Lufkin, Texas Woman Questioned by Secret Service [Includes Email Attrib. to Hughes' Neighbor]
Gather.com ^ | 10/31/08

Posted on 11/02/2008 7:17:31 AM PST by Oyarsa

A Lufkin, Texas woman received an unsolicited phone call on her cell-phone from an Obama campaign volunteer. That alone wouldn't make me a very happy camper either, to be honest. So I can understand her response. The volunteer, is a member of the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.

As taken from Chron.com; "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."

The call was made by the Obam-ite on Wednesday, Oct. 1st. By Thursday, the Secret Service was already at her door to question her about an alleged "death threat" she made against Sen. B. Hussein Obama. 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." Hughes said her words were deliberately twisted by a volunteer who was apparently unhappy Hughes was rude during a phone conversation.

Yesterday my daughters dorm at NC State was swarmed by Obamabots going door to door in a resident only facility. Needless to say, many of the students were creeped out by this. The students went out and bought McCain-Palin t-shirts in a show of retaliation. Many also put McCain posters in their windows. Additionally I was at the Palin rally in Raleigh and noticed alot of students there. I think O and the demos have overplayed their hand. Even if O wins (which I dont think he will), I think young people will be the ones who will oppose his policies.

Because that girl on the phone doesn't have the pull to send the Secret Service to my home. Someone high in the ranks of a campaign working for a man who may be the next President of the United States of America felt comfortable bringing the force of the Federal Government to bear on a private citizen on nothing but the word of a partisan volunteer.

Exactly! It wasn't the volunteer who sent out the secret police. It was a highly place Obama operative.

This is terrifying! Even more terrifying are the replies after the original article, apparently not one single person understood what was going on there. Our country is in serious trouble.
