Assange feels threatened by Biden, Palin By Michael O'Brien - 01/30/11 07:00 PM ET

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Sunday he feels targeted by the likes of Vice President Biden and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).

Assange, the man who's taken responsibility for the leak and publication of sensitive U.S. documents and diplomatic cables, said he feels like he's being threatened with death.

"The statements by the vice-president Biden saying, for instance that I was a high-tech terrorist. Sarah Palin calling to our organization to be dealt with like the Taliban, and be hunted down," Assange said of the perceived threats, in an interview airing tonight on CBS. "There's calls either for my assassination or the assassination of my staff or for us to be kidnapped and renditioned back to the United States to be executed."

The wide-ranging interview with Assange was taped at the estate at which he's under house arrest in Great Britain. Most specifically, he said he feared that the tough talk by U.S. political leaders would lead someone to attempt to assassinate him.

"I would like to believe that, on the other hand. the incitements to murder are a serious issue," he said. "And unfortunately, there is a portion of the population that will believe in them and may carry them out."

I get his being scared by the gov...she’s more man than he’ll ever have and more woman than he’ll ever be. But Biden? Joe’s an idiot.

“I would like to believe that, on the other hand. the incitements to murder are a serious issue,” he said. “And unfortunately, there is a portion of the population that will believe in them and may carry them out.”

A lot of whining from a guy who scoffed at the notion that releasing the names of covert operatives would endanger their lives.

Nice to know that SeeBS is giving him a forum to air his concerns and threats.

Gee, I wonder who brought up the topic of Sarah Palin in this interview?

“Joe’s an idiot.”

He plays the idiot well, but that’s the guy you should be most worried about.

Gee. I believe his releases have led to the wholesale collapse of governments in North Africa over the last two weeks.

Mean words from Palin and Biden are about the least of his worries. At the moment, what's left of the Tunisian and Egyptian Armies and their intelligence services are probably planning to do far worse than say mean things about him.

In human history, when the miseries of millions who fell under the control of troglodyte Muslims in 2011 is read, his name will figure prominently.

We can only imagine what history will say about his fate.

Shouldn’t he be afraid of the POTUS??? Not so much of the VP or ex-gov of a state?

But, he isn’t afraid of Obama. Strange guy. Yeah, Obama comes across as a wuss, but anyone who would vote to let a baby die on an operating table without any comfort, is a very very dangerous person.

You do not have to play the idiot when you are the idiot.

If he’s afraid of Biden and Palin what does that tell you about Obama?
