More Barack Obama Death Threats

Alex Pickett blogs about of conservatives publicly wishing that Barack Obama be killed. I seriously doubt that the McCain campaign truly believes that Obama is a covert Muslim terrorist. McCain senior campaign strategist Steve Schmidt is using the Southern strategy. Richard Nixon strategist Kevin Phillips explained the campaign strategy to the New York Times.

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.

These threats have put the Secret Service into overdrive.

LUFKIN, Tex. - A woman is still upset over a surprise visit she received from the U.S. Secret Service a few weeks ago, who investigated alleged remarks that were made about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama "ending up dead on a hospital floor."

Two secret Service agents arrived at the home of Jessica Hughes about two weeks ago, inquiring about the remarks. Apparently, Hughes had been contacted by an Obama campaign staffer over the phone -- which led to a verbal disagreement.

The staffer claims that Hughes said, "I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor."

John McCain backed away from his race-baiting attacks after his polling negatives went up. If McCain really put country first, he would have never unleashed attacks that attempted to link Obama to terrorism and Britney Spears. What terrorism has to do with Spears is beyond me.
