      Wonder what would have happen if these people at the TownHall Meetings "yelling", "screaming", and "wanting their America back" would have been done by Minorities instead? Would it be a non-major news story that run here and there at the end of the week from only one broadcast network like ABC did here so wonderfully? Would it be no big news story to report (Chuck Todd) of a minority man showing up with a loaded gun strapped to his leg with a sign (like the man held-up in New Hampshire) at a Republican Presidential TownHall Meeting to discuss HealthCare Reform? But hey, these people are just 'angry' over the HealthCare Reform Bills in Congress that's ALL. But wonder if they were Minorities, would MSM still see non-story too? Nope. Just shameful America.

        In West LA yesterday, there was an all-day standoff at the Federal Building at Wilshire and Veteran, where the Secret Service had attempted to arrest a 56-year old man who had threatened to blow up the White House.

        The LA Times had a small article on page 10 which concentrated almost exclusively on how the police finally subdued him. Granted, that's newsworthy, but all they said about the guy's motives was that he appeared to have "some sort of mental illness". So clearly we're in full Move Along Folks, Nothing To See Here mode.

          And will be until someone finally pulls off the assassination, at which point we'll all be assured that it's as much liberals' fault as conservatives'...

        It would have been the story of the century. "Uppity blacks riot at town hall meetings, threaten elected officials with death if they don't pay reparations!"

      Well -- I find it interesting that ABC cited Limpballs and Becky with regard to threats . . . as opposed to, say, SEIU, ACORN, the Democratic Party, and the rest of the so-called "legbreaking thugs" . . .

        You realize, of course, that ACORN, the SEIU, and Democratic party have never advocated violence the way that Limbaugh and Beck do, so your comment is all talking point and has nothing to do with reality.

          Perhaps I should have placed "[sarcasm]" at the end of my post . . . I was referring to Limpy, Becky, and other wingnut screamers who claim {incorrectly} that all the violence at town hall meetings is being fomented by SEIU . . .
