Default Re: Many blacks worry about Obama's safety

I'm more surprised that Bush HASN'T been shot by some whacko than I would be at Obama getting shot...

If you've ever read blog comments from places like the Huffington Post, AirAmerica and KosDaily you'll find multiple instances of people wishing death, mocking assaults and even saddened by the lack of death in at least one instance(Cheney in Pakistan last year)...

Apparently, saying "I don't want a black guy in office" is shunned (as should be), but wanting a president dead based simply on political beliefs is A-OK..
