Hillary lies and says that killing Obama is "unthinkable". Then why are other people talking about it?

Fox News Guest Openly Calls For Obama Assassination

Neo-Con obsession with killing Democratic candidate takes sick new turn as Hillary Clinton makes veiled threat

Paul Joseph Watson

The Neo-Cons' sick obsession with assassinating Barack Obama took another bizarre turn yesterday when Fox News guest Liz Trotta openly expressed a desire to see someone "knock off" the Democratic candidate.

Trotta, former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, referred to the Democratic frontrunner as "Osama" before quipping that it would be nice to see both Bin Laden and Barack Obama killed.

TROTTA: And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama — Obama. Well, both, if we could.

HOST: Talk about how you really feel.

This latest example follows the trend of a bizarre and disturbing corporate media obsession with Obama being killed before he is able to take office.

Neo-Cons, who will whine and bitch all day long about how protesters should be scrutinized and often brutalized for using their right to free speech "in a time of war," apparently consider themselves above the law when it comes to making death threats against public figures.

Imagine if CNN pundits had joked about Bush being assassinated during the 2004 presidential campaign - they would have been booted off the air and interrogated by the secret service.

Keith Olbermann took Hillary Clinton to task on Friday for implying that she would stay in the Democratic race, despite the fact that she has virtually no chance of succeeding, because extraneous circumstances, such as an assassination, could change the picture.

Clinton made specific reference to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Only the most naive and deluded observer could take this as anything other than a veiled threat.

Olbermann's fury is justified but, as Kurt Nimmo points out, this goes deeper than a mere faux pas on behalf of Hillary. In reality, political crime families kill the opposition and the Clintons are notorious for having their adversaries "taken care of".

Several high profile public figures have warned that Obama may be the target of an assassination attempt before he is able to occupy the White House.

Appearing on The Alex Jones Show last month, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura warned that Obama could be in the crosshairs.

"I believe very strongly that if an independent candidate like myself - a rogue - were to get into the President's race legitimately, if the polls looked like he had a chance to win, I believe that candidate would either be physically assassinated or would be assassinated credibility-wise or in some manner by our government because I do not believe they would ever allow a true independent or a citizen to become President of the United States," said Ventura.

"I say this in all seriousness - watch out Barack Obama," he added.

British Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing said Obama would be taken out if he became President in February.

"He would probably not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would kill him," Lessing told a Swedish newspaper.

Princeton University political science professor-Melissa Harris-Lacewell echoed the same sentiment a month before, saying: "For many black supporters, there is a lot of anxiety that he will be killed. It is on people's minds."

"You can't make a prediction like this - like he has a 50 per cent chance of getting shot."

"But the greater his visibility and the greater his access to people, there is a danger."

Some speculated that Obama had been set up for an assassination attempt during a February 20 rally in Dallas, after it emerged that Secret Service gave the order to stop screening for weapons a full hour before the event began.

I have sometimes wondered if the ugly racial hatred of the Jim Crow days is still with us although superficially silenced by the 44 year enforcement of the 1964 civil rights act.

I have wondered if the overt rise in visibility of black leaders, black movie stars, black television personalities, professional athletes, and average Black Americans making slow but steady progress in every field of endeavor evoked a politically correct surface acceptance from 100 million white observers, but possibly most of whom privately yearn for a return to the "separate but equal" America when Black people "knew their place."

On a personal note,in 1970, when I was a full blown hippie with long hair, guitar, and sleeping bag, I hitchhiked through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Everywhere I went I was ordered by disapproving white southerners to use the "black only" facilities." The only people that instantly befriended me were Black people. And when in the company of newly found Black friends, white people of all ages would threaten me and warn me to "get away from them (n words) if you know what's good for you."

To this day I consider most Black people my potential friends or at least friendly acquantances.

All of a sudden I wonder if most of those 100 million white observers, are the white trash bums I encountered in the South, about to awaken from dormant slumber and collectively resurrect their ugly personas.

I think it's possible, and even probable, but the New World Order folks, including Billary and the Faux News people, work their asses off to make sure that that does not happen.
