It really happened in Lufkin, Texas
A woman get’s a visit from the Secret Service after telling an Obama volunteer that she won’t vote for Obama because she thinks he is a socialist who voted to let little babies die in hospitals? Is this true? Yes, this is a true story.
However, I wouldn’t be quick to blame the Obama campaign. This could just have easily happened to an Obama supporter getting a call from the McCain campaign. It’s clear that the campaign supporter calling this woman screwed up royally. There is always a bad egg here and there no matter what side of the fence you’re on. Don’t blame Obama on this one.
Do you know who you really need to blame? Blame Bush for allowing the Patriot Act to be passed and allowing for this sort of activity to happen in the first place! If you say anything to a campaign supporter over the phone that resembles a death threat, anything at all, no matter what campaign it is, you are subject to investigation. Even blog posts are subject to investigation. Your right to freedom of speech has been tampered with thanks to the Patriot Act and Obama doesn’t have a damn thing to do with it!
The problem is that 89% of the Senators voted in favor the Patriot Act: Biden, Obama, Clinton, McCain, Cornyn, Dodd, Hutchison, Kerry, and more. They all voted ‘Yea’ on the bill. There were only 10 ‘Nays’ and one ‘Not voting’. What they didn’t expect was that parts of the Patriot Act would be abused. What you’re seeing in the story below is the result of this very thing and there’s plenty of blame to go around for it.
