Police arrested a Washington state man, who was armed with shotguns, for emailing threats to President Obama. KING's Chris Daniels reports.
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- The Secret Service on Tuesday arrested a Washington state man accused of making an email threat against President Barack Obama and brandishing a shotgun at officers who came to his door.
Anton Caluori, 31, was arrested at an apartment in this south Seattle suburb for investigation of making threats against the president and assault on a federal officer, said Brian Leary, a Secret Service spokesman in Washington, D.C.
Caluori is scheduled to appear at 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) Wednesday in federal court, Leary said.
The threat was sent to a general purpose FBI email address, U.S. attorney's spokeswoman Emily Langlie said.
The FBI then notified the Secret Service, Leary said. He refused to discuss the nature of the threat but Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said she understood it was a threat to kill the president.

Speaking to Reuters, Leary described the email as "alarming."
A Secret Service agent and a Federal Way police officer went to an apartment in a four-plex at the Panther Ridge Apartments, knocked and announced themselves for about three minutes, then found themselves facing a man armed with a shotgun when the door opened, Schrock said.
"The shotgun was coming up to point in the direction of the agents," she said. "The two officers were able to close in and take control of the weapon before anyone was harmed."
The officers also seized a gun in the man's ankle holster, she said.
Because the resident made statements about explosive devices in the apartment, the Federal Way bomb squad was called to evacuate the four-plex and sweep it for explosives, Schrock said. None was found.
'A good boy'
"He has a good education, he's a good boy, but he's done a stupid thing," a woman who identified herself as Caluori's mother, Renee, told local station KOMO-TV at the apartment scene.
"I don't know a whole lot," she told the television station. "How would you feel if your son got arrested? Never got arrested, was in the military, has a college education. And I'm just a little bit upset and shocked."
Schrock said she understood Caluori's mother lived in the apartment as well. The spokeswoman said the woman was allowed back into the apartment briefly to get some personal belongings. Her location was not known Tuesday night.
Federal agents began searching the unit after the all-clear Tuesday evening, Schrock said.
Federal Way police had no previous contact with the man, Schrock said.
Leary refused comment on any details of the man's history.

This "Good Boy" simply wanted his 5 minutes of fame in the news.
Stupid to send a email threat to the FBI against any president, no matter how competent or incompetent.
Agreed, stupid. If he was really going to do something, he would not have announced it to the FBI He is just your average nut. However, get ready for the Dem/Repub name-calling/bashing to begin. Bush did it Tea Party member, blah blah ect. However, I do hope that someone will provide some new material, hopefully funny.
He got his 5 mins...
Now he can serve his 5 years for pure stupidity.
Confronting officers at the door with a shotgun wasn't exactly prudent either...
Well, he seems to have pretty much guaranteed his retirement plan. Three hots and a cot for the next 20, or so years.
Since when can't an employer (a US taxpayer) threaten his employee (Obama)?
Thats the 2nd one....there was also one in Miami. I guess people are tired of being unemployed, with so much time on their hands....they have time to let their mind wander.
For this guy I have this to offer.
No sense being stupid.....unless you can show it.
Menoseeno:
Um, since a while. You can't seriously threaten to kill anyone, employer/employee or not.
Wow, it's like some people don't even live on the same planet...
So some crazy republican want's to kill. Im sure he was part of the "pro life movement". Im sure he goes to church and prayer meeting all the time. The moral majority? OH, And menoseeno The answer to your question is : since slavery was abolished.
@Menoseeno, Since when can any American legally threaten another? You are a nut case too. Its so easy to pick stupidity out of these comments... gosh!
I hope we're sending them the bill every time one of these idiots claims to have explosives.
Why was he brandishing a shotgun at federal agents? Time to ban guns. Guns need to go.
What country are you living in? People threaten people all the time and get away with it. And why even bother to threaten a guy whose going to be looking for a job next year?
Maybe he can have J.Jackson's job. OOOPS, He don't have a job either.
Obama was the best president, correction, puppet, Mexico ever put in the White House.
Menoseeno
Save a place in the cell for this nut job!
Ding -- ding --ding --ding-----ding!!!
We have a winner!!!!
Don't employ anyone do you Menoseeno?
GPJ--WRONG! The guy was a disgrutled gay democrat. Couldn't have been anything else or this media source would have had splattered all over place that he was a right wing extremist.
There was nothing that said this guy want to kill the President, maybe he wanted to bond him and spank him.
Pics or it didn't happen.
I don't believe the shooting in Dark Knight Rises took place either. With all the people in a crowded theater who obviously had cellphones, one of them couldn't pop out a cameraphone and take pics of the shooter? The movie itself is offensive to Obama, as one of the major villains (Bane) uses share-alike rhetoric similar to him. What do we get after the fact? A bunch of repeated long shots of the apartment.
Here, I'm muting the sound, to filter out all the crap. What I see is cops doing alot of setup work (yellow tape, bomb disposal unit) but I've yet to see an armed man as they say pop out of the building. An email threat? An armed man?
Unless supposed armed man is actually FIRING on the president, this isn't even a crime. Far from it, he has the RIGHT to do such things.
The right of the people to bear arms, not the right only of armies. Why? In case despots ever tried to subdue the population. Unfortunately, the population has decided to subdue itself, by forgetting its other right, the right to free speech. Oh, but there are limits like "you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater." Yes, you can. If there is an actual fire. If not, people have the right to laugh you off and say there's no fire. Freedom of speech is tempered with common sense. So this email threat? Unless it fell under sexual harassment, or the guy was actually near enough in proximity that it was valid, this is just (an incredibly dumb) use of freedom of speech to complain or provoke changes.
Oh, and the police Do Not Cross line? Some old woman ducked under it to do her business at 1:32. You gonna arrest her too?
@menoseeno If the treats are against specific people, with declarative statements such as "i will"or "I am going to" the person being threated can press charges or cops will just arrest them. Unfortunately Hate groups and nut jobs who say so and so should be shot,killed, etc. are doing nothing illegal so can only be monitored by the government and only done something about if they move into illegal activities.
Either Menoseeno is trolling or is from a different planet, as others have noted. Best to just ignore, will eventually go away. The only real value is in realizing that if some parts of what is saying is whacko, the rest(a guy whose(sic) going to be looking for a job next year) will be too.
It is a violaton of federal law to threaten the life of an elected official. Has been for some time. It is also a real good sign the person is STUPID. Plus he lives with his mother. A real STUPID loser.
SIESTAS...Today righties are so convinced of their empowerment over the rest of the people of this country that laws that protect our elected officials mean zip. These are evil people used by other evil people to continue evil acts. Why else would the extremists focus their evil indoctrination on the most uneducated, most impressionable people? It's always easier to manipulate those who lack intelligence or the moral terpitude it takes to live an honest life.
.
So did he email the threat to the FBI or did the recipient of the email forward it to them? I wonder, if he hadn't answered the door with a shotgun, if he would have been arrested anyway?
Sounds like the veteran from Virginia that was arrested and forced to get a psych eval for encouraging a revolution on his facebook page.
Looks like we have a few of the usual "ban guns" idiots on here this morning. People are just getting tired of the fool we have in the WH. This wasn't the way to protest but there are many more who want the fool OUT!
Mitt/Paul 2012 for the sake of our country!
I only checked in to this post for entertainment because I suspected it might bring out some of the loonies. I wasn't disappointed. No Dark Knight Rises shooting????
@-usa1967,
At least these guys advertise what nut cases they are and are found before anything bad happens. It's the quiet ones who just start suddenly random shooting that worry me. After they are killed by police or kill themselves is when you find their suicide note or rambling manifesto about the unfair un-American government.
