(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."

Of course it is one thing to put hate messages on one's own dorm room door; or create a racial incident at work by faking offense; or burn a cross on their own lawn; while laying blame elsewhere. . .but this is going a bit over the top. Am stunned at the rhetoric that contain not only the ugliest racist rhetoric but incendiary words as well.
We can only wonder - and remember - that there IS a wisdom and a warning; in those who 'protest too much'. . .
[Saw headline at Drudge; re National Guard - practicing maneuvers at High School - prepping for riots over H1N1; and suspect it is not because they imagine there will be riots if not enough vaccine; nor do I think that is the only thing they are preparing for!. We are so in trouble folks. . .]
throwing yourself in front of the train does not stop the train. the most effective weapon is the brain.
The race card is losing its lustre. People can see beyond the facade. Our first affirmative action president is failing fast, and the only defense his synchophants can assemble is the race card.
If we don't praise the worst president in American history, we're racist?
We didn't praise Carter, either, so why didn't they call us racist for that? What gives?
The left has no logic.
In my opinion, Oboma is politically hurting the politicians in the democrat party as much as he's fiscally and socially hurting the U.S. citizens. If I were Oboma, I'd watch my back around them more than us, and they have a heck of a lot more access to him than we do. If anything does ever happen to him, I'd start with his fellow democrat politicians first and move on from there.
I couldn’t agree more.That’s what they do best.
” just as every leftist interest group will find the thing that justifies their existence. “
‘... just as every leftist interest group will *invent* the thing that justifies their existence. ‘
[there - fixed it]
The only thing I want to see happen to Obozo, is to be evicted from the White House in handcuffs.
Not only do I doubt his citizenship, but I feel he is guilty of treason. But come to think about it, if he is not a citizen, can he be tried for treason?
Nope. No left wing biased reporting there. (/S)
It sounds like the left is setting the stage to blame someone else already. If I were Oboma, I'd keep a close eye on my left wing "friends". Like his race, they're the only ones talking about his demise.
"That which you do, blame other for doing" - Lenin
They want you scared to speak out, want you to feel if you do it you do you are a wacko hater of some type.
Notice no facts in the story, this is bull.
Just like in Sean Town Hall last night, All those for the health-care were repeating points like this they heard on the news and From White House.
These people need to be careful who they attach the label of assassin to. There have always been nuts and extremists willing to kill a politician. They are not the same as people who have legitimate objections to Obama’s policies.
Southern Poverty Law Center? Do they do ANYTHING to help poor southeners with legal issues?
I believe they know Oboma is a dangerous man. When the left gets creamed in 2010 and Oboma is political toast, ACORN, the black panthers, the radical Muslim cells, etc. and other socialist/communist/ fanatics/ loons aren't going to be happy. They didn't get all the free stuff they wanted.
The reality is, the Democrats have nothing. Nothing to defend their bill with. So they resort to smears of their opponents. Just how many assassins do they think are out there?
Maybe he’s NOT apostate...
He’s practicing “taqiyya”.
I would welcome any attempt by Congress to impeach this imposter either on grounds of treason, abuse of executive office authority,or his ineligibility due to his citizenship status,

RULE 6: "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." They'll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They're doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
Im sure they’ve studied the nazi techniques closely. Perhaps we should take another look and see what could have stopped the nazi’s so we don’t make the same mistakes.
the parrallels go well beyond this graphic. their treatment if the economy for example.
Time for the race card to stop working. When someone uses it, openly mock and ridicule them as intellectually vacuous and not having any other legitimate argument.
On the article, what I most enjoyed reading was that Rush Limbaugh's comparison of the Nazi logo with the 0bama healthcare logo would
"legitimize someone to go out and do something or say something."
