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.

A plant wouldn’t be standing there quietly holding a sign. He’d be brandishing.

The sight of a gun on television could make Keith Olberman wet Chris Matthews’ bed.

Wow! Two for the price of one. Game, set and match.

Exactly, there is no longer any “dialoge” to be had, they have gone too far and need to remember the one thing they truly fear is our ability to defend ourselves with firearms.
They are criminals against the Constitution plain and simple not just words and metaphors they truly are CRIMINALS AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTION. So it is up to ‘We The People’ to govern our country back to where it belongs. I don’t give a rats butt what the msm portray of all this as they are gonna demonize and discredit no matter what!
This display by an American will not cause anyone to change their minds and suddenly be FOR odumbo’s deathcare, that is just STUPID THINKING! It will shock some and obviously has touched a nerve or two here but really it is only because we have been indoctrinated into fear of even the sight of a weapon or what the intentions of it are. Timing is in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be any where near him if he were to make any sudden moves. Just because you can do something doesn’t always mean you should.

Totally disagree. Right now it’s not about the Left. They know where we stand. It’s about the 40-60 % of America who are up for grabs. Right now they’re not supporting health care, but they don’t want people walking the streets with weapons. Most Americans don’t live in places like Williams Arizona where a cowboy can walk into a diner for breakfast carrying his pistol on his hip. If we make this about “they’re the commies and we have the guns” our side loses.We have a chance to take back power in govt in a way the Constitution intended. We are not at that place yet, where the road leads only to Concord Bridge.

Let me make that point stronger:

BHO is willing to go that far to ENFORCE his plan.

LMAO! The "reporter" is probably from one of those cities that illegally ban handguns, he/she has never seen such a thing before.

Citizens exercising their constitutional rights!! Oh my! RUN!!

“ACORN and the SEIU union thugs can’t push us around and beat us up if we have guns -—”

I bought a 16 in steel baton that flicks open online. I taped the holster to my ankle when attending tea parties.

Some union thug is in for a big surprise.

Breathtaking to think how quickly our RKBA would’ve evaporated if it hadn’t been enshrined in the Bill of Rights. I doubt it would’ve survived more than a few generations. The problem with America is there are just way too many people here who don’t like freedom. B***ards should all be bundled up and shipped out.

Hmmm. The media piddle down their legs while someone is ready to defend against being beaten by thugs. I guess this means either the opposition will have to behave themselves more civilly or up the ante.

The man was exercising TWO of his constitutional rights,

Many in America would argue that only the MILITA is allowed to have firearms. Obama heading that way now that he has Soto on SCOTUS and as soon as he can JAMDOWN the health care takeover, the CAP and TAX program, and AMNESTY for illegal aliens.
