I found a very interesting article about the Obama assassination plot. I am by no means a democrat supporter, I am in fact a heavy conserbative supporter, which you may of noticed by the articles in support of John Mccain earlier on this year. Below is this article;
Colorado is one of several states nationwide where a few motorcycle clubs engage in drug running with some members adopting White supremacist or neonazi ideology. The regions where this is more common include the Rocky Mountain States, the Western Midwest, the Pacific Coast, the Southeast, and New England.
Turf-related murders or revenge killings do occur within such groups, however, since this is primarily an illegal commercial enterprise, rather than an ideological mission, it would be very unusual for participants in such a criminal network to want to call attention to themselves by carrying out the political assassination of a major public figure such as Barack Obama.
In barroom bluster or heated arguments within such subcultures, hyperbolic threats would be a common occurrence, but seldom resulting in actual acts of violence. Police informer reporting of such threats needs to be investigated, but placed in the proper context.
What really scares me is that right-wing talk show hosts and other media scaremongers are creating a hyperbolic rhetorical environment in which credible threats are likely to be generated.
Indeed, the frames through which scaremongers demonize Obama as a political candidate are by now fairly well drawn and generally familiar:
1) Christian Right — Obama is part of the End Times Antichrist attack on true Christians
2) Ultra-conservatives — Obama will destroy America through affirmative action, gay rights, abortion, and big government collectivism
3) White Supremacists — Obama will mongrelize America and subjugate White Americans.
To me this is the real uncovered media story. The threat posed by the men taken into custody in Colorado has, it seems, been relieved. It is much more difficult, however, to address the larger and ongoing threat posed by an established culture of fear-mongering antipathy.
This is an article from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
Lets go into those last three points;
- As I have writen before, there is great fear that Barack is in fact a Muslim, this is not a confirmed fact, but he does attend a Church that you need to be black to attend - http://www.tucc.org/about.htm - I found the opening page on the website shocking and have attached an extract from it below;
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.”
Note how many times the word black appears, nevermind the fact that the congregation is American. No where does it mention anything about America - its all about black people and slavery and Africa, is it not right to say that the aim of Christianity is to love everyone? not just a specific race?
- As Christian we should not stand and support those who are willing to support the horrors of murdering un-born children - aboortion and people who support gay / homosexual rights. For those who are South Africans, especially younger white South Africans, you will be able to back me up when I say that Affirmative Action is a disaster.
- The last point, being the weakist point of all does not stand for all that much. This has happened in many societies where there has been a change in the race of leadership - we do not need to look futhure than South Africa and our neighbouring country - Zimbabwe.
