This is what they meant by “in your face”
A glimpse of things to come?
Via the Lufkin Daily News:
A Lufkin woman received a surprise visit from the Secret Service last week because of a “death threat” comment she reportedly made about Sen. Barack Obama to a campaign volunteer asking for her support of the presidential candidate.
Two federal agents arrived at Jessica Hughes’ home Thursday to ask her if she said, “I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor.”
Hughes said her words were deliberately twisted by a volunteer who was apparently unhappy Hughes was rude during a phone conversation the two had. The Lufkin mother, a Republican, said she received a call on her cell phone Wednesday from a woman with the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.
“She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, ‘No, I don’t support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.’ (And then) I hung up.”
(Hughes is referring to a “born alive” Illinois bill that did not pass in the Illinois state Senate in 2005 and had previously been opposed by Obama because he said it undermined Roe v. Wade, according to FactCheck.org, a non-partisan organization. A federal version of the bill, which Obama said he would have supported, passed by unanimous consent and was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2002.)
Obama Campaign Communications for Texas director Josh Taylor declined to comment Monday, refusing to answer any questions and referring the matter to the Secret Service, which he said is conducting an investigation. A message left with a Secret Service agent in Houston was not immediately returned.
This is what they meant by getting “in your face.”

I have a feeling that all the dems who sent thousands to Obama are going to want that money back soon.
I call dibs on the lavender burka!!
Not to mention all of those overseas $25 donors.
I highly doubt you haven’t yet seen this footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVFWahLTdUo

That is HIGHlarious. The growling is really…something…disturbing…
And I’ll return the favor with this, although you’ve probably seen it.
This post is about accusing a person with saying something she did not. A false accusation. I am well aware of this type intimidation. It is vile and chilling.
We can expect more and worse if BHO is elected.
Uh…did Obama call their home? No? Oh — then, maybe you should try taking issue with the people who did.
Please. You’re either playing dumb or you really, genuinely are dumb. One or the other.
P.S. You may have noticed MM has never used Obama’s middle name — because she recognizes the intent of its usage. In fact, in an interview, she complained about liberal talking heads that invoked “my foreign sounding maiden name (Maglalang) as some sort of game winning argument” and discusses her disgust that no one said, “That’s a really dumb way to argue against somebody. Can we all just grow up?”
Issues are issues. Trying to make someone seem scary based on their foreign sounding name is just silly.
WHAT
IS WRONG
WITH
A
MIDDLE NAME?
Mine’s Anthony. Call me “Tony” and I might not like it. I might challenge you to a duel, but I won’t WHINE like a freakin’ GIRL about it.
Grow a pair, BHO.
I do take issue with the people who called their home. I never said Obama did it. But I would bet my 401k – such as it is now – that most of the phone calls that came in to the US Counsel’s office and to Mike & Christa’s home were NOT from people in our county – not against a man who enjoys such popularity here. This is a coordinated attack against a good & decent man. And, looking at previous Obama supporter tactics, I’m concluding it appears to be their modis operandi (sp?) Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
Sorry, not dumb. At least, much wiser than you.
I suspect that’s not a very high threshold to measure up to, though, from reading many of your previous posts.
Maybe if this happened to someone in your family, you’d look at it differently.
Maybe.
Despicable fascists.
Imagine an America with those people running the FBI,IRS, and FCC.
Good bye Bill of Rights.
Republicans will remove only those “voters” that were illegally registered in the first place, Chapoutier.
get it?
Obama supporters do strike me as brownshirt-like in their demeanor…shouldn’t they be worshipping at the Altar of Diversity like they say they want us to do?
Well, we will see in a few weeks I am afraid…
I just have one word to put out there to explain it all:
