It is talk like this that makes me ashamed of what people are thinking. I was an adult in the 60s and trust me when I say it was a time the USA cried.

Satire? Over the edge a bit.

The one thing about conservatives is their ability to laugh at themselves and take a joke (even a bad one). But try to make a joke about a liberal and you’re likely to have the FBI show up at your door. For instance, who’s making jokes on late night television about Obama’s big ears? Who’s making jokes about where he was born and if he was born in Kenya like his Kenyan Grandma says? Who’s making jokes about Frank Marshall Davis and William Ayers and Bernadene Dohrn and their connection to Obama?

I hear crickets chirping but no answers coming. No humor? Can’t take a joke?

You Might Be A Liberal/Democrat If You Can’t Take A Joke.

LUFKIN — 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 Lufkin mother, a Republican, said she received a call on her cellphone 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 Bush in 2002.

Obama Campaign Communications for Texas director Josh Taylor declined to comment Monday, 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.

Hughes said she was surprised to see two Secret Service agents at her door, and upset to learn that the conversation she had with the volunteer apparently had not been recorded.

“I find it hard to believe that (campaign volunteers) don’t tape these calls. They call people unsolicited and they aren’t monitoring the calls or recording them? I think that is absolutely ridiculous,” she said. “I mean, how often must this happen – that someone is rude to a volunteer that they don’t want to talk to?”