Yea, here we go, he's "a good boy," who threatens to kill a sitting President than answers the door with a shotgun.
Lock his ass up!!!!
There's a "good boy" someplace in the North who sanctioned a highway bulletin board with an ad that depicts two Military men in full uniform, and weapon, supposedly Navy Seals which says, "we took out bin Laden, it's time to take out Obama."
Anyone see this on the news yet, or read about it?
Unless he's his mothers "care-giver," I consider any man 31 years old a loser who lives in an apartment with his Mom.
Come on, you don't threaten the President. It is a crime. Then you sure as heck don't go to the door armed with a shot gun and a pistol strapped to your ankle. Of course they should investigate and arrest him. Anyone who says different does not believe that and are just trying to get angry responses.
Thomas, no one believes your little rant. There are plenty of conspiracy theories out there, but to actually claim the shootings in Colorado did not happen, well, that is not even a conspiracy theory. That is just stupid. A real conspiracy theory would claim a government official or something did it, but not deny it. Get a grip man. Sometimes it IS exactly how it looks.
Creek Dog, I am not saying you are wrong, just saying do not give up on the system. Get involved, run for office, change the system. I am not a fan of it all either, but one of the good things about the system is that change can happen. It can't happen overnight, but normal citizens, starting at local levels, running on their beliefs and getting others to believe with them can change our government and country.
Believe me, I really don't like either party. Both have some great ideas, both are often full of .... No 3rd party has run on anything worth consideration in a long time. Change it.
@CREEKDOG: If everyone you ever voted for let you down or did not do good things for you...try this...... VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Problem solved.
It is against the law to threaten an elected official. Look it up, check it out, live lit, love it and move on.
Yes, because the first thing you think to do when someone starts shooting into a crowd of people indiscriminately is to whip out a camera/phone and take a photo.
You just don't get it, do you.
News98's another right-wing nut. You also deserve to be arrested
So if you send naked pictures of your junk to the FBI, will they come over and investigate it?
bunch of idiots!!!!!
Creek Dog is right. There will be no change. The Dems and Pubs effectively block any attempt to establish a third party. I believe the Republican Party was sued...for racketeering? Good old mob tactics. Probably nothing will come of it. Big money vets your choices...either way, their guy wins. People think there are two parties, but really there's just the one.
Where do some people get their information? It is a crime to threaten the life of the president. You can't send threatening emails or letters to the president. The 1st and 2nd amendment do not give you the right to threaten anyone least of all the president. It simply says you can keep, bear arms and have a militia to protect US soil not go forth and shoot people when you disagree with their politics. Don't start spouting about "protecting the union, socialist, blah blah". Go to the voting booth and cast your ballot if you don't like things. That's how democracy works. And quit acting like the current unemployment rate is the worst this country has suffered since depression. Got news for some of here, unemployment was this bad during Ronald Reagan's first term as president. Who did they blame? Jimmy Carter. The damage of 2008 will take more time to fix than just a few years just like it took Reagan time to get things back on track in the 80's. And he spent some money to do it. If there is evil undermining going on in this country it is happening in Congress who have done almost nothing to aid the people they were elected to serve. They are corrupt, greedy and self serving. You want to push for something pick term limits for the representatives and senators who cater to lobbyists, special interest groups and getting rich. The congress current approval rating is at a 38yr low of 10% and I don't know where they found those people who think they do a good job because I don't know anyone of any party that likes those bums. We the people need to unite on that front instead of these ridiculous threats against the president that get all of us no where.
@Lou,
Find out and let us know.
@JTM lol. I would but they might send some pictures back.
Hey Thomas Hooker,
"I don't believe the shooting in Dark Knight Rises took place either. With all the people in a crowded theater who obviously had cellphones, one of them couldn't pop out a cameraphone and take pics of the shooter? The movie itself is offensive to Obama, as one of the major villains (Bane) uses share-alike rhetoric similar to him. What do we get after the fact? A bunch of repeated long shots of the apartment."
Do me a favor, next time you're being shot at from a lunatic with high caliber automatic weapons in a crowded, dark as night place, take some pics, or even better, video! I'm sure when they pull your body out of the remaining detritus we'll be able to see the full story of how an idiot decided to film the disgusting act, but while trying to "get the shot", got shot!
Thanks (Whew! Are there really this many people in our society who fail to understand, or even consider all variables in a situation?).
and yet Ted Nugent wasnt arrested nor Jules Manson BOTH should have been . But if you wealthy or a GOP politician you can hide behind "free speech.
sick
The medias Disney like version: >>> Officers knocked on his door (Officer: Hello, sir, may we have a moment of your time? Hello, is anyone home? Dudley DoRight here. Hello? Knock, knock!) after he threatened the president and he appeared at the door with a shotgun which he then pointed at the friendly officers.
The truth: Suddenly, out of nowhere came a van doing 75 in a 25, screached to a stop scaring the hell out of all the women and kids on the block and storm troopers of death dressed in what appeared to be quasi, military gear, ran to his door and immediately started trying to knock it down before they identified themselves and the gentleman inside grabbed his chest in pain, sh*t his pants and decided to defend his property and self against a goon squad in all black.
I don't condone threats against the president, but even with that said, I know the media lovin' tardlings that gobble their words like they're gonads are gonna bash me anyway so have at it. Pop open a PBR and get'r done before your trailer falls apart.
Eggs, so now the 31 year old who lives with his mom, threatened the President, refused to come to the door after 3 minutes of knocking and announcing (read the article!!!) by ONE FBI agent and ONE Federal Way police officer, then comes to the door armed with not one, but two weapons, is a gentleman defending his property from an unknown good squad? Wow.
Again, sometimes, more often than not actually, it IS exactly how it seems.
It's interesting how crazy these REpublicans/TP are. Repub party is filled with violent crazy people who need psychiatric care. With people like Palin talking about bullseyes, Gifford's shooting and the politicians spewing their hate because their stinking party screwed this country beyond belief is a good example of why this party is dangerous and will kill the middle class.
I am not sure if I would tie this nut job to a whole political party. I just wish we could all respect eachother.
Threatening the government officials of the United States is a serious crime under federal law. Threatening the President of the United States is a Class D felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by 5 years of imprisonment, that is investigated by the United States Secret Service. Threatening other officials is a Class C or D felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes, that is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Just plain ignorance isn't either.
WOW I see IGNORANT LEFTIES like EWENT. Plus you have siestasis that is calling him stupid for living with his MOTHER. I have an Uncle that lived with my grandmother from the day he was born to the day she passed away and still lives in the same house. He is retired NOT STUPID, he retired from MSU, if you think that someone is stupid for helping there mother out. SOUNDS LIKE WE KNOW WHO IS STUPID. He looks alot like the person looking back at you from the MIRROR.
the guy must be crazy...to want to waste a perfectly good bullet...obama ain't worth shoot'n...
nwnative-
And last weeks shooting at the pro life Family Research Center where a guard was shot?????
Noticed you left that one out of your rant.
nwnative needs help. (S)he's under the illusion that there are no violent nutbags on the left. What is your ultimate goal here? I believe most honest/thinking individuals, whether right or left, recognize that insanity and violence does not discriminate based on political persuasion. So, when somebody decides to blanket comment sections with nonsense about the malciousness of their political rivals, when they sermonize the "wicked" intentions of an opposing viewpoint what's the objective? Too bad there's not a way to outlaw thoughts, right? Too bad we can't just do away with all those wicked conservatives and tea baggers. Your words mark you as both dangerous and befuddled, nwnative. You need to get help before you pull something like this. Seriously.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
This poor buffoon probably threatened to hurl an insult at Barrack Hussein. We all now how thin-skiined our Narcissist-in-Chief is, I'm sure the Secret Service considered that an agressive act.
