Violent Signs, Gun, Standoff Latest in Emerging Anger Towards the President

...

The Secret Service is investigating a Maryland man who held a sign reading "Death to Obama" and "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids" outside a town hall meeting this week. And in New Hampshire, another man stood across the street from a Presidential town hall with his gun on full display.

Los Angeles police officers apprehended a man Thursday after a standoff with him inside a red Volkswagen Bug car in Westwood, CA  the latest disturbing case even though officials said the man had mental problems.

...

"It's certainly a scary time," said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, now an ABC News consultant. Garrett said the Secret Service "cannot afford to pass on anyone," and he believes "they really do fear that something could happen to ."

Garrett said statements like one recently made by controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh comparing a logo for the White House plan to a Nazi symbol "legitimizes people who are on the edge to go do something or say something."

...

While officials told ABC News that the President's daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats, White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if Obama objects.

Um, I think by definition all of these people have "mental problems."

8. "Mental Problem"...

The republicans always have some kind of lame assed excuse to throw out there and if that don't work they say Gawd forgave them already, because they vote repub.

If I go to the whorehouse I'm a Adulterous Criminal, a "John" and a sinful, low life, whore monger. If Dave Vitter goes he's the "Honorable David Vitter" who Gawd secretly forgave and told, "it's okay to go out catting around on his wife."

5. People like that guy is why I stay at home these days and protest...

I'm an old white guy and just hearing about that guy's signs, really pisses me off. To threaten a lady and her little kids is just totally screwed up. Now think about the way the GOPers bitched about what Letterman said and let's compare those two cases.

I can't stand a bully...never could.

If anyone in America is, or ever was, connected with the real NAZIS, it's the Bush family.
