Are up 400% over threats to Bush's life. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts950 - broken link) I guarantee that these increased threats are all related to racism.

Bush had a lot of enemies on the left and the right as well, but his life was not in nearly as much danger as Obama's because his skin was/is white.

Anyone who denies that race plays a role in his increased danger is clearly delusional. The White Power Movement has seen an major increase in activity and recruitment since the Internet took hold on society, so it's only natural that some of them are becoming more bold and extreme.

As he was running, I feared for his safety, now I fear even more. I am actually surprised we've not had a legitimate threat to his life yet, which is a scary notion indeed.

It also helps to remember that right wing freaks are more armed and violent than left wing freaks, and thus more likely to make these threats. They are also more impressionable and able to get whipped into a frenzy by those who are leading the right wing movements than their left wing counterparts.

I'll never understand that. I never wished death upon President Bush and I would never wish that on Obama either. Honestly, NEITHER OF THEM have so far done anything that would even warrant my wanting them to be harmed.

And so what if race has something to do with it, what are you going to do about it? What is ANYONE going to do about it? Moderator cut: personal attack

2 Pres shot in our life time and one was almost shot: seems to me, none was shot or attempted to be shot by right wingers.

Your statement is just plain over the top....

Naw...

Can't be any racism involved. If there was, Limbaugh would be all over it.

Ugh yet another "every one that dislikes Obama is a raciest" post. It is really getting old not to mention this has been posted MANY times already.

No wonder the conservatives keep saying that "everybody who disagrees with Obama is called a racist!" They keep seeing it where it isn't happening.

The OP said that the huge increase in death threats was racist in nature.

Or are you making the asinine point that everyone who dislikes Obama wants to kill him? That's the only way your comment makes any sense at all.

You sure about that? I say it is the left wing radicals and the nutjobs hussein obama has out in his administration that are more of a threat to everyone. Ron Bloom's, the administration's manufacturing czar (anther lover of the mass murdering Mao quotes him:" political power comes at the barrel of a gun".

Also one of hussein obama's friends didn't use guns, he used bombs.

And lastly, it is the left winger nuts that get whiped up to a frenzy about everything. Witness any of their protests where we see violence, property damage and a police force must always be called.
