MSNBC is having an on air meltdown over a man their camera crew videotaped openly carrying a handgun at an anti-Obama protest in Portsmouth, New Hampshire this morning near where Barack Obama will be holding a town hall meeting later today.

MSNBC showed footage of the man with the gun openly holstered to his right leg. He was holding a large sign with words about the tree of liberty.

The Portsmouth police chief informed MSNBC the man was legally armed.

The man was reportedly standing with a group of protesters on the property of a church.

More as this develops.

That's funny.

Disgusting.

Possibly true.

But funny.

With union thugs beating up unarmed citizens at these meetings and protests, its a damn good thing to have someone armed as we now know that the police don’t stop the violence....grow a backbone people

Uh, so you can sell your cloak and buy Christ’s word? No, I don’t think that’s what he’s talking about. I think he’s saying SI DISEDERAT PACEM PREPARASCAT BELLUM.

The pics and video of this will be plastered all over the MSM until support for the Tea Party concept has dropped 20%.

I have a feeling America is almost fully awake, or close to it. The MSM is going to be hopeless in shutting this movement down. The time is now folks........................

OK FOLKS....

Check out the whining about this from the morons at KOS!

They would GLADLY take this guy's Constitutional rights away!! A few are trying to explain the LAWS to these hate-filled liberal idiot, but the general consensus is already that this guy is a HATE-FILLED RACIST, bent on INTIMIDATION in the style of the KK!

Ya’ gotta see this...

You are absolutely correct, and it is not isolated to DU and Daily Kos. Here is a Twitter response that I received yesterday by making a simple defense of FR:

“douglbutt @TX_1 Justice Sotomayor will make sure you serve your sentence in a maximum security mental institution”

“1 day ago from Perl Net::Twitter”

Another interesting observation, when I made a statement he felt not complimentary of Obozo, it simply vanished from Twitter. No trace. Magicked away.

Some Lefties have figured a way to remove posts or replies selectively from the system. And it is an organized propaganda effort. Many participants that are coordinated.

a hand gun that fell out of his coat

"Fell out", as in "dropped"? People too stupid to secure their weapons should leave them home.

Yeah I was being sarcastic, read my other posts. I hope this guy is police ex-military that would just be great for our side to show hey just because he is not on the clock doesn’t mean he can’t possess his weapon responsibly. Wow talk about civilizing the discourse, it will. That is unless the Panter Poll workers with their nightsticks show up.

Of course it’s the ‘blood of tyrants’ line. But most MSM idiots and Obama supporters wouldn’t recognize it. It’s like if we had a sign out there that only said “When in the course of human events...”

Like it or not, it’s a sign of things to come. If this bill passes, our freedom diminishes immensley. This battle WILL come down to defending ourselves in the streets. It’s time the opposition got a clue,

They didn’t over react.

With the ACORN and SEIU thugs there? If it’s not against the law, you’re damned right I’d be armed as well! Let them realize that we are peaceful, until THEY start crap. Remember, the British fired first, on unarmed citizens, will you be next?

If I were a betting man, I would say that the guy carrying a handgun to a protest probably doesn't make a living in marketing and advertising.

While it is his right to carry a gun, I'm not sure of the wisdom of doing so given the current climate. The media is desperately trying to accuse town hall participants of being raving nuts so that it don't have to deal with the substance of their complaints. The gun just plays into the scenario that they are trying to paint.

I'm guessing that the gun would give pause to SEIU thugs, though.

Open carry is required by law in New Hampshire unless you have a government-issued license to conceal.

No doubt a Secret Service sniper was poised to bust a cap into his head if he’d reached for the gun while the President was in the area.

Unlikely. Otherwise an assassin could distract the Secret Service by having a few openly armed people wandering around while the assassin stays concealed. They'll just make sure he stays out of the restricted perimeter.

"I think being “legally armed” is prudent given the 0bama thugs that are likely to show up."

Plus the FACT, which is matter of public record, that Obama issued orders like a mafia boss man for his union and acorn goons to "get in their faces" and go "hit them back trice as hard".

I would hope anyone involved in an altercation with these union thugs has a good lawyer with the sense to name Obama as the one who ordered the assault.
