Presidential town hall and gun show

[prog]

Boy do I have a bad feeling about this.

This is probably the first time I really have to ask what usually strikes me as a lame question: can you imagine what would have happened if anyone pulled this shit around our previous president?

You couldn't make it near Bush wearing a t-shirt that opposed his administration's goals.

But let's be honest -- no one let the armed protesters near Obama either. I doubt he was even within range of those rifles.

Still -- it's disturbing that the right-wing feels they needed them at all. We're debating healthcare for fuck's sake. They're the ones making it sound like everyone is going to die if anymore legislation passes. Overreaction is a key sign of a coward.
