Secret Service Halts Obama security in Dallas
Advertisements [?]Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 05:45 PM by whereismyparty
I find this terrifying...
Evidently, the Secret Service in Dallas gave an order to stop screening for weapons, an hour before Obama took the stage. This was supposedly in order to "expedite" moving the crowd.
Stop screening for weapons? In Dallas?
Several of the police officers present were very concerned, but did not feel that they could comment because the order came from a Federal agency.
The Dallas Deputy Police Chief said, " It seemed a friendly crowd.."
From another source:
"Apparently the Secret Service was overwhelmed by the size of the crowds. They had set up screenings, but by the time our group made it to the door they were already packing their equipment. I suspect the campaign encouraged them to withdraw to allow the huge volume of humanity into the hall before the speeches started. According to news reports several thousand people who arrived late were turned away as the arena was filled to capacity."

The Secret Service did not return calls from Dallas newspapers.
Sorry this is so brief...I have not yet been able to find more, but will update if I do.
Now...is my concern misplaced? Or is this as worrisome as I think it is...?

Whoa, now! Isn't this the same bunch who caterwauls constantly about the "police state", unreasonable searches, and generally hate authority and the police? They don't even like showing their receipts on the way out of Circuit City.

16. All it takes is one unfriendly scumbag from Freeper Nation
I'm scared for the safety of both Democratic candidates.
If Obama were to be hit, the first place I'd look would be in the Hillary camp. Just look at the hatred in your own website. You don't even see that kind of bile against a Dem candidate coming from the right.
Also, aren't these the same people who blather non-stop about Bush being "cowardly" for having so much SS security? :clueless:

But this is different...this is the Black Messiah...nothing but Uber security for "The Savior".

Well, you never know. There could be some raging idiot trying to recreate a hotel in Los Angeles, or a motel balcony in Memphis or a sidewalk in Washington...
President Ronald Reagan has been shot and wounded after a lone gunman opened fire in Washington.
He is currently undergoing emergency surgery at George Washington University Hospital but there are unconfirmed reports he walked in unaided.
Initial reports claim he may have a punctured lung.
Five to six shots were fired as he left the Washington Hilton Hotel where he had been addressing a union convention, about one mile from the White House.
A man, firing at close range, also wounded White House Press Secretary James Brady in the head.

You give it more credit than I do. I suspect a smelly moonbat living in momma's basement up north that has never been out of the state.

The DUmmies have a legit gripe about this incident but, I find the hypocrisy funny as hell. All the security measures they blast Bush for they get bent out of shape when they aren't given to Obama.

Hmmmm, the first link in the DUmmie's post leads to a dead-end...no article.
The second leads to a blank page at dailykos.
Does bareback.insane.obama even qualify for Secret Service? ....or is this just his own security?

Yo DUmmies. IF there is someone out there who has it in mind to do harm to Obama/Osama there is nothing law enforcement can do about it, nothing. A well planned attack carried out by a patient individual will be sucessful.
What happened in Dallas is nothing so don't get your thongs in a knot.....morons. :mental:

Problem is that no matter who would pull off a stunt like that...it would still get blamed on us.
I wonder how many people these days realize James Earl Ray was a Democrat?

I bet if Hussein wins the nomination and names Hitlery as his running mate, he'll make damn sure he has security up the wazu. I know I would.

Unlikely he would choose Hillary as his co-conspirator.

He's been under Secret Service protection since May 2007.

When I heard how early he was getting SS, I figured it was to protect him from Hillary. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong here but consider the people in recent history who actually tried to assasinate the President:
Hinckley
Moore
Fromme
Oswald
Someone want to tell me why these people would be considered "Freepers"?

Thousands of people wanted to see Obama by *'s Secret Service thugs held them up for hours under some bogus pretense of searching for guns. This is just another example on how *'s war on Terra is being used to impose his fascist police state. For Gaia's sake this is an Obama rally, we're the peaceful ones, we aren't scared like Freepers who need to carry guns for fear of their own shadows and small penises.

Weird, huh?
