Noticed I didn't make this a Dem vs Republican issue it's wrong no matter who is doing- if this was a Dem praying for the death of a Republican is equally sickening Originally Posted by wellendowed1911What I don't get is why these people get so flustered with a president that they would want them dead and buried. Wish for impeachment, wish for a scandalous resignation, but why death?

Oh, but you did when. You put Obama's name in the title and wrote this:Again point out where I said this would never happened to a Republican President- if this was happening on Bush's watch I would say the same thing- you have never heard me say anything to the affect that Dems are angels and will never do anything this disgusting- if you don't believe me several months ago I had a thread stating that protesters in Wisconsin were going too far by having signs that had a noose around the Republican Governor's neck- some had crosshairs- of all that is equally wrong. So perhaps Rick Santorum can learn a lesson from me when something is wrong it's flat out wrong- remember the Gay solidier who was being booed while Santorum was speaking during a debate and Santorum "claimed" he didn't hear the boos???? This is the same Santorum who claimed he said "blah" people instead of "black" people- I actually have given up- I search wiki- Britannica and still can't find a race of people called "blah" people if you know where they live I B I would sure like to read up on the history of "Blah" people.
By 'the president' you mean 'this president'.
You are correct when you say it shouldn’t happen to any president, but that doesn’t negate the fact that it did happen to Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and JFK. They all died. They were victims of someone else's social agenda. Reagan was also shot, and FDR and Ford were nearly assassinated. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

It did happen to Bush. It's happened to many, if not most, U.S. presidents. You persist in believing Obama is being treated worse than any previous president. That is simply not true. LBJ, Nixon, Lincoln and Garfield were treated very badly while in office. Lincoln and Garfield died because of aroused, partisan animosity. McKinley was killed because he had wealth. JFK was killed because of his stance against communism.

No one can control what a crazed wacko will do to any President. I am almost certain every President has had death threats- but it's a whole new ball game when you have ELECTED officials praying for the Death of the POTUS.
