Assassination threats against Barack Obama. No white hate here. Move along.

61. The amount of visceral, white-hot hatred against this President is unbelievable...

But not so unbelievable, unfortunately, when you consider that this President is the first black man to hold an office that up until his election in 2008, was reserved (de facto) for white men.

The racists and bigots of this country can't stand the fact that a black man-who, just an aside, is more intelligent, more articulate, more knowledgeable, more family-oriented, more compassionate, and IMHO, more representative of where America is going (and thanks heavens for that!) than all of the lousy, pathetic racists and bigots in the country combined-they can't stand the fact that a black man has power and authority over the United States as President, and that a majority of voters elected him to represent ALL Americans-including the racists/bigots, whether they like it or not.

THAT is what is driving the hatred and furor against President Obama.
