DEFEND OUR POLITICIANS!

We can't let the right threaten our pols. We have to show up in numbers too. They are astro-turfing. We have more people.



If we're going to confront them we need to study their videos.

On Monday July 27 2009 Senator Claire McCaskill's office held a town hall meeting at Forest Park Community College in St. Louis... A Tea Party Protest broke out.

Barack Obama: Secret Service Now Attempting Intimidation of Tea Party Patriots? *Updated*
July 31, 2009 in General
Tags: Assault Weapons, Barack Obama, Combat Assault Team, Intimidation, Obama Corps, Secret Service


This is certainly disturbing news.



Reports from Tea Party protesters in Bristol, Virginia, report that the presidential motorcade escorting Barack Obama to a town hall style meeting included an SUV of Secret Service agents with windows open and weapons leveled at the protesters on the street.

The enlarged segment of a photograph, posted on Gateway Pundit, is inconclusive, but eyewitnesses, many who called a local talk radio show, all seem to have witnessed the same thing.

One commenter at the blog Somebody Needs to Say It writes that the Virginia State Police, providing roadside security were not ‘pleased’ to have a gun pointed at their backs.

Yes we did have a M4 pointed at us. The VA State police where not pleased either to have a gun pointed at their backs. I have never been at a motorcade where the one suv filled with some special op or something had all the windows down showing the arsenal either.
The car with the M4 was 17 card back from Obama’s Limo way to far back to have prevented anything.

Knowing the professionalism of the Secret Service, and having been exposed to their procedures, I immediately questioned if this was the same organization that I have seen in the past. Or is this something new?

Perhaps this is the first sighting of the Obama Corps. Only time will tell.

**Updated**

Commenters on Gateway Pundit say that this is standard operating procedure for Presidential motorcades, that this vehicle is the Combat Assault Team (CAT) which is NOT part of the personal protection team which many of us are familiar with. Even so, some mention that they have never heard of them pointing their weapons at civilians.

**2nd Update**

Video of the motorcade. It appears the vehicle in question was NOT an SUV.



Breda Writes:

Obama rolls by in his limo about 40 seconds into the video and at about 1:38, a dark sedan passes the camera, back window rolled down. You can hear some people in the crowd begin to exclaim after they realize there was an agent in the back seat pointing a rifle at them. This is vastly different than the standard image of a member of the U.S. Secret Service Counter Assault Team in the back of a motorcade SUV.

Hat Tip: The Breda Fallacy

10. More threats
Edited on Fri Jul-31-09 05:06 PM by Joanne98
We are the people and our voices will be heard.
July 31, 2009 By: Carolyn Hileman Category: Carolyn Hileman

We are the people and our voices will be heard.
Carolyn Hileman

The good news is congress people are afraid to go to town hall meetings and one had to have a police escort to leave, the bad news is they still don’t get it, they struck a deal late last night in committee to help pass this bill when they come back. They may not be having town hall meetings, but they still have offices and it is time they saw a tea party up close and personal, while you are there have several copies of petitions for their impeachment or recall and be getting people to sign it. You might not have to use those petitions but you want them to know for a fact that you have them, call the media and let them know you are going to be there and that you will be collecting signatures for the removal of your congressman or woman. That way if they refuse to go to their office they will know you are there and you mean business.

People all over this country are waking up, they are finding out what is in this bill and they are not liking it, but we still have the democrats who are out there saying we do not know what is best, to them our voices mean nothing. They should have walked into those halls carrying with them the indignation of the people but our voices are not welcome there, they sure have a lot of nerve telling us our voices are not worthy of being heard in a house that we the people paid for. This is the battle of our lives, or the battle of our death but it is a battle we simply cannot retreat from. We stand for every single grandmother who has managed to live long enough to hear the president of the United States of America say she was the cause of our high deficit, we stand for the grand father who has paid his taxes, who bled for his country and if this passes will have some stranger tell him when it is time for him to just give up.

We are standing for the unborn child, who has never even had a chance to do wrong and yet is sentenced to die every second of every day. We stand for our selves, our children and their children and most of all we stand for our freedom. We stand for our country, we stand for our people it may not be pretty when we get there but it will be real and the people will be heard. You can run but you cannot hide from the justice of the people, you can lie to some of the people some of the time, but your days of lying to our faces are over, we will not tolerate this any more. If it means we must impeach or recall them all the American people are ready for that eventuality. You may not degrade our people and get away with it any longer, you may not wrongly accuse our elderly and poor of being to expensive to maintain, you may not selectively euthanize at the beginning and end of life, we will not give you that power. We are the people of the United States of America, the people you work for, we are the people and our voices will be heard.
