. The men remained outside the convention center where the president was speaking. Henry said U.S. Secret Service and local police were "very much aware" of the situation and were paying close attention to the men.

However, Arizona is an open-carry state, meaning it's legal to carry firearms in public as long as they are visible.

” I’m sorry rick, we must be having technical difficulties. Let’s bad mouth the white guy some more.

Also, I can’t verify it, but a person here just told me a another person they were talking to thinks they may have seen a white person with a sign that may have looked very similar to a swaztika. Back to you rick.”

Most likely democrats are testing the waters before they stage their Reichstag Fire.

I never suspected the democrats would stage one solitary event, but a series of small, isolated events that lead up to a gigantic event.

Today's scenario was probably a probe.

These people are amazing. Law abiding citizens with guns out in the open is just so dang scary to them.

What’s really scary is being out there unarmed with SEIU thugs running around.

Does anyone but me find it very suspicious that there are NO PHOTOS of the rifle guy who was shouting the anti-Obama slogans?

Hello?????

You would think that the SRM newsies would be on that guy like stink on a skunk.

But nope. Nothing...

Noget er "fishy" i Danmark...

TOTES? Assault weapons are “toted”?

Anyone see a CNN report about a place in Bozeman MT that had a $10 Barack Burger for sale last week? The place is one of many owned by Ted Turner.

The primary reason to suspect they are liberals planted in the conservative crowd.

In my experience, you needn’t worry about liberals touching or going near any sort of firearm. They’re TERRIFIED of them.

CNN reporter on the scene: “I had never seen an AR-15 up close, within a couple of feet!”

LOL

Where do they get these turkeys?

On the other hand, it gets the sheeple more used to the idea that it *is* a right, after all, and that people exercising it are pretty normal. Like the black gentleman in the video at this link appears to be.

Criminals(Liberals) are not terrified of firearms. They are just terrified when law abiding United States citizens(as in a well regulated militia), are carrying them.

Anything that gets the attention of the out of touch Congresscritters is a good thing.

Watch the video. The guy with the rifle is black and surrounded by SEIU shirts. Interesting. The "journalists" keep trying to imply it is "evil conservatives" that have them concerned. Hmmm...

Yes, it shows the sorry state the country is in when people are shocked to see a citizen out in public with his rifle slung over his shoulder.

Rather than being shocked that there are still places where in this country where this can happen, people should be appalled that there are places where it is illegal.
