(WHERE WAS THE MEDIA WITH ALL THE BUSH DEATH THREATS!!!!???? This is ridiculous---if ANYTHING ever happened to Obama --the media will blame the right, it is a foregone conclusion--and all this because we dare stand up to this incompetent, dishonest man that is trying to reshape our country against will!)

Fear for Obama's Safety Grows as Hate Groups Thrive on Racial Backlash Violent Signs, Gun, Standoff Latest in Emerging Anger Towards the President
By BRIAN ROSS, ANNA SCHECTER and MEGAN CHUCHMACH August 14, 2009
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.
"I don't think these are simply people who are mentally ill or off their rocker," Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, told ABC News of those behind the threats. "In a very real sense they represent a genuine reaction, a genuine backlash against Obama."
The Plot to Kill Barack ObamaMore from Brian Ross and the Investigative Team
Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s – and are now using YouTube, rock music and the Internet to recruit members and spread hate and fear - shouldn't be ignored.
"It's certainly a scary time," said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, now an ABC News consultant. Garrett said the Secret Service "cannot afford to pass on anyone," and he believes "they really do fear that something could happen to [Obama]."
Garrett said statements like one recently made by Rush Limbaugh comparing logo for the White House plan to a Nazi symbol "legitimizes people who are on the edge to go do something or say something."

“Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s – and are now using YouTube, rock music and the Internet to recruit members and spread hate and fear - shouldn’t be ignored.”
To the “experts”: I doubt it’s the so-called militia groups who are engaging in domestic terrorism, but you don’t have to go far at all to find the real thing, i.e., the radicals that make up ACORN and the black panthers, just to name two groups who were caught red-handed intimidating and disenfranchising legal American voters.
.....This is Mob Politics, folks......
I can agree with your version of history as precedent.
That was my first reaction. And invoking all the forbidden hate-thoughts that go along with it.
"Oh! We mustn't criticize or disagree with The One!"
It's getting old, champ, all these tired psych-ops.
Then Specter will get to bring out his Magic Bullet Theory again
Obama is a puppet with a severe personality disorder. He is also a pathological liar.
It won’t be a conservative who would take him down. We don’t want a martyr.
Look at JKF. He was not a great president. His tragic death turned him into a legend.
I want Obama to live a long life and be exposed for the fraud that he is. He needs to remember that the next President will have access to his info.
Sounds too easy, I guess I'm in the wrong business.
Funny, I never saw reports of ‘experts’ upset over hatred expressed at Bush. And in this instance, I see hatred focused on policy, not Obama. Sure he’s a loon, but it’s his policies driving this. His skin tone has nothing to do with it.
The press and the left are a bunch of hating liars, propagandists to the bitter end.
Countdown to First Amendment Right to Free Speech being repealed because “Rush Limbaugh is actively telling people to kill HolyO” in 3...2...1...
Give me a freaking break. This is straight out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook—diversionary tactics!! The looneys on the left ALWAYS play the race card when they are backed in the corner, and they KNOW this ObamaCare crap is going down the toilet where it belongs!! >:-(
Fairness Doctrine Redux won’t be long now, people! This will get even uglier! When you have someone like Scott faking crap because he messed up in a town hall meeting, ANYTHING goes.
2010-NO DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON!!!!
Disclaimer: DUmmies, NO DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON does NOT mean go out and kill all the democrats!! ::rolls eyeballs at having to state the OBVIOUS::
The racist left-wingers may go after him.
These are the same boneheads that Janet From Another Planet Napeleonatano used for her research into ‘vast right wing domestic terrorists’—you know, regular people like you and me!!!
Arrrgggh. I am SOOOOOOOOO glad Americans are FINALLY waking up and telling these congress members what for!! I hope there’s a HUGH demonstration against HolyO today in Montana!! I’m sick of this crap! >:-(
Rush is talking about this RIGHT NOW!
I hate to agree..but this is exactly what I think might be ticking in their heads—and they’re already setting the “extreme mob” on the “right” to be framed for it.
I mean why is “responsible media” fanning the flames with this kind of sensationalistic, hugely polarizing crap?
HUGE not HUGH!
Gee...they’ve never done anything like *that* before.
/s
LOL!
No, no connection except an incidental amphibian one.
We saw lifelong Dems at the Cardin town hall and they were the possibly the maddest ones there.
Are you certain? This could be SERIES!!!!
;-)
As they schedule Obama appearances all over the place. What's wrong with this picture?
