2008-05-16 Huckabee quips about gun aimed at Obama

2008-05-16 Associated Press Brett Barrouquere \Barack Obama/assassination\Mike Huckabee http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2004419652_aphuckabeeobama.html Huckabee quips about gun aimed at Obama &ldquo;Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he – he dove for the floor." .. There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.&rdquo; Somewhat bizarrely worded... a veiled threat? Obama wasn't even present at the event.

2010-09-25 Update: this comment now seems mild compared to much of the violent anti-Obama, anti-liberal rhetoric which has become common since the election.
