US law agencies fear racist attack on Obama

Monday 11th August, 2008
American law enforcement agencies have expressed fear that US presidential candidate Barack Obama will be the target of a violent attack by white supremacists at the Democratic convention in Denver this month.
The concern for Obama's security is because of racist threats made against him by neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups, since the Senator for Illinois emerged as the likely Democratic presidential candidate.
Railton Loy, Grand Wizard of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan International, in an interview on Fox News said: "I'm not going to have to worry about him, because somebody else down south is going to take him out."
He said: "If that man is elected president, he'll be shot sure as hell. The hate would be so deep down south."
John Hickenlooper, the Democrat Mayor of Denver, confirmed that he was aware of threats against Obama from white supremacists and other racist groups.
He added that the Denver Police Department was working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service.
The federal government is providing Denver and St Paul, Minnesota, where the Republicans are staging their convention at the start of next month, with 50 million dollars each to cover the security costs of staging the conventions.
The Denver Police Department will nearly double in size, bringing in an additional 1,500 police officers from communities throughout Colorado and beyond.
National Guard specialists trained to deal with biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological weapons will also be available.
Obama was placed under Secret Service protection in May 2007, the earliest ever for a candidate for the presidency.  Email this story to a friend

Competition Beware
As much as most of us who want to see Obama go all the way, in the back of my mind, I’m struggling with not being so naive, as to to think that we do not have people in this country who harbor so much hate towards people of color, and are willing to either commit the crime of have someone else do it for them. Must not we foget what happen to Abraham, Martin and John; which takes this to a reality that it doesn’t always have to be about extremist or the supremist who wants to take someone out of the picture.

YEA! Obama should beware, because
they have already arrested one guy
for wanting to kill him. And George
Bush also.
Obama got scared and went to Hawaii.
And Bush went to China.

GO OBAMA!
I wish we all had his kind of love for our country and the will power to fight against the ones who were only taught hate for ones that were not just like ourselves.

By the way the new target number went down to $200k per Obama and $150k per Biden!
As far as Dictators go Obama wants to create another federal law enforcement division equal to the power and funding of the US military.
Now I don’t know about you but his exact words of a national civilian security force is pretty chilling to any free thinking American and smacks of brown shirts arm bands and jackboots!
Couple this with his absolute stance of booting reporters fom his airplane because their papers endoresed McCain or his tantrum over the Florida station asking Joe Biden tough questions and you have the very definition of tyranny.
Of course he spins the stories but we all know he can’t take criticism.
