Reality Bytes and Pieces

Do a quick search of Google and see what happens when you search for “Obama + Assassination” and you’ll see plenty of news outlets and commentators wondering if racists and radicals will attempt to assassinate the man who would become America’s first black President.

Done that? Sickening, isn’t it? But it makes for great headlines and lots of traffic to news outlets’ websites. What’s the purpose? Why isn’t anyone asking if some nutjob anti-abortion activist will try to rub-out Hillary because she’s pro-abortion? How about considering an attempt on John McCain’s life by an anti-war wingnut who hates him for insisting we stay the course in Iraq until victory is achieved? Nope. Not gonna find that anywhere.

The big media ratings and heavy website traffic are almost guaranteed by promoting hypothetical scenarios that harp on racial tensions across America and those mysterious groups of hate mongers like the Ku Klux Klan and Neo-Nazis who just might take a shot at Obama … but, then again, they might not because, if they did, they’d pretty much guarantee their organizations would be destroyed by all of the power of our nation’s federal law enforcement and judicial system. That doesn’t make for a successful business plan enabling them to continue their “business as usual.”

Let’s get back to the big picture of the media “pimping” this assassination idea to potential extremist hate-mongers, because that’s exactly what they’re doing. In an article that appeared on Feb. 9, a Nobel Laureate from overseas casually states, “They would murder [Obama].”

A much older report that ran on a television network’s news program shows a Ku Klux Klan head-honcho practically promising the assassination of Obama. In my opinion as a former journalist, that’s the equivalent of giving free airtime to Osama Bin Laden for a recruitment message.

Big ratings. Lots of website traffic. That’s all great! Promoting a message to countless numbers of disturbed Americans with racial hatred flowing through their veins that they can make history by being the person who pulls the trigger of the gun that kills America’s first black President — that’s reckless journalism. If you throw enough “what ifs” in to the crowd, there’s bound to be someone who says, “I’ll show you.”

Now that everyone’s familiar with all of this careless chatter about a potential assassination attempt on Obama, has anyone considered how it might impact voters teetering between pulling the lever for Hillary and Obama? Who’d want to vote for a presidential candidate with a bullseye on their head? The media is essentially telling Democrats that Hillary is the safer bet in a time when our nation is struggling with a war abroad and dissenting views at home. Do we really need to put ourselves in a position where our nation’s leader is murdered and chaos ensues? That’s what the media will be asking voters to consider, directly or indirectly.

Think about the Los Angeles riots that were spurred by the actions of an allegedly racist police force and a single unknown black man. The media hasn’t gone that far in their hypothesizing another L.A. riot scenario should a President Obama be murdered, but if they’re desperate enough to get Hillary elected, would it be crazy to assume that they would be inclined to include such a scenario in their next hypothesis of an assassination attempt on a President Obama?

“The best thing would be if they (Clinton and Obama) were to run together. Hillary is a very sharp lady. It might be calmer if she were to win, and not Obama.” This is what the brilliant Nobel Laureate I mentioned above suggested as a means of preventing Obama from being murdered. And, that’s how the reporter summed up the article entitled, “Obama Will Be Assassinated.”

That report’s conclusion sure sounds like a plug for Hillary, and her campaign should scold any reporter who tries to use the same scare tactic to steer voters away from Obama, who the conspiracy theorists in the media are increasingly trying to paint as a high-risk candidate, solely because he’s black and our nation has a few too many racist idiots.

If we’ve learned one thing about the efforts of our nation’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies since Sept. 11, 2001, it is that a faction of radicals intent on doing us harm — when we’re prepared, ready and anticipating their next move — is no match for them. You can bet on a top-notch Secret Service detail protecting a President Obama and countless federal agents working behind the scenes to ensure his safety and eliminate any individual or group(s) intent on doing him harm.
