Who do you think those skinheads would have voted for?
Who would profit by the assassination of Obama?
Hillary and McCain are closer friends with each other and have mutual benefactors.
Qui bono?

“The only thing missing are the vote for Mccain or Hillary buttons.”
Report this******************************
With Hillary AND Bill on the campaign trail with & for Obama, I’d say it’s time for ALL democrats to let any animosity towards the Clintons go! Sure long-held their dreams died hard (as would anyone’s) but in the end they bucked up and have shown to be loyal democrats. Plus they still have a LARGE and loyal following who have not all voted yet. This was a very dumb and divisive statement.

Why the surprise? Did this not start with the McCain-Palin campaign from the get-go? From the very beginning, when Ms. Palin accepted the nomination for the Vice Presidency, she has made it a point to be over-extreme to the maximum. She has consistently called Sen. Barack Obama, a Muslim, a fascist, a socialist, a terrorist and any other pejorative that she could think of.
Report thisFor one man, to be all of these things, would be a miracle, and I would surely vote for him if he was. Sen. Obama, has made mistakes in his life, but as time has moved on, he has become an honorable man, with the integrity and honesty to run this country.
He has chosen wisely his advisors, and listens to them, unlike the dedider, he makes it a point to seek out differing ideas and points of view.
Ms. Palin, on the other hand couldn’t even name a magazine that she had read within the last 6 months, and when asked by Katie Couric, which Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe v. Wade for some moments, stuttered and stammered and then could not name one decision. Do we, the people really need the dumbest bunny on the planet as the V.P. or G-d forbid, the president of the US?
I would think that any thinking person would surely vote for the Obama-Biden ticket, if only for the fact that they are more intellectually sound and have a grounding in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Jim Yell—How does it follow, that, because there are some skinheads that hate Obama (an, apparently all Af. AmS.) that the “main factor against Obama is his race”? I am probably voting Obama, put i could give you a long list of policy issues as to why I have my doubts.
What did Colombine have to do with race?
purplewolf—We had a couple of skinhead type racists, very early in the campaign, picketting Obama’s speeches. I think that this it the same thing. It is most probably, that , now , they see the almost-inevitability of Obama as president—and they “cant take it”.
John—Its true! The candidates have MUCH better Secret Service protection than they did with JFK, etc. The kids would have eben the most at risk.
Hey, gun afficionodos—really think that silly looking guy needs that big automatic? I think he should join Blackwater and be sent to Uzbekistan!

If there is a surpise in this it would be that there hasn’t been more of these incidents and if one thinks they are only school kids—remember Colombine.
It is a shock to find out how entrenched the racial hatred is in this country, if one hadn’t known it. So much so that the primary objection to Obama is that he is black.
One could ask wouldn’t it make sense to vote for the most able of the candidates now running? Isn’t it obvious that Obama is not only a centerist, but quite likely right of center? Still for white people or black people Obama/Biden represents what little hope we may have to return to Constitutional laws and Bill of Rights, otherwise we shall all be lost.

And when are they going to arrest Sarah Palin and John McCain, as they are the ones who initiated this plot by instigating the masses with hatred, talk of terrorism(Obama pals around with), the Rev. Wright thing, Obama is a socialist, etc, and all the other lies they started and stirred up into a frenzy in the ignorant masses, who believe every thing they say as actual truth, especially when you throw in a few “Gods” and you end up with this result.
This incident was only a matter of time after Sarah started her hate speeches and continued to rally the gullible into doing her bidding, eliminate the competition. If she was as moral as she claims she is, she would have stopped the rally cries of “off with his head, kill him,” and all the other threats she initiated. To claim she did not hear them is another lie. If she didn’t, there are tapes of these events, which I am certain she has viewed, and if not, she would have heard of this from the media, or does she not watch the news events either? The honorable thing to do at the start of her “pep rallies” would be to announce the problems of the public’s negative responses and to discourage the people from committing violence, since she never did, this gives those with little mental ability to think for themselves the go ahead to commit these acts of violence against others.
WE DO NOT NEED ANYMORE OF THIS TYPE OF NON-LEADERSHIP RUNNING AMERICA AGAIN.

Your identification of these individuals as Southerners shows liberals can be just as bigoted as conservatives.

The real story here is the school kids! We all know this isn’t a legitimate threat on Obama’s life.

Gawd, just look at this wierdo! Look at that gun (in the “read more” part)!
I thought that I would have more to say about it—but , now I just find myself baffled. I would be amused—but it is too scary.
I guess it is not a surprise. It still always feels like one , though.

Rush Limbaugh must be disappointed that they got caught. Conservative talk radio and Fox News poison and divide this country.
