http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/wingnut-republicans-want-the-president-to-be-assassinated-coincidentally/As noted last week, the same hate speech that helped get President Kennedy killed is being used against President Obama. Of course, with the manifold new technologies that have appeared over the past fifty years, there is even more hate speech and incitement to be found these days, so we can say that the Prexy is in a whole helluva lot of danger. Coincidentally, hes our nations first Black Chief Executive.
Also on the 22nd, a Birtherbot threatened to kill the President. On the anniversary of Kennedys killing. Coincidentally.
On the following day, treasonous, seditious, child-molesting scumbucket Larry Klayman held a rally in DC, calling overtly for the overthrow of our legitimately elected government. Covertly, he called for Obamas assassination. Coincidentally.
On the same day as that rally, a Christian militia group declared that they have the right to kill the Prexy.. Coincidentally.
This writer is not the sharpest tool in the shed, nor is he the brightest bulb on the shelf. But it seems pretty interesting that all of these high-profile death threats against our President took place within 48 hours of the anniversary of another Presidential assassination. Coincidence, the threateners say; why, theres no connection between between their groups, not at all, honest, pinky swear. Coincidence.
And hey, maybe thats so. But even if these exceedingly similar death threats are not connected, it says a lot about our nation that they are happening at this time. And by an amazing coincidence, what it says is nothing good.

such as this.
It has been a constant since he won the election. And it does seem that it's OK with way too many Americans.
