Threat Levels

Da Judge is worried about President Obama, no doubt on a black horse, riding into Texas with the full force of the UN army behind him. Of course it ain't gonna happen. Neither is this:

LUDOWICI — Prosecutors say a murder case against four soldiers in Georgia has revealed they formed an anarchist militia within the U.S. military with plans to overthrow the federal government... The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans... Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia’s goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.

But, really, which scenario has more potential to do actual damage, in whatever amount? Which is already extant: right-wing neo-Nazi haters of Barack Obama trying to hurt someone, or UN peacekeepers rising up under the banner of Kenyan anti-colonialism and marching across our borders?

Thanks to the constant barrage from the RWS™ proclaiming Obama's "otherness," his illegitimacy, his hatred for our country, these nutjobs are given a reason for existing; a claim to relevance, a channel for their life-long sense of grievance. They are out there. Their numbers may be small, but if they succeeded in their assassination plans, there'd be millions more, silently cheering. You know, the ones already dismantling democracy by voter suppression and destruction of education. Anarchy on the inside.
