WASHINGTON - The unprecedented number of death threats against President Obama, a rise in racist hate groups, and a new wave of antigovernment fervor threaten to overwhelm the US Secret Service, according to government officials and reports, raising new questions about the 144-year-old agencys overall mission.
The Secret Service is tracking a far broader range of possible threats to the nations leaders, the officials said, even as it also investigates financial crimes such as counterfeiting as part of its original mandate.
The new demands are leading some officials, both inside and outside the agency, to raise the possibility of the service curtailing or dropping its role in fighting financial crime to focus more on protecting leaders and their families from assassination attempts and thwarting terrorist plots aimed at high-profile events.

I wonder if the “artists” who wrote about different ways to assassinate President Bush and actors who suggested torture and execution were also investigated. If so, they would have been equally strained.
so many bloggers to visit, so little time
We live in a screwed up world when the assasination of Obama will be viewed as a hate crime.
The absurdity of this from the same set of hypocrites that defended movies made about assassinating Bush is amazing.
Of course he is going to be hated HE hates Americans!
Gee..maybe if the Kenyan didn’t fly to a new city every day for a campaign stop he’d be safer?
agenda time again .
This time Boston globe into making everyone feel sorry for their messiah.
There’s an assumption here that our leaders should not be threatened; I reject this assumption, if leaders do not want to be threatened then they should act Justly.
Jefferson, I believe, noted that when people fear their government there is tyranny, but when governments fear their people there is liberty. What could make government more afraid than the very real possibility of the killing of leaders who refuse to abide by the Constitution? (If a second Magna Carta incident is needed, then so be it.)
a rise in racist hate groups”
####
Like:
- The Obama Administration.
- ACORN.
- The Congressional Black Caucus.
- The NFL Players’ Association
- La Raza
- CAIR.
But of course, the Boston Globe is referring to those 8 or 9 “Neo-Nazi skinheads” that are utterly terrorizing America.
are racist hate groups illegal?
With double / triple the number of agents.
exactly
The Boston globe had no problem with Bush infact they thought it was alright that folks called for the death of Bush and showed the signs all the time.
They never reported back then how the left every day said they wanted Bush dead etc
SS = drama queens
Just another baloney article by the GLOBE (owned by the NYTIMES)setting the agenda in case something bad can be pinned on the right.
I would not put it past Soros and Co. to underwrite an “incident”...then pin it on Beck or Limbaugh.
Can see it coming.
I haven’t done an anaylsis, but I’ll wager that the Clinton appointed supervisors in the Secret Service investigated very few threats made against George W. Bush...Just off the top of my head, I can’t think of even ONE...
Oh my, this sounds like a job for...
the civilian security force!!
Just as strong, just as powerful, just as well-funded as the miltary!
/S
BS!
Excellent.........................................
The Secret Service is tracking a far broader range of possible threats to the nations leaders, the officials said, even as it also investigates financial crimes such as counterfeiting as part of its original mandate.
So they are tracking a "broader range" of threats, and, lo and behold, they found more of them?
My needle on my BS meter just snapped off.
Hey Globe dumbos - nix the race stuff. Obama is easily hatable for: withholding his sorry records, his socialist tendencies, his complete inability to talk without a prompter, his loonish selection of fellow dumbos for the cabinet, his complete inability to comprehend even basic math...etc, etc, lack of care for our military, his total lack of any record of experience and judgement - etc, etc, etc.
I don’t give a poo-poo about his “race”. I do care about the fact that he’s stupid, stupid, STOOOOOOOPID!!!
Clearly, all these alleged “racial” hatred death threats against THE ONE is to lay the groundwork for the creation of a political secret police force modeled on the STASI and KGB.
Already the SS are top guns in the Department of Homeland Security, the next logical move for an Administration bent on totalitarianism is place the Director of the SS and his agency over ALL elements of security and law enforcement as was done in Nazi Germany.
SS...Hmmm? Why do I feel a chill?
Oh rubbish!
One these so-called “death threats” was some poll on Facebook by some kid, who had no more an intention to kill anyone than a worm.
This is a normal Stalinist KGB tactic of inflating “threats” to an oppressive regime, in order to crack down on free speech and any opposition to the Communist in Chief, who is busy destroying the very frabric of this country.
” a rise in racist hate groups, “
There is rise in racist groups alright..from the black race hating outfits led by Jesse Jackson, Al Shaprpton, Van Jones and an assortment of black race hustlers who launched a vicious racist campaign against Rush Limbaah just lask wee.
“and a new wave of antigovernment fervor threaten to overwhelm the US Secret Service”
Anti-goverment fervor is about the best thing that any American can do right now, given that the evil 0bama regime is busy doing whatever it can do destroy this country.
someone needs to throw a show at Obama.
“Antigovernment fervor”?
How is that related to the mission of the Secret Service?
- The Obama Administration.
- ACORN.
- The Congressional Black Caucus.
- The NFL Players Association
- La Raza
- CAIR.
- The New Black Panthers
- The United Nations
Comrade: IT IS RACIST NOT TO SEE RACISM BEHIND ANYONE IN OPPOSITION AGAINST BIG BROTHER OBAMA.
Also, “two plus two equals five.”
And, “Oceania has always been at war against Eurasia.”
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT, COMRADE!
NEWS FLASH ! They already are!
“Oh my, this sounds like a job for...
the civilian security force!!
Just as strong, just as powerful, just as well-funded as the miltary!”
THEM IS FIGHTIN’ WORDS!!!
and a new wave of antigovernment fervor threaten to overwhelm the US Secret Service,...just as the Left has planned. “Overwhelm the system.” How many of these “threats” have come from the Communists? Might be a good study.
It isn’t, but it is the mission of the OBAMA Secret Service, the new OSS.
“The unprecedented number of death threats against President Obama”
Does anyone believe this? I do not.
Where were the articles about the Secret Service when Bush was threatened all day long and people wrote books about it?
Those evil hatemongers should be locked up for their own good!
I'm throwing the BS flag.
You know how you can look for a goverment informent in a militia or conservative blog?
You look for the person who wants to kill the president or overthrow the goverment and is vocal about it. Chances are he is the one offering to make bombs or sell illegal weapons.
If the goverment was concerned about terrorists, they would go after Eco Terrorists like ELF or ALF. Most polictal violence comes from the left.
Yep, that’s the case. I’d hide under the bed, but the dust bunnies are mean.
someone needs to throw a show at Obama.... You are right. How about “Cats” ?
government officials? As in reports from the Obama White House? I don't believe this story for a minute.
I'm thinking "Springtime for Hitler".
Provocations?
Yes, I would imagine that most of the real threats against Obama are made by Leftards with the express purpose of providing rationalization for Administration “Czars” who want to create a STASI style secret police force charged with suppression of free speech and armed with the force of the federal government.
Come to think of it: Maybe Obama himself is behind the campaign?
After all, Hitler ordered the burning of the Reichstag in order to crush the communists.
Come on now, George Soros would never bankroll a Broadway satire about Obama and if a conservative tried to, he’d be run out of the country as a, “RACIST!”
I think the stats on turnover in the SS since January would be interesting.
How many agents have resigned, how many have been transferred out of D.C. and how many New Black Panthers have been added.
That might be an interesting subject for Andrew Breitbart's people to delve into.
