The Daily Escalating Hate Toward President Obama Is A Serious Threat To Him

If really fear for the safety of POTUS because the RW is now over the shark and by their "code" are calling for more than election. Every day they escalate their open hatred of Obama. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe we ever saw such open public rhetoric towards Bush on MSM outlets or so out in the open on the public forums.

What is going on is not healthy for the election cycle. It is turning into a a scorched earth campaign. I do not see how we can ever come together in any way after such and election cycle.

when I was young I heard there were pockets of America where Jack Kennedy was hated with a white hot passion.

What bothers me most is all the hate talk that gets more mean, racist and vicious every day. The RW is putting out of lot of absolutely hysterical rhetoric.

I am 68. I remember the day Kennedy was shot. I had even seen him in person when his motorcade drove by our Junior College in early 1963.

The Kochs father who started the John Birch Society had put out a very hateful pamphlet with all the same charges we hear against Obama today shortly before Kennedy went to Dallas. Kennedy was hated by the RW as much as Obama is hated.

I sensed the hate but did not really understand how deep it was. Kennedy supported civil rights. I feel the same atmosphere today as back then.
