I wonder how many people on this forum, or in the talk radio universe would be happy if Obama was killed. Do you think Rush or Glenn Beck would be happy that America was saved from someone who was "destroying" it?
I suspect so.
I honestly don't think that they would be happy. I think that they are exploiting things for their ratings at the expense of the country. They want BO around for a long time, so that they can profit off of their hate spin.

You know, I forgot about that. But even then, if it happened, they'd be sad for selfish reasons.
Amid raucous protests on health care, some worry about Obama's safety - Yahoo! Canada News (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090811/world/us_obama_death_threats - broken link)

WASHINGTON - Death threats are part of the job for any American president, but Barack Obama has reportedly had more levelled against him than any commander-in-chief in history.
Concerns about his safety are mounting in the midst of a tense summer that has seen mobs of angry demonstrators showing up to protest Obama's health-care reform plans - including a man openly carrying a pistol on Tuesday in New Hampshire, where the president held a town hall meeting on health care.

This is no surprise to me. There are still a ton of racists in this country that will never accept a black man in office. Honestly I am surprised there hasn't been a known attempt yet. I even heard about pools going around on how long it will be before someone takes him out.
I don't give a damn. He wanted the job, he got it, with all it entails. He's destroying this country. Tell me: why should I care a bit about him?
And BTW: the race card is very old. And that incident in NH was much ado about absolutely nothing.
Yes, it does indeed sound very much like a real socialist. Someone the Affirmative Action President clearly seeks to emulate with his government Death Panels to euthanize the elderly (to begin with).
You keep calling President Obama the "Affirmative Action President." On what basis do you make that claim. He won the election by enough votes, both popular and electorial, that he didn't need the Supreme Court to appoint him. So, on what basis....be specific....do you proclaim him an "Affirmative Action President."
I swear, the more I read this board, the more I come to realize you right-wingers really are insane. No one in the right mind, could possibly believe it is ok for an unknown individual with a gun to be anywhere near the President.

Because he's the president of the United States of America and perhaps, regardless of what you believe about him and his politics, he should be respected for that or at least his position should?
Every man that has ever held the job wanted it. In every served term in the history of this country, someone, sometimes a lot of someones have complained, moaned and hissed that the man was destroying the country. Oddly enough, we've survived 200+ years anyway.
LML has it right. You can despise someone in the job but there should be a limit there too. I hated Bush with a passion but I never wished the man harm. Patriotism is not, or should not, be limited to what you alone believe is right and wrong. It should mean more than waving a flag, toting a gun, believing in your civil liberties, the constitution and any other number of things you may believe in.
At its heart, it should be about what the country means, stood for, was founded to be... that shining beacon on the hill. If you believe in that at all, it is my opinion, that you can never be that blase about a man that then represents this very thing you (general you) claim to love and want to 'save'.
Love of country is also the love of the democratic process. This was the will of the people. That is what makes our country great.
Now, I think I'm going to go back to lurking and ignoring all the news because a lot of the crap that is being spouted here and around the country disgusts me.
Sarah Palin was right on the mark, the Affirmative Action President has taken a page directly out of Adolf Eichmann's book with his Death Panels for the purpose of euthanizing the elderly. The German Jews allowed themselves to be disarmed in 1937, and we all know how that turned out.
Before you are factually called stupid and a liar, can you please show us where "affirmative action" has anything to do with this president.
People complain about the "race card" and at every idiotic opportunity throw out the "affirmative action" code word.
We still see through it, your'e stupid and prejudiced!!
