Obama Deathwish Fantasies, aka, The Left getting upset over noth-- wait, what?

A while ago, some people on The Left thought about Barak Obama, and what might the consquenses be if he were elected. Or even nominated. After all, the US has some history of political assassinations and attempts thereof (especially, but not exclusively, at progressives); and of white supremacists; and even of Just Plain Nutjobs Who Blow Shit Up For No Good Reason.

The howls of derision started up from the usual suspects that this was some sort of pathological deathwish fantasy... on the part of The Left. There was simply no evidence that anything was likely to happen: it was simply those lefty idiots hyperventilating over nothing, again. Those fools.


I mean, it's not like Obama is in any danger whatsoever, is it?
