Obama Campaign Has To Increase Security

10:49 am EST October 17th, 2008 | News | 9 Comments

But John McCain is “proud” of his supporters.

After threats at several field offices around the state, Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is asking labor unions to help provide volunteer security at 27 offices between now and Election Day.

The Obama campaign has 81 offices across the state. Of the 17 in Philadelphia, they want security at six, according to an e-mail sent to union leaders.

The e-mail said there have been threats at three Philly offices. That’s on top of an evacuation this week at the South Philly office after they received a threatening letter that contained a suspicious substance, which initial tests determined was sugar.

    And now wait for the usual crowd of commentators to start mocking Obama for being a weenie…a Real Man wouldn’t up his security! And against what? He’s just being paranoid! By the way, do you know Obama was raised by Muslim terrorists and anti-white preachers? You know his ears are so big because they’re prosthetics that need to fit over his horns. He must be stopped! But you didn’t hear that from me.

    “Obama’s campaign is asking labor unions to help provide volunteer security at 27 offices between now and Election Day.”

    Why not the FBI or local police? Because the claim is bogus.

    a Real Man wouldn’t up his security!

    Perhaps, but a real man would use Teamsters.

    Why not the FBI or local police? Because the claim is bogus.

    And you know that how? Go sit down.

    Translation: I don’t want to believe it therefore it isn’t true.

    You mean bogus like the brick that flew threw the Denver Dems’ front door, willie?

    [...] McCain/Palin supporters, who’ve been worked into a hateful frenzy by their candidates in recent weeks, are becoming violent (story below). Also, note that the McCain/Palin campaign has started using the Secret Service to keep the press from fully covering their events, and the Obama campaign has had to tighten security. [...]

    No, he means bogus like the bullet that killed Bill Gwatney.

    Wait. My mistake. There was no threat beforehand.
