One heavily armed woman scouted out a military base to plan a terrorist attack against it because Glenn Beck convinced her it was a FEMA camp.

I realize Clinton faced the same irrational fear before going down as one of the most successful presidents, but I'm increasingly concerned Obama won't survive long enough to reach that point.
Most of your post, particularly the part about crashing meetings, is eerily reminiscent of what the left did with Bush Jr. How many times did we see Code Pink disrupting events?

The bottom line is that there are idiots on both sides of the political fence, and because they're idiots, they get camera time. There are no more or less on either side, and their numbers are very few.

If you really believe that Obama's in any more danger than any other President in modern history, then you're not really thinking things through very well. Personally, I think you were just looking for a reason to take a cheap shot at the right. It's your stock in trade.

A shotgun? Really? That's ridiculous.

The public, both Democrat and Republican are becoming incensed over the reckless abandon of our congress and now congress is getting a huge backlash. Make no mistake, these people are not right wing hacks. I know several very liberal democrats that are quite upset with the crap that's trying to be forced down the american public's throats at a record pace. I think more people are angry at congress because without them, none of this stuff would get through. I'll bet Nancy Pelosi won't show her face at a town hall meeting.

You cant post like this here. The hypnotized obamabots do not see this. They only see evil Republicans. Interesting how Republicans are the complete minority but the Obamatrons somehow blame them for congress' failures. The Democratic Congress has a 30% approval rate..30%.
Worse then W's when he left.

so..... how many leftist protestors (or leftists period) killed people in incidents like these during the 8 years of the bush administration?

2 Shot Inside DC Holocaust Museum (http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/061009_2_shot_inside_dc_holocaust_museum - broken link)

3 Pittsburgh Police Officers Shot Dead; Alleged Gunman Arrested - Allegheny County News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh

hell, the holocaust museum shooter is a birther! but that ideology's not dangerous at all, no....

during the clinton administration there was an armed right-wing militia movement (and the oklahoma city bombing, among other things). the militia rhetoric on right-wing radio is coming back; i'm not sure if the militias are. but some protestors overturning a dumpster is *totally* comparable!

and saying obama is in no more danger than bush completely ignores the fact that death threats have increased exponentially.

Wow... they really did hand it to him on a platter.

It's funny how they talk about a "civil discussion", but then don't want others to speak. That's probably because when others speak, like the vetern did, right after this "representative" repeated the propaganda about the VA being a well run organization, they end up looking like Marie Antoinette... "let them eat cake"!!

And we all know what happened shortly after she uttered those famous words!

YouTube - The Cost of Media Bias
Yeah, Obama lied during a debate as well as an interview and said McCain people were screaming "Kill him", I was at the rally and NO ONE screamed out "KILL HIM". The only screaming there was, was from some left nut job who was disrupting Palin and McCain's speeches. Of course there were also the Obama fans wearing their T shirts that said " Palin is a CUN%". But no Obama threats.

Just more of their lies.

That "piece of SH*T" as you called him is a VET who put his A$$ on the line for you and this country. Did you hear him? He was arguing only because they are now trying to lie and say VA hospitals are successful. I would think a Vet should know better than anyone how a VA hospital is.

You are a disgrace.
