@thegalacticemperor,
Obama being assassinated is something I fear very much.
I tend to think people hate in private/selective conditions much more so than in public, and also on the internet since it has no face to face nuance or consequences. If you could catch would be assassins before they ever got to the stage of trying to put their plans into action then I think some sort of public punishment would be in order. Not lethal, but perhaps a televised community service sentence where they have to clean toilets, serve food, or work for a major city. Maybe a stint on Extreme Home Makeover. Basically jobs/services where there are many different ethnic groups involved.
The cameras would serve two purposes. It would keep them safe and may provide them a longer, more painful life in prison if their soon to be fellow inmates were able to bond with them. They may also help teach some sort of lesson to someone. After the reality TV humility lesson they could go to jail for conspiracy to commit murder.
I don't think you're weird at all for thinking that. I think a lot of people, myself included, find it hard not to want to lash out after going through so much as a country/society. Some Conservatives show the same amount of distress and ideation. I can distinctly remember Michael Savage saying he would hang his listeners for sedition if they disagreed with him.
It's a shame, and I admit I haven't turned on the radio in some time now, but I already know his and other talk shows fuel would be Obama assassins sheltered little minds on a nightly basis.
