Why would anyone be this nasty and mean? What have we come to as a nation? The hate displayed by this woman is almost indescribable.
Is this what politics as usual will be like in the United States?
Why Are People Stupid?
People are carrying weapons to Obama events in both Arizona and New Hampshire. These weapons include an AR-15 and various loaded handguns.
One of the New Hampshire men was arrested because he was not licensed to be carrying a loaded handgun. A different man was not arrested because he had a license in NH to be carrying the weapon. He also carried a sign expressing the sentiment: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” (Thomas Jefferson) (See video for exact quote.)
Arizona has less restrictive gun laws. About 15 different people attended the VFW Obama event walking around with various loaded weapons. The reason? Because they could. Perhaps the reason for bringing weapons to an event is to intimidate Obama/health care supporters. How do we seperate these knuckleheads from someone who means to do harm to the President or others?
Just because you can do something, does that mean it is advisable, smart, or wise to do? I have not heard Obama on the subject of guns. I believe walking around with a loaded gun at a presidential event is just asking for trouble, dangerous, and frankly, asking for more restrictive gun laws to to be enacted. This behavior is tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded building.
Time to slap a new federal law into place that outlaws guns within a certain distance of any president of the Unitied States except military and secret service. This behavior truly pushes the envelope way too far and it proves nothing. This behavior is extremist, in my opinion.
Glenn Beck’s Advertisers Bolt
Walmart, Best Buy, CVS, and GMAC are among eight major advertisers that have confirmed pulling their advertising from Fox News’ “Glenn Beck” program in light of his comments that President Obama is a racist.
The advertisers did not pull their spots from Fox News, but rather requested that their ads do not air during Beck’s 5PM program.
We have talked about Glenn Beck here on Anti and about disinformation/misinformation. We have certainly had many discussions here about racism, racists, and what makes one a racist. Should there be a price for calling the president a racist?
Apparently, the group behind the letter writing campaign is colorofchange.org. How does this differ from Christian groups conducting letter writing campaigns against things they don’t like?
Of course, Steven Colbert just couldn’t leave poor Glenn alone and comes to his ‘defense.’
