um…..this makes no sense, anastasia. if he is such an obama supporter, then why wouldn’t he give his name? why did he flee without identifying himself?

not buying this.

You know. I remember seeing your comments from Kos that were emailed to me. The wingnut thing is not fair in light of that and I should strike it. I will.

Thanks for the info Anastasia. I find it curious behavior from a huge Obama supporter. Curious indeed.

John Quinn made a terrible choice to interrupt the townhall meeting especially from the press area. But he is not a dangerous wingnut. I have known him for decades, and his brother is a good friend of mine. When I queried his brother about the incident, he said,

“I asked him “what were you thinking” he said “I’m not sure what came over me, I am a huge Obama supporter, but I thought it important to start the town meeting off with the Pledge. I feel I did it for Dad (a WWII Vet) and cousin David (who was killed in Vietnam).”

Also, the last crazy I recall being nabbed for making threats against Obama was also threatening to kill Hillary. Crazy wingnuts often have multiple grudges.

He also threatened to kill Bush as well. Clearly mental.
