I think it will be worse violence than what we avoided in 2000. IMHO, if Obama fails to be re-elected in a close race, we could see massive rioting like what happened with Rodney King in 1992 with gangs of inner city residents rampaging through the streets, fermented by Jeremiah Wright types. If the police beating of a single black criminal can cause days of violence and chaos, one can only wonder what happens if a self-identified black president and former radical community organizer fails to be re-elected, the anger that will be present in America's inner city communities. I live in Baltimore and am very wary of this and in my opinion alone, I think people living in or near major cities should all be concerned about this possibilty. There are also radical socialist, anarchist, and hippie organizations that may engage in violence, on a far larger level than what we see whenever the World Bank, the G8, or the IMF meets.

I don't think the same people who burned down Los Angeles in 1992 or who rampaged through Seattle during the WTO meetings will just sit at home and do nothing if their candidate is defeated, especially if the race is close and the victor is white. If it is Michael Steele or Bobby Jindal perhaps this MAY be avoided, and even then that would be a HUGE perhaps.
Wow somebody is paranoid of blacks! radical community organizer? self identified black?
Run for the hills white boy!

Reading through this thread we can see all the demented comments from the left wingers that proves they are becoming more and more unhinged. Blacks pay taxes too so I do not think the majority will be too happy with hussein obama by the end of his term.

Nope. People were predicting end-of-civilization-as-we-know-it type of violence after the last election for some reason too. I think some people just LIKE thinking it could happen. It's very telling.

No... because if those angry Obama supporters were to try any violence in my neighborhood they will be running when I unload on them.

It will be funny though to hear how whatever other candidate "stole" the election though from Obama

Joe Stack was far more in-line with liberals no matter how many times you post that crap.



As for the working class and blacks they will be mad at hussein obama when they have less and less to live on because of him. hussein obama is losing favor in all polls even from liberal sources like CNN. Only the die hard sheep still slobber over him.

Joe Stack complained about distaste of taxes, big government and the Catholic Church. Sounds like rightwing rhetoric to me.

And I'm working class and I made $3800 more than I did last year. I love Obama's policies!
