obama assassination

as early as obama was a serious contender for the democratic primary, my dad said he felt somebody would try to kill him. obama would be too prominent, too symbolic, and too much of a shift in leadership for many in this country to accept. i wondered if a well-armed, racist, home-grown, white american wouldn't adopt a method of assassination that has worked so many times overseas in the form of a suicide bombing. i hope it never comes to pass, but i still feel people are going to try like never before to assassinate him.

below is an excellent video documenting the potential assassination plots coming from american white supremacist groups. the cover of the "national worker" magazine that is displayed about 3/4 of the way through the video made my jaw drop.
