Not everyone views Obama as a Change to Believe in


A sign posted on a tree in Vay, Idaho, with Obama's name all over it, offers a "free public hanging."

In North Carolina, there is threatening racist graffiti all about Obama in a tunnel close to the North Carolina State University campus.

In a convenience store in a Maine, an AP reporter saw a sign asking customers to join a betting pool on when Obama might be assassinated. The "The Osama Obama Shotgun Pool," had a $1 buy in and if you got close to the date you would win. At the end of the sign it said, "Let's hope we have a winner".

And this one got to me: One of the most popular white supremacist Web sites got more than 2,000 new members the day after the election, compared with 91 new members on Election Day, according to an AP count.

The site, stormfront.org, was temporarily off-line Nov. 5 because of the overwhelming amount of activity it received after Election Day. On Saturday, one Stormfront poster, identified as Dalderian Germanicus, of North Las Vegas, said, "I want the SOB laid out in a box to see how 'messiahs' come to rest. God has abandoned us, this country is doomed."


Sad...this is our "great" country.

I know, there are a lot of closet racists still out there. My father is one of them.

The thing is I don't understand it at all. Maybe it's my education. Maybe it's my atheism, who knows.

When I meet someone their race doesn't enter into it. But I will say this, all races have their good people, their bad people, and their assholes.

Fortunately the good seem to outnumber the bad and asshole by a large margin.

It was bound to occur. Hate is real and it is out there, festering under rocks and stinking up the place.
