Of course the article has the fingerprints of Mark Potok from Southern Poverty Law Center all over it;<\/p>\n

“I don’t think these are simply people who are mentally ill or off their rocker,” Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, told ABC News of those behind the threats. “In a very real sense they represent a genuine reaction, a genuine backlash against Obama.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heh- SPLC’s Intelligence Project. It obviously needs more funding because I can’t find any intelligence at SPLC – especially in the project’s director.<\/p>\n

ABC takes up Potok’s scare mongering tone by recounting the swastika painted on the sign outside of Congressman David Scott’s office – without mentioning that Scott taunted his constituency and that the perpetrator hasn’t been found yet – so who can responsibly discuss the motivations yet given the large number of fake noose scares and swastika spraypaintings in recent years?<\/p>\n

Oh, and Rush Limbaugh said that the Obama White House logo<\/a> for the healthcare plan looks like a Nazi symbol. I don’t see it, except for wings over a circle. Sounds like blather to me;<\/p>\n

\"obama-healthcare-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"nazi-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I remember that the Left said Homeland Security sounded like a Nazi or a USSR nomenclature.<\/p>\n

Anyway, race-baiting, fear-monger Potok says we’re all racists;<\/p>\n

“I think the president has, in effect, triggered fears amongst fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country, that the battle is lost,” Potok told ABC News. “The nation that their Christian white forefathers created has somehow been taken from them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, that has to be it. The thing is the article has buried among the ads, on the second html page says the White House hasn’t noticed any increase in death threats, but they put that paragraph next to a photo of the jackass who took his handgun to a protest against the President;<\/p>\n

\"obama-death-threats2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So we should be worried about death threats on the President because Potok is the only guy in the whole country who thinks “right wing hate” is on the rise.<\/p>\n
