If he gets hurt, it will be from the Clinton Camp.

He will certainly be safe with the NYT, once he gets the nomination.

The Obama Camp has been pushing this story in the blogosphere. Figures the NYT would try to give it legs.

This has the making of one of the most tumultuous political campaigns in American history. Aside from the issue of Obama’s safety, I think there is a real danger of unrest should Obama, as is likely, be defeated in November.

I’m so sick of hearing this crap. Why don’t they just come out and say that they think Americans are a bunch of racists. If you don’t support Barak Hussien you must be a racist.

If something happens to Obama it will be from the Clinton camp who will be sure to make it look like the work of a “right wing radical.”

Gimme a frickin break.

This is another attempt to idolize Obama as a mythical martyr type ‘cult of personality’ candidate.

NYT mindgame.

To understand how absurd it is .... try ...

There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Senator Joe Biden, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will he be safe?

There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Mike Huckabee, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will he be safe?

... or how about ...

There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Barack Obama, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will his youthful drug use and secret smoking habit kill him in office?

There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Barack Obama, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will terrorists use the opportunity to blow up a nuclear bomb in a US city when he is in office?

These questions are at least as reasonable as the question the NYT poses.

Just remember that a grieving widow makes for a sympathy vote as well. I went to see the Impeached One in a rally and there was VERY lax security. It was a little unnerving....

He seems to have achieved martyrdom before he became a martyr...
Is this new age or what ?

I thought the article was going to be about the worry that the doofus will start getting specific about his Podunk version of Communism, and the Dems will lose big.

Good morning.
“If he gets hurt, it will be from the Clinton Camp.”

It would be more likely to come from his own socialist handlers. Osama Obama is far more useful to them as a martyr than alive.
