Oklahoma City made national news this week when a man was pulled over for having an anti-Obama sign displayed on his truck. The sign was confiscated and the Secret Service were called in to investigate a possible "threat" to Obama's life. The sign read "Abort Obama, Not The Unborn." The technicality being debated is the definition of the word "abort." The officers claim that the word abort means to kill. Thus...they're worried about the man wanting to kill Obama. To quote columnist Jill Stanek: "This just goes to show everyone innately knows what the word 'abortion' really means." You know it.

I understand that the police and Secret Service must do their job and investigate possible threats. Inciting violence is a crime, but that wasn't this man's point. The word abort was used because it is the word used for unborn babies and his point was Obama should be impeached.
