A Lufkin, Texas republican is pissed that an Obama volunteer turned her into the Secret Service

LOL! Now she wants to make a counter-complaint against the volunteer.:-)

Secret Service questions Lufkin woman over alleged Obama threat
By JESSICA SAVAGE
Cox News Service

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.”

1. So, when their words come back at them, they don't like that too much, huh?

I will certainly be turning in anyone who makes such a comment. I won't give them any benefits of the doubt, as there have been too many assassinated liberals: the Kennedy brothers, MLK, Medgar Evers, etc.

6. Me, too. They won't get to say it twice.

11. Death threats are always OK with you freeper-types, eh?

Enjoy your stay. :eyes:

12. welcome to DU, i think

you chose THAT for your first post?

[onethatcares]

14. I believe they chose that as their last post too.

oh well.:rofl:

[Vektor]

2. How is what she claimed to ACTUALLY say supposed to make her look any more sane?

She acts as if she is being falsely accused of making a death threat, and defends herself by saying that her ACTUAL quote was "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"...

Um, yeah, because that GIBBERISH is so much more acceptable. What a freak.

My god. These people are a waste of skin.

3. These people are so mentally ill...and the barracuda is riling them up.

It is VERY unnerving...:scared:

They really are inciting violence.

4. Sounds like something Palin would say

Hospital closets?

[Rocknrule]

5. At least the SS is actually following up on this shit

I was thinking they only consider it illegal and a credible threat if it's against a Republican

Now if only they would get the "Kill him!" guy and throw his ass in Gitmo. Preferably Palin along with him.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

8. What would you throw Palin in Gitmo for?

[Winterblues]

13. For shits and giggles

:shrug:

7. Too bad there wasn't a recording of the conversation.

[wvbygod]

10. Who do you believe? Pick one

They both sound like losers. Nothing here warrants a SS visit.

Brownshirt wannabees.

15. I don't think the phonebanker was out of hand.

again, it seems a lot of liberals have been killed in the past. What are your terms for calling the SS?

Agent Mike, what do you think?:hi:

16. I believe the volunteer. I doubt the volunteer would have bothered to report

a criticism of Obama being a socialist, and falsly accusing him of votes on a bill that was different that her version. I'm also positive that the SS would NEVER have paid her a personal visit for nothing more than an uninformed statement.

A personal friend of mine is an SS agent. They take their job very very seriously, and if anyone thinks they shouldn't follow-up on every angry threat, remember, one of our Presidents was killed in Texas!

17. I had one turn me into a newt!

18. These pinheads! 'Socialist' isn't any more a 'bad word' than 'Liberal', but they'll never get it.
