"Save your bullets/ammo for the Obama administration."
*--these are the words, according to the local news, that were allegedly spoken by this radio host that's the subject of this story--*

Happy to see the Secret Service are taking allegations like this seriously.


HERNANDO COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- The U.S. Secret Service launched an investigation into local radio talk show host Bob Haa after complaints about comments he made on a Friday morning broadcast.

Haa is host of the Haa Wire show on WWJB-AM 1450 in Brooksville. The investigation was launched after complaints were filed that incendiary comments were made on the show about President Barack Obama.

"There's just no truth to it," Haa said.

Haa says he remembers the call. He says the caller was talking about target practice and ammunition. He says he told the caller to save their bullets.

"We're looking into what was allegedly said," said John Joyce, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's field office in Tampa. "We have yet to determine what was actually said that day."

The investigation was started after Hernando County administration staffer JoJo DiViccaro started receiving calls complaining that Haa was making threats and racist comments about Obama.

1. and how about rounding up Rep Foxx, Broun, McCotter & Gomert (plus Limbaugh) for inciting PANIC
within the elderly community, telling them Obama is going to kill them if his health care plan gets put through, "line them up", "tell them to take some pills and just die", "like Mao did", "death of the elderly", as these bastards have said?

2. if you can be tossed into jail for joking about a "Burning Bush" ...
then I don't think that concern over Haa's remark is overreacting ... considering the fact that, in some peoples' minds, he isn't the president, so it's not so much of a crime ...

4. Shouldn't be a real challenge for the SS to find out what Mr. Haa said on Friday.
I'm curious, too. I wonder if he's feelin' a little nervous right about now.
