Obama isn't dumb. He knows the risk. So did Martin Luther King, jr. So did Bhutto. So did a whole slew of others who decided the only way to move forward is to take the risk.

After reading the stupid "blacks will riot if Obama doesn't get the nomination" smear, I was imaginging the counter scenario...what if Obama WINS? Will all those O'Reilly inspired thugs with guns decide it's time for the Confederacy to rise again? Are there places that won't accept an uppity black?

Truth is I DON'T believe that the gun-toting thugs hopped up on Fox News will decide scession and civil war are the answer to an Obama presidency. But it is MORE likely than the blacks rioting crap the right has been latching onto.

And there is NO QUESTION that there are some out there plotting an assassination attempt should Obama get elected. It's the risk Obama takes for leading people forward.

But before that expect the other attacks, the Corker-like racial attacks that have been all too effective in the past as they flitted around America's subconscious without being directly challenged as racist. That is the first nasty obstical to be overcome. Let's worry about the Fox-stoned thugs with guns later, if he wins.

Actually, I think Hillary runs a similar risk, but not quite the same magnitude.
