Man reacts negatively to Michelle Obama speech; SWAT team called
The man stood outside his RV, yelling and shooting a gun into the air. When Pasco sheriff's deputies confronted him, he ran inside and wouldn't come out, according to Tampabay.com.
That started a six-hour standoff late Monday night between the man, whose name was not released, and authorities, Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Doll said.
SWAT team units arrived later and surrounded the RV, Doll said. As the situation entered the early hours of this morning, SWAT team members fired riot gas into the man's home. He still wouldn't come out, Doll said.
Finally, about 5 a.m., he exited his RV and was taken into custody. The cause of his displeasure, according to Doll, was Michelle Obama's speech last night at the Democratic National Convention.
Doll said the man will undergo a psychological evaluation.


No problem buddy.. she has that same affect on a lot of people ...

McCain sure has some quality people supporting him. Like the two guys who were plotting to assassinate Obama. I guess being the product of incest will do that to you.

Something is definitely wrong with many people that live in this country. Really wrong. I guess we will see the true ugliness of some, if this half black half white man actually gets elected. So glad Ive had the opportunity to see how many of the other countries treat people.

So these are the type of people who support McCain?
Drunken, inbred rednecks and meth-addicted white supremacists planning to assassinate Obama?
Nice. Just a few more reasons not to vote for McCain.

She seems to have that effect on most people....
I wondered why all the pundits on obama TV were swooning over her speech. It was clearly enough to put someone over the edge....

Nothing get a backwards, republican redneck more stirred up than seeing an educated black woman speak on national television.

@TOM THE SHITDOG: Are you aware that Joe Lieberman is Jewish? I thought you rednecks hated them too?

There are a lot of vicious rednecks in this country. They should probably turn over to TVLand reruns and drink another 6-pack. And we let these guys own guns?

I hope McCain picks Lieberman, US Senator and apparently member emeritus of the Knesset, because then the rednecks will finally have to choose between a black man and a jew. Too rich.
TOM THE WARDOG - are you a Wonkette plant?

Thankfully there were no black people around for him to accidentally shoot! Lock this loser up!!
