Picked up by the Secret Service outside yesterday's town hall for Ben Cardin.
A man who was holding a sign reading "Death to Obama" Wednesday outside a town hall meeting on health care reform in Hagerstown, Md., has been turned over to the Secret Service.This was never about health care to some people, you know.Washington County Sheriff's Capt. Peter Lazich said the sign also read, "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids."
Lazich said U.S. Secret Service agents took the unidentified 51-year-old man into custody Wednesday afternoon after deputies detained him near the entrance to Hagerstown Community College.

Yeah, a lefty would never do anything like that. You think all the nutjobs we saw in the streets since '03 actually cared about Iraq?

Keep it up with the moral equivalency, Serv. You're only proving my point again.
Am I? What point is that exactly?
If you can show me where people outside a town hall held up a sign to kill Bush, his wife, and his children, then you win your moral equivalency argument.
My point is there's a wide gulf between the normal tinfoil craziness and this kind of barbarism.
I'm not making a moral equivalency argument. You were making a hasty generalization. Or something very close to it.
Yes, he's a nut. But these townhall teaparties are driven by people showing up to ask questions and getting the run around. Not by nuts like him.
I remember it starting when Carnahan told people at a townhall we could insure everybody and it would cost less and be deficit neutral. He got laughed at and justifiably so.
No, the town hall teabaggers and their protests are run by astroturf groups like FreedomWorks.
That's perfectly legal and apparently very effective. But let's call this what it is.
Yeah, there's a website where people can sign up to hear where they can show up to protest. That's not astroturfing, that's genuine grass roots.
Not quite the same thing as hiring people to be activists. http://ow.ly/k4z1
Sure Serv. FreedomWorks is just a web site.
