You know at the SEArchlight rally, there were “cowboy types” with guns holstered... I didn’t give it a second thought, nor did I worry they were going to shoot anyone. I saw it as a right that we have here in Nevada! I was actually smiling everytime I saw one of them thar “Cartwright” types :)

Obama is just another Chicago purveyor of hate speech, inciting leftists to violence. When is the democrat party going to denounce him?!

because the GOP is too stupid to bring this up....let’s not forget- zero also encouraged violence later in the campaign when he exhorted his loyal disciples to “get in the face of McCain supporters” during a speech in Nevada...

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.

Parallels:

Fall of the Soviet Union

Snip: this project of creating a unified, centralized socialist state proved problematic for several reasons. First, the Soviets underestimated the degree to which the non-Russian ethnic groups in the country (which comprised more than fifty percent of the total population of the Soviet Union) would resist assimilation into a Russianized State. Second, their economic planning failed to meet the needs of the State, which was caught up in a vicious arms race with the United States. This led to gradual economic decline, eventually necessitating the need for reform. Finally, the ideology of Communism, which the Soviet Government worked to instill in the hearts and minds of its population, never took firm root, and eventually lost whatever influence it had originally carried.



By the time of the 1985 rise to power of Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union's last leader, the country was in a situation of severe stagnation, with deep economic and political problems which sorely needed to be addressed and overcome......

... this POS turd in the WH can joke about using guns against our own citizens...

With a stunt like that, this asshole of a president is fanning the flames of an all out revolution in this country.

Some will not perceive Obama's comment as a joke... I don't, since he's provoking us, and I don't like it.

Obama is so smug sometimes - he musta watched The Untouchables the night before ...

But he shoulda said the quote right:

“He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!”

BTW:

Omertà is a code of silence that forbids mafiosi from betraying their comrades to the authorities. The penalty for transgression is death, and relatives of the turncoat may also be murdered.

Note to Feds: Not a threat - just a quote from Wikipedia ...

He’s one slip from a Tiger Woods like beating and a likewise precipitous fall from grace. A pathetic loser.

The president is obviously inciting violence by using such provocative words as "knife" and "gun", and invoking the imagery of a "fight." The leaders of his party have a responsibility to have him tone down his rhetoric, otherwise they will bear the responsibility of his actions.

I think that's how it goes, isn't it?

If a conservative had said thisit would be advocating violence. But since the socialist pos poser president saaid it,it’s just business as usualandif it brings about violence, then it’s Bush’s fault anyway.
