Racial Incidents and Threats Against Obama Soar: Here Is a Chronicle

Since election day, the number of threats against the president-elect, and racial or violent incidents directed at his supporters, have soared. The Secret Service is concerned, calling it the highest number of threats against a President-elect in memory, but the national media until this weekend have largely ignored the disturbing pattern. ...

examples:

:redbox: Parents in Rexburg, Idaho, contacted school officials this week after they learned that 2nd and 3rd graders on a school bus were chanting, "Assassinate Obama!"

:redbox: In a Maine convenience store, an Associated Press reporter saw a sign inviting customers to join a betting pool on when Obama might fall victim to an assassin. The sign solicited $1 entries into "The Osama Obama Shotgun Pool," saying the money would go to the person picking the date closest to when Obama was attacked. "Let's hope we have a winner."

:redbox: A popular white supremacist Web site,... stormfront.org, was temporarily off-line on Nov. 5 because of the overwhelming amount of activity it received. One poster, identified as Dalderian Germanicus, of North Las Vegas, said, "I want the SOB laid out in a box to see how 'messiahs' come to rest."

:redbox: At Appalachian State University, the administration has expressed disappointment at the numerous times black students have expressed being harassed in residence halls since the election. The Appalachian, a student newspaper serving the university, also reported conversations suggesting Obama may not be alive in 2009 and a t-shirt seen around campus that reads "Obama '08, Biden '09."

So... I guess that it's 2 steps forward, and 1 step back.

1. A slight ray of sunshine on that note

I was standing in line at 7:00 AM to vote at our polling place located on a country road in South Mississippi. The line was out the door and into the parking lot near the road. A school bus drove by and we could hear the shouts of little voices - VOTE FOR OBAMA.

2. I don't expect that the parents of the pro-Obama kids would have taught them to murder McCain

and THAT's the difference between Republicans and Democrats
