Thuggery. Coming to a Thought Near You

I like this lady’s spunk. I think I’ve read this story somewhere else, but I just wanted to link Life News.

Lufkin, TX (LifeNews.com) — A pro-life woman who received an unsolicited phone call from the Barack Obama campaign complained about his pro-abortion position. The call earned her a visit from the Secret Service, who were apparently given erroneous information from the campaign volunteer that she made a death threat.

Jessica Hughes of Texas says she received a phone call last Wednesday from a woman with the Obama Volunteers of Texarkana.

She told the Lufkin Daily News: “She asked if I was an Obama supporter, to which I replied, ‘No, I don’t support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.’ (And then) I hung up.”

Hughes was referring to bills in the Illinois legislature that Obama opposed that would have required medical personnel to provide appropriate medical care for babies who survive failed abortions. A Chicago nurse had exposed how some of the babies were left to die.

Her comment about abortion was apparently changed by the Obama volunteer and reported to the Secret Service, who are protecting both presidential candidates.

Two federal agents showed up at Hughes’ home on Thursday and asked her if she has said, “I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor.”

Because a campaign worker said so? Whoa, I’m not looking forward to what might happen if The One would get elected.

Hughes went further than her comments to the newspaper in an email about the incident and indicated the Secret Service threatened her.

She indicated the agents asked her why the Obama campaign volunteer would make up the quote about her wanting Obama to die.

“I replied that I supposed she wasn’t happy about what I said about her candidate and the Agent said ‘That’s right, you were rude.’ The last time I checked being rude wasn’t a crime in America,” she said.

Well, poor Ms. Hughes might have to recheck if The One is elected.

She said the agents admitted there was no tape of the call and threatened that she could wind up in court or they would talk to neighbors and associates if she didn’t cooperate.

“I recognized this as a veiled threat. I told them I would happily go to court since I did nothing wrong and at least then my accuser would have to face me rather than sending the thought police to my house,” Hughes said.

Hughes said she asked the agents for their badge numbers and they refused to supply them to her.

    Wow. That is insane. I find it hard to believe that there is even protocol for the Secret Service to investigate a “threat” when there is no evidence and only one “witness”. Insane. Is it possible they were fakes?

    Hi Tieki — I have an email into the Secret Service right now requesting confirmation of whether this happened or not. I’ll let you know when I hear something. :)

    I hope this isn’t true, but would not be at all surprised if it were. We’ve seen terrifying examples of how “thought crime” will be viewed under the weight of Obammunism.

    Me too Sam. I still haven’t heard back from the Secret Service. I won’t hold my breath either.

    What fascist thuggery. So sick.

    Even if she did threaten the campaign worker, so what? I mean, it’s not like she’s going to find the caller based on his voice.

    As she did not threaten anyone, this is beyond sick. No more free speech for you, folks!

    Thanks, Tammi. I’ll add this to the list of Obama’s campaign’s actions against our most basic freedoms.

    The guy doesn’t even have the office nailed down yet, but he’s already got the SS banging on citizenry doors for him. How will it go after the official title is his to parade?
