A few days before election day 2008, Barack Obama said he was "four days away from fundamentally transforming America".
I am somewhat convinced this "transformation" has been with regards to a certain mindset.
The same mindset that believes Joe Biden's laugh'o'rama during the Veep debate was not obnoxious and condescending, is the same mindset that believes it's ok to assassinate Romney.
Affirmative action programs use racial, or occasionally gender, preferences to serve two main goals — to offset the effects of centuries of racial (or gender) injustice, and to increase diversity in a student population or work force. Proponents of affirmative action, which began during World War II, point to a legacy of tangible successes, including a revolution in recruiting and hiring. But it has caused persistent resentment and failed to eliminate poverty or racism and has been the subject of decades of litigation.

Honestly?
The only rioting will be taking place on the set of MSNBC.
My humble opinion.

I can explain you why there is no outcry about the recent threats. It's because it would be dangerous to broadcast such a message in the media. There is a lot of people out there that should not get the wrong ideas. I believe some people refers to them as ticking bombs. The reason the threats about Obama was taken so seriously was that it was a very public person making references to such an event. The message was being broadcasted in national media. Television even. It was had to be stopped with a counter-measure.
I'm not saying that this does not need to be stopped. I am pretty confident that Secret Service is doing all in their power to stop it. Because this is NOT free speech! Saying that somebody should be killed is not protected by free speech. Inciting violence towards individuals is illegal. But, because the message was not repeated by major networks, it would bring more damage than harm to handle this though the mass-media channels like in Obama's case. If you want to do something, report every tweet hinting about presidential assassinations.
