Really? Why. Do you even know who he is? He can't even hold a town hall here without people being bussed in that aren't even from Long Island to shout him down like children. We can't talk about our own issues becuase "teabaggers" are being bussed in and disrupting our town halls to the point where they are threatening violence and people have to be escorted to their cars by police.
Even though all economic indicators suggest that things beginning to improve, the right wing media seems to be ratcheting up the propagana and lies about Obama's policies (for example, completely misinterpreting a small section of the bill as "death care").
Followers are crashing town hall meetings and basically getting whipped into a frenzy like they were during the campaign when they were yelling things like "terrorist" and "kill him" at rallies before the McCain campaign stepped back on the rhetoric that was whipping people into such a frenzy.
One heavily armed woman scouted out a military base to plan a terrorist attack against it because Glenn Beck convinced her it was a FEMA camp.
I realize Clinton faced the same irrational fear before going down as one of the most successful presidents, but I'm increasingly concerned Obama won't survive long enough to reach that point.
How ridiculous you sound. Who's fear mongering now? If anything happens to him, he brought it all on himself. Our forefathers warned us about governments like this one and made provisions in the Constitution so we can protect ourselves from a tyranny. No violence needs to take place, just voting. Is that what you're afraid of?
That "piece of SH*T" as you called him is a VET who put his A$$ on the line for you and this country. Did you hear him? He was arguing only because they are now trying to lie and say VA hospitals are successful. I would think a Vet should know better than anyone how a VA hospital is.
You are a disgrace.
um.. i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure the 'piece of sh*t' synopsis was referring to was the congressman.

One of the most disgusting things I've read.
again.

This really cracks me up. I could swear you are talking about the tactics of lunatic liberal protestors and they are FAR worse. Then you have the radical brethren of hussein obama's ACORN using strong arm tactics a threats, along with the black Liberation army who Hussein Obama let off the hook for their crimes. Mirror boys, look in the mirror.
So I take it that you "intellectuals" believe the poeple do not have the right to question their representitives. you mistake people of sanity for the lemmings of the left that are willing to swallow any and every lie their messiah throws their way.
don't worry. Your messiah is very well protected by very big guns. Of course we know this whole rant you have going on is not concern, but a left wing production.
By the way considering the rage and hate we have seen from the leftist towards Palin, maybe hussein obama could loan her a few thugs with big guns to protect her.
If you could take the hyper-partisan hat off for a moment, you would realize that I do not identify as a liberal, so simply lofting bombs into that foxhole is rather worthless.
No one's saying this is just a problem with the right. This isn't a thread about which side has the crazier loons. It's not about suppressing a healthy debate about important policy issues.
It's about the media ratcheting up fear to the point that a few unstable individuals who cannot differentiate between propaganda and reality assassinate the president in the name of what they perceive to be "saving their country" or "the greater good".
Just look at LogicWing's first response for evidence of this mindset.

You're an idiot. The conservative party (notice I didn't say republican, because there's nothing conservative about them) doesn't want to kill Obama. We want him to fail, because if he succeeds in what he's trying to do, he'll ruin our country.
This is just a troll thread trying to stir something up. Your savior is protected by the best trained security force in the world.
Just because we loudly voice our displeasure about the idiot in chief doesn't mean we want him dead. In fact, there have been several leftist posters on this board calling for the heads of republican voices (Savage, Cheney, etc), but we never hear any complaint from you about that.
Stop being drama queens. We're concerned for our country. The only way you can fight is to try and stir up garbage like this. It won't work.
I don't know if there were other incidents but the one that was widely publicized happened in my area. The allegations were found to be untrue. Of course you never heard that did you?
Singleton would be the reporter....I should note the newspaper in question that originally reported it has a heavy left bias IMO.
Hey coalman. Good to see you again.
I'm not sure what allegations you are speaking of. There are numerous videos of people acting violently and irrationally at Congressional townhall meetings. No one's saying anything illegal happened. It's their right. I just watch that as I watched those rallies and know that a few could take it too far.

The youtube video posted is of a congressman from my area.
He had to be escorted to his car by police. So yes, they're taking it too far.
Oh stop with this nonsense! I am sending this to Glenn Beck, I hope you hear from his attorney for spreading these lies. All you liberals do nothing but come up with lies to try to make anyone who cares about their country sound like a nut.
The only time I have seen violence at a rally was liberals are turning over dumpsters or burning cars.
AND your comment about the "kill him" at the McCain rally is a blatant lie. That was in Ohio and after Obama made those claims every cop and secret service had been questioned and not one of them heard these words. It was just a LIE!
Liberals Lie, and you are proof of that!
Well, what i conveyed was reported on a couple news outlets. If they were mistaken, then I apologize. I know stories sometimes spread before they are validated, so please provide a link refuting that story.
I heard the "kill him" line for myself, so I will stick to my guns on that one.
In the larger context, this isn't about liberals or conservatives. It's simply about the rhetoric and tactics moving to a new level of intensity that I worry could push a few too far. That's all.