However, greeting them at the door with a shotgun and an ankle pistol was the bigger mistake he made.
Just another Liberal upset, this is how they usually react, lashing out irrationally.
Nothing to see here.
Romney/Ryan 2012 for real Americans
He had emailed a threat to the President.
When he opened the door he was armed and pointing the gun at the FEDS.
Why the @!$%# didn't they shoot and kill the son of a bitch right there - Would have been one less rightie nut to worry about ...
Lost opportunity i say ....
The threats never stop. Look at the loon on this thread.
Even faux noise has been guilty of this. Liz Trotta in June 2008, that's right long before the convention, was saying that Obama should be assassinated on national television.
And then the radical right wonders why they get no respect. Rodney Dangerfield gets more respect than the likes of Romneyhood and Ayn Ryan.
All next week we can see thousands of nut-jobs like this bozo... The republican convention... That is where God, guns and bible comes from...
It's not surprising that some unstable people do things like this when they listen to the like of Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity, Sara Palin etc.
Wow, the left and right wing nuts are out in force today!
Yep, it is better to listen to Mr. Biden, Valerie Jarrett, Anita Dunn, Billy Bob Ayers, Rev. Wright, Jesse Jackson, Trumka, Acorn, Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, Hilary Rosen, Bixelrod, and Mr. Canary. They have so much in common.
Wait a minute....these are folks Mr. Obama looks to to formulate his policies and agenda.
you got FBI, detain, torture, enslave anyone who will be perfect for the media to destroy...yay were safe
why cant i find what the email said??
I wonder if we are the only country in world history that WANTS to regress back to the 1790s? You know when the life expectancy on average was 49 years old and people had to use chestnut leaves to wipe their arse. Ah, the tea party's version of the good ol' days.
why are people so AFRAID of the tea party.....
Wow the guy who ask why we want to go back to the 1790's also doesn't understand differences and has no tolerance for other groups....hmmmmm
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people suffering out there, and very frustrated!
The Republican-T-Party Confederates are lying and artificially holding the economy down, then lying
on the President saying he doesn't understand business, or isn't focused on creating jobs...
...When it's the REPUBLICANS who won't do their jobs, and compromise!
They're acting like spoiled little children, so in November...
...let's give them a "TIME OUT!"
Nobody's "afraid" of Fux propaganda T-Party Confederates...
...we're just disgusted with the whole racist, homophobic, misogynist lot of their/your stupid arses...
Wow... they grab this guy but not the Black Panthers after their live recored radio show with head hood rat Michelle Williams talking about...and I quote " putting our feet on your mother #%$^-ing necks" in respect to the Republican convention in Tampa. Guess the Panthers must be Barry and Holders private army? Remember Barry's speech in Colorado back in '08 where he said he wanted to build- "a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" ( as the military). I'm sure hoping it's not the Panthers! lol... especially after the the stunts they pulled at the voting booths on the last go around. Listen to this and tell me whites are rascist? lol...
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/08/14/NBP-Threaten-Cracker-Republican-Tampa-Convention-Wont-Be-Tolerated-Our-Feet-Will-Be-On-Your-Necks
Ido,
With the exception of Vice President Biden and Senior House Adviser Valerie Jarrett, the people you list do nothing more than react to the policies set forth by this administration. I've never heard this president backtrack from a position in order to placate a drug addled radio host.
Uh oh, Breitbart quote alert. Cue the theme from the Twilight Zone.
It's not a quote... it's a link. Its a recording of the Panthers radio show. Typical lefty... screwing up the facts and spewing it as truth.
Evidently you don't understand sarcasm, I was making jokes about the panthers being his army. But thanks for taking the time to get the full quote. Carry on young socialist! I have to get back to work now to help pay for the 49% of people NOT paying taxes in the USA.
So this idiot exercised his rights to freedom of speech and right to bear arms. Good, now the Federal Govt can exercise its right to throw his stupid azz in jail. Call it terrorism and throw him in Gitmo.
your not afraid.....hmm
people dont tolerate what they fear....you are clearly afraid of something...maybe a english teacher
THIS STORY IS A LIE. So what the FBI calls the news camera crew every time they go investigate....media BS propaganda...this guy is probably sipping pina coladas with the Obama family in HI.
Chuck,
You said GOP's could get away with threats and named a couple of persons. Well what about when Matt Damon said he would pay a million dollars to see that GWB did not get re-elected, or Danny Glover when he made his degruntled threat against GWB from another country. Both sides do it, both sides have money or are you that blind... What is it 468 or alittle more voting members of the houses and they can not get together to make this the 'Greatest and Richest' Nation in the World... It is apparent, they are out for themselves, and the mighty dollar... Now go cry on 'Bill Maher's' shoulder...
I gotta say thanks to all the douchebags for collapsing half of these comments. It makes it much easier to pick out the ones that are worth reading.
First, the reason they are not releasing specifics about the "threat" is because there was no threat to the President. Anton Calouri, as well as thousands of other American citizens and patriots are fed up with this BS. Over taxation, removing our Constitutional rights 1 by 1, purposefully and maliciously destroying our economy, executive orders that give our new dictator supreme control, buying millions of rounds of hollow point ammunition for DOMESTIC services like DHS and the Social Security Administration, Forcing us to fit the bill for people that can work but refuse to, Gorilla tactics by local law enforcement and imprisonment or death without due process, outright lies and falsehoods by BOTH major political parties, the media's obsession with assisting the success of the Socializing of America, and the refusal to acknowledge or punish the true enemies within our own borders by rule of political correctness. Anton Calouri is calling for a revolution, as are thousands of us. He is prior military with top secret clearances. The perfect Patsy. That "Nut-job" is highly educated and was trusted with some of our countries most valuable and dangerous assets. Always remember that had our forefathers lost the revolutionary war, they would all have been hung for treason. Some people are optimists and some are not. Some people believe that we can still save America by way of Democracy and some do not. Some feel that the average American citizen is too stupid to even know when he is being duped, controlled, lied to and suppressed and therefore, all is lost. Regardless, it is our Constitutional Right to form and train a militia. It is our Constitutional Right to freedom of speech. It is our Constitutional Right to own unilaterally equivalent weapons with those that intend to suppress us. What the media and both political parties are underestimating is the will, drive and power of the American people. Our Government should FEAR us and they no longer do. I am a Constitutionalist. I am neither Republican nor Democrat, though I agree more commonly with common sense and I find that to be completely void in the Democratic party and only mostly void in the Republican. My challenge to you, today, is to
STOP taking everything you read at face value.
UNDERSTAND that "the official" statement does not mean the "actual" or "correct" statement.
DISCOVER that the truth is almost always an average of the extremes of both sides.
SHOUT what you have found to be true to everyone who will listen.
How do we fix America? Wash it with "SUDS"!
An overthrow of the government is a last resort and should have some support within Congress itself. Be ready, dear patriot, to act when called upon but do not act alone. But do not be so quick to judge those that our government labels "domestic terrorists". This is the same government that detonated Nuclear bombs near small towns in Nevada just to see what the fallout would do. This is the same government that gave its troops experimental drugs without their consent. Google these: MK ULTRA, Tuskegee Experiment, The Pellagra Incident, San Francisco Mass Bacteria Test, Yellow Fever Mosquitoes Savannah, GA and Avon Park, FL, Holmesberg State Prison Dioxin.
1969
Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from Congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
1970
Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the Army's top-secret biological weapons facility. United States intensifies its development of 'ethnic weapons' (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.
