Obama's Safety: Fear Grows for President as Hate Groups Thrive on Racial Backlash
ABC News ^ | 08/14/09 | Brian Ross

Posted on 08/14/2009 7:48:37 AM PDT by Sig Sauer P220

Experts who track hate groups across the U.S. are growing increasingly concerned over violent rhetoric targeted at President Obama, especially as the debate over health care intensifies and a pattern of threats emerges.

The Secret Service is investigating a Maryland man who held a sign reading "Death to Obama" and "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids" outside a town hall meeting this week. And in New Hampshire, another man stood across the street from a Presidential town hall with his gun on full display.

Los Angeles police officers apprehended a man Thursday after a standoff with him inside a red Volkswagen Bug car in Westwood, CA – the latest disturbing case even though officials said the man had mental problems.

I could easily see the group/country that put Obama into the presidency (his puppeteers) off Obama, and then blaming it on a patriot/conservative or angry middle aged white male hoping to spark the Civil War II that they want, in order to bring down this country.

....yes I expect that those who strongly criticise Obama will be subject to arrest....this will be done in the interest of “public safety”

This guy is at very little risk. He is constantly surrounded by machine gun carrying SS and is never in the open. This is all just propaganda to try and tar good conservatives with a different view of things.
He is running around like a Third World Dictator with his armed guards and caravan of armored vehicles..what else does he need?

“The Secret Service is investigating a Maryland man who held a sign reading “Death to Obama” and “Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids” outside a town hall meeting this week.”

This one is going to jail, and he should.

“And in New Hampshire, another man stood across the street from a Presidential town hall with his gun on full display.”

This man did NOTHING wrong other than to exercise several constitutional rights at the same time. Unfortunately for him and us, those in power in this nation right now only believe in “certain” constitutional rights such as abortion, givernment run health care and gay marriage.

There have always been nuts and extremists in this country who would assassinate a politician. Most of them are just that - nuts. I’m not sure what kind of fool would parade around with a “Death to Obama” sign.

Just another diversionary tactic... like who believes the un-named, 51 year old man carried a death to Obama poster and got arrested... and who believes that the stand off at the Federal Building in LA wasn't staged by Obambi and his minions??????

I only trust the facts --> who, what, where, how, why...

ABC is engaged in a full court press this morning, going on about how the secret service is concerned for the president's safety from people "who are full of hate for no other reason than who he is".

Their attempts at public manipulation are growing more crude by the day.

Oh please. How many times did people demonstrate while demanding death to Bush, hang him in effigy, etc.? All of a sudden, ABC “fears” for a president’s safety. And those who object to the president’s policies are racist haters. How dumb do they think we are? That said, the nutjob in Maryland needs to be in an asylum for calling for the death of BO and his family. That is hateful, and does not move the principled opposition to BO forward a single inch.

We know this push is not about 0bama’s safety in the least -

it’s about criminalizing dissent.

I don’t like or watch ABC. I guess that makes a double racist.

Yep. My thoughts exactly. Look for a Reichstag Fire incident coming soon.

While officials told ABC News that the President's daily threat matrix has yet to reflect a sharp increase in threats, White House officials privately admit deep concern and have told the Secret Service to keep security tight, even if Obama objects.

So which is it? Is he getting more death threats or not?
