Portsmouth, NH: Armed Protesters GUN At Obama Town Hall

[JeffreyRodriguez]

A gun? OH NOES!

[themaclady]

Too bad they never videotapes the two SEIU thugs who kicked and spat at him.... and he never TOUCHED his gun.

[themaclady]

WOW shocking! LOLL NOT>.. 

[Sin526]

Is this really real, it seems so ridiculous its almost hard to believe!

[Freenetnow]

Probably just another edited MSNBC video that is lying.

These guys jumped shark ages ago.  That's why they have few viewers.

[Middlemcd]

They said it was city hall when it was over a mile away at the high school! I guess It doesn't matter.

[yelton7]

That is the whole reason for the 2nd Amendment! What is there to be afraid of Obama? Maybe screwing over the citizens of our Country scares you?

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

[yelton7]

ITS PERFECTLY LEGAL YOU ASSHOLES

[cjbb12]

I shook this guys hand for standing up for his first amendment right!

[fortsmith1]

Run Run he's got a gun, OMG. I think everyone should carry guns to Obamas town halls.

[MiClLC]

OMG A CIVILIAN WITH A GUN PANIC!!! Like any member of law enforcement cant take out Obama in the same manner. Fuck msm, what a joke

[sunnyshine33]

i live in portsmouth nh, i saw him entering

[mgtn69376]

Obama recently expanded gun rights more than any Democrat president. This was tacked onto part of a bill that passed in congress that puts restrictions on the fees that credit card companies can charge to card holders. Anyway, you can now take your guns to National Parks. Is that reducing or expanding gun rights?

[ClassicFIHD]

Ah, "you can now take your guns to National Parks" actually that was a Bush Bill that passed and was temporarily held off by a Judge. Obama had basically nothing to do with that bill. FYI, Demorcat Governor John Corzine of NJ just passed one gun a month law, so I ask "is that reducing or expanding gun rights"?

[dog8788]

the democrats can't wait to take away your rights. they are chipping away at the rights that make this the united states of america. this state run news channel openly lies to, and advocates oppressing the american public. we need to rise up and stomp out this abomination. and for the record, guns don't kill people, it is an inanimate piece of machinery with no feelings. the fact is you could be bashed over the head with a rock and be just as dead. who do you sue then??

[dog8788]

liberal democrats forget that it was black panthers, obamas personal guard, that first stood outside townhall meetings to intimidate conservatives that might speak against obamas health care plan. the nra showed up later to provide support.

[cmk1967]

You're comparing rocks and guns like they are equally capable of killing? Hmmmmm let's see.

A disgruntled worker shows up at your workplace, or the workplace of a loved one, would you rather have him/her armed with rocks or an assualt rifle? Using your logic it shouldn't matter becasue there is no difference, but I'm sure any sane person would pick rocks because there actually is a difference.

[dog8788]

yes, they are equally capable of killing. so are clubs and pointy sticks. all used for hundreds of thousands years BEFORE guns were invented. the point i tried to make is; neither a gun or a rock has the intent to kill. it takes a human to do it. any SANE person would have gotten that

[richyrich2312033]

Hey..... why is this guy wearing a LE ear piece? Is this some kind of scam or stunt to take the heat off Obama? WTF

[TorontoCanuck1978]

Funny thing. Although i am not a fan of john stewart he did point out an important truth last night. In 2004 two people were arrested at a Bush town hall meeting for wearing homemade shirts that had Bushs name crossed out. There was no foul language or threatening comments on it....yet they were arrested. This guy with a loaded weapon was not. On the topic of being unconstitutional i think you all should look to your last presidents treatment of your rights before beaking off about your new one.

[warjunkie44]

Liberals should feel lucky Conservatives don't protest with guns all the time. LoL

From my cold dead hands!

[Iamnr]

Its common sense.. It may be legal BUt if the president is on his way and a man is carrying a gun on the street he has to be removed becuase he is clearly a security threat.

[SonOfGillean]

How is he clearly a security threat? He is not doing anything. It might offend your sense of what is appropriate, but appropriateness is not the issue here. He IS NOT A THREAT AND NEITHER IS THE GUN. It won't jump out and shoot someone.

[Iamnr]

"How is he clearly a security threat? He is not doing anything."

and what if he decides to pull his gun and shoot as the president drives by, you forget regan

its common sense

Timothy mcvay wouldnt have looked much different from this guy,

and anyway, federal law is used where ever the president is on US soil, and federal law supersedes state law, so the man should have been removed

if it was achmed with a beard and turban at a bush rally you would not be defending him

[sparks444]

Any of the people could have a gun hidden on them, I severly doubt an assasin would bring hes gun out in the open. If bad guys really want to bring a gun, they are gonna do it irregardless of the law.

[deltaalpha21074]

So what I would care if he had an RPG loaded...Worse case senario is Bucket of KFC Chicken and 50 lbs Water melon AHHHHH!

[wethepeoplestand]

This is a right, like free speech, it isn't negotiable. Good for him.

[SonOfGillean]

Bravo! Good point. He is also exercising his right to assembly as well as free speech and the right to bear arms. I guess some people can't handle that.

[russetsshadow]

LOL welcome to New Hampshire folks...Open carry isn't a big deal, no one here has a problem with it. I love this state!. "Live Free or Die" The best state in the Union.

[Drudelo]

I wish I lived in New Hampshire.

[Drudelo]

I think it's funny how these reporters don't even know the law. And are so shocked that someone is walking around with a gun. The stupid woman even suggested breaking the law to "remove" the man even though he has done absolutly nothing wrong. She is completly nuts!

