Why Obama needs protection

February 22, 2008

Dave at Orcinus monitors right-wing hate groups, eliminationist organizations, fascists, and proto-facists. He says the racist rhetoric is ramping up against Obama.

[T]he far right and its minions have been particularly ugly, including at least one explicit assassination threat, as well as an outpouring of racial bile in anonymous comments sections. As the likelihood of Obama capturing the Democratic nomination looms ever larger, these folks are apparently starting to ratchet the hate talk even higher. [ The Obama Haters ]

You can go to his site for a rundown of the veiled and un-veiled death threats. Meanwhile, Steve M. says some people think Obama has something to fear from the Clinton machine:

You know about the crazies who believe that the Clintons have their enemies killed. In case you were wondering whether these people now think the Clintons might extend this alleged practice to Barack Obama, the answer is yes. [ Yes, They're That Twisted ]

And for a source he quotes a Free Republic post, which says:

Now I also remember others who paid a price for standing in the path of the Clinton Political Borg. Vincent Foster knows what I am thinking. The Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas got in the Clinton’s way. Michelle and Barak Obama are now standing squarely in defiance to the ambitions of Bill and Hillary. I wonder if what I am thinking has ever crossed the minds of either Bill or Hillary? Maybe Hillary could try to blame the “Haters of the Right”, like Bill tried to do with the Oklahoma City bombing… but I suspect the Clinton fingerprints would be far too evident. [ Should Barak and Michelle Obama be worried?, you can follow Steve M.'s link if you like. ]

In otherwords, if someone — God forbid — should take a shot at Obama people will tell you it was a racially motivated assassination attempt, but we all know it’s the Clintons trying to add to the body count.

It’s more than a little disturbing when they have their cover story already in place.
