I'd say let the loony Tune rant and rave all he wants as it might wake a few people up as to just how whacked out his rightwing agenda is ==
However i'd be really concerned that this guy has a loaded gun at a public event.

Someone shouldnt be jailed for using their free speech. IE say the movies. Be asked to be removed cool. Jailed No. To many are using " distributing the peace" Just remove the person and let it go.
Heil Hitler
I refuse to explain why the other political stuff was allowed again.

Right. But there was no mention of weapons charges against him. By "loaded" they imply, but don't say, he was carrying a gun and therefore a threat to innocent people. Did anyone see him with a gun during the 10 minute video? The only guns I saw were on the rent-a-cops, who are obviously fine, upstanding American Patriots to wrestle an old veteran to the ground, throw their substantial weight on him, and twist his elderly joints into contortions.

Why wasn't he charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, or some other firearms charge?

So right wingers feel it's ok to assault and harrass people on private property, so long as you are carrying an anti Obama sign. The cops should stay clear because they are infringing on our 1st amendment right to threaten people and carry a gun in public view.

Official Statement Regarding Incident on Fairgrounds 26 August 2010 | Facebook

Because the fairgrounds is on private property, we reserve the right to remove someone from the premises who is creating a disruption or may pose a threat to the safety of others.

We welcome diverse viewpoints and have a structure in place at the Alaska State Fair that allows for peaceful discord and exchange at our vendor and organization booth area.

At the Alaska State Fair, I'd guess he was far from the only person with a loaded weapon.

He also had others complaining to security that he was disrupting the entertainment.
oops, I retract my previous statement. This is a horse of a different color!

I'm glad "arrested by the WH" (!!!!!) was removed from the thread title but it still says the poor little dood was arrested just for carrying an "Impeach Obama" sign. Still flatly UNTRUE.

WOW, and today a British teen gets banned from the US for life for sending the president an e mail saying he thought he was a p*ick. It's getting scary! Has PC overtaken free speech?