1977
Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
1978
Experimental "Hepatitis B" vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.
1981
First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine.
1990
More than 1500 six-month old black and Hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an 'experimental' measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.
1994
With a technique called 'gene tracking,' Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made.
Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials include mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psycho chemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War.
1996
Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.
These are the people you trust to tell you that this guy threatened the President. These are the people who you think have your best interests in mind. This is only a small fraction of the atrocities our government has committed on its own people. Chew on this:
You are a college researcher working on classified government contracts or former military personnel with classified clearance and you are asked to do some pretty horrific stuff. One day, you have had enough and your guilt is overwhelming and you threaten to talk or passively refuse further action on their behalf. What will be the Government agency's most likely response to this "in the interest of national security"? But wait, they can kill two birds with one stone here, pardon the pun. They can make you the fall guy for their latest initiative. Shut you up, discredit you and possibly kill you AND further another cause! You now know you're going to be setup by the government to be the Patsy for their latest effort to convince the people that "Guns are Bad". You can't tell anyone because they have threatened the lives of your loved ones. You can't go to the police for obvious reasons. You can't run because they will just start a nationwide manhunt after pinning you as the bad guy. Wait...you can make it harder for them to pin it on you! Dye your hair bright red or something. That way, people will know it wasn't you because the guy who actually did it, didn't have bright red hair! They come and get you. They see you have done dyed your hair so they alter their plans a bit to incorporate a helmet and gas mask. You over hear them talking about explosives they put in your apartment. You're terrified. You are told to go into a movie theater and sit for 15 minutes then get up and walk out the back door. That's all you gotta do. If you say anything to anyone, your family is dead. If you run, your family is dead. So, you do as your told. Now your sitting in a police car in the middle of nowhere. they make you change clothes at gunpoint and put on this "black tactical outfit". Then back in the car. You hear the "officer" get the que on his radio and he reacts immediately and shifts the car into drive and heads toward the jail. You have heard a little of the commotion on the officers radio but don't understand most of the codespeak. Your first briefing on the extent of what "you've done" is during your interrogation. You tell them you don't know anything but they assure you that they will discover the truth in your apartment. You're now horrified. You remember them talking about rigging your apartment with explosives and instinctively you scream, "WAIT!, DON'T GO IN MY APARTMENT! ITS RIGGED WITH EXPLOSIVES!" ......"@!$%#!"..You have seriously screwed up now. They told you not to say anything or they're going after your family. A few moments later, a "Federal investigator" comes in to speak with you. Quietly, he whispers in your ear and reminds you that this is your families last chance. "One more word, boy, and they're dead.", "You better fake amnesia or something."
"Done Dyed"...lol..oops. 86 the done.
Do you hear voices?
As a drunken Abraham Lincoln yelled from his box to the crowd at Ford's Theatre, "What are you gonna do? Shoot me?"
And when Vice-President Richard Nixon's car was attacked by angry Latin Americans yelling "YANKEE, GO HOME", what was done about that?
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the wetbacks that are invading the United States, so help me, Allah!"
Barach Hussein Obama
Stop blaming the wonderful guys at the Secret Service and the FBI. If it weren't for them, JFK would have had four more years in office.
I have a feeling this might become an obstacle in his run for congress.
Funny...Seems to me he would have went after Bush then.
So the guy sends the threat to the FBI and answers the door with a shotgun............almost like he knew he would be arrested. Maybe his welfare check was late and he wanted to make "chicken fried steak" night at the federal prison.
no both sides do NOT do it.
giving money to help a candidate win or not win is part of the political process--notice he didnt threaten to KILL GWB.
Glover was an outspoken critic of George W. Bush, calling him a known racist. "Yes, he's racist. We all knew that. As Texas's governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all the other U.S. states together. And most of the people who died were Afro-Americans or Hispanics."[27]
Do you see threats to kill? NO! BOTH SIDES DO NOT DO THIS THREATENING TO KILL A PRESIDENT.
This isnt about MONEY!! YOU ARE BLIND!!!!
Says the leftist liberal idiot who calls a presidential candidate a nightmare.
Stupid , Crazy, or looking for fame ??
@Lunkystraydog,
My guess is all three
He sounds like Sarah Palin's date.
And you look like something Sarah left in the outhouse. 8) Cheers....
Uh...something fishy here....If you are unemployed...and your funds are low...You immediately invest in expensive artillery to take out the president? How about a little less BS here? If you've got the money to buy guns, bombs and a full arsenal of weapons...you are not poor.
Some in this country are so spoiled rotten. They think what they have today is an absolute entitlement and not luxuries. I see people all the time. Nice clothes, obviously not dying of malnutrition with the guts hanging over belts these days and homes that they know makes them appear "affluent." All while they whine, moan, groan, caterwall they are in the pits of poverty.
Whew! More BS than this the Texas long horns can't produce. You are poor when you live paycheck to paycheck, your cupboard is so low that you eat the same food 5 times a week and the roof over your head may not be there much longer. You don't go out and waste money on guns and ammo. DUH
Hahaha Jeff !
Hell Jeff I thought he was your lover
Jeff, That must be an actual picture of you!!
@ewent,
How do you know when he bought the guns?
Ewent: Unfortunately I think you are wrong. I live in a part of the country that is very conservative, pretty rural, a whole lot of people who have very little. Truly, there are a lot of people who live here who haven't had a long-term job for lots of years, a common "occupation" is to scrub the countryside for old metal to take to the local recycle yard. My middle class income allows me to live in one of the nicest houses in my community, many think I am rich.
Almost to a "man" (sounds sexist, but really does apply more to men than women here), people are armed to the teeth. It is enough of a priority to them that they find a way to have their guns and ammo, regardless of how little money they make.
ewent, could he have bought the guns with a credit card? Lots of people buy what they can't afford with one. Talk to my brother.
@ewent...we can tell from your posts that your thought processes are very limited. Many many folks have items they bought when the ecomony was good, but they are now losing them...cars, homes etc. And in a lot of cases these are folks that have worked very hard for many years. We can also tell from your posts that you have no concept of what "poor" is, because it is quite obvious you have never been poor. Thinking maybe the BS has a familiar smell around you too.
@ big papa-388691
If you would do some research instead of echoing Obamas propaganda the records show growth during republican control and down into recession when democrats have control. Oddly Bush had 100 months of growth before the democrats took control of congress in 2006. They then sent us into recession. The mortgage meltdown was caused by banks making bad loans right??? Google the CRA Lawsuit and see why the banks were making bad loans.
If you look you can see the truth. You'll have to look farther then Obamas website to find it though.
really Frank?
Exactly what specific act(s) of congress was it in 2007 (not 2006) that caused the economic downturn then? There was nothing significant that the democrats changed in that specific timeframe to cause such a downturn. There were several factors that crashed the economy. Your buddies had 6 years to change the bad loan making rules. Even your boy Bush (among others) saw that coming and warned everyone. Why do you suppose they still didn't do anything about it?
Answer: Neither party is representing you (unless you are a major campaign contributor). I will not be wasting my time voting for these owned puppets. The results will always be as Creek Dog has experienced in his comments above. Gotta have less corruption in the government (good start would be the funding for campaign rules). Sadly, your crew recently decided that corporations are people, tipping the scale even farther in the wrong direction (unions should not be considered "people" in this sense either). Now, even foreign entities can have far more control over our government than your vote (and my vote, and everyone's votes combined). Funding from the same corporation goes to both the democrat and republican candidate simultaneously (more goes to the one they think will win). Think that's healthy?
Wait isn't that Pelosi's job description? My mistake hers is "Stupid, Crazy and face lifted".
I bet he is a loyal fox news viewer/republican.
