Obama receiving 30 death threats a day

[Nitro Express]

Bush lived because Darth Cheney would replace him. That's like replacing a turd full of peanuts with a turd full of corn.

[Seshmeister]

Honestly, I'm amazed Bush made it through eight years without somebody putting a bullet in him. With as much hatred and animosity as THAT guy generated, I am.

Well, it's additional proof that liberals are the more sensible of the bunch...

The security was/is insane now though.

Most of the time when he was giving speeches abroad it was only secret service and journalists in the audience.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Maybe so, but vitriol that is being spun up by the right is quickly getting out of control.... It doesn't matter that some of it is Bush-originated (economy) or simply promulgating misinformation (healthcare), I really fear one of these dingbats is going to do something tragic...

There was a piece of MSNBC the other day on Rachel Maddow. A Republican author (and whatever else he does politically) was on saying the very same thing as you. I don't know his name; I'd have to to MSNBC.com and try and find the segment.

He was upset by this Republican pot-stirring and warned it could be the trigger some nut needs to do something stupid.

It was interesting to listen to what he said, and nice to see his political views didn't blind him to the possibility of something bad happening.

[Dolemite!]

It could be a real nutjob who ends up doing something. Depending on when that might happen it could be a useful tool. Demoralize and throw people further into confusion. Or make them forgiving of Obama's work. A sock puppet is disposable from the start.

Well I hope you guys in the USA all get good healthcare.

I don't know much about the American healthcare system. Our system in Canada has it's flaws, but I think those flaws are better than marching in the streets fighting over whose's plan is best.

Sure there's an element of socialism, but democracy should have an element of socialism. Help those who need it. The problem is of course those who exploit that.

Was it Francis Schaefer Jr?

Schaefer and his father were evangelicals and part of the original crowd that invented the Religious Right back in the late 1970's. He now considers himself agnostic and is trying to undo some of the damage that he and his former business partners have done to the US.

[Baby's On Fire]

I dunno FORD. It might have been. I'll go back and look. It was I think Friday night on MSNBC.com...so probably Thursday's show.

You're a Rachel fan aren't you? Anyway I'll try and find the spot.

[Seshmeister]

The really tragic thing about any assasination of Obama would be having to listen to a whole brand new stream of conspiracy theory bullshit.

[Baby's On Fire]

Well Obama being shot would be a tragic thing unto itself wouldn't it?

I like that dude. I think he's trying to do the best he can given the mess he inherited. Sure he's not perfect, but he is doing what he said he would do.

And no scandals yet, unless you believe The Globe that claims to have outed his homosexual lover.

[FORD]

I like Rachael, but I haven't seen much of her show recently because she's on the same time that Mike Malloy is on the radio, and also I haven't had cable TV hooked up in a while.

Friday though, I just happened to be watching, because Malloy had a rerun on, and I've managed to get a spotty digital TV signal on my computer that works some days better than others.

[Baby's On Fire]

I'll try and find it later.

Anyway the guy made a lot of sense and wasn't impressed by these proters, or moreso by his belief they are mostly staged.

He was sure concerned about inciting violent nut jobs.

That's him!

Schaeffer pretty much nails it...but then he should know, they used to be part of his flock...
