Better Get Used To This

I know this involves a politician,but I am putting it on here because it really is about assassination. If he is elected,some racist nut will kill him. I really feel that,and hope to God that I am wrong.

(CNN) "? A man is being held in Florida on charges he threatened to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, according to court documents.

An affidavit filed by a Secret Service agent in U.S. District Court claims that Raymond Hunter Geisel, of Marathon, Florida, threatened to "kill, kidnap and cause bodily harm upon a major candidate for president of the United States, that is, Senator Barack Obama."

The affidavit says Geisel made the threats while attending a bail bondsman training class in Miami.

During an interview with the Secret Service, Geisel denied threatening Obama, but told agents that "if he wanted to kill Senator Obama he would simply shoot him with a sniper rifle."

He later said that comment was a joke, the agent said in the document.

I do agree that because of his race/color alone, much more of this is to be expected. If he's elected, it's going to be interesting to see exactly how many of these threats come out of the woodworks. To be honest, I'm surprised at just how few of them there have been.. or at least how few of them we've heard about.

Just saying what everybody else is feeling.

If somebody doesn't try to because of his race then it'll be because of his suspected religion. I strongly dislike Obama but wouldn't want this to happen to him.
