If Obama gets elected, will there be white supremecist protesters at his inauguration?
Seeing as there were massive protests at both of *'s swearing ins (although he deserved them), do you think there will be Klansmen, Stormfronters, or just Republicans in general there with signs that say "It's called the WHITE House for a reason" and the like if Obama wins? I don't think that sort of thing would happen nowadays, but with the God Hates Fags crowd and the general "destroy anyone who is different" attitude of conservatives these days, who knows?

3. There won't be many who are willing to show their true colors,
bigotry and cowardice being parts of the same character flaw.

9. Yes. There are lot of them out there (and here in PA). If he is the nominee,
the conservatives will start their bigotry. The RNC may fund them directly, but more likely 527's and other conservative groups will lead the charge for the republicans.

who is President. Their credo is to love our country and fear our government. Their ultimate end is to overthrow our government by military means and install their own dictator. Anyone who gets elected to President is their enemy. They don't liked Bush or those who came before him because as far as they are concerned they are corrupt and not Aryan enough for them. Now the Westboro Church crowd is completely different. Who knows which way they will swing.