[shemp2]

I think it's funny that you don't get how showing up at a political protest with a gun strapped to one's leg is viewed as inappropriate. The fact that it's actually legal is precisely why the rest of the world views the US as a giant lunatic asylum.

[SonOfGillean]

And what you probably don't realize is that there are probably a lot more people there carrying guns concealed. And then you wouldn't know or have anything to bitch about- like this guy's exercising his CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!

[shemp2]

HOOOO-AH!

[Drudelo]

SonOfGillean, at least some people have some sense.

[coronet67]

I almost feel like this guy was a plant.

Either way, there are people who are just waiting for this guy. They can use him to affect "change". The change being you not allowed to have a gun.

[kosmickookie]

Of course hes allowed to stay there you asshole msnbc reporter. Lawyers? You cry for lawyers? Its called America you scumbag state run media whores. Learn it or leave it.

[nzdee2]

I was there yesterday. That guy was trying (and succeeded) to intimidate people. This is their MO. He and his right wing friends (his sign is indicative of his stance) are now laughing at the lefties and what wimps they are. Those opposed to health care had lots more and much louder megaphones and spouted such hate speech and irrelevant information. It just left us on the "other side" gobsmacked. To respond to them would be like trying to reason with a drunk, tripping or insane person.

[Back2BackJack]

Are the men who've attempted and carried out assassinations of past presidents wearing the gun out in the open? It's funny how people who legally own firearms are villified, but when a criminal uses an illegal weapon in a robbery, they get out of jail on parole in a year.

[fjcaron]

@Back2BackJack Excellent reply.

[graveyardmonkey]

notice the earpiece?

[C4C4C4C44C]

I was trying to get people to notice that.

Their may be many explanations.

1. could have gotten an interview before this footage and then they got shots of him holding his sign still with the ear piece.

3. is a government provocateur - secret service. with an agenda of fear mongering the public to further erode support for the constitution.

who knows.

but what kind of instructions was he receiving in his ear piece?

[crazylilpoet]

Why does it shock msnbc when law abiding citizens have their second amendment rights upheld by the law? Of course they want to criminalize every single person who owns a gun.

This is the liberals agenda and it's very bases.

[txtallintexas]

Fox News lost my respect with headlines of "Obama's baby mama" and "Terrorist Fist bump" not to mention when a Republican get caught doing something stupid Fox label them as a democrat on the screen.

[wpokets]

another pile of shit that I couldn't sit through. msnbc why are you still on the air.

OH thats right, there is a need for your sheep to get their feed at the trouth

[Lamarmusizz]

And fox news is better, despite the many Mistruths they were actually cited for..

But its ok for them to do it. But when it comes to Msnbc the truth hurts right?

[freestatereport]

fox news is corporate media in the same exact camp as cnn, msnbc, acb, etc. They're corrupt and should not be trusted for any sort of objective news reporting. Search for your news using online resources that can be verified and presents all they're sources.

[C4C4C4C44C]

quit the left/right thing.

it's not working.

bush is bad

and so is obama and so is clinton and so is palin and so is mccain and so is fox and so is cnn. on and on and on.

it's all crap.

[jd603]

This is scare mongering by the media, this guy legally can carry a gun, it's not that shocking, it's called freedom. Now, it is a bit unusual to carry one at a public event where the president is, however, it's also possible this guy was paid to do this so that the media could point at it and spin it.

[Malakayah]

This guy has the right to carry his gun. He is starting a new wave of bring your guns to hall. I URGE ALL DEMOCRATS TO ARM THEIRSELVES AND PREPARE FOR ANYTHING, THIS IS JUST A MOVE OF INTIMIDATION BY THE RIGHTWINGER NUTTS. WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED OR MUSCLE SO PLEASE I AGAIN URGE ALL MY FELLOW DEMOCRATS TO LOCK AND LOAD.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS ALL THE SOLDIERS WHO HAVE DEFEND THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY.

[freestatereport]

The guy is not a right winger. He's moved to new hampshire as part of the free state project. Please don't buy into the collectivist, tribal mindset that the "other side," is out to get you. The only entity to concern yourself with is the government. Not your friends and neighbors.

[new01]

very well put, iv'e been telling people similar on other uploads on of this video. :)

[HappyIndependenceDay]

looks like a glot

[LiveLeakNews]

why do people make comments and remove them?

[nonieja]

Stop removing the comments.

[nonieja]

Republic, Democracy. It is relative in aspect to theory and practice. In practice, Democracy replaced Constitutional Republic and the task of restoring it to its rightfull place is now presented to us. What is it going to be? Internet is great, but is it enough?"

[nominalvelocity]

No. Just no. Republic, in the context of the founding fathers almost always meant a representative democracy.

The only reason we don't have a direct democracy is because it's too cumbersome for a state of any significant size, and individual voters are too random.

What we've got now is a proper Plutocracy. Damn it.

[lifeformalien]

Nice ear piece. That would be standard issue for which kind of occupation? He appears to be "in the loop" as msnbc might put it.

[TxTankGunner]

He's probably waiting for the SEIU to try and start some crap again.., oh wait, they're all inside stacking the town hall meeting and keeping people that think for themselves out.

[LeakLiveMedia]

got to be strapped now days

[MilitarySuicides]

SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT A AK-47

[NewsStops]

run for your lives!

[johncrwarner]

If he was challenged he would scream - second amendment rights at the officials and then be a victim so they have taken the decision to let him be so he looks like a like a threatening right-winger which I suspect he is.