I bet he has been UNEMPLOYED for more than 2 years and TIRED of it!
Oh stop with that crap, David. Can't we, just one time have an adult conversation without bringing political affiliation into it? The guy is obviously disturbed.
But I keep hearing conservatives say that people who don't have jobs are just lazy- that they just want to collect welfare checks. Which is it?
LOL Fedupwith fed. when unemployment was high under bush your guys said. "There are plenty of jobs, just look at the NYT classifieds", I guess your one of those lazy guys who just don't want to work. lmao@u
George - how did you come up with that assumption that he is lazy. And there are plenty of jobs every where people just think they are to good to have a low paying job.
They are.
I have also heard that from some family members who are very liberal. It has more to do with the person and not the party.
Kai.:
Can't we just one time talk about the actions of a violent a-hole without making assumptions about his mental health and reinforcing the stigmatization of mental illness?
David1969,
I'll bet he was watching FOX NEWS! A Democrat tired of the lies on CNN, and what Barack keeps spewing, so he wanted to hear something alittle more fair...

Just because he answered the door armed does not mean he brandished a gun. This is another made-up crime to hold Americans under tyranny. And, why wouldn't an American answer the door armed? Our government now tortures people without legal redress. It murders Americans without redress all on the word of the psychopath-in-chief. Our government now allows police to lie and commit perjury. Prosecutors are nothing but scum who abuse justice. Judges merely protect and expand state power without regard for rights or the constitution. The government has now thrown an American Marine freedom activist into a psychiatric ward for saying the exact same things our founders said regarding the tyranny of government. The fact is our government is preparing for war against the people. It has bought the ammunition. It has prepared holding facilities. It has created the laws. It has created the command structure with NORTHCOM. And, it has worked to make Americans powerless while destroying the constitution. Timothy McVeigh was a hero and patriot and was the first to strike out. The government likes to bring up his collateral damage, but as he said, "It is morally no different then when the US bombed schools, hospitals and train stations in Serbia. All those people were collateral damage. At least McVeigh did not purposely kill children as our government did to 500,000 Iraqi children to whom it denied basic medicines that caused these kids to suffer slow agonizing deaths.
You were saying something that just because he was armed, that he wasn't brandishing a weapon? Then there's this...
And this...
Yep, sure sounds like a made up crime to me. Maybe they should pay you a visit next?
Your own blind hatred has numbed you to common sense and good judgement.
Timothy McVeigh killed 258 Americans including children. Joseph, you're the reason I don't vote Republican anymore since President Reagan.
You are absolutely right. Yesterday I met the cable guy at the door with my trusty bazooka
Hey! I've heard this before...think, think. Oh, yeah - prophesy!
Think before you comment
ZRNCHIK---
"Timothy McVeigh was a hero and patriot and....."
Really? There was a day care center in the building if I recall ----. You should keep all of your appointments ..... the docs are there to help you.... really.
Joseph Zrnchik
Is 90% right on the money. Only thing he is wrong about it the Timothy McVeigh comment.
That incident in Oklahoma City has been 100% proven to have been a staged event by our Government. Meaning Yes, It did happen. Innocent Children were killed. Not by McVeigh, he was a Patsy, but by our own Government. Don't look into the theories, Look into the FACTS.
And the tin-foil hat crowd has spoken. Now go back to your mom's basement and continue trolling the Dungeons and Dragons websites...
Hey now, that's not fair! The Dungeons and Dragons crowd doesn't want to claim punjig either!

What a dumbass Did he think they were NOT watching ?????
If it were after romney, it would not even be news !!!! Just everyday happening !
If it were after Romney, they would go after him just the same. He is afforded the same securirty our President has, and rightfully so.
As the Republican nominee, he will have the crazies after him too.
NY Mike...Not true. How many assassination attempts by nut jobs did Bush, Cheney, Bush '41 or Clinton have? See the common denominator yet? It is my express opinion that the most hateful people on the planet are full of their own self-hatred which they are always ready to spew forth. Too bad most Americans just want to get on with their lives, be productive human beings and do the right thing. Puts a real crimp in the self-loathing nut jobs of the extremist right out there.
ewent says: "Puts a real crimp in the self-loathing nut jobs of the extremist right out there."
Sounds like some hateful "spewing" on your part. Hipocrit!!
Cheney in the list doesn't fit, as he wasn't prez. Also, add Reagan.
All have had
attemptsintent, most are thwarted before the loony can ever get close. Crazy people don't have to belong to a party to be crazy. The only thing that might make it look more slanted to the right is that the right is the party of the NRA, which allows the loonies easier access to weapons to really try to act on intentions. They might even be more inclined to gravitate to the right, for the same reason.Eating Congress

Seems like you "four" Bozos - EngEsq, JTM-890765, Nikolaus20 and Vahid Trazan-5311412 either have multiple personalities, quad- joined at the head morons, or another alternative reality existence and each are the same person using multiple identities to come up with the same, redundant BS. Get a life and be productive.
Gosh, jack from Jax, you read "bull@!$%#" (according to you) and then add your own. Nothing better to do? You rudely criticize strangers who harm you not, who are having a bit of fun, and tell THEM to "get a life". If you equate nbcnews comments to "having a life" and "productiveness", then you and many others are sorely lacking in both. Pompous jerk.
This election is a choice between two visions for the future of America: One vision is for continuation of the progressive vision of a balance between equality and freedom as the moral foundation of justice, and a more recent conservative vision of an entitlement due the wealthy and the equivalence of corporations to the rights and protections of natural persons under the Constitution.
A progressive future is one in which government is a custodian of the public trust and advocates for justice; where justice is a balance between equality and freedom. Government as a custodian of the public trust means that everyone plays by the same rules and that everyone is equal before the law. Public trust means the rights of the people to preserve and protect the common property of the United States is not severable to the interests of privatization. Public trust means that a corporation has no rights except those given to it by law and does not have equal standing with a natural born person under the Constitution.
The conservative future is one of a hostile corporate takeover with privatization of government functions. The corporate takeover means that having wealth is an effective barrier to others participating in the process of government. It means that government would no longer serve the interests of the community but collaborate with the wealthy corporate owners to establish a separate set of laws that entitle them to preferential treatment while creating barriers to competition by eliminating opportunities for others.
The free market is a myth: if it isn't regulated by government to prevent fraud, it is regulated by the corporate oligarchy to prevent competition. Free means not having to go to jail for fraud and theft.
Freedom of speech for corporations is a political myth: the right to free speech is a right of the natural born person, not an artifact of legal convention.
The conservative options for health care are no birth control, no abortion and no health insurance unapproved by a corporate CEO. The progressive option is universal health care and the right of women to make their own health decisions.
This election is about protecting the American value of living according to one's conscience, as opposed to having a religious elite create intrusive bureaucratic regulations supporting their sectarian religious doctrine.
This election is about education for citizenship, not choice for a privileged elite who don't want to associate with the classes below them.
This election is about living in fear, or finding a means to reducing the violence that haunts personal security.
This election is about who gets to rewrite the tax laws: a privileged elite who personally benefits from tax entitlements to the wealthy, or one who advocates for tax fairness.
This election is about who gets to nominate justices to the Supreme Court: pack a court with conservative judicial activists who want to roll back human rights, or one who advocates for judicial competence.
This election is a moral choice between affiliation or aggression, empathy or egotism, service or selfishness, cooperation or competitiveness.
The tale of two visions is the difference between a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and a government run by a plutocracy of wealth and corporate power.
This is the biggest pile of crap I have read today. thanks for your liberal hype.
