A Scene From Outside Obama's Town Hall: Armed and Stupid

From the scene outside Obama's New Hampshire town hall on health care.

"The local police tell MSNBC that the man is legally carrying the gun, is nowhere near where the President will be, and is 'under constant surveillance,'"reports Talking Points Memo. But the next image shows the guy wants you to think he means business.

Man holding sign that reads, 'IT IS TIME TO WATER THE TREE OF LIBERTY!'


The sign refers to a quote by Thomas Jefferson; "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants." From an armed nut, this can't be taken as anything other than a threat.

This is what passes for reasoned discourse on the right, "Do what I want... Or I'll kill you."

Fuck off, buddy.

What a compelling argument! I'll bet you spent hours thinking that up.

Notice all the dramatic and vivid imagery the wingnuts have been using?

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed with blood...when government fears the people..."

These are two quotes making the wingnut rounds in heavy rotation.

And for what?

Health insurance reform?! Domestic spending...?!

Real fucking heroes.
