Another nut outside another Congressional town hall:
Authorities in Hagerstown say they turned over to the Secret Service a man who was holding a sign reading “Death to Obama” outside a town hall meeting on health care reform.
Washington County Sheriff’s Capt. Peter Lazich says the sign also read, “Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids.”
He says U.S. Secret Service agents took the unidentified 51-year-old man into custody Wednesday afternoon after deputies detained him.
This man isn’t reflective of everyone out there, of course, but I can’t help but wonder if the incendiary rhetoric, the lies about death panels, and the claims about imminent imposition of martial law aren’t encouraging some truly bad people to think about doing some truly bad things.
Here’s video of the town hall itself:
