Scary Op-Ed by Dave Emory Re: Possible Threats Against Obama.
Has anybody seen this yet?

"EXCERPT: Fighter jets inter cepted a private plane near Camp David on Sunday, the third civilian plane this weekend to fly the restricted air space while President Barack Obama was at the Maryland retreat.

In all three cases, the planes were met by F-15 fighter jets and landed with out incident at nearby air ports, North American Aero space Defense Command spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Bill Lewis told Reuters.

Following two incidents on Saturday, a Cessna 182 that was out of radio communication was intercepted on Sunday morning by two fighter jets.

The plane landed at the Carroll County Regional Airport in Maryland. Lewis did not know if the plane was met by law enforcement but said that typically occurs in such cases.

The incident marked the fifth time in a month that fighter jets have scram bled to guide civilian planes away from the area while Obama was at the presidential retreat. . . .

COMMENT: Also reminiscent of the Clinton years is the cascade of violent, openly seditious rhetoric being dispensed by the GOP and its right-wing allies.

The News Max site recently featured an editorial calling–in effect–for a military coup to over throw Obama. This recalls Sena­tor Jesse Helms’ statement that Clinton would be in danger if he visited military bases in North Carolina."

Any thoughts on this?

1. Thoughts: The GOP, the "Tea Party," and other right-wing scum
are treasonous bastards who would celebrate wildly if anything untoward happened to President Obama. I believe this to be absolutely true.

4. The Only Real, Credible Threat is losing the election entirely.
a Primary Challenge would be nice, to put a real Democrat in the White House, but it's not in the cards.
