And apparently never got near Obama.

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter.

“I said, ‘I’ll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,’” said Lee. “He became annoyed that I wouldn’t give him the letter.”

“Newsy,” you are SUCH a dipshit. If you were in a supposedly secure environment like a Congressional hearing room on Capitol Hill and some nutjob rushed you, hands coated with god knows what, shouting and shoving those hands in your face, inches away, you’d react with the absolute unfazed aplomb of Rice? I’d have either ducked and dodged, or belted her in the face. (I’d like to think the latter, suspect the former.)

Sean: The subject being your view that “Letting it slide in the past pretty much guarantees that others will pull it in the future.” is only for “whacko protesters assaulting public officials” and should not be applied to public officials assaulting the Constitution.

LOL!-) Everybody’s a comedian today.

It’s funny, when I think “Jay Tea” I think ‘makes Code Pink seem rational’.

The Code Pink nut literally had her hands around the head of the Secretary of State, with an unknown substance covering those hands.

Funny how Oliver didn’t say anything about this, but a whackjob camping out near where Obama is scheduled to visit rates a post…

No. That someone could get close enough to the Sec State to assault them who should probably not be allowed within that range is worrisome.

As is having a Sec State who would rather have all citizen protests confined to out-of-site “free speech” zones.

The subject being your view that “Letting it slide in the past pretty much guarantees that others will pull it in the future.” is only for “whacko protesters assaulting public officials” and should not be applied to public officials assaulting the Constitution.

Got it.

Hard to see where her left hand is. But I’ll defer to your x-ray vision.

Meh.

Only bed wetting cowards that use fear for political purposes.

I don’t even know who won.

Duros, you can take my non-reply to your attempt to change the subject however you wish.

Glad to see your such a staunch supporter of the rule of law. Too bad you weren’t around during Watergate. Nixon would have finished his second term.

Sean, that is PRECISELY the incident I had in mind — thanks for finding the video. And if you look at around the seven-second mark, the whackjob has her right hand in front of Rice’s face, and her left hand behind Rice’s head — that pretty much fits my description.

And THEN the Secret Service (I presume) moves in.

Think about that for a second — in a Congressional hearing room, a woman with a record for disrupting events and an unknown substance gets within literally inches of the Secretary of State before security acts to restrain and remove her. That should freak the shit out of ANYONE.

Duros, you can take my non-reply to your attempt to change the subject however you wish.

And I certainly don’t care what ‘argument’ Prejean could put up against marriage rights, because there aren’t any arguments in favor of her position.

Secondly, Carrie Prejean LOST Miss America, so who cares what she thinks?

Did I miss something that made either of them relevant?

Pretty sure it was like that before she got to the dentist.

Sean, the subject here is whacko protesters assaulting public officials…

So, no, then?

That would be the Perez Hilton who asked a loaded question of woman he knew to have had a Christian upbringing who was representing a state which had recently taken extraordinary steps to vote against gay marriage and then lambasted her when she gave an answer that respectfully acknowledged that others have different views but she did not support gay marriage?

That would be the Perez Hilton who forces his lifestyle on people by publicly exposing their private lives in a supposed effort to get people to stop forcing their lifestyles on him?

Yeah, he’s not a nut at all.

Used to be, that was what was known as a witch.

Jay, who are some of the nuts on the pro-gay marriage side?

Fixed my typo. (There’s always that errant “not” that doesn’t get removed when editing re-working the sentence for clarity.)