What a load of crap. obama has done nothing but divide americans into groups, pitting one against the other. Who do you think finances obama's run for reelection? Can you afford those 50,000 dollar a plate dinners. He has had his four yours and has shown himself a liar, and no different than any other politician. It is a shame after all this man has done you libs still believe what comes out of his mouth. If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd, its a turd.
dls-387641,
My, my, my you sure are indoctrinated right up to your eyeballs. I'd have a laugh if I didn't find your commentary so sad.
I'm out of here...can't take the constant spin on the left. Y'all go on, have your fun and bolster each other up, all the while convincing yourself that your savior, Baraaaacccckkkkk the wonderkind, will bring you into the promised land. Spin away kiddies...I'm going to spend my day with my family and leave you here to lie to each other and pat yourselves on the back.
(I'd get that double vision checked, and do an extra good scrub on your teeth when you brush them...it helps get that turd taste out of your mouth. You know, from sticking your nose too far up your saviors rear end.)
You libs are so good at the cut and paste. You may want to start letting people know where your "thoughts" come from though. Plagiarism is a terrible thing.
Thank you for this. I hope it's okay that I copied it and sent it around to my friends via email. I included your posting name and the link to this article. Just a really well presented argument, and worth sharing.
ok, here are my liberal thoughts. Republicans are corporatist, you think by being nice to the hidden rich that you will benefit. in the end you wont. I could list the improvements of the last three years but you already know them and would find some way to deny them.. So what is it? what makes you hate half of America so much? is it racism? is it fear? or simply that you have no idea what the world is like outside your own community? "you don't know what you don't know.
Racism, for me.
Obama closed 9 Border stations this week. Middle Eastern
terrorists said that this will make it alot more easier for them to come in and
hurt Americans. Don't believe me? Watch this newsclip which one terrorist says
he plans on bringing enough Anthrax over the Mexican border that can kill
300,000 Americans in an hour. Please pass this along so others are aware. There
has been little press about it. http://www.westernjournalism.com/proof-that-terrorists-are-entering-u-s-from-mexican-border/
nobody's is talking about George W. Bush failed policites the whole eight years he was in office.He did nothing for the American people.Our current president Mr. Barack Obama has tried in every way to get his agend past. You notice the Republicans has stated and plotted againt our President while he was being sworn into office. So that division to make my President a one term President. The seed of divisiveness was already plannted by our Republican party. The current President has created more jobs, Than our last President, the whole eight years he was in office.Now we have a Willow Mitt Romney running for the highest office in the land, don't want to have transparances in his adminastration. And we know nothing of this agenda.One thing we know , He ( Willard Mitt Romney)will slash and cut whats left of the middle class. While him and his rich friend take over America.Mitt has no attention on caring for the poor or middle class Americans.This Romney/ Ryan ticket is no good! not even the paper it's written on. He hasn't had a plan since. No plan now... No plan for the future.Just denie him a second term,is what the Republican party. Screw the American People if there not White. It took 47 years to get a right to vote,now my vote don't count!!!! Their rolling back the vote,taking women rights and making it hard for minority on every scale of life.Their lieing about everything. It don't matter how much they lie,cause they have all the money. How do we fight all this money that pouring into this election.WE HAVE TO STAND AGAINST THOSE WHO SEEKS TO DESTROY OR DIVIDE AMERICA. REMEMBER, UNITED WE STAND; DIVIDED WE SHALL FALL
And Obama has done what for this country. The dems have controlled congress since and have yet to even pass a budget in the 3 1/2 years Obama has been in office. I am not a fan of Bush but Obama has done @!$%# since he's been in office. The only thing he has done is guaranteed to bankrupt us with govt. Health Care which Mitt Romney has also stated in the past that he likes. Obama has drove up the debt caused massive inflation by bailing out big businesses and you think he's for the little man LOL. He has caused more racial and class warfare than any president we've ever had. Wake up and smell the coffee! Neither one of these parties care about what you want or need. The dems have controlled congress for most of my life the only times they haven't controlled it were in Bushs first term and Clintons last term. The Republicans have showed they are also the party of wasteful spending right along with the Dems. You wanna take your country back vote Libertarian!!
dls: That's exactly how it is. That's a lot for a conservative to comprehend. It appears the conservative voters here think that should Romney and his minions get in, they'll share in his $100M IRA (wonder how he did that), or maybe Ann Romney will welcome 'you people' into the WHouse.
What does it take to reach people, to have them understand that a repub/tparty is only for the continuation of the very rich, who are not interested in promoting "for the common good." The repub/tparty agenda is the destruction of the middle class, the working people that are the cornerstone of this country.
The repub/tparty is for limited rights for 99.9% of us. You all have seen the turnabout on abortion Romney and Ryan did this past weekend, that is, after Akin uncovered their real game. Don't believe for one minute that what they say today means one whit to them. Remember the 2010 campaign on jobs? Nothing came of it but legislation on, of all issues, women's stuff, and this shouldn't even be an issue - it's personal and private, it's each person's CHOICE. The main goal is to win and the heck with what the repub/tparty say to get elected, empty rhetoric. People will believe what makes them feel good at the time. Then cry about it after.
We're still working our way up the stream. You don't change captains midstream. President Obama has done an admirable job despite the odds. The President, he himself, has yet to disappoint in areas that are important to us. We're too impatient. This is not a TV show, with ads, where problems are solved within the hour. 300 million Americans wanting what they want for themselves. Prez Obama is looking for ALL of us. We need him to continue leading. Remember, Yes, WE can.
OBAMA 2012 and a strong Democratic Congress.
That was one of the most intelligent, well-thought out description of the progressive or liberal view of the roll of government that I have ever read. Well done! Government is the custodian of the public trust. Gov't protects the commons. We don't want to privatize everything, give it away to ownership by a corporation. Some things should just belong to and be available to all the people (like national parks, public education, fire and police, libraries, clean air and water, etc., etc.)
This appears to be a simple case of cranial rectal inversion. I don't WANT government running anything in my life. Obama wants to run EVERYTHING. Why destroy America?
@Matt,
Republicans control Congress.
I just don't think this is really true. As far as I can make out it's the republicans who said their goal was to make him a one-term president, and it's the republicans that have made statements such as their idea of compromise being democrats agreeing with them. I don't think obama/the democrats are completely guilt free, not at all, but from where I'm sitting the republicans are more culpable for this.
I don't think most democrats/liberals are completely comfortable with this, but what exactly is obama supposed to do? This is the only real way to compete with the kind of money republicans are able to get. And the fact that elections have become like this is down to ideas like "corporations are people", which comes primarily from republicans, doesn't it? You ask liberals and I think most would be for taking money/corporations out of elections and politics in general.
and likewise jim, i don't want corporations running anything in my life, either. i work hard for my paycheck and it is something i deserve, not a handout or something that i should bend over and kiss the butts of corporate america for. Americans are WORTH something, we are not just fodder for the rich, radical right!
being a woman, i will defy any law that tried to tell me what i can do with my own body!!!! this is MY body! if i choose to end a pregnancy during the first term, it is between me, my doctor and God. Keep the government out of my uterus!!!! keep the government out of my bedroom!!!! why is it ok for a man, in fact popular culture encourages men to have sex with everything that has a crack between their legs, but a woman who chooses to have sex outside of marriage is a whore? double standards JUST won't be acceptable.
ALL americans are equal. and instead of just insulting people you don't agree with, why don't you show us with your incredible intelligence how a corporate government run by business would be a benefit to americans. please explain how, giving the corporation i work for complete and unfettered control and power would somehow make MY life easier and better. every year we get a run down about how much money our company has made and then we're told that WE have to tighten our belts and WE have to live on less and work more, while the corporation makes hundreds of millions of dollars in profit and the exec make more and more money.
i refuse to live by the religious radical rights' demands. i am a free human being with my own faith, and NO ONE will ever dictate to me how i will live my life based on their religious beliefs. take you religious and i think you know what you can do with it.
