<div>It took you and your friends all day to come up with this? </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You completely missed the point. I'm not bringing up old news. It would
take more time than I care to take to correct the lies and distortions of your

<div><br></div>
<div>The point is I wouldn't have expected you to carry on the way you did
given that you think the first amendment protects free speech, as long as it
is vague (which is the latest version of your defense of members of the
lunitic fringe right if we believe 1 below).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So as long as threats are vague they are protected as free speach!?! And
this principle is backed by what amendment? By what set of cases? By what
argument?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I respect your defense of free speech but you sure pick the strangest
examples -- revisionism about slavery, insults directed at gays and Muslims,
vague threats directed toward a black president coupled with folks weilding
guns attending his speeches. It is almost as if speech has to be at least
insulting to a minority, in addition to being vague. My speech is worthy of
criticism because it wasn't vague and it was directed at a white guy.

protection of free speech even if it's distasteful or inflammatory to
some. I don't believe that for one group it's "the highest form of
patriotism" and for another it's "hate speech." Stupid and
ill-considered remarks are an equal right not a "two wrongs don't make a

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I am going to have to take your word for
the beliefs of "AR-15 toting dude" and friends. As you
probably know, I disagree with most of what you claim they profess. That
said, I don't think that exercising a protected right qualifies as a
vague threat. Arizona, along with Idaho are open carry states and as
such what AR15td was doing was completely legal. If that makes someone
"uncomfortable" or scared that is their right as well. Americans are
entitled to their feelings. I find your attitude in this regard strange
however. This (Idaho) being a concealed carry state as well as
open, the number of firearms that surround you on a daily basis is
rather large. Every major group you are among contains dozens of
lethal pieces of hardware. Do you find this debilitating?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">So, your qualms in order. Where you feel
"comfortable" is a purely personal concern. It is not the responsibility
of others. Speaking strictly for myself, tie dye and the public
display of hacky sacks makes me a little queasy but I suck it
up and deal.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Second and third, the waste of
resources issue is a non-starter. The SS and law enforcement is there
anyway and the way the government wastes resources, this doesn't even
amount to a tiny portion of a drop in the bucket. If this is truly a
concern for you, a better, easier, and cheaper solution would be
for you to insist that the president stay in the whitehouse and try to
accomplish something useful and stop with the 24/7/365 campaign for
adulation.</font></div>

owners will suddenly become unhinged and commence with a recreation of
the OK corral? That the guns will suddenly develop a mind of their own
(shades of the dumbest of Steven King's pap) and turn on their owners?
Or are you suggesting, as a great many of those with your "strong and

away to cover for some vague and unlikely possibility and to make
another group a little more at ease?</font></div>

<div><br></div>Gary --<br><br>I'm just not sure on your position here.
Do you think people should be making vague threats against the
President or not? Or are you just accusing the liberals here of being
hypocrites without taking a position yourself?<br><br>Here's your way
out. I'm a little confused as to why you didn't take it: <br><br>These
aren't my people; I'm not responsible for them. They're crazy; I'm
not. The assault rifle guys are from the We The People Foundation,
which is an advocacy organization for tax protesters. They're also
birthers. They print their own money. They want to return to the gold
standard. They believe the Venezuelan government stole the last US
election by tampering with US voting machines. They bear little, if
any, relationship to you -- by which I mean, "the near side of the far
right." I find some of your beliefs distasteful; however, I find them
comprehensible. Not so much with these lunatics.<br><br>I also
mentioned that I found the protester with the AR-15 a little scary.
<br><br>He showed up at a Presidential rally toting an assault rifle.
His pastor's praying for Obama's death. He won't disavow an intent to
kill the President while being interviewed on television,. His buddy
showed up with a rifle and a threatening sign at the New Hampshire
rally. There's a difference between a vague threat delivered by a
puppet-wielding sociology undergrad across the country and a threat
delivered by a militia gunman a block away. <br><br>Neither, you
might note, is likely to actually to kill the President. That's not,
however, what I'm worried about. First, I have a lot of strong and
contrary political beliefs. I'm uncomfortable expressing them with my
back to military-grade firearms. I think this is reasonable. Second,
an armed and licensed person a block away from the President is a
waste of resources, given that it's probably a good idea to keep a
Secret Service sniper on him at all times. Third, keeping a Secret
Service sniper on fifty gun-toting militia members is a logistical
nightmare, and there appears to be no good way to prevent fifty
gun-toting idiots from showing up. Fourth, the introduction of
firearms to a situation with a lot of shouting and pushing,
threatening signs, twitchy cops, and security cordons is an awful
idea. Someone will get hurt. It is unlikely to be Obama, but that
doesn't mean I don't care.<br><br>-- ACS<br><br><br><br>
