LOL.. Despite KSigKid and DS's very insightful (and spot on) answers, I'll offer a few different reasons:
- Because it wasn't a semi-automatic rifle over the shoulder. You've got to admit, that's a bit more in-your-face, a bit more provocative, than a sidearm in a holster.
- Because (perhaps) the speech DI's friend went to wasn't a speech that drew a lot of coverage/attention to begin with.
- Because (perhaps) the speech DI's friend went to wasn't given in the context of the town-hall meetings of the last few weeks and the near-crazy (and really angry) rhetoric that has surrounded the health care debate in recent weeks.
Kevin, I think your obvious desire to see harm come to anyone who supports health care reform is causing you to see vast MSM conspiracies behind every target. [/jest]
