An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.

The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read "Abort Obama, not the unborn."

Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.

''I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything wrong," Harrison said in a recent phone interview.

When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not.

Yes, but your presence here proves that you are. /s

The definition of "hate group" is getting way too broad to feel in any way relieved by what the SS did. Remember the Missouri State Police "Truth Squad?"

Expect the race card to be played more than the ace of spades in Vegas.

Fascust Lesson 101: 1) Sue the police officer for false arrest and harassment 2) Sue the SS agents for harrasment and violation of civil rights, freedom of speech, DO NOT GIVE THEM AN INCH.

This was no mistake. This officer voted for The Messiah and it is his way to express his frustration with how is choice is turning out.

"make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."

This isn't chilling or anything.

The Secret Service calls ahead?!

Just before the election I noticed a guy I know offloading goods into the store he works. In was night, cold and so I pitched in. We were discussing politics and the black security guard got all hot and bothered as he didn't like what I was saying about his personal Lord and Savior, Obama.

I spoke the truth and my opinion, it wasn't like I was cursing the man. The security guard said he was going to - get this - “ arrest me “. Then he started screwing around with his cell phone and said “ I better call for back up “. But he didn't, he was pretending to make such a call.

I told him to go right ahead and after I beat the hell out of him, his backup and any other of his pals I'd sue the living crap out of the store. My pal got nervous and asked me to head home. I did...but not until I spent a few more minutes waiting for Shaft to “ arrest “ me.

If it is like this after one month, what will it be like after four years?

[The nucleus of the thought came after that NY Post editorial cartoon and I was trying to think of what Sean Delonas really meant.]

The mass hysteria Al Sharpton is stirring up over this cartoon should provide the answer to Eric Holder's question about why blacks and whites don't discuss racial issues at the office water cooler.

‘’When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren’t going to ransack my house or anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn’t a part of any hate groups.”

*jaw drop* Dear Lord...

''When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."

Here's what I don't understand: rational thought would dictate that, since abortion as an act of brutality against the weakest and most innocent epitomizes hate, those pushing for it would be the haters.

''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said."

With or without a Warrant?

If he let them in without a warrant he should fire his lawyer!
