Obama Will Be Assassinated If He Becomes President.
Parts of America are too deep-down racist to tolerate a black president. They will not accept an "uppity" black man in charge. He will be assassinated. It might even happen before he gets the chance to become president because the Secret Service protection is not as strong around a candidate.

Possibly. It's always the fascists who are willing to resort to violence against the non-violent (e.g. Kennedy and Kennedy, MLK Jr.).

The rational and intelligent don't use assassination as a tactic. If they did, Reagan and both Bushes would be on coins by now.

Sad but true... Just because this is a new society and age doesn't mean that racist people don't exist.... Grow up guys realize that time hasn't healed all wounds.... This is the real world not a little barney program it happened once to a good president it can definitely happen now....

 Yes, racists do exists in America. The only way to take a step further in stopping racism(making it not so extreme it won't ever be fully stopped) is to give an African American a chance to lead this country. If he does a good/great job it will make America a better place to live. Look African American men and women have taken steps in bettering themselves for many yrs and there was always racists...yeah some died but they died fighting for what is right. Obama is trying to take this a step further and that is what America needs.

Wow, I've been wondering when this would show up. It certainly paints a bad picture for the US, but I agree with you. I also think the folks in the against column either didn't read your statement, or are living in a dream world.

Hidells "knowledge" of the world is laughable. Hidell and those who typically agree with Hidell regarding the social workings of this planet are a dime a dozen.

Many political leaders have been assassinated for many different reasons. Of course, Hidell and those who agree with Hidell will be the first to come up with reasons these leaders were assasinated that defy logic and any accepted reason. It's what they do. It's how their mind works.

Any world leader (for that matter - any popular figure) is a target. There are quite a few people on this planet. Many of them are twisted in the same ways as Hidell. They are angry. They are cynical. They lust for trouble.

Anyway, Obamas chances of being assassinated are about the same as everyone elses.

By the way, Americans have very little tolerance for racism. I don't know where some of you Europeans get your news (actually I do - I watch some of it and it's very ignorant in its world view while being very pompous in it's supposed refined grasp of the world view).

Only time will tell. I do agree that there are hateful factions and special interests who would take him out if they could. However, I also think he'll be the most closely protected President of the last century. His Secret Service detail will be top knotch.

And frankly any fraction that would assassinate him and get caught would face a mighty world of hurt. If the KKK or Aryan Nation did it they would be genuinely surprised at the upwelling of anger across the world as well as across the vast majority of people in this country. I think there would be open house on assaulting and killing white supremacists if they got caught for an assassination. It would probably be the single most stupid sociopolitical move they could ever do. Their voice opinion may be tolerated by many in the name of free speech but an action that severe and against such a popular electee would be crossing a line they'd be foolish to cross.

I pray that no sick minded racist gets anywhere near OUR next president.

 Sorry. Your response (was) very racial and narrow.

Just have to hire someone to taste test his Kool-Aid before he drinks it. That's right ladies and gentlemen. That is what's known as a "black joke". Good fun, but seriously presidents are murdered because of their policies. I don't think the KKK or any other black-hating organization has the resources to successfully kill Obama.

I just have to say:
*KNOCK ON WOOD*
People just released bad vibes into the world :\
Anyhoo, I really don't think (or I hope) that there aren't as many racists as there once were. I mean, he won the Democratic Iowa Caucus

It would be almost impossible to assassinate someone in this day and age. He's even said that if he gets elected, he knows there will be racial tension, so he's planning on having extra protection.

Look if we as a free country can grow up and get over racism then we aren't better ourselves as a nation. I don't feel that he will be assassinated. I think that if an African American male is elected we have made a giant step for man kind. People need to agree with views of a person and not discriminate b/c the person is a different race.

If Bush hasn't been assassinated yet, Obama will never die during his presidency by assassination.

Even if he is African American, he is a good guy, and he cares for lots of people, so he should not be assassinated. I also think that politics will not be connected with black society if Obama becomes president.

No. That's just crazy! We are in modern times with security and technology to protect the president.

 Anybody can get whacked, especially because of our technology.... believe me, this debate is already being looked at by the FBI or CIA, just because of the topic.

 Both Doris Lessing, the Nobel prize-winning writer, and Bernard Rogers, the black American boxer, recently stated their belief that Obama would he whacked if he became president.

It's ludicrous to think that he'll be assassinated, that certainly isn't a reason he shouldn't be elected (there are plenty of other reasons for that, none having to do with his skin color).

He shouldn't be assassinated, why because he's black. You shouldn't be treated by it.

Now i don't agree with his political views but him being assassinated would be wrong, and very doubtful of happening
