Can you imagine the "liberal" media's response to a pro-Obama demonstrator with a gun?

It wouldn't even have to be an assault rifle or something like that, someone could just stick a cap gun or an air gun in a holster.

Here is what I'd think they say...

"Leftists try to stir up violence at rally!"
"Union thug spotted at Town Hall meeting brandishing a gun!"

And, of course, you can bet the farm that the right wing media would be abuzz with crazy people bringing weapons to rallies.

Someone should try it, but then again, the right wingers there actually might start shooting if they saw a guy with a gun AND a pro-Obama sign.

1. I guess I am lucky to have avoided getting shot going to the range

in my pickup w/ Obama 2008 bumper sticker.

Didn't know anyone with a gun will start shooting someone with pro-Obama material.

Wait? Think I might start shooting myself if I see my bumper sticker while armed?

2. And Faux news would report: "Lone Woman Shoots 7 people at Obama Rally. Of course..

...The British Press would report.: "Mary Hutchkins takes 7 pictures with her new Digital Camera" :)

5. Bigger still, what happens if a liberal carries a gun to a rally for a GOP official?

What would they be saying and what would happen if a liberal took a gun to an event with a republican President?

What would they have done if a liberal had taken a gun to a bu$h event?

Locked up, guarantee!

9. If we had stood in the "Free Speech Zones" with guns the bu$h regime

would have locked us up.
