    It's too easy to forget (for some people) but the second most lethal terrorist action on American soil was carried out by an Army-trained white dude with a grudge against the government and a hatred of liberals. A "super patriot," if you will. A "super-patriot" who bombed a preschool.

    What is beyond scary is how we seem to have bottomless troughs of lucre to spend on waging a war that I still have yet to hear someone articulate an express and achievable goal for, yet the issue of funding the Secret Service is coming under scrutiny for possible cuts to be made in light of the budget crisis brought on by the federal bailout of Wall Street, the war in Iraq, etc.

    Call me crazy here but if I am president, much less the first black president to be elected, any legislation that crosses my desk that even hints of cutting the Secret Service and all it provides gets bounced out of hand. Anything short of that is insanity defined.

    I would like to see one of these brave patriots take on Rahm Emanuel.

    @Ogiri W Surie: I think Rahm's preferred weapon is a steak knife, but that might not even be necessary after he finishes breaking their soul armed only with his vocabulary.

    Not sure if it was on purpose, but the first line says "The Nature of President Obama's Death."

    You could re-work it to say: "The Nature of the Death Threats Against President Obama...."

    I'm just saying.

    Interestingly enough, Rahm Emmanuel is the one Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano—whose agency has overseen the Secret Service since it was taken over from the Department of Treasury in 2003—with everything accumulated by their Internet Threat Desk.

    This is precisely the kind of sentence that the crazies write!

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Is the one that Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano does what with everything accumulated by their Internet Threat Desk? Does she beat him with with everything accumulated by their Internet Threat Desk? Does she erotically stimulate him with everything accumulated by their Internet Threat Desk?

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Are you referring to the kind that hints at conspiracy, or the kind that's a fragment?

    Upon closer inspection, I've realized that your quote is missing a chunk.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: I had to take a snack break after wading through that sentence.

    I've commented previously on the most disturbing aspect of this situation - the light jail time, if any at all, that's being given to these people. (See the Denver "incident." )And my own paranoid - or not - thoughts about why that is.

    So I didn't read it - I hope that Brek guy didn't get his job back. (What a cliche - the impotent-feeling man getting puffed up on his guns and the false power of his security gig.)

    America: Full of the Crazy (and their enablers). And the beloved 2nd Amendment.

    @NorthernLite: Actually, equally if not more disturbing are the Secret Service deficiencies revealed in Ron Kessler's recent book, including underfunding, inadequate armaments, understaffing, big turnover, training cutbacks, inadequate screening of the audiences at campaign events, and management that airily dismisses all of these issues.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: They've done a stellar job. The sentence is so poorly structured, no one would ever believe that it had at some point been worse.
