Tinfoil time?

[hootinholler]

This whole Huckabee comment got me thinking...

The scenario is shortly before the general election, Obama is assassinated. This results in riots and civil unrest similar to that which followed MLK. The administration uses this to invoke martial law and party on.

How far out to lunch am I?

[Libby2]

1. Dinner?

Just kidding, nothing would surprise me.

[seemslikeadream]

2. It's all the talk around the "sites"

but they say AFTER the election and then Hilly will be president. then the riots

[tbyg52]

3. I don't think you're out to lunch at all. I worry. nt

[liberal N proud]

4. My biggest fear for Obama...

is that some crazy bigot will shoot him

[hootinholler]

5. I don't think it's possible for some random crazy biggot to get close enough to shoot him.

If anyone does, I suspect it will be a CIA patsy.

[liberal N proud]

6. Wouldn't be surprised

But it is driven by the lasting bigotry in America

[nancyr]

7. Nothing would surprise me.

We can never underestimate what bigots and racists are capable of. I'm afraid it's a lot more common than most people ever dream of.

8. Huckabee represents the GOP mentality . . . you're right to be concerned . . .

However, should anything happen to Obama it won't be because of a "lone nut" ---

and neither could any of our past political violence in America be blamed on anything

but organized/corrupt government activity ---

look to LBJ/Hoover/Nixon/Bush/CIA/Helms ....

We're in the same gene pool which stole this land from the native American and then fairly
efficiently wiped them all out --- save a few . . .

9. As long as Obama plays ball with the corporations he won't be killed n/t

[AZ Criminal JD]

10. Don't kid yourself. Obama is not MLK. No riots.

[Delphinus]

12. Well, he might not be MLK,

but I wouldn't bet on NO RIOTS.

[Indenturedebtor]

13. I would riot. n/t

[AZ Criminal JD]

21. When one person riots it's just an insane person acting up.

[cali]

11. speculating about Obama being assassinated to feed your own

twisted theories, sucks. Big time.

[rucky]

14. I think the thought had crossed most of our minds. n/t

[Spooky_D]

15. Try Not To Think That Way...

I admit I had similar thoughts but I always stop myself and instead visualize how proud I'll be when I see him taking the oath of office and doing amazing good for the country while he's our President.

To think of anything else is too painful and negative.

[ThatsMyBarack]

22. Me, too! Me, too!

Welcome to DU, Spooky_D! :hi: :patriot:

[lovuian]

16. I know that ESP Evelyn Paglini on Coast to Coast

She said New hamshire wasn't going to decide the election and she was right

Also that she placed a protective spell around Obama because she feared something was going to happen

so if we are going WAY out there I'll add this :tinfoil:

18. glad to hear c2c isn't as red as it used to be -- :)

[Stinky The Clown]

17. JFK, RFK, and MLK .......

.... show that it is possible.

Any thinking person has to agree that it is **at least possible** that **at least one** of these three assassinations was a coup d'etat. The other two could be arguably called pre-coups (to coin a phrase).

And so, even today, nothing is outside the realm of *possible*. Obama has many of the traits that makes one a target for nutters .... which makes a serious but anonymous pre-coup easier to accomplish.

Don't tell me I'm giving 'them' ideas. If anyone is giving ideas, it is 'them' causing people like me to think this sort stuff is even possible.

19. You're holed up in Bolivia in a little cantina with Butch & Sundance.

At least, I hope so.

[maxpower]

20. I worry

I tell my friends that is my biggest fear for him. JFK, MLK, RFK....etc. Some "lone nut" and yet another conspiracy theory.
