Man With Assault Rifle Outside Obama Event: 'We Will Forcefully Resist'
I think the Secret Service/ATF owes this guy a visit today. Sounds like a threat to me, not just to the President but the entire government.

Man With Assault Rifle Outside Obama Event: 'We Will Forcefully Resist'
By Rachel Slajda - August 18, 2009, 10:15AM

In a YouTube video, the man who carried a semi-automatic assault rifle outside yesterday's presidential event tells fellow demonstrators "We will forcefully resist people imposing their will on us through the strength of the majority with a vote."

The man, only identified as "Chris," spoke against taxation: "Just because you sic the government on people doesn't make it morally OK to steal money from people. Taxation is theft."

1. Taxes are the price you pay for civilized society, dude.
Don't like it? Leave the country.

3. If this idiot doesn't want to pay taxes he should get off our public roads
and all other things constructed using taxpayers dollars.

5. So, Chris, when GWB was in charge of taxing, did you protest as forcibly
or, is having a Black President getting your ire up?

11. That will make the gun nuts scream bloody murder
According to them, you can walk right up to the president with an arsenal on board, and until you actually pull the trigger, you haven't done anything wrong.

15. Where was "Chris" when Bush wanted his $3 trillion "wargasm"
Or when Con Street and the banksters took the American taxpayer for 100s of billions?

Where was he then? I don't recall "Chris" or any other teabagger protesting the rifling of the US Treasury when the con-servatives threw open the doors and scurried away with bagfuls of loot.

I see "Chris" only when a president of African-American ancestry is pushing for health-care for all Americans...

16. Hmmmmm? Semi-auto at a Presidential rally? Methinks that we are going to see
more and more people showing up with displayed in the open weapons at rallies, if not just for the attention they all get. This could get very ugly if multiple people show up with weapons and identify themselves as part of a group.

26. Might be good overall
Having one of these loons start something might be the best thing for the country. We just need to be ready to do something besides type angrily at DU if it starts.

18. Imposing their will on us through the strength of the majority with a vote
Hello, that is democracy. Idiot. Not enough people voted for the other guy. And even McLame would use your taxes to do something...maybe bomb Iran.

22. Forcefully resist WHAT?
This brother is making a mistake. If he's a conservative & gun owner then that is his right and I fully support it. But he should not let himself be paraded around as the "token black person" to deflect attention from the racist core of these teabagging/anti-tax groups.

They will use him while maligning black people behind his back.

He wants to "forcefully resist" what the majority has voted for? Yeah, ok, good luck with that.

why do you think you're one of the plutocracy? they don't think you are, but i'm sure they appreciate you defending their interests on principle.

37. O.M.G.!
"We will forcefully resist people imposing their will on us through the strength of the majority with a vote."


Last I looked, that was called fascism! The point of a gun over the strength of the vote....All I can say is O.M.G!
