I totally agree with Hillaryis44 regarding the supposed "death threats" against The One. Just as with the accusations of racism, the big death threat issue is yet another diversionary tactic. This kind of propaganda smacks of desperation and hysteria. Could it be that Obama is losing his grip on the hearts and minds of Americans, and that he's fully aware that people are beginning to see through him?
During August we all witnessed town hall protests. It was also a time when Obama supporters began to raise “threats” to Obama’s life as a concern. It was Obama supporters, mostly Dimocrats with Republican Obama “admirers” who began the narrative that Obama’s life was in danger. We’ll discuss WHO these people are below. More interesting is the WHY of the non-existent “death threats”.

The “Why” Of The Death Threats.
A superficial analysis, the pedestrian conclusion, about why the “death threats” became a big topic of public discussion by Dimocrats is that it was the equivalent of shouting “racist!”. At that superficial, but true level, it was clear that the goal was to shut down and shut up Obama opponents.
The goal of shouting “racist” or “death threats” was to de-legitimize Obama opponents. Shouting “racist” worked well for Obama and the Barack Obama Thugs (hereinafter B.O.T.s) during the primaries and general election. Shouting “racist” also worked in the early months of the year to shut down, or at least confuse or discourage, Obama opponents.
But shouting “racist!” had a diminishing return. Race-baiting was not working so well especially after Obama played the race card from the bottom of the deck by declaring Cambridge police “acted stupidly” in the Henry Louis Gates race-baiting episode. Obama’s poll numbers, especially among white Americans, took a hit as Americans began to see that Obama is not “post racial” but rather a race-baiter and a defender of his upper class supporters against “bitter” and “clingy” small-town and lower and middle class Americans.
As the “racist” card lost its currency a new strategy emerged to shut up Obama opponents: “death threats”. All of a sudden Dimocrats everywhere from Nancy Pelosi to what passes for Dimocratic intellectuals were all clutching their pearls and shedding crocodile tears about the non-existent “death threats”. As with “racist” it was all an attempt to shut Obama opponents up and de-legitimize them.
But the above is obvious and superficial. There is a much deeper meaning to the rise of the “death threat” narrative.
