VIDEOS- Hardball: Sen. Grassley chastised for ignoring Obama assassination threat

By GottaLaff



Chris Matthews is worried for President Obama's, and others', safety after this little stunt. What little stunt? Oh, nothing much, just Schmuck Assley allowing a WWII Vet to threaten Obama's life with a gun.



This has gotten so out of hand. How out of hand?

By his words, he seemed to be advocating something much stronger than a protest. Some in the audience applauded. One man booed.

That out of hand. People actually applauded a death threat.

The video below distorts the audio in portions of the man’s statement, but he apparently made reference to the “death panel” myth, suggesting he would be told to die after he “hit 80.” [...]

The Brady Campaign, an activist gun control organization named for James Brady, President Ronald Regan’s press secretary who was shot in the head during an assassination attempt, is not at all happy with Sen. Grassley.

From the Iowa Independent:

“It was a credit to the senator’s audience that they booed Mr. Eisenhower, but Sen. Grassley also has a responsibility as an elected official to categorically denounce Mr. Eisenhower’s statement and the sentiment behind it,” said Doug Pennington, assistant director of communications for Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Grassley may not have taken the threat seriously, Pennington said, since Eisenhower appears to be a senior citizen.

“Yet we recently saw 88 year-old James W. von Brunn shoot and kill a security officer at the Holocaust Memorial Museum here in Washington, DC,” he said. “Sen. Grassley should have taken Mr. Eisenhower and his words very seriously.”

Grassley is not fit for office. His words and actions of the past few days make that obvious.

I've about had my fill of hostile, violent nutcases and those who enable them.
