Congressman Paul Broun dodges direct question as to the identity of the person who asked "Who's gonna shoot President Obama?"

Tonight I was first in line to ask 10th district Congressman Paul Broun on a telephone town hall call I received on my seldom used home telephone line. I asked Dr. Broun directly as to the identity of the elderly gentlemen who traveled from either Cobb County or Eatonton to ask in Lexington "Who's going to shoot President Obama?"

After essentially repeating his statement released three days after the initial question was asked, instead of answering my question, (although he did allow that he was a former patient of the doctor who can only make house calls), he went on an assault on the reporting of the Athens Banner-Herald's political reporter Blake Aued and then went on to another question asker in the telephone town hall.

This was an economic town hall question. I was making dinner so I did not have the chance to stay on the line.

Sounds like it is going to take a Freedom of Information Act request to reveal the name of this elderly questioner.

Don't look to ABH to file a FOIA for the name of the questioner. That would be naive given their source of ad revenue.

It may seem this inquiry is trite, but not if the man was a plant. First question indicates that Broun knew he was there & his question. Broun stages such outrageous ruses to gain national attention from conservative media via blogs, radio talk shows & Fox news. It's a no brainer for him.

This is relevant because of the reasons Broun wants national attention. The ABH will never go after the real story behind this story. SO... GO FOR IT!

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
