Now Get This

Last week a Virginia man murdered his wife and two sons before killing himself, reportedly out of fear that President Obama might be re-elected. As a family friend told the Daily Mail, "[Albert Peterson] felt that our God-given rights were being taken away... He didn't like where the country was going." Peterson had a history of mental illness and he had been behaving erratically leading up the murders. Clearly, this is the tragic case of a very disturbed individual. But it's worth nothing that his delusional anti-Obama narrative is legitimized over the airwaves every single day at Fox so-called News and other right-wing outlets in a desperate attempt to make the President out to be a dangerous "other." Claims that Obama is a Muslim, or a socialist, or a bigger threat than Hitler have little effect on clear-minded individuals who write off such notions as absurd. But when those words fall on to the ears of the disturbed, bad things can happen.

I make obama out to be a very dangerous man in his position.
However , it does not warrant the killing of yourself and family.
I do believe that some radical people will make waves if he wins. People are tired of the lies and entitlements given to non deserving aliens . We can't afford this any longer.
People are tired of supporting African Americans who refuse to work. We are fed up with this crap.

What is a deserving alien?

People are not tired of supporting anything other than AA's that refuse to work?

I know what you meant but how many million can't find a job?

Oh, I think this had more to do with it:

Peterson had a history of mental illness and he had been behaving erratically leading up the murders.

I suppose that by "clear minded individuals" you mean "obama supporters". ANY "clear minded individuals" would CLEARLY see that In the USA, the "land of the free", American citizens are REGULARLY 'detained' (NOT arrested) and held indefinitely WITHOUT CHARGES, to be "evaluated" by you know who. We are searched without warrant, our property confiscated without charges or trial, and we are monitored in every way possible. The Bill of Rights has become almost meaningless as we are told that "terrorists" are on every corner and we MUST give up our rights in order to be "safe". Innocent citizens are REGULARLY (i.e., New York's "stop & frisk") stopped by armed agents of the government to see IF they are doing anything wrong. Really? Yes. Really. These are FACTS. What part of them do "clear minded individuals" not see? Smug, self serving criticism of those who DO actually see these events and recognize them as police state actions only make people like you (clear minded individuals, of course) look like you've been asleep for 20 years, woke up yesterday, and are have a hard time paying attention. Its not too late to start, though.
