During the primaries, there have been any number of overt racists who candidly have said they will not vote for Obama because he is black. Those people were shown on national tv. Can you name one? I didn't see anyone make such a remark and I would think this kind of racism would be the subject of some major protests. Of course, it is no more racist than blacks voting FOR him because he IS black. But I don't expect anyone to complain about that. Black-against-white racism is well tolerated by the liberal media. As to the threats against him, it is not unexpected and it is a real concern. He is a frightening figure to many -- not only because there are racists, but because his positions are so extreme. I will give him credit for having the courage to run, because it is definitely a high-risk activity for him.
