Health Care Reform Gets More Heated

This is bad. The guy is probably a vocal anti-abortion protester also. Protect the un-born but kill the living...maybe not though it seems it is often the case.

That literally makes me feel sick to my stomach and I'd say that no matter what President it referred to or what party, color, race, religion or anything else he happened to be! For ANYBODY to say this is OK makes me lose my faith in humanity, even if it were only 5% or 1%!!! This "person" - and I use that term loosely - should be jailed for a long, long time, in my opinion. There is free speech and then there is outright HATE speech. Hopefully the idiot with this sign had no real intentions of trying to carry out those threats but there are people - again, an overstatement - who are sick and evil enough to act on it. I heard yesterday threats on the President's life have increased by over 400% and yet funds to the Secret Service has been cut. I don't even think the latter should be reported but it's sure frightening, isn't it? Annie

This "man" absolutely crossed the line, both legally and in decency. He broke laws and now will have his day in court for it. As vile as he is, what will be just as vile (in the way of decency, not legally) will be the people who try to compare us all to him. That will be a lie.

As far as the poll goes I take that with a grain of salt.. I dont believe that 31 percent of them poll acutally think this. I would say foul play to make the repubs look bad. I will sit on the bench with this but I would not be suprised. He should be jailed with the a conspiracy to commit murder, those words are war words. Even in the regular population you hold that up saying something like that to a typical citizen you will get arrested. Never mind to the president and his family. That person was definately off the wall what was he/she thinking. What they get they deserve. Oh and if McCain was in office and this happened I would also say the same thing as well.

I think that they did the right thing turning him over to the secret service. Something like that is totally uncalled for. You can take the freedom of speech a little to far. I am also shocked that the people of this country would think that something like that is ok, what is this world coming to. I might not always agree with everything that is going on, but i would never wish anyone any harm like that.

I just checked out the article and the percentage of people that think he should not be investigated is up to 31%. They think that what he did is fine. I can't believe that their are that many people out their that think that what he did was ok.

I have to say that maybe morally this man was wrong. However, legally there should not be a problem. There is freedom of speech however, it only seems to apply to some people not all as well as some subjects. It seems that if you dislike the president and his family which I do not understand his family, you must keep your opinions to yourself. I think that since we give free speech to all organizations and citizens that are not even legal citizen of the US that this man has a right to his own opinion. I may not agree with his views or how he expressed them but I do not see why he should be arrested and treated like a criminal for expressing an opinion. I have listened to hundreds of people bad mouth Bush and other polititions as well and they are still walking around. I know that my post will not be well taken but that is ok because this is my opinion as well. When you say it is ok for illegal immigrants to protest and say what they want why would you be upset when this man holds up a sign. When you have a President who has no idea of the facts in the case where a black man was arrested in his own home by a white police officer, and makes racial comments on television about the case. Well that is ok too. You can not have free speech for some and not all. You do not have to agree with the persons views but he has a right to them just the same. You do not even have to like him personally but they are his views. Maybe the only thing in this world that we really have that is our own is out point of view. I personally do not like the President but that is my opinion. I also do not like politicians in general and it would not bother me if they all fell off the face of the earth. It is not really personal just my opinion. Politicians have gotten this world in the mess it is in and they are not trying to fix the problem just put more money in their own pocketbook. Again just my opinion.

I can't want to see how many of the republicans who attacked David Letterman for going after Palin's kids, speak about this. I noticed tonight that every poll on AOL's political site wasn't leaning to the right, it was falling over on the right side (except for the question about Palin which was almost 50 - 50).

It's a shame that Obama and the, "let us force our health care bill down your throats," democrats have made some people so angry they would make such an unfortunate statement. Of course, one has to wonder if it was a plant to make the protesters look bad in the eyes of the undecided.

I don't about the politics in your country but do not be bother enough because as I watch on Television networks your president looking into the benefits of people therein. Don't blame the president he only works for your good. If you cannot help your president and always angry on him. What happen in your country...that called a country of good hope. As I remember president Kennedy speech if I am not mistaken, says; "Don't ask the government what the government do unto you but ask what you can do to your country". Please correct me If I am wrong... have a great day!

I think this is uncalled for, there are better ways to protest the garbage Obama and Congress are trying to push down our throats.

Not sure what stupid crap you think Bush did, but that's unimportant to the topic. Flat out, the dude was wrong. Impeach, sure. Remove, sure. Vote out, sure. Oppose at all costs, no doubt. But threaten the president, no matter who he is, or what he's done? Ah... no. No don't think so. Toss the guy in jail, and lets get back to removing the scum bag president which never should have been elected.

There is always the few nutjobs out there that make the rest of us look crazy.Who knows,maybe it's one of Obama's union thugs trying to make us look bad.Obama's townhall meeting was just an infomercial for him.He bused in his supporters.Even the little girl's question was written down for her and her mother is a BIG Obama supporter.
