Raw Story reports that this little noticed video of a recent townhall debate over healthcare evolved into a clear-cut threat on President Barack Obama’s life when an elderly man told the audience that they should be concerned about Obama because “he’s acting like a little Hitler.”

Tom Eisenhower, who described himself as a veteran of World War II, said he would “take a gun to Washington if enough of you would go with me.”

According to Raw Story, Eisenhower “seemed to be advocating something much stronger than a protest. Some in the audience applauded. One man booed.”

The video below distorts the audio in portions of the man’s statement, but he apparently made reference to the “death panel” myth, suggesting he would be told to die after he “hit 80.”

Sen. Grassley, a member of the Senate Finance Committee and one of the most important Republicans in the health insurance reform debate — who recently told AIG executives to “resign, or go commit suicide” — did not call out the man’s brazenly false analogy or object to his threat.

Instead, his response trailed and lacked any specificity. Although Grassley noted that former President George W. Bush initiated the massive bailouts and “started us on down that road,” he overtly sympathized with the elderly man’s angry sentiments toward President Obama.
