“If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot.” ( SOURCE) “If Obama don’t win lets start a riot so Romney know what he’s getting himself into.” ( SOURCE) “You know you ain’t shit if you gotta “MAKE” Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! …. Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot.” ( SOURCE) “If Romney wins im goin on a rampage.” ( SOURCE) “If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and fuck shit up.” ( SOURCE) “If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romney’s elected? #Riot in the streets!!” ( SOURCE) “If Romney becomes president let’s all start a riot.” ( SOURCE) “I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do .”IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT.” ( SOURCE) “If romney wins, imma start a mf’n riot! Rns.” ( SOURCE) Although most of the individuals posting the messages don’t even attempt to justify why they plan to riot, others have pointed to fears about a Romney administration withdrawing or limiting government handouts. You can check out some of the screenshots from these Twitter users below. We didn’t even include all of the messages because there are simply too many to track. In addition to rhetoric about starting riots if Obama loses, Twitter users have also targeted Mitt Romney with death threats. “I swear if Mitt Romney becomes president, I’m gonna be the one to assassinate his a*s (sic),” wrote one “If Mitt Romney win imma assassinate him (sic),” added another Obama supporter. Given the fact that Americans routinely riot in response to results of sporting events that don’t go their way, the notion that civil unrest could ensue if Obama is defeated is perfectly plausible. Only this weekend, almost a thousand skateboarders rioted because they were unable to attend a movie premiere in Hollywood because the theater only holds 600 people. Racial attacks carried out by mobs of black youths have also gone underreported in the media, most notably in places like Chicago and Virginia, as well as attacks at fairgrounds in Wisconsin.

It's scary, how much the New York Times is in the tank for Obama over Libya By Patrick Caddell Published October 15, 2012 Radio talk show host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham was right when she confronted New York Times political reporter Jeff Zeleny on the set of "Fox News Sunday" this weekend: "I would hope that the New York Times, as they camped outside of Scooter Libby’s house during the whole Valerie Plame thing -- are you guys camped out of the Susan Rice residence?” She said, “This is ridiculous and I think the press is partly culpable here.” And she wasn’t alone in voicing that sentiment. Fox News' Brit Hume agreed with Ingraham during the same roundtable discussion on the program Sunday. "I do think Laura’s made a good point. It shouldn’t be up to the campaign and candidates to try to get to the bottom of this before Election Day. This should be a job for all the good investigative reporters in the media to be out on this story, investigative teams such as they are should be all over this. This does have, it seems to me, an extremely strong scent of cover-up and it does looks like that it was engineered in some way. There’s just something about those five appearances on a Sunday with a story that they had to know was off base. That doesn’t smell right and ought to be exposed." Both Ingraham and Hume are 100 percent right. Yet, if you look at the front page of the New York Times on Monday morning (view front page here), Libya is nowhere to be found. Yet, the Benghazi attack on 9/11 that killed our ambassador and three others was the topic of every Sunday talk show this weekend. The New York Times still thinks of itself as "the paper of record"; it’s the one paper every network newscast consults on a daily basis. So why isn't Libya on the front page Monday morning? Here’s why: The Times is so in the tank for the Obama administration it's scary. I've never seen anything like it. They are doing everything they can to protect the Obama White House over this disaster. When are Republicans -- and all Americans -- going to call on the press to look into this outrage?
