doesn't the threat of gun violence

trump the second amendment? this has NOTHING to do with health care and we all know it. it has to do with the fear of a black president. the townfolk (they ARE simple remember) are really not at fault (again, they have NO minds of their own). they are being riled up and provoked by the good ol' boy network. they're telling lies and demanding violence. what sort of country are we turning into? it was ok for king george and his band of merry pranksters to bring us into an illegal, unjust and immoral war. it was ok for them to let people suffer and/or die in THIS country (katrina for one). it was ok for them to fund abstinance only education when that does NOTHING for anyone. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN NOT TO WORK. it was ok for them to toss money everywhere but in the pockets of their own citizens (the regular ones that is. you and i). it was ok for us to be lied to (weapons of mass destruction, NO GLOBAL WARMING, "intelligent" design). where were these protesters then? our country was put in a downward spiral with little chance of recovery. no. they are blaming it ALL on a black man but they are too afraid to say it

Health care opponent calls for town hall violence via Twitter

By Muriel Kane
Update: SEIU gets phone call “threatening to teach union officials a thing or two about ‘the Second Amendment’”

Brian Beutler reported at Talking Points Memo on Friday that a health care protester in New Mexico had been encouraging those following him on Twitter to bring their guns to town hall meetings — and use them if provoked.

“If ACORN/SEIU attends these meetings for disruptive purposes, and you have a license to carry….carry,” Scott Oskay wrote in one tweet. In another, he suggested, “Stop being peaceful, and hurt them. Badly.”

The Service Employees Industrial Union (SEIU) appears the to be latest boogeymen for the anti-health care protesters. Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, for example, claimed on Friday that “SEIU thugs rolled up their sleeves and attacked a black conservative protester in St. Louis.”...

NM GOP leader under fire for 'Hispanics above blacks' slur
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
A local Republican Party leader in New Mexico has set off a firestorm by suggesting in an interview that Hispanics are racists who won't vote for a black candidate. Now even the state Republican chairman is calling for his resignation.

Fernando C' de Baca, who heads the GOP in Bernalillo County, was quoted by BBC reporter Jon Kelly on Friday as saying that even though the polls show Barack Obama with a substantial lead over John McCain among Hispanic voters, "The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors. African-Americans came here as slaves. ... Hispanics consider themselves above blacks. They won't vote for a black president."

The Hispanic community has reacted to de Baca's remarks with anger. Ralph Arellanes of the Hispanic Roundtable of New Mexico told CNN, "I'm insulted and I'm outraged." The Obama campaign issued a similar statement by the speaker of the New Mexico House, Democrat Ben Lujan, saying, "I am outraged. ... It is an insult to the Hispanic community and to all of the voters of New Mexico.."