Freedom - your "Citizens United" hero has taken down that video. Just as well, considering the source.
Brown is a right wing conservative who runs a not-for-profit, or in other words, gets tax exempt status for being a pain in the beep.
Dems have controlled congress since when? You do realize that the house is seperate from the senate and that the dem's do not control both.
The president is responsible for composing a budget and passing off to congress for reconciliation and sending back to him for approval or veto. Its the president fault congress cant reconcile a budget? You are clueless.
Why do you suppose that such a well thought out, well supported and well argued comment garners mostly comments peppered with derogatory remarks, if not name-calling, with little or lame logic? Kudos to dls-387641 for this effort to promote reason, sanity and balance. While it seems to have been hatched and nurtured in the left/logical brain, most responses seem to have emerged from respondents' right/emotive side. It is as difficult, if not impossible to argue with someone overwhelmed by emotion than it is to reason with a drunkard. Even if they chance to agree, they will claim they were "blacked out" the next morning, so it doesn't count. That's why there is no such thing as domestic violence, you know. It emerges from the emotive right brain...... and everyone knows that people are not responsible when they are either drunk or emotional. No one says,"I used logic, so I beat my wife," or "It made perfect sense to email a threat to the president," or "I have priorities, so I didn't have time to go to the polls. One vote doesn't make any difference anyway."
Mike
The Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress from 2007 to 2011. What did they do for those 4 years??
FREEDOM, your link has been taken down...hummm
Mike, the Dems in four years set up everything quite nicely for barry to take the country completely down.
Most of these idiots here have no clue what really is going on...
Go see, 2016 OBAMA'S AMERICA

Well said!
He should have been shot - soon as he displayed that shot gun - it should have been over.
Yep, just like the black kid with his hands locked in handcuffs behind him, that committed suicide in the back seat of a police car - you KNOW you can believe everything that the cops say! Yep, had that shotgun right on us....
His hands were actually cuffed in the front. Claimed an injury or something of that nature.
"Yep, just like the black kid with his hands locked in handcuffs behind him, that committed suicide in the back seat of a police car - you KNOW you can believe everything that the cops say! Yep, had that shotgun right on us...."
Cops deserve benefit of law and exoneration if innocent, just as much as you do. I'm a liberal, I don't think that all cops are good, but I'd damn well rather live in a world where we have them, than in a world where people like you automatically side with the gun toting lunkheads that they have to face.
The FBI should have been called immediately to investigate the "suicide" - and any questionable circumstances. Without any oversight, any local yokel police organization could go wrong - and I don't want a repeat of Mexico's horrible corruption problems. No such thing as too much oversight these days.
Every president who ever lived had death threats . It's comes with the job.
that is true, never been so public with the other President. This President has face more scrinity than any other President that has serve this nation
A police spokesman said Anton had Romney/Ryan stickers on his front lawn and when Anton opened the door he was wearing a cape and hood and Faux News was blaring from his TV.
Provide a link...prove it.
Ain't that the truth. I'm telling you, that Rove guy has them all excited - that's the only way he knows is to get 'em riled up and then they don't know what they're doing. We saw that in all the 8 years with that criminal regime of bush/cheney. If people had stayed sane, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq, We wouldn't have 4,000 military killed. But then, cheney and the bush family wouldn't have their oil consortium.
Typical Rightwing behavior,no big surprise.
I bet you were saying the same thing about the Colorado shootings... until they found out the shooter was on the LEFT. You douche bag.
A right winger in Washington State? Snowballs chance in h3ll.
typical leftist post. No surprise there either.
You have proof of political affiliation of him? Prove it.
Obama seems to have garnered the hatred of Al Qaida, and the right wing militant racist unemployed, and the left wing victimized welfare lackies.
Seems the middle ground kind of likes him.
Let me guess Anton is: a "God fearing" Christian.
Let me guess, TONYWARVET is an Obama shoe polisher.
Let me guess,Talk to the Hand you're a Romney a$$ kisser.
Let me guss talk to the hand ia an @!$%#
I don't have to guess to know you people are clueless!
The problem we face today is that too many people are having a rough time feeding theyre family, lack of employment, our standard of living is deteriorating real quick,we are losing our Rights as citizens, we are overtaxed, we have no say in the way government spends our tax dollar, AND we are losing our freedom, and soon we will have martial law, freedom of speech does not exist anymore, you say the wrong thing and voila, you are arrested, so with this in mind I am not surprised to hear this kind of news, soon there will be more, I am glad I lived in a good era, I'm 63, viet-nam vet (67-69) and retired with a good pension that I, I repeat, I provided for myself. Since the Viet-Nam conflict our soldiers are not fighting for our freedom but for big corporate greed, what we need is something drastic to change all this, till than, we will hear more of this kind of stuff from frustrated and overburdened WE THE PEOPLE!
And if a repub/tparty gets in the WHouse, we'll only have more of the same. Prez Obama has turned the economy around, it's a slow climb but getting there. Another 4 years for the Prez will show a defnite strengthening of the middle class, the working people. That's all we need, is the chance to right all the wrongs from the previous administration, and yes, darn it, it really was them that did it in for us.
Romney and Ryan will make it much worse, knowing that there are Americans who believe in the BS they're feeding us.
dgtman1: Thank you for your service. Good you returned to us and having a good life.
OBAMA 2012 and a Strong Democratic Congress
earthgirl,
Are you living on another Planet... Slowly turning everything around? Girl, Girl, You must wear earmuffs and blinders every day and only watch Bill Maher and CNN... There are other outlets of news and do your own research... But Barack is not a President by any means, except by title only... Hell he makes Jimmy Carter look GOOD... The last truly good Democratic President we had in Office was JFK...
There is lots of anger in the US now. I guess when everyone is desperate, they will resort to anything. We need to change the leadership of this country to an actual leader. Obama 'tried, we tried. Now it's time for a change'.
You are right. Don't vote for any teabaggers.
Yup the republicans have been in control of the house for TWO YEARS and what have they done? Nothing in TWO whole years!
Sorry Zeke, but "we" didn't try. "We" somehow expected Obama to magically fix everything by himself.
Congress sure did not "try" , except to BLOCK and impede him every chance they got with record abuse of filibusters in the Senate to this gop/tp HOUSE who won't let anything get out of committee pertaining to real job growth, infusing much needed revenue BACK into the economy and their decimation of public jobs. Obama is NOT A KING who can pass laws and make policy w/o question. Get OFF IT already.
just another case of guns in the wrong hands we have a huge social disease with all these avalable guns, Too many people have disturbed minds getting hands on these, more killed from guns now than car wrecks, glad they got this guy too many kill innocent people and they are hiding every where...
kAREN......this is not about guns, this is about a treat, and don't be so gullible to believe the cops
Oh, now too many guns cause "social disease." I think these blogs spread social disease, so they should be outlawed. It's a virus called hatred and blame, and it spreads so quickly on these pages. You better log off quickly, Karen. You wouldn't want to get tainted now, would you?
Another dumb remark..... Drunk drivers kill people with cars but are you willing to advocate the removable of all these people killing cars?
You should turn in all your knives cause people kill with them and also commit suicide. The world would be a better place if people like you advocated the removal of yourself.
