Secret Service visits Lufkin woman after 'death threat' allegation from an Obama campaign volunteer

A Lufkin woman received a surprise visit from the Secret Service last week because of a "death threat" comment she reportedly made about Sen. Barack Obama to a campaign volunteer asking for her support of the presidential candidate.
Two federal agents arrived at Jessica Hughes' home Thursday to ask her if she said, "I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."
Jessica Savage/The Lufkin Daily News (ENLARGE) Jessica and Micah Hughes say two Secret Service agents showed up on their doorstep Thursday after a campaign volunteer for Sen. Barack Obama accused her of making a 'death threat' during a phone conversation a day earlier.
Hughes said her words were deliberately twisted by a volunteer who was apparently unhappy Hughes was rude during a phone conversation the two had. The Lufkin mother, a Republican, said she received a call on her cell phone Wednesday from a woman with the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.
"She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, 'No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.' (And then) I hung up."
(Hughes is referring to a "born alive" Illinois bill that did not pass in the Illinois state Senate in 2005 and had previously been opposed by Obama because he said it undermined Roe v. Wade, according to FactCheck.org, a non-partisan organization. A federal version of the bill, which Obama said he would have supported, passed by unanimous consent and was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002.)
Obama Campaign Communications for Texas director Josh Taylor declined to comment Monday, refusing to answer any questions and referring the matter to the Secret Service, which he said is conducting an investigation. A message left with a Secret Service agent in Houston was not immediately returned.
Hughes said she was surprised to see two Secret Service agents at her door, and upset to learn that the conversation she had with the volunteer apparently had not been recorded.
"I find it hard to believe that (campaign volunteers) don't tape these calls. They call people unsolicited and they aren't monitoring the calls or recording them? I think that is absolutely ridiculous," she said.
"I mean, how often must this happen — that someone is rude to a volunteer that they don't want to talk to?"
Hughes said she wants to file a countercomplaint against the volunteer.
"She has made a charge that will follow me the rest of my life," she said.
"I find that repugnant and violating — that some person got her undies in a bundle because she didn't like what I had to say."
Obama started this racial divide by playing the race card. I don’t even want to picture him on the currency which he obviously has fantasized about. HOW DARE he compare himself to George Washington, Ben Franklin, the other guys on the bigger bills.
This is what I have been saying, we may end up in a civil war mess.
Obama loves China, the parts we see and probably the parts we don’t see.
Peace corps? No thanks. Obama’s world view overlooks all the unchallenged violence out there.
Hi, BB. ck out my tag line.
Love it!
HAMPTON, Va. - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) said Tuesday that the Bush administration has done nothing to defuse a "quiet riot" among blacks that threatens to erupt just as riots in Los Angeles did 15 years ago.
The first-term Illinois senator said that with black people from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast still displaced 20 months after Hurricane Katrina, frustration and resentments are building explosively as they did before the 1992 riots.
"This administration was colorblind in its incompetence," Obama said at a conference of black clergy, "but the poverty and the hopelessness was there long before the hurricane.

Keep them talking. Engage them as long as you can with stupid questions because the more time they waste with you, the less time they can try to influence someone else.
It will be interesting to take note of this event, however. They certainly seem to be up to some shenanigans in this election. Lets see if these kind of things start cropping up in other parts of the country.
Obama is already hooked up. He has a network of truth squad Secret Service cadres within the Secret Service? Obama is a clear and present danger to our nation. He demonstrates that he has a fascist sub-network already in place.
One question. Were the agents who interrogated Jessica Hughes either black , Muslim, or both?
And no I am not a racist.
I am a realist, just like Jessica Hughes.
Apparently just as he suggested to his cousin Raila in Kenya, the leader of the "Orange Democratic Movement". When cousin Raila lost the election he pushed riots and ethnic cleansing resulting in thousands dead and 500,000 refugees. This is going to hit the fan on Monday, I hear, when Sean Hannity interviews the author Corlis(?) exposes the whole thing. Using our tax dollars and the dignity of his office as US Senator, Obama campaigned for this socialist thug cousin who had promised Muslims to install Islamic law if he was elected. Churches were burned and a once stable country was turned upside down.
I am under the impression that the United States government is obligated to serve the people.
This Obama supporter lied to a federal agent. Arrest her, now.
Yes, I wonder if they were actually agents. I hope we find out more of this story. And I hope it gains traction.
It is criminal to file a false report and the woman who worked for the Obama campaign should be facing several weeks of jail time. Just as the boyfriend who called the cops on Lawrence and the other sodomite in Texas was sentenced for making a false report.
You will find some of your best support for your days ahead right here.
In my opinion you may have a viable complaint to make with the Federal Election Commission concerning the conduct of the "unamed" Obama campaign worker. In America, elections do not work in this way, with the SS doing the Obama truth squad/thought police work for him. The officers also may have abused their positions by opening an investigative file on you for being impolite on the phone. If the Obama campaign contacts me, I will be just as impolite.
Note that I tried your blog link you provided: (ywc.bogtownhall.com) and my browser came up with "no such page" I did a search, and got one google reference to bogtownhall.com pages under another blogger, but I was autoswitched to michaelmedved.townhall.com pages. Please give us an updated link if you have it.
I would love to keep up on your postings on your blog.
Obama is a fascist. A genuine fascist. Be careful, and scream to high heavens if you are harassed or threatened in any way. Let us Freepers know.We make more noise per pound than any other collection of beasties in the Galaxy.
I hate to think that the SS has a left wing radical sub-network within it. If so, we are ALL in deep trouble.Most SS people do not engage in Unamerican activity.
Ask the Duke atheletics department how far a prosecutor will go. Ask Murtha and our troops how far a prosecutor will go. Ask Tom DeLay, former speaker of the House how far a prosecutor will go. NO convictions. But lots of prosecutorial abuse. You don’t want to become an enemy of the State in the Obamanation.
Good grief!
This reminds me of some of the Clinton episodes.
I hope this lady takes them to the mats!
Thank you for the post and ping!
this would set bill O’R hair on fire too
