Is this a test the NRA has put in place? Is it simply another ratcheting up of the tension and anger around health care? Is it simply a hyper-macho protester showing off his phallic symbol?
Gun Toting Townhaller on Obama Route Calls For Blood
by Rob Kall
A gun toting and displaying man waiting on the route President Obama will be taking to a town hall is carrying a sign calling for blood.
The sign states:
“Time to Water the tree of Liberty.”
That’s what the sign says– a fragment of a quote from Thomas Jefferson. The total quote reads,
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”
This was written in a letter from Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, November 13, 1787
The sign is clearly a reference to spilling blood. Tie that together with a gunman openly displaying his gun on the path President Obama will be taking to his town hall and you have to wonder about the local lawmen who are allowing this display.

Gun rights do not extend to brandishing guns in the presence of the president. Any fool who choses to do so should lose his gun ownership privileges.
