Now I don't care for Obamas policies one bit, but for someone to do this is just downright disgusting.

He supposedly is an "admirer." One thing is for sure, he'll be in the asylum for quite some time.

It actually reminds me of the way John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan to "impress" Jodie Foster. There are some sick puppies out there!

I am very concerned that BO will go too far and some nut will try to do him in. I don't like the man, but would never wish him dead.

How does President Obama's "going too far" have anything to do with it? You claim to be taking the high road by never wishing him dead, but you take it back by implying that he could go too far and then deserve it - or at least provoke people to such an extent that they react badly.

You are part of the insanity. You fans of Hannity/Rush/Coulter/Malkin/etc. are helping the culture of hatred that could result in a very bad situation. You don't get to participate with those scum without taking the blame when some crazy nutbag acts out on what he's heard from your community.

This pisses me off the more I think about it. President Obama is a centrist. You all fabricate a huge threat to America then try to act shocked that "some nut" out there might "try to do him in." You go on a tear, claiming "he's a Muslim terrorist-loving socialist" who's not qualified to be POTUS and who's destroying America with his stimulus package! Well, what should a person do who believes that crap? Wouldn't the person who acted to save America from your B. Hussein Obamanation be a patriot? Wouldn't that person be a hero?

Wake up to what you are doing - you are helping create that nut. You are enabling that nut. You will share in the blame if that nut ever does something.

So quit faking like you have any concern at all about something bad happening to our President.

Agreed. How could Obama - a centrist - go too far and what would it trigger?

That's a really scary statement because enough people have been brainwashed by the media to believe he's pushing us over some precipice as a country. Glenn Beck's talking about civil war and Hannity about the end of America. Palin was going on and on about him palling around with terrorists (because he was on an education board for a very conservative philanthropist with Ayers).

It's all absurd and flat out lies, but a lot of people whose consciousness is rooted in fear and who aren't educated enough for critical analysis are triggered by that propaganda. If he goes down, it won't be because of some nut "out there". It will be because of this culture of propaganda.

And what about the nuts in your community and all of the hatred they spewed about George Bush and everyone in his administration. Did you wish him dead? If something had happened to him, would you be responisble because of your scummy associates. See it doesn't work that way.

A "centrist" surely you jest. There is nothing centrist about Obama. Clinton was more of a centrist, not Obama.

You are part of the problem, idiot.

"Going too far"? WTF? What on Earth has he done to "go too far"? His very high approval rating says otherwise.

Please press mute on the wingnut-radio and come to your senses.
