In Bush's day, they would follow you home and if you lived in section 8 housing, you would lose it. If you job got Government funding, you would lose it. If you attempted to fly on a plane, guess what?

It's about time. I hope the guy gets put through a major hassle - maybe go on vacation for a bit courtesy of the federal government.

I wish I could say I was suprised by this...

So let me get this straight: a sign "no", a gun "yes"?

Hello gitmo. Sounds like an enemy combatant t o me. Gitmo will teach his cretin a lesson

Yes, I'd like to see the Secret Service investigating Beck and Limpbaugh for their incitement. They have been yelling "fire" in the theater for months now.

Folks contact the local and msm with this - requesting they cover it - it only takes 3 minutes to fire off an email. It's up on HuffPo too - this needs to appear on the national networks. It's all going too far. I fear that someone is going to get hurt if this keeps up.

I'm relieved that the Secret Service got involved. What kind of monster threatens our president's children? I expect more threats against Obama will be found on his computer too.

This is one indication that majority of the right does NOT wish for a dialogue of any sort. They absolutely hate everybody who disagrees with them. In their minds, we are not their countrymen with an alternative view, we are their mortal enemies.

Their dream was for a world of myth, run by a white, John Wayne father figure, constantly vanquishing over non-believers, constantly demonizing the poor, for ever and ever. We, by not participating in their dream, are destroying them. And thus they hate us.

Meanwhile, we want to discuss prescription drug coverage. So, this dialogue ain't going anywhere.

There will be no other way to deal with them. We must essentially destroy their political parties, keep them down like caged dogs. Every time they seize power, we must expect a loss of civil liberties, an expansion of executive privilege, an assault on democracy. We musn't take them seriously or dialogue on a peer level, but take them as they are, sworn enemies.

Hopefully, we can come out the other side a democracy where the remaining factions can still speak to each other as peers and citizens.

Ahh, remember the good old days when wearing an anti-Bush T shirt or displaying a No Blood for Oil bumper sticker could get you in trouble with the Bushies.

The Irony being that the most virulent of these "protesters" seem also to be the very people who would benefit from a healthcare reform option... as in anti-psychotic medications!