Cars are NOT intended or designed for the purpose of KILLING. Stop with the stupid "red herring arguments" about cars, etc....BTW, I am a gun owner but believe in backgrond checks and the limits on the types of guns people are allowed to possess in the USA. It has gotten so OUT OF CONTROL, something MUST be done to curb/deter from nuts having access to firearms. For chrissake, you need more of a background check to apply for a JOB and while women's uteruses and pregnancies are bing policed with more restrictions since before Roe VS Wade, why should unstable crimminals and homegrown terrorists be able to purchase a gun? THIS is LUNACY!!!!
Just one comment for this guy. There's no sense being stupid....unless you can show it.
People are fed up with this government and there socialist policies. This isnt the first and wont be the last.
So... justified in your mind?
Yep, you had a nice place, 3 square meals, your Mom is a sweet lady, college education..but that wasn't good enough. You had to prove how "smart" you are.
Anton Caluori : yet another unstable man with a gun... one out of the many
Americans are tired of the POS in the white house. he is destroying America,I'm surprised it hasnt happened more often. vote the muslim POS out of office in Nov
Gunny, i'll pray for you. Maybe when you meet god he will forgive you. I doubt it but ya never know.
Dayum Gunny! Tell it like it is, baby!
OK, so you spoke your mind. Now tell us why you think he is destroying America. If you claim that he is, surely you have well thought out reasons, correct?
Not asking to be a smart ass, but you did bring it up.
Gunny, right on. This clown has done nothing but divide this country. It's the workers against the lazy low life government dole people.
He's done alot for the ILLEGALS competing for jobs with the LEGAL American citizens with his backdoor amnesty and the Mexican Drug Cartels love him for supplying weapons ( Fast and Furious) to shoot Border Patrol Agents. Unfortunately, he done alot but for the wrong country.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine example of speaking out of ones' arse.
I'm actually surprised he hasn't been taken out by now
If you think that the destruction of the USA started on January 20th, 2009 you are very naive.
I know ... it started Nov 2008!
Rail against the Demos, glorify the Repubs - but in the end, those middle class manufacturing jobs sent away in the 70s and 80s by those you glorify - are NEVER coming back. You got sold down the river by corporations trying to make an extra buck to look good for the stockholders. Better scrimp and save to earn enough to help your kids go to trade schools or college, it's their only hope - and it won't be cheap when the Repubs pull the plug on student aid. They don't need it for their kiddies, you know.
Quick quiz...
True or False
Obama has deported more illegals than Bush
Another...
This one is fill in the blank
Ronald Reagan (a _________— ) granted amnesty to over 3 million illegals in the 1980's.
Under the Obama Adminstration, a record number of illegals have been deported as border security was INCREASED. I love it how nobody gave a crap about this until President Obama got elected and as for Ronnie Reagan, he GAVE amnesty to illegals w/o question OR conditions like The Dream Act would do if we could ever get it passed. A plan, which incidently HAD some gop support until they went completely OFF THE DEEP END WITH THEIR "primary goal" to destroy Barack Obama's Presidency, no matter WHAT the cost to this country or how millions would either lose their jobs or not get hired by the so-called "job creators". The unemployment numbers would be at 7.3% if the public sector has not been so decimated by draconian budget cuts and something is not done to move H.R. 1351 thorugh this useless House, up to 3,500 P.O.s will close and what could as many as 100,000 USPS workers w/o a job when this atrocity is completely avoidable by the repeal of H.R. 6407-52 or lat the VERY least, completely eliminating Title IIIV that is forcing the P.O. to prefund retirements by over 5 billion dollars per year out of the Poistal Employees Benefit Retirement FUnd vs what they overpaid into the CSRS since 1971 which as a result of TWO non-partisan audits, resulted in the P.O. overpaying into that fund by 70 BILLION, however, they were mandated to put THOSE overpayments into the US Treasurty vs getting it rtnd to them. The 2006 law mandated the STEALING of that money from the PO in all out goal TO bankrupt them, blame it on the Postal Unions, poor management so the reich wing can arch right in and PRIVATIZE it.
Look up who has been the "real job killers" and drivers of record deficits since it sure is NOT the current Administration. By actual fact checking analysis of $$$ spent by previous Admininstrations, the present one has spent the LEAST since the before Reaganomics became the economic rule for the last 30+ years. Hate Pres Obama all you want but everything he has done has been forced to be deficit neutral and the 112th Congress has been the LEAST productive and WORST in HX. Fact!!! Research it haters of this President but I know you won't as clinging to your blind hatred of this man is so important to you, you'll continue to vote against your own self interests and the 95% of the country's populace to make a ridiculous point that will only result in our inevitable destruction.
I can only hope those who think in this deluded manner will finally wake up and see the error of thier ways in the next 71 days before we are in total control of WHAT WILL be a "fascist corporate totalitarian state" where the filthy rich write our legisaltion, stack the tax even more for their own selfish interests while the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves and have almost nothing left to do so.
Fools, such fools.
This one is aso fill in the blank...
______________— co-starred (actually second banana) in a film with a chimpanzee in the 1950's.
Howdidwegethere:
People have divided themselves. Take some responsibility for your own choices, for heaven's sake! Or if you prefer, blame the people who committed themselves to opposing Obama from the moment he was elected, before he had even done anything, and the people who followed in lock-step behind them.
If you think people hadn't divided themselves against Obama from the very beginning, you're lying to yourself.
It is amazing to think someone could be THAT against a man that promotes fairness, equality, compassion, common sense and good will towards the poor, middle classes, elderly, sick, dying, minority’s and disabled.....Such a shame.
Reverend
Not really, the guy was going after Obama. Who were you referring to in your post?
Reverend
The guy wasn't going after Romney. He was going for Obama. The man that promotes Racism, Violence, Hatred, Division, Socialism and Communism. Obama!!!
At Fuzzy-0457 It's still WRONG! No man should live in fear for there family nor there life.
In all fairness, the guy is no doubt suffering some sort of PTSD from his military service - that even with a college degree rendered him unable to function well as an adult. The paranoia he apparently is dealing with needs treated - hopefully he will just quietly be checked into the local VA hospital and get the help he so obviously needs.
You people need to make up your mind - is it communism or socialism. You wouldnt know the difference.
Socialism is the road to communism.
Aw, Snoop, don't confuse them with facts.
You can't be serious....
Anybody on dem or repub side knows as it is the actual fact socialism leads to communism
Reverend Marie Carew,
If you're speaking of Barack, didn't you get the 'MEMO', that was all lies, to the 'I Will Vote For Change Crowd'... None of those were kept... BwaHaHaHaHa! Voted for Change!!!!
Fuzzy-0457,
Wow, projecting much?
Also, LOL @ the idea of Romney being for fairness, equality, and goodwill toward the poor
I believe August 16th was when the round up begun..
As the liberals will claim, its all Bush's fault, Bush made him do it.
No, bush did not do it. But Ignorant ranters like you do encourage people like this But even Bush is a victim of right wing hate. Let me give you 2 definitions.
Liberal, from the word liberate, to give freedom etc.
Conservative: from the word conserve, to keep, to horde, To repel change or progress.
Get the picture yet? didn't think so
George
Well it would seem that your man Obama isn't a liberal after all considering the Bills he's signed into law. You know don't you; like the Bill he signed into law in January that makes peaceful protest a felony. A law that can land you in jail for up to 10 years for standing on a sidewalk if you are participating in a peaceful protester.
That law screams freedom and liberty, doesn't it.
But its okay, Obama claims he won't enforce this law and any other he's signed that have stripped us of our constitutional protections.
Well if he wasn't going to enforce them, then why did he signed them in the first place?
You're right it is Bush's fault. Probably had the guy waterboarded until he did what he was told. With Cheney's help. Figured I would make a stupid comment like others I've read here.
Yes it was Bush's fault.
