So I set up a meeting with my Representative

Wow, Total Blender, you are ignoring reality.

The Pathers were charged with an illegal crime. Intimidating registered voters at the door of a polling place with weapons is highly illegal. A club in hand is considered brandishing a weapon.

Carrying a handgun in plain sight outside of a federal zone was completely legal in NH and was not remotely close to the president, or an election zone. He did not remove his gun from his holster, so it was never brandished as a weapon.

Having an assault rifle slung over your shoulder is completely legal in AZ, as long as you are not in a federal venue. That also is not brandishing a weapon.

Who exactly were these 2 "right-wingers" trying to intimidate? Obviously not people trying to vote, they were not at a polling place. Obviously not the president, as they were not even in the federal venue. Did you feel intimidated while you sat at home and watched the TV?

They were at (or somewhat in proximity to) town hall meetings. The weapons are obviously a display of force to intimidate their political opposition.

Joe the Unlicensed Plumber was out the other day making suggestions that Congress should be "took out to the woodshed beat the livin' tar out of" or some shit. And about how he has no respect for congress.

The harder you try to find someone on the right that was allowed to do what the BP did the more ignorant you look.

As for joe the plumber, were you equally outraged when the left was saying Bush should be killed? I am guessing no.

Fact: The man with the rifle incident was a staged incident that police knew about ahead of time. It was about gun rights, not healthcare. There was no politcal opposition there for them to intimidate. They were outside the town hall, which is a federal venue. Weapons are not allowed at federal venues.

Fact: Last week, during Obama's health care town hall in New Hampshire, a man carrying a sign reading "It is time to water the tree of liberty" stood outside with a pistol strapped to his leg.
"It's a political statement," he told The Boston Globe. "If you don't use your rights, then you lose your rights."

These were town halls about healthcare, not gun rights. They were not intimidating anyone there. You have either a blatant disregards for facts, or a complete lack of common sense - which is it?

What does Joe the plumber have to do with any of this discussion? That's a ridiculous tangent to throw out there.
