As to the increase in "threats" - yeah, in this day and age with the web and other techs the "threats" can be found more easily. Back in the day this same "threat" might have just been two guys sitting in a coffee shop yapping.

That may be.

I doubt it. Remember, guys hanging around Obama appearances with loaded handguns and assault rifles are barely scrutinized. Crazy preachers from AZ who openly advocate killing Obama don't seem to warrant a visit from the feds (that I'm aware of). Obviously, you have to do something really batshit insane to get the attention of the Secret Service these days.

As a side note, do you have a link to that story?

I would reason why the threats are on the rise against O'Bamma is that he is an obnoxious self centered bag of wind that goes out of his way to talk down to all his detractors. The man exudes arrogance. It is almost like O'Bammah thinks he is the king of the world. Is there any wonder why a lot of people do not hate the arrogant politician?

O'Bammah is stealing from the Poor and giving the money to the rich banks while people are being layed off and their houses are all being reposessed. People see the government helping banks and car companies while people are having to spend all their retirement funds and paying tax penalties. Do you need any other reason to hate the man? Enough with rescuing rich assholes that are paying themselves bonuses while the poor get poorer!

Marxists are the reverse of Robin Hood! Steal from the poor and give the money to rich communists.

Ignoring your second paragraph, you are right about one thing: he's an arrogant guy. He makes Bush look timid.

Remember folks, it's not racist if you call him Socialist, Marxist, terrorist, Muslim, Arab, or Kenyan. Well, maybe those last few are, but just don't use the n-word and you're OK. :thumbsup:

I explained about a month back why all this is happening. Let me paraphrase it here again:

Those of us with some degree of normally formed conscious awareness can't have helped but notice that many folk on the right seem to have lost their minds now that Obama is President.

Glen and Rush, are having full blown psychotic breaks. The amount of insanity, innuendo, vituperation, and vicious spite frothing up in thread after thread is specularly amazing. Even the 'anybody-but-Bush' madness of the left seems tame by comparison. Anyway, you either see this or you are likely one of those who is suffering from exactly that of which I speak. (Death threats are just more of the same.)

Now it's sad to see so many people living with such mental pain and I think, unconsciously I have been looking for some way to alleviate this agony. But how and to what can we ascribe the problem. Without knowing the disease we can't find a cure.

Well there I was washing the dishes, in my usual state of reverie, when all of a sudden it hit me.

The insane hate Obama because he isn't. Yes Yes Yes! That's it! He loves those poor bastards just like I do. He cares that they are mad and is trying to help them, to bring them to the light, to speak to them all the time with justice and fairness in his presentation, with intelligence and wisdom and reason and logic. That is why they hate him, he returns their hate with love, their insanity with sanity, their rage with calm understanding. He has compassion and understanding and does not condemn. He knows they are sick and can't help themselves because they are mentally ill. They are small and he is large. They despise him for the obvious contrast. He makes us aware that we are sick.

So now we know the symptoms and of course, I know the disease. It's that old self hate again. One of the signs of self hate that people seem never to notice is that it makes you feel as though you are not worth being loved. It's why we destroy relationships. Anybody who loves us, and we would do anything for love, then has to be cast off as a fool. Anybody who loves me must be a fool because I am no good. We want love and when we get it we turn it into shit. We test the love until we break it, so we can feel how bad we really feel.

So there it is............we hate Obama with all our guts and fury because he refused to tell us how worthless we are and treats us nicely like we were worthy, the stupid asshole. How unkind of him to makes us so mad. We would feel thousands of times better, I absolutely know for certain, if he's just get off his white horse and put us down. We're dying here, Mr. Pres, could you please do us a favor and use us for a toilet. We can't live shit free.

Well I guess poor Obama is not wise enough like me to understand the problem and thus he can't deliver the cure, but, naturally enough and again, good old Moonbeam can:

Your father is a syphilitic pimp, your mother is a whore. You have the brains of a donkey and you smell like shit. On the day you were born truth died and got stuffed up your ass, your coat has holes in the elbows, and your hair is falling out. Your ass is the size of an elephant, and your testicles though tiny are ten times the size of your brain. You are an idiot extraordinaire. You look into the left eye of your neighbor's wife and you have pimples on your nose. You are the worst piece of shit the world has ever seen.
==============

So there you have it again, my dear friends. If you want the respect of the right you have to call them the despicable scum they feel themselves to be. Only in this way will they feel you are honest. If you love the mentally ill they will crucify you. That is why it was a snap for Jesus to show us who we are and why his crucifixion was his mission. It is you who are on the cross living in hell. He gave his life to show you knowing full well you'd turn around and turn his religion into shit.

Considering what an arrogant dick GWB is and what a likable guy Obama is, I can't even believe these statistics are even accurate. There must be something else at play here.

It's almost like rightwingers are paranoid violent racists or something.

What in the article points to right wing vs left wing?

A working brain? He is a Democrat. You do the hate math.

Ah I see. You categorize based on political affiliation. Got it. If the right is partisan its because they are bitter and stupid, but if left wing hacks like you do it, its intelligent. Got it.

I'll go ahead and mark you in the low IQ pool then. Fair enough.

Were you dropped on your head or do you work hard at being so dense? Left wing loons are more likely to threaten the right. Right wing loons more likely to threaten the left. Obama is on the left so most threats probably come from the right. This is such a simple concept even you should be able to get it.

Sort of. When you feel like shit you act as if you are and your acting takes the course of your cultures norm. The south got put down for being racist slave holders and lost a war so culturally they are more sick in the race department. The left has a different modality.

Well this is interesting. It seems the Secret Service is not immune from the recession, and threats against Obama are up 400% from Bush according to this analyst. Read that again. This is an interesting two part article. The first, not so interesting, is that against rising threats against POTUS, the Secret Service isnt able to keep up. But more interesting, is the threat increase. Could it be Obama's outstretcdhed hand really is perceived as weakness? Could it be a war mongering POTUS may actually keep threats at bay? My opinion is the world sees Obama as soft. Of course, the Secret Service disagrees with this report (why wouldnt they?)

Could it be that the right is just a bunch of spoiled, whiny ass, sore losers who like to make threats when they don't get their way? As evidenced by this very thread??

Where is this pointing to the right? And where is the whining?

So you're claiming that the very people who elected Obama are now threatening to kill him? LOL and you can't notice any whining either, can you. :laugh:

? Im not claiming anything. Im asking questions, and you seem to be putting words into my mouth. Makes no difference to me :)

And Im not sure what whining has to do with thread. Democrats whined for 8+ years, now its the GOP's turn. *shrug Im OK with that. In the adult world we call it politics.

You've got a serious case of diarrhea posting going on.

Are they counting all the families of the dead and wounded people in Iraq who want to do a lot more to Bush than just throw a shoe or two?

You think they blame the man and not the nation? You think they would not do this to the current President?

Yep. Now that deaths are increasing monthly in Afghanastan, I wonder how many want to do the same thing to Obama for not bringing them home.

You want Mr Obama to generate a list of enemy countries and then threaten and invade them?
