A Telegraph reader’s online criticism of President Barack Obama that invoked New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die” motto had the Nashua man unexpectedly dealing with the Secret Service.

The man, who posted his comments Wednesday under the username NashuaDan, wrote that Obama’s events are often orchestrated and that the president’s upcoming Town Hall meeting in Portsmouth could be more of the same.

“I hope NH is better than letting this guy off the hook. Let Obama know what ‘Live Free or Die’ means (hint: it isn’t reckless TAXING and SPENDING). Otherwise, Portsmouth will just be another glorified photo-op for the Socialist-in-Chief,” he wrote below a news brief announcing the president’s Seacoast visit Tuesday.

On Thursday morning, NashuaDan found himself on the phone with a Secret Service agent, explaining that his remarks were only philosophical and not intended to threaten Obama, he said.


I tried to do a search for the offending post in question, but for some strange reason it seems to have gone down the memory hole along with NashuaDan.  And yeah, the posters on that board are straight out of DU.  No wonder one of them turned his ass in to the SS.

And judging by the publicity regarding the time and location of the event Tuesday (Portsmouth HS--no time listed) it's not going to be anyone who actually dares question Teh Wun:

"A limited number of individuals will be selected and contacted regarding ticket pick-up information. Each individual selected will have the opportunity to pick up a maximum of two tickets," the White House press release said.

They'll think they've done their "patriotic" duty...until someone they themselves have pissed off reports them.

That's how these rat lines work.
