"Kill Him" Never happened

Deconstructing Hollowman

  OBAMA: I mean, look, if we want to talk about Congressman Lewis, who is an American hero, he, unprompted by my campaign, without my campaign's awareness, made a statement that he was troubled with what he was hearing at some of the rallies that your running mate was holding, in which all the Republican reports indicated were shouting, when my name came up, things like "terrorist" and "kill him," and that you're running mate didn't mention, didn't stop, didn't say "Hold on a second, that's kind of out of line." (Third Debate)

Secret Service says "Kill him" allegation unfounded

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Oabama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."

News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.

Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.

It has been apparent for quite some time that whatever "evils" Libs accuse and attribute to Conservatives are actually committed by themselves. Such a tired game are they.

Also, TRKOF, is gifted with pairing his extensive photo collection with each post presented. However....in the case of Hollowman, there is far too much beautiful life persisting against all odds. Better if TRKOF photochopped more dead branches to the tree. As is, life looks very hopeful with the ONE.

That tree is so dead and hollow that my photochopped limbs fall off.
