5. And at Freerepublic, ten guys are saying they were there and the SS said "We agree with you, but..."
Claiming that every secret service guy whispered to them "We agree with you and we hate the president, but this is our job, so we have to boot you out, but GOD BLESS EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR JESUS CHRIST!!!!!"

That'll be the meme for the next 20 months, the ten hero freepers who "were there" and heard this, with their own ears, from the secret service guys.

12. You know why this is bullshit? Not for the reasons you might think.
It is bullshit because that would be absolutely the most unprofessional thing the SS could possibly do, and its an utter insult to the SS to claim that they would say something like that.

They wouldn't whisper that to people protesting Bush. They wouldn't whisper that to people protesting Obama.

They are utmost professionals, and claiming the would do something like this about any president is an insult.

I almost posted the exact same response.

There's no way in hell any Secret Service agent would do that, regardless of any political bent.

22. Same here
Knew it was bullshit the second I read it. These men and women are professionals and to imply they would do something so egregious is downright slanderous.

15. Ummm..... I am very much quite aware of that.
My point is that the freepers are the type who would claim such a thing.

I hope you can tell the difference between me writing what I think the freepers would write, and me thinking something is true.

19. By "you" I meant a general "you"
As in...its not about whether the SS like Obama or not. It wouldn't matter.

Didn't mean you in particular.

There is NO WAY that the Secret Service said anything to these fucking idiots.

They are so full of shit -- but the rest of the mouth breathers will believe it.

25. You are right
I was around quite a few SS agents while Bush was prez and they are indeed professional and focus on their jobs. I can't imagine any of them saying ANYTHING to a protester.

44. EXACTLY - I've seen these guys in action just a few times, and
realize they would NEVER interject commentary while they were involved in performing their duties.

The Freakers really do believe everyone is as gullible as they are!

31. Give them what they want.
Cut off the socialistic programs ( Social Security and Medicare ) and I dont' think they'll quite make it twenty years.

23. Oh, the irony - the dude wearing the Air Force - Retired hat
holding the Palin sign. Isn't the military funded by our tax dollars? If this old coot is indeed retired Air Force, isn't his retirement (including medical) being funded by our tax dollars? These people are so morainc they make my head hurt.

24. They look like such a happy, cheerful bunch
perhaps they should have foregone the tea parties for the Ex-Lax no more constipation parties.

26. On Jan 19 lots of shoes were thrown over that fence onto the WH lawn
Did they shut down that protest? I sure didn't hear that they had. I also had friends there and none of them said anything about the SS or their shoe throwing being stopped.

So I don't get it. Aren't shoes more dangerous projectiles than boxes of tea?

35. Actually they never said it was a box of tea from what I gathered.
It was a box of something and the SS is looking into it. Plus a box versus a shoe...bombs are nicely packaged in boxes most of the time.

45. They had it wrong. Check out the Huffpost article and the video.
They aren't sure what it was...just a well wrapped box.
