Let me take slight issue with LeftWingCracker’s note that Randy Wade made them all check in with the Sheriff’s Deputies on hand.

Allowing all proper respect towards Randy Wade, the fact of the matter is that Mr. Wade is in no position (that I am aware) to make CCP holders do anything in regards to checking in with anyone. I think I remember Mr. Wade telling me a few weeks ago that he is an ex-deputy along with being an ex-Vietnam veteran. So I’m pretty sure he is now just a hired helper to Congressman Cohen who does not have that authority.

This may be why some carrying CCP holders that I saw ignored his request.

After seeing many of the videos of union thugs actually assaulting people, one would have to be a complete idiot to even ask why so many people brought their guns to a town hall meeting in one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

In the comments of one of his liberal buddies one fool actually asked who it was that would physically assault Congressman Blackburn at her event earlier this week.

I wish I could make it.

Who’s going to throw the pie in my stead?
If you can get her the way we got Bil Kristol it’ll be a hoot.

Duh Cracker never made mention to this asshole that maliciously hitting someone with anything like that is a crime. If one person is willing to do that, what might the next liberal loon be willing to do?

This act of stupidity was a player in turning a small ‘FaceBook-get-together’ intended for maximum of 30 Blackburn supporters into a 230 person surge of support. It was large enough that she had to move it to the parking lot. Rany Wade’s counterpart in Blackburn’s Bartlett office, Mr. Scott Golden, was grinning ear to ear. Who could blame him.

Blackburn also had the free benefit of the fact that one of the Mid South Tea Party folks had a PA system in his vehicle to accommodate the parking lot situation. I guess he knew carrying that thing around with him 24/7 would pay off sooner or later. Go Dave!

I personally found myself in a rather awkward situation defending my Congresswoman’s right to be there. To say the least, I am absolutely NOT a fan of hers. I do think she has the right, just like Cohen, to assemble without fear of being assaulted. People who come to speak their mind in opposition is fine. Some folks did just that. I actually agreed with some of the thoughts they conveyed.

With all of that being said, let’s get back to Saturday morning.

I would like to add these thoughts:

Hats go off to Cohen for having the brains to know not to close the doors.
Hats go off to Cohen for having the brains not to stage a fake Town Hall meeting.
Hats go off to Cohen for having the brains not to have union thugs show up in union shirts. That was what we were looking to find. They would have been vastly outnumbered and most probably outgunned.

Unfortunately, I would guess that it is just a matter of time before one of the union thugs get themselves shot.
