It's childish, foolish, and the actions of someone who has lost an argument and/or debate. I expected better of Obama since he's such an eloquent speaker. Perhaps his followers need to learn more about effective speech. But go ahead, try to shout me down.
Then professional sporting events are extremely violent. We should avoid them at all costs.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face"

Ummm this is actually ILLEGAL and if someone does this to you call the police

and file a threat report or a fight situation report with the POLICE....

No. A professional sporting event is willingly attended by people where the fan goes in KNOWING the type of behavior that CAN happen in the stands. However, the home teams management has never said to "scream in the face of those that disagree with you".

It's disturbing that you can't see the difference here. Perhaps you should avoid the elections at all costs.

Oh, how I hope one (or more) of them comes to my home and "gets in my face." I have large dogs, a gun, and the Texas-honored right to use them.

Bring 'em on!

It demonstrates the infinite stupidity of the ideology that drives this buffoon. Every other segment of society is supposed to be sensitive to the cultures of others. Here he is being insensitive. The idiot didn't realize that such behavior is a prelude to physical confrontation in inner-cities and rural areas (for many of us).

These idiots... Just like Clinton... He makes up rules about sexual harassment and he can't even follow them himself. What a putz.

My God the fallout we would have seen had it been any Republican said this tripe. But you dems go ahead and try to practice what he's preaching here. No harm will come to you in any way.
Not if they're wearing the standard party brown shirt.

Kind of sad that you'd have to resort to weapons to respond to a spirited conversation about political ideas, which is what Obama is encouraging.

If it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't use a firearm... I'd just punch them in the throat.
