Kill Obama: Remember What Farrakhan Said in 1988?

Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam stated in 1988 that if anyone harmed presidential candidate Jesse Jackson, "he would be the last one you kill." Well, that statement created a firestorm of controversy and racial hostility. Farrakhan's generic threat may have been the case of selling wolf tickets as oppose to a response to an attack against Rev. Jackson. However, those words in 1988 is very real in reference to Senator Barack Obama.

It was reported last night that a group of white supremest was arrested on suspicion of plotting to assassinate Barack Obama. The police found boxes of ammunition, high powered rifles, bullet proof vest, disguises and walkie-talkies. One of the men confessed to Denver police that his colleagues talked about killing Obama because "we can't have a nigger in the White House."

Well, responsible citizens are happy that these racist nuts were apprehended. The fear, however, is that there are more crazies out to do harm to the Senator. If this, God forbids, happens the United States will see a civil war that will make the Summer of 1919 and the race wars of the 1960s look like Sunday School picnics. Let us not make Minister Farrakhan words prophetic. Let's protect all of our candidates and leaders. We are a nation of laws and rights; not one of hate and violence.
