"Imagine he was Muslim and waiting for Bush with a gun. How long would that guy have lasted? You think they'd let him just sit there and wait for Bush?"
—Cenk Uygur on the gunman protesting near the president's town hall event today
Muslim... Or black. Imagine a black man brandishing a gun in plain view anywhere within a mile of George Bush during his visit to New Orleans after Katrina.
The gunman's sign quoted Jefferson: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Cenk points out that Timothy McVeigh wore a t-shirt with this quote just before his terrorist attack at Oklahoma City.
