4. Did anyone bother to read the article?

[ThatPoetGuy]

5. I'll take that bet.

Did you read the article? He's angry at Obama because he hasn't done enough to help African-Americans. FOX News listeners believe Obama is raising taxes on the rich so poor black people can get 6-figure wages from welfare.

This is an angry, wounded old man, disgruntled with his life and his health.

6. A cry for help; I hope he gets the help he needs. nt

[obliviously]

7. How odd, a few hours ago we were ready to start hanging media!

[ZombieHorde]

9. You can PM me your paycheck

He was sick of the VA jerking him around, felt suicidal and decided to go for broke with an alarming cry for help - one that got him a mental evaluation courtesy of the SS and the courts.

10. Thank Christ A Guy LIke That Can Have All The Guns He Wants.

11. With the exception of Aaron Burr...

anybody who's actually going to shoot the President isn't going to announce it first.

[Paladin]

12. Dream On. (n/t)

[SHRED]

13. The irony is...

...he spent his working life receiving a "socialistic" paycheck (fire fighter).

These people are brain-dead booger eaters.

18. Did you actually READ the article?

Wow this place blows my mind sometimes!

If you won't bother to click a link, here is a paragraph from the story!

( snip )

Michael Bowden allegedly first spoke of killing Obama last week during a “routine check-up” at a Veterans Administration clinic in Spartanburg. Bowden, pictured in the mug shot at right, told a nurse that he “was thinking of traveling to Washington, DC, to shoot the President (Obama) because he is not doing enough to help African Americans,” according to an affidavit sworn by Agent Mark Booth.

WHERE does it say anything about him being against socialism or having any teabag philosophies?

14. I wonder if he posts on DU?

:sarcasm:

[PBS Poll-435]

15. Just in General Discussion

:P

[Phx_Dem]

16. And probably without the sarcasm smilie.

Which might be appropriate.

17. You should probably read the article before betting paychecks...

"and then told a mental health nurse that he 'was thinking of traveling to Washington, D.C., to shoot the president because he was not doing enough to help African Americans,' according to the affidavit."

Does this really sound like a Beck/Fox News "listener"?

The article reads that he was a depressed elderly man trying to get attention. He claims his reason for threatening the President was because Obama was not doing enough to help African Americans. Nothing at all in this article would indicate his motivation came from Fox News or Glenn Beck.

19. He wants to kill the Prez cuz Obama is not doing enough to help

African-Americans. Read the article before posting comments please. Snippet:

"He was thinking of traveling to Washington, D.C., to shoot the president because he was not doing enough to help African Americans," according to the affidavit."

[Debuttante]

20. Probably a Southern religious bigot

It's always that kind.
