Georgia Lawmaker Is Asked: When Will Someone Shoot Obama?
Politics Daily ^ | Feb. 25, 2011 | Tom Diemer

Talk about lack of civility. Georgia Rep. Paul Broun couldn't have expected this question as he opened the floor for discussion at a recent town hall meeting in the college town of Athens. One unidentified man in the crowd reportedly asked him: "Who's going to shoot Obama?"

The Republican lawmaker said Friday he was "stunned" by the remark and chose "not to dignify it with a response." He said the culprit was an elderly man in the audience.

An Athens Banner-Herald reporter covering the event Tuesday couldn't make out the precise wording in the crowded Oglethorpe Couty Commission chamber, but heard the laughter that followed it. There is some dispute about what exactly happened next.

A union goon would probably the first candidate since they live for violence and if lord 0 became expendable to worldwide struggle of the workers, first on the speedial. Maybe there is “Evil Henchmen Monthly” magazine to put an ad in?

‘Can We Get Someone To Shoot Sarah Palin?’: Twitter Users Call for Palin’s Death

January 11, 2011

The tweets are stunning, disturbing, and downright shocking.

After the left shamelessly began its campaign to connect Saturday’s shooting to Sara Palin, Twitter users quickly picked up on the sentiment and responded with violent, hateful speech. Some were succinct: “I hope Sarah Palin dies.” Others were prophetic: “So…will everyone be satisfied then when Palin is assassinated? You know she’s next.” And some were downright vulgar: “Palin is a murdering bi*** who deserves a crosshair on HER house so Al-Qaeda can come shoot HER family. See how that feels, republican trash.”

The left will make this guy a martyr. Anyone can see they’ve been planning for 1 term all along.

The most traction they’ll get out of him is to have it like some white christian/palin supporter/’supremacist’ kills him.

They’d get 40 years of Dem rule out of that. Like Carville’s book of the new Dem Reich was calling for

This is probably in response to the possible attempt on the Bush residence. These people can not let anyone feel sorry for anyone but them.

I can see this making the mainstream media, but not anarchist, communist, and union thuggery, real death threats against Palin and Beck, et cetera ad infinitum. And he might even have been an agent provocateur for all I know.

Rep Broun should recognize a plant/provocateur when he sees one

Great job, nitwit (the questioner) . I suppose the media now has something to talk about all weekend. Wouldn’t want to waste any valuable time on Obama policy debate.

Sounds like the work of one of Cass Sunstein’s minions. Cass is a proponent of this type of garbage to disrupt public discourse.

Horrible little children. This is starting to remind me of the Jerry Brown never used the word “whore” story although you plainly hear him on the audio. Now we have no audio, no video, but we’re supposed to believe it was said.

It's bullbleep story:

The exact wording of the question is not clear because, the Athens Banner-Herald reports, there was a lot of noise at the event.

IOW, we don't know what was actually said or asked. It's fabricated and sent viral to make anti-Obama folk look evil.
