Simply because Obama is black, from the time he secured the nomination I've been thinking he has the highest chance of any modern president of being assassinated. That was about the time I saw a photo of a t-shirt of a machine gun toting man. The back of the shirt said something like, "If your vote from the ballot box doesn't work it is time to vote from the rooftop." As the election gets closer all sorts of hidden bigotry bubbles to the surface.
Since McCain and Palin don't have any new ideas on the economy (and McCain has said that if he focuses on the economy he'll lose) they are aiming for dragging Obama through the mud. This includes calling Obama a terrorist. They are stirring up the base quite well, including those who are willing to take their own kind of action. A man even shouted out "Kill him!" at a Palin rally and the candidate said nothing. Is she purposely inciting violence? At the very least McCain and Palin are condoning it.
Blacks and gays know what happens when certain people are stirred up as Palin seems to be doing. Blacks and gays usually end up dead with the perpetrator describing how he was inspired to make America safer.
At what point does this talk require an investigation by the Secret Service?
Obama assassinated? The odds are not in his favor.
