And didn't those people get arrested?

Sure, but they threatened the president's life as tejek was saying. This has nothing to do with the people who showed up with guns. They didn't threaten anyone's life or they, too, would have been arrested.

A small detail, I know...

The small detail is that you're FOS.

"Right. Ever heard of Oswald? Boothe? Guiseppe Zangara? Oscar Collazo or Griselio Torresola?

Did you ever hear of Squeaky Fromme or Sara Jane Moore?

What about John Hinckley or John F. Schrank?"

People commit assasinations in this country. We know they do. But that wasn't my point as much as dave wants it to be. My point was I have never seen so many people talk about and threaten a president with assassination as we are seeing now. In fact, I have never seen such behavior in my life. Just Wed nite, an R running for office in ID talked about taking Obama out. Later, he claimed he was joking.

No matter how often they lose an election....no matter how many people tell them they do not like what they have to offer..........they still think this is their country to do with as they please exclusively. Its very old.
