Default Secret Service Visits Floridian


Florida sure spawns a lot of interesting folks...

A Brooksville, Florida radio talk show host had his wig tightened by
the U.S. Secret Service after an agent paid him a visit over an
alleged threat against the President of the United States.

Right wing pundit Bob Haa, whose station -- WWJB AM 1450 -- also airs
Neoconservative talkers like Sean Hannity and Michael Savage, says he
made no threat against President Barack Obama when a listener called
up to talk about his ammunition collection and antipathy toward the
current administration.

"A caller calls in, and man this guy is torqued," explained listener
Craig Bolton, who spoke with The St. Petersburg Times. "He says, 'Man,
I'm ticked and frustrated at Obama, I'm loading up on ammunition, I'm
going to be practicing.' And Haa says, 'Don't be wasting it on
targets. Save it for the administration.'"

The Times had to get a paraphrase from a listener because,
surprisingly, audio of the show is unavailable.

"Why would I say something like that?" Haa asked a Hernando Today
reporter. "That's stupid."

He further told the reporter that his shows are not regularly taped,
though since "[there's] a real nationwide effort to go after
conservatives," future broadcasts will be recorded.

The St. Petersburg Times concluded:

Off the air, outside during smoke breaks, he said that the man from
the Secret Service was "not pushy or threatening," but that the whole
investigation was "nonsense," "childish" and "moronic."

He snuffed out another cigarette and went back inside. He walked back
down the hallway toward the studio. He stopped at the door and turned.

"What if I actually had said that?" he asked. "So what? This is
America!"
Haa's show, the "Bob Haywire Hootenanny," airs mornings in Florida's
Hernando County.
