Timothy McVeigh? He's about as white as they come.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I don't disagree that they weren't a threat. But when Obama actually takes office, and if/when he starts pissing people off, the threats will become much more significant. You'll see more organization, more planning, more funding. More threat.

The chances he'll actually be assassinated are pretty stinking slim, but it's still awfully high chances compared to previous presidents.

But see, that's already happened.  He pissed them off by just running for president, but he REALLY pissed them off when he actually got ELECTED.  I doubt that taking the oath of office is going to get them much madder, I don't think most people cross a big mental line there.  Although that would be one of the places I would be on extra super high alert if I was the Secret Service because it's a natural symbolic place for them to try and kill him before he actually assumes office.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

i'm not sure racial profiling is a bad thing , it's a very utilitarian approach but then maybe a neccasery approach. if some members of racial group A are pretty much the only threat to individual x then why not asume that all of racial group A are potential threats , it's not very practical I admit but if individual X is of great importance then it may be a lesser of two evils ( the greater evil being allowing the death of the president) .

It's not even a matter of lesser of to evils. I don't think in the history of the world, a white woman has highjacked a plain, I doubt a white man has.

So, if you want to stop people from hijacking plains, you might want to limit your search to anyone that would.

If we focus solely on Arabic or African people, the terrorist groups will simply adapt. Will see more John Walker Lindhs or David Hicks. 

 

Ok, so they adapt. Then we adapt. Until then, we would be wasting out time (I say would be, because we do profile).

Then we are profiling white, Arabic, and African people. We are in the same situation we are currently in. We need to train airport security and personnel to focus on behavior and not appearance. It is a more effective tool to prevent terrorism. 

 



The issue with Obama isn't that he's black. It's that he's partially black, and communist. He wants to impose radical anti-American (as it's percieved by some) ideals into government policy.

For that, he may get shot. I've heard rumblings about his security staff that aren't good. I don't want him to get assassinated because it'll just make America look foolish.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Is your opinion or the perceived opinion of him ?

The fact that people are putting all racists into the same group is, in itself, very prejudice.



Since when did socialist leanings equal communism? I thought I had politics generally figured out...

 Since corporations started spreading their propaganda to keep their $$ from being taken away by tax men.

It's basically corporate-America exploiting strong American patriotism (mainly due to the cold war. Thank you, Soviet Russia, you've been a blast, next time, we'll have dinner at your expense, yeah?).

I am ok with that. What happens then, when do to behavior, all that they ever check are brown people?

That will never happen. There are enough prospective terrorists from specifically North Africa, certain segments of East Africa and West Africa, and Asia that we will never check solely "brown" people. Even if this were to occur, we could be certain that we used methods that target people for their actions and not their looks.
