| Lurid Moonbat Fantasy #48: the Assasination of Barak Obama |
| 2008-02-26 |
| Tim Blair An expert predicts: Barack Obama will be assassinated within months if he wins the US presidential election, world champion boxer Bernard Hopkins fears. Mr Hopkins, known as The Executioner, earns his living getting hit in the head. He joins Doris Lessing ("The Bookinator"), Earl MacRae ("The Unknown Canadian"), Phillip Adams ("The New York Review of Books Subscriber"), Joseph Palermo ("The Assistant Professor"), Fifty Cent ("The Crack Dealer") and Francisco Martin Moreno ("El Chupa Grande Lucha Loco Aguila Sonambulo"*) in the Obama Death Club. Does anyone else find it creepy that some of Obama's supporters are fantasizing about his assassination. You almost get the sense they'll be disappointed if their prediction turns out wrong. (With supporters like these, who needs enemies?) *BabelFish translates this as "Great Chupa Crazy Fight Sonambulo Eagle." Go figure. |

| #15 "If he wins the US presidential nomination" > IMO, Radical Islam's priority now is to milpol [read - militarily]stop the US entrenchment in Iraq-ME. THEY NEED A DECISIVE, NEAR-TERM SIGNIFICANT MIL BATTLEFIELD VICTORY AGZ THE "GREAT SATANS" USA ANDOR ISRAEL PER SE, AGZ ONE OR BOTH. Such a victory agz the IA or US Allies [read - BRITAIN] may not be enuff to induce a unilater US withdrawal in Iraq-AFghani and give inspiration for World Islamism to continue its fight. THE USA IS THE BIG CHEESE IN THE ME AND WIPING OUT SMALLER ALLIED MILFORS MAY NOT INDUCE THE USA INTO ACKNOWLEDGED DEFEAT AND UNILATER WITHDRAWAL, NOR EXCITE THE MUSLIM WORLD TO JOIN ISLAMISM'S FIGHT. The most dangerous time for an AMER HIROSHIMA(S) to take place is now thru Year 2010 [sooner the better vv stopping US entrenchment], and will likely be a MASS DECAPITATION STRIKE agz the whole of the US GOP-DEM NPE, or in the altern AMAP within the USNPE. TO DESTROY ONLY ONE OR TWO US POLS ["lone nut"] ISN'T GONNA STOP US ENTRENCHMENT - CAN DELAY, BUT WON'T STOP IT. Remember now, HILLARY'S DEMOCRAT CRITICS > many overtly argue HILLARY suppor Dubya's policies including IRAQI FREEDOM. HENCE, RADICAL ISLAM > for Radical Islamism or any US "lone nut" to de facto kill OBAMA may not achieve anything vv larger Radical Islamist ME agenda. REGIONAL-GLOBAL US ENTRENCHMENT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED COLD AND KILLING OBAMA ALONE ISN'T GONNA DO IT. |

| #14 #11 DoDo: You're right, except that many of Obama's followers already treat him as the next messiah. Note how many fans have "swooned" or passed out at his speeches recently (of course, I think it's staged, but that's another argument). IOW, he's ALREADY a quasi-martyr to them, in the god-like/Beetlemania sense. But, even level-headed blacks I know who don't even like him, still believe he'll be assassinated by whites within months of taking office. I always try to point out that he's lucky he's made it this far against Hillary, but it fails to register with them. |

| #13 Some people worked themselves into a corner (hint: it isn't conservatives who insist on treating "African Americans" as children) and hope that their enemies will save them? |

| #12 A lot of the craziness of the Sixties can be marked up to the cognitive dissonance of a liberal icon being murdered by a card-carrying communist. In that sense, an Islamist assassination of a President Obama would be a shocking parallel. Assuming the victims of said cognitive dissonance ever make the connection. |

| #11 Kennedy was elevated to martyrdom by his assassination. There is a romantic view of his presidency defined by what might have been rather than what was. To get another Kennedy, they need another martyr. |

| #10 They'd kill for a martyr. |

| #9 Violent coups and chaos - is that what we want for this country? No? Then STFU. I remember when Kennedy was shot and this country went through hell. Any time the leader of a country is assassinated a period of instability will follow and, no matter what you thought of his policies, you might not like the results. |

| #8 Hopkins: Hillary seems the best person for the job...she has the experience - she has already been a president for eight years Well then she is not eligible to run again, now is she? |

| #7 It does say something about you Mitch because the bulk of the Death Club members assume the assassin will be a Racist American, not an Islamic fanatic. In fact I would go so far as to say that most of the Death Club members don't think Islam is a problem at all, but a boogey-man propped up by Bush. On the other hand the reaction from Muslim states seems to indicate they don't consider him an apostate but instead as one of them. Muslims tend to be very conspiracy minded and no doubt they believe he's pulling a fast one on the Americans in order to get a Muslim in the White House. |

| #6 One gets the feeling an Obama supporter will take the initiative themselves if the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy doesn't give them the tragedy they seem to want. Ugh. |

| #5 Does it say anything about me? Because I'm convinced that if he's elected, at least a few Islamists will take a swing at him. He's an apostate, for the love of Mike. Of course he'll be an assassination target. On the other hand, I'll be voting for Clinton and McCain respectively when the time comes, so maybe it's just Obama supporters who are to be considered nuts for observing the obvious? |

| #4 The Death club is so invested in the idea of a racist America it is the only way they can rationalize Obama's overwhelming support. That is the racists are quiet and will take him down they think. This says more about the Death Club members than it does about Obama or America. |

| #2 Hopkins: Hillary seems the best person for the job...she has the experience - she has already been a president for eight years Snicker. Bernard was punched in the head too many times. |
