Anyone else at least a little concerned about all the threats against President-elect Obama

It seems to me it is the left who is being easily excited? I'm expecting Jpeytonplace to have a premature ejaculation any moment now.

Well, it's hard to say. Both sides have great paranoia. But remember, it's very easy for a paranoid of one side to get excited when he sees a paranoid of the other side get excited.

Just mention clinging to guns and Bibles, for example, as the Prozac of the right, and clingers all over the country go into a fit. It's like shinning a light on cockroaches.

Or take how laundries all over the country in Democratic districts were flooded with business after Reagan made some crack that he's launched WW3.

Libs also make up false reports of death threats at Palin rallies so calm down girls.

I hate to say it, but Butterbean has a great point.

It really isn't, it's honestly a very poorly reasoned point.

Just because George Bush had the type of grumbling described about above, does not in any way change or inform about the seriousness of the threats against Barack Obama. Unrealized threats against Eisenhower did not prevent JFK from being gunned down.

It is an irrelevant comparision, and an example of very bad reasoning, to make the assertion that: because one thing did not happen, another thing that may be similar in some respects is unlikely to happen also.

No, it doesn't change the seriousness of the threats. It clearly shows that this isn't by any measure exclusive to the right wing nuts. That was his point (I think), and he was correct. Who knows where you got your notion from.

If that was his point, it is an irrelevant one to the issue raised in this thread, which regards concern for the threats made to President-elect Obama's life
