“What if we bring a grenade and a rocket launcher?”
What if I bring lasagna and some chianti?

Probably right...for a while...but there's a curious thing happening that has them very, very scared. They know these protests aren't planned or astroturfed. They're more or less spontaneous and from old people, conservatives, and Democrats alike...that's what has them scared...

In the end, when they hurt or kill enough, they will find out they don't really have the sheer numbers to stop it. Union goons only number a small percentage of the population and they can't, can't, be everywhere...

It's relatively peaceful for now if you can call it that. What they choose to do from here can escalate this into something historic.

Yes, that is my weapon of choice.

I especially like the 20 grenade projectiles in 4 seconds at 125 yrds. (if I remember the stats)

WE NEED TV ADDS
With Obama saying “they bring a knife, we bring a gun”

With Obama saying “get in their faces”

Then, show the video of the SEIU and ACORN thugs pushing senior citizens around.

ATTACK OBAMA HARD!


Add in the request to forward “fishy” emails also

We need to send this to the RNC. If the RNC started showing ads like this on TV, I might actually donate to them again.

"Thye bring a knife, you bring a gun."

"They put one of ours in the hospital, we put two theirs in the morgue. That's the Chicago Way!"

Sounds like a threat against whom? The American people?

Hitler probably couldn’t do any better, and look at the damage he was responsible for.

Ditto Stalin, ditto Mao, ditto Pol Pot...

Scoffing at Obama because he is a physically unimpressive specimen is worse than stupid.

I have often wondered what it is about the fanatical despots that managed to seduce, ensnare, entrap and lead nations lockstep into tyranny.

Whatever it is, Obama has it.

He hasn’t seduced the entire nation but the percentage that he has is just as fanatical as the hardcore followers of any of the above-mentioned dictators.

We need to be very careful, very thoughtful and very realistic here. America is in more danger now than it has ever been in before.

In The Untouchables, that was how they were supposed to get Capone by bringing a gun. However, the actual way they got Capone was to prosecute him for tax evasion.

At this point, Obama's analogy breaks down, because, judging by his cabinet members, tax evasion is no longer illegal.

I agree with what you say. But 'scoffing' as you call it can have an effect, namely in the reactions it prematurely forces from him when he isn't ready to implement his plan. If he is goaded into an irrational response he may tip his hand.

So, in that regard, I respectfully disagree.

Another HUGE strike against the MSM! Can anyone imagine what kind of hell would have been raised had ANY other candidate Dem or GOP in any election made such a statement when referring to the other party as opposed to a foreign enemy?

Obama should have been drummed totally out of politics for making an inflammatory statement like that. Instead the media who should have brought it to everyones attention stayed silent.

I don’t think even LBJ at his worst would have said such a thing.
