I know a couple people right now, even ashamed to admit this, but keeping it real as always.
They each have empty chairs sititing on their front lawns with refernce to Obama.
I know of one family with Signs about Romeny, that are not nice in any way.
I have stated to them, i am not a Obama supporter, but these are the kinds of acts i do not condone from either side, and i am against this.
I already am hearing things from both sides, i do not like.
This is crazy, when are votes can amount to violence, for picking the candidate of our choice.
It is ingorance from both sides, that just add to the negativity for keeping some people away from the polls.
I am against empty stupid chairs on front lawns, and against evil hatred messages at the same time.
But something that people have a right to express, hopefully they will not get hurt in their process.
If threats like that were being made against Obama's potential win it would be on the front page of the NYtimes. Personally I don't think there will be full scale riots but there could definitely be trouble spots, to put it politely.
Maybe the media is ignoring the story because they don't want to publish the atrocious grammar and spelling in most of the anti-Romney tweets .
Although I think Twitter is lame (people just posting to see how many people are reading their posts, not really caring about what anyone else posts, lol) . . . there have been stories in the last few weeks about so many tweets referring to people getting violent in the streets and taking it out on white folks and wealthy neighborhoods if Romney wins.
Take it for what it is worth, which may not be much . . . but it does seem amazing for people to be so blatantly outrageous.

It seems to me that what I have been seeing against Romney won't be looked into since he is not a seated President and has not been elected. That is not what the law calls for but I doubt the Department of Injustice will ever look into any of it.
Seriously, if anything happens when Romney wins I will have to believe that progressives of all races are very likely to think they have to get even. I fully believe they will do it.
Could you post a link from a primary source regarding a riot after an election in the US? I agree with not getting into a disagreement with your relatives. It's not worth it!
I don't know what you call a primary source but maybe you would think that of Think Progress. Anyway here is one from there. Election | ThinkProgress
I have relatives who have talked seriously about their fear of riots in their neighborhood if Obama loses. One has even said she thinking about staying with other relatives if she thinks it will happen. She has been getting more worried about it lately. She is a Obama fan. I don't necessarily think she is being overly dramatic.
I recommend Xanax. Take one a day between now and the election.
You missed something here. The guns and ammo were bought AFTER Obama`s election. Why would the racist gun nuts expect a riot at that particular time?
Funny thing about the gun purchases right after Obama was elected, since most of these were female buyers.
Of course there was a lot of speculation that the gun grabbing left would try to get Obama to pass draconian anti gun law. He was smart enough to not try.
Now i want you to try and prove your not a racist...
Clearly, there's a segment of the conservative crowd that really is paranoid as hell.
These are the same people who have a small army of equipment in their basement and practice how to barricade themselves if "the socialists" come after their supply of beef jerky, or whatever. Keep that trigger finger itchy! Lots of target practice on the beer bottles. Always darting around like startled ferrets, wary of everything, since everything on the planet registers as a threat to them.
Fantasy play time is nice and all for these folks, but their psyche would really appreciate a chance for hunting season to go live. And so they post up all kinds of straw man insanities and praaaay like hell that it comes true.
"I heard that all of those immigrants, blacks, illegals, gays, lesbians, and other liberals are all planning to start a war right after the election. I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't want no trouble, but I'll have to defend myself. But I bought a hundred thousand rounds, five new guns... I'm sooooooo ready (please, God!)."
Great tawkin' point....... Feel that love huh How is that city life anyway?
"Blacks" will be put back into chains......are the Republicans using the words "liberals," or the phrase "Obama supporters," or the word "Democrats" as code words to mean blacks???? Would that indicate any prejudice?
BIDEN said that.... just so you know
