authoritarian tactics from the fringe right...
Intimidation is often used when people want to silence opinions they don't find popular. The recent gun's popping up at Obama events is an example of this. They have a right to do this, but its very telling about their tactics as these are calculated actions.
One of the guys was referenced Jefferson's “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Between Obama and this wing nut I can tell you which one is the patriot and which one is the tyrant. Its a good thing most tyrants like these guys can't get political power and therefore can't act on their authoritarian pathologies.
Thank god we live in America... many in the Third World don't have the the strong democratic processes that protect people from these crazies getting high up into government...
