Let's face it, conservatives are more likely to cling to their guns, believe that violence solves problems, and harbor anti-black sentiment. The end result: more death threats against Obama than any other U.S. president. This is clearly another instance when the "You guys were just the same when Dubya was in office!" argument against Democrats and liberals does not hold water.
Something is very wrong with a minority of Americans who call themselves Republicans. And if and when some conservative nut does succeed in shooting Obama, or committing some terror act on home soil, his brothers-in-arms will take zero personal responsibility for encouraging this climate of paranoia, hatred, and violent revenge. Just like they shirked all responsibility after conservative militia/gun nuts McVeigh and Nichols killed 168 Americans and wounded more than 680.
I remember, because back then I was one of those wingnut deniers, I'm ashamed to admit.
