But is it coincidence that the Secret Service gets into a major scandal right around the time that Assassins start talking freely about killing Obama?

5. Yes, it's a coincidence.... or less.

The things have so little to do with each other that using the word "coincidence" seem like a misnomer. Is it a coincidence that I had granola for breakfast on the same day that some talking heads I've never heard of were in a video posted on DU?

7. Wouldn't it be fun to be at the Secret Service interview to hear Ted Nugent explain his comments.

Here is Ted's chance to get dead or in jail. If he does not get killed or sent to jail you will know what a Chickenhawk turd he really is, a loud mouth coward. "No you have me wrong" I would never hurt anyone. On the other hand he could end up arrested with any answer that hints of the veracity of his response at agents discretion. Pulling a weapon would end up being marble slab time.

The secret service agents (or at least it used to) have an amazing training and screening process. The scandal in regards to the prostitution thing is mind blowing to me. Since, the JFK disaster, the secret service standards of conduct and training surpass virtually every other feild of government training. They are famous for keeping their cool and not getting emotional controlled or overwhelmed. If psycho Ted pulled a weapon to martyr himself, they would take the hit and subdue him. The assailent's life is just as important to the secret service as is the person they are assigned to protect. Just wanted to throw this out there, no offense to anyone.

Edited for really bad spelling errors and typos.

I find the barely reported and forgotten scandal of old of Contractors in Iraq running around naked and doing shots out of each other's butts worse than the SS scandal.
