This is no different than what Massachusetts congressman Mike Capuano (Democrat) said recently,
“I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary,” Rep. Mike Capuano (D-Ma.) told a crowd in Boston on Tuesday rallying in solidarity for Wisconsin union members."
Hey, at least Broun wasn't the one calling for violence like Capuano did.

Are you on drugs? Are you freaking crazy? Some one asking Who' going to shot the President of the United States is a lot different than a legislator saying something about getting a little bloody during a protest. He never called for anybody to be shot. There is no comparison, so i guess you condone asking "whos going to shoot the POTUS". You no longer have any credibility.

In the whacked out world of the right, everything is justified.. whether it be a threat on the Prez life or openly violating the constitution.. very sick individuals..

Some people are on drugs Flex...some are on disability and take pain killers and just sit home feeling sorry for themselves, but allow me to digress! But no, I am not on any medications of any kind Flex, thanks for asking.
Both are examples of stupid people saying stupid things. At least the republican guy had nothing to do with what that guy said while the Capuano was the one what ACTUALLY SAID his idotic comment.
Too many people are angry and talking violence and it's ALL inexcuseable!
Wouldn't you agree?

Re: GOP lawmaker asked about shooting Obama at Town Hall Meeting
Wow...
Assuming this is as it seems (not saying it isnt or trying to defend it) how much lower as a society and culture can we get? Its things like this that make me think we as a people wont ever find the common ground to dust ourselves off and get back to a "good" place socially/economically etc. We are too filled with hate and mistrust (not to mention, as evidence by this clown, stupidity).
To PR's point about the Rep from MA. PR, do you honestly feel that what Capuano said even comes close to what this crackpot in GA said? Im not agreeing with or defending what either man said, but it seems like these two statements arent even close to each other on the negative scale. I mean to me, this guy in GA took it to an 11.
And Darryl, I think there are many people on the right that would disagree whole heartedly with what this person asked on principal alone. Would the asshats that are the prominent names "of the right" currently, maybe not, but i dont feel like many "mainstream" rights would say that what this person asked reflects their beliefs or thoughts, and would condone it outright.

You cannot say that about the president.
The person asking the question should be reported.
I do wonder if reflexblue and darryls would be outraged, if someone said
this about George Bush when he was president.

"...but these go to 11."
My point is that Broun had nothing to do with the man's comment, so why associate him with it like he was "in on it"? If someone asked me who was going to shoot the president, I know I wouldn't be guilty of anything. Why is anyone here trying to link Paul Broun to this guy's comment?
But with Capuano, HE ACTUALLY SAID IT....
HUGE difference here folks!!

BINGO joe!!!
According to the linked article the Congressman contacted the Secret Service reporting the man to them so they could investigate.
And I agree with the second point also, althought i wouldnt direct it at flex and darryl speficially. I didnt post here for all of bush's years (and clearly dont post much now), but during his tenure there were some pretty hate filled things lobbed his way too, and no one on the left really came out denoucing it as it was bush. It's either always wrong or its never wrong; Ii side with it is always wrong, regardless of my thoughts of the POTUS.

So if Broun reported the guy to the secret service, why is Flex trying to make him out to be someone bad in all this. As far as I can see, Broun did absolutely nothing wrong.
