Obama's SS agents remove forks from attendees at Latino event

From the article in the OP.

“The Secret Service coordinates this process with staff and host committee to ensure tables are cleared of material that may be deemed hazardous prior to the arrival of the president,” Special Agent Max Milien told POLITICO. "Any implication that this was unique for this event is completely inaccurate."

Clearly this is a common practice and not limited to Hispanic crowds. Please note that no one ever, ever alleged that the silverware is collected at every single event.

 

Utensil profiling. How disgusting.

 

Once again, the article in the OP clearly states this is not unique to this event.

 

There you go.

Its ok to be able to eat while the president speaks, as long as you are not a hispanic...then you must hand over your forks.

 

With that, I duly concede the thread.

Your assertion was clearly wrong, demonstrated to be wrong, with the article you yourself provided. I am correct in this matter, and I realize that fact and reality are not important to the argument you are putting forth.

The thread is yours.

 

Since I don't think any of us have ever heard of this security policy before, I'm not sure how you can be so certain the practice isn't based on racial profiling. After all, the first time this practice hits the national news is at a hispanic event. Looks pretty self-incriminating to me, but then again, I'm more objective than most Obama-supporters.

 

Just spitballing here but next time maybe burritos, eh?

 

Wow. It seems people have a real problem reading here.

 

So somehow, something suddenly becoming newsworthy means something is afoot... even if it's past use is documented. Reminds me of the folks who thought Czars were some foreign concept conjured up by a muslim Obama in an attempt to instill some dictatorship...calling them unconstitutional... while completely unaware that our Previous President not only used Czars, but had more. GOPeanuts never disappoint.

 

Can libs say President Paranoid?

Power hungry people like Obama are always looking over their shoulder to see who is plotting against them.

I don't think it is common practice to remove all the silverware from the tables whenever previous presidents walked into the room.

Although Obama and his Secret Service may distrust everyone and not simply Hispancis.

But Hispanics do have a reputation for not obeying the law so to Obama they may be a bigger security risk than other groups.

 

lol @ "I don't think". Add "I don't read, either" to that.

 

I wonder if knives and forks are taken away at Republican fund raising dinners?

 

When you cater to thugs and criminals you can't be too careful.

 

I don't make it a habit of blindly accepting everything I read on the internet.

What you are quoting is what one person wants you to believe and may or may not be accurate.

 

Yet, you start threads here with internet links as your sources. Perhaps, you don't "blindly accept" information that doesn't agree with your hunches.

Oh, screw the perhaps.

 

Let's deal with facts rather than opinions.

The fact is that Hispanics were told to turn over their forks to the Secret Service before Obama made his appearance.

Now we also have the spin of one person's opinion that this is SOP for every president preceding Obama.

But the fact is that I've never heard of such a thing before this incident.

So its my personal opinion that it was not SOP before President Paranoid came along.

 

Lets...

Just like anyone else, removing the "racial" ploy you and others are attempting to play.

"Spin" being your chosen position based on...... what. A hunch that he's lying? You need more than this, and I shouldn't have to explain that.

Familiarize us with your knowledge of secret service security policy, measure by measure please... as displaying a detailed outline would definitely offer some proof as to this policy's "newness".

Congratulations... your opinion means zero.

 

Or, you post proof that it is a long-standing policy of the SS that predates Obama.

No one - including you - has ever heard of forks being removed before.

So to me that implies a special fear of Hispanics by President Paranoia.

 

What happens on Andrews Air Force Base when Air Force One takes off & lands? Having been TDY on that base, I can tell you... but you seem to already know what the SS does and doesn't do. At least, that's my hope... as having no prior knowledge of it must mean it's only for President Obama. Fill us in...

 

I don't know.

Do they confiscate the forks of every Hispanic in the area?

This really is about a specific incident not the acknowledged fact that even President Paranoid needs some level of protection.

 

.....you don't know?

..........What do you mean you don't know? So, let me get this straight. If news were to hit tomorrow, that traffic is shut down completely at Andrews AFB when Air Force One lands, you'd say this were an example of "President Paranoia" being wary around his own troops... and that you never hearing of this before must support that theory, yes? Why are you even still reading vs. clicking the "log out" button?

 

Thanks for pointing out old news that has nothing to do with this subject.

To remain on topic your question about Andrews Air Force Base would have to involve forks just as in the OP.

 

This isn't one of these, somehow suddenly thing....

again from the article.....

 

Oh, it has everything to do with it... because you cite "never hearing of this particular secret service policy" as reasoning/support for your radical theory. Thus, it's perfectly acceptable to put your knowledge of secret service policy to the test, in order to determine the validity of your claims. Not knowing a number of policies only hurts your reasoning.

In fact, I'm positive that the above logic has escaped you completely.

 

Superimposing the flight policy of Air Force One has nothing to do with singling out Hispanics to turn in their forks.

Again, because Hispanics have a problem with obeying our laws does that make Obama more fearful of them than a group of black racists at the Congressional Black Caucus?
