DISPATCHING OPPOSED
Mexico’s Francisco Martín Moreno finds reason to oppose those who wish Barack Obama assassinated:
A violent dispatching of Obama would leave the road to the White House paved for McCain, with Mexico and the rest of the world having to deal with four more years of Republican nightmare ...
It wouldn’t be too good for Obama, either.
Amnesty for a million border-crossers every year is simply not enough, damnit, the US must absorb even more of Mexico’s self-inflicted economic problems.
Oh joy.

Actually, one of the most disturbing questions is, why is it that lefties are the ones who seem to be obsessed with this possibility?
From Moreno: “There’s no reason to kill a McCain - not for his skin color, nor for his political career, nor for his personal name, and it’s impossible to associate him with the Muslims that arouse sop much prejudice in post-Sept. 11 America”.
Moreno is a writer for a Mexican newspaper, and he has penned an article that is so chock-full of ignorance and prejudice that he could pass himself off as a Berkeley city councilman, with no questions asked. BTW, as Dan Riehl pointed out on his blog, the “Moderate Voice”, where Moreno’s article is posted, is anything but.
The Transnational Left™ has long ago declared the Republican Party the reincarnation of the Nazis, so no “clues” are even necessary.

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 24 at 02:59 PM • permalinkOh, and if anyone wants to savor The Messiah™‘s ass whupping of Billary, and begin watching her impending implosion, go here.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 24 at 03:04 PM • permalinkI find this whole Obama assassination refrain on the part of his so-called “supporters” just bizarre in the extreme. Two things: They’re either hoping he’ll be murdered, so that they can have a martyr to beat everybody over the head with, or:
they were expecting the right to threaten assassination and, disappointed that the threat didn’t materialize, feel obligated to supply it themselves in order to continue the favored narrative of victimization.
Either way, it’s pathetic and pretty damned strange.
Things that make you say, “huh?”:
Ralph Nader announces he’s running for President
Yes, of the United States.
Heh.
Oh, wait! That’s Dave Barry’s campaign slogan.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2008 02 24 at 03:52 PM • permalink#10 Rebecca,
Probably a little of both, plus another factor.
Some of Obama’s most emotional supporters regard him as a Christ figure who can redeem his country – and the world. They’re fools, of course. He’s just a politician. But his death will validate their new religion, so they dwell on it with disturbing fervor.
In their religion, Obama is too good for this corrupt world. His death at the hands of villains like Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush will prove it. Idiotic, sure. But after all, they’re Democrats.
First John McCain gets sold out by his buddies at the New York Times and now by the Mexicans. Oh the agony.
Posted by andycanuck on 2008 02 24 at 06:44 PM • permalinkMoreno’s elite overlords ship millions of Mexico’s poorest across the border because the US will take care of them as Mexico will not. Then he calls us racist and violent. Leftist wonders never cease.
Posted by Gary from Jersey on 2008 02 24 at 06:55 PM • permalinkIn a country where the Ku Klux Klan even now demands White supremacy, promotes anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, racism and homophobia;
Yes, because a small, fringe group believes this the country is racist. On the other hand, muslim countries where anti-simitism, anti-christianism (including catholics, naturally), sexism and homophobia take the form of executions, that’s OK, because they are all Bush’s victims.
It is telling that in order to bolster his claims of a racist country he has to go back to the 60’s. Does racism exist in the US? Certainly, but so it does in Mexico as well. And all things considered, this racism can hardly be crippling, considering the millions of supposedly discriminated-against cross the border because they’d rather live here that in their racism free utopia. Please!
As long as they keep people believing that the all the problems in Mexico are the US’s fault, they don’t have to bother fixing their own problems.
Posted by Not My Problem on 2008 02 24 at 07:56 PM • permalinkAnd mind you I grew up in Mexico and love both the country and it’s people. But I get frustrated at their inability and/or unwillingness to do anything for themselves, and instead whine and spew hatred about the US while holding out their hand for economic help from the US.
Posted by Not My Problem on 2008 02 24 at 07:59 PM • permalinkAlso, and then I’ll stop, if I were Obama, I’d be feeling pretty nervous about this rhetoric coming from his “supporters”: it almost sounds like they are hoping for his assassination, just so they can prove that the US is a rats-nest of racism.

Damn straight. A soft on immigration, anti-business, RINO as the best alternative is a nightmare for most Republicans.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2008 02 24 at 08:29 PM • permalinkCorrect, stackja1945. Mexico is still pissed that they lost both the Texas Revolution and Mexican-American War.

yeah, sure…when they’re living in the high crime hotspots. And statistically they’ll be shot by another black man.
However, you’ve missed a couple of facts.
Obama
1) isn’t poor,
2) isn’t african-american, and
3) doesn’t live in downtown Detroit, Philadelphia, New Orleans, or Memphis.so lets stop this sentimentalist drivel.
Posted by daddy dave on 2008 02 25 at 12:11 AM • permalinkWhy don’t you guys just accept the truth that a black man is far more likely to be shot dead in the U.S. than a white man (or man/woman in Hillary’s case).
rob, I can’t tell if you are tongue-in-cheek, or serious, but in case you are serious (with my abject apologies if you are not), you are partially mistaken :
Black victims are over represented in homicides involving drugs. Compared with the overall involvement of blacks as victims, blacks are less often the victims of sex-related homicides, workplace killings, and homicide by poison.
So while you are correct that black Americans are more likely to be murdered than white Americans, the reason for the difference (i.e., drugs) works against your statement.
So unless The Messiah™ gets wasted during a drug deal gone bad (which, I am sure that you will agree, is unlikely in the extreme), that argument doesn’t fly. In point of fact, an assassination of a black American would be the exception, not the rule.
I also argue that the race of the theoretical assassin can’t extrapolated from these data, because such an event is statistically unusual.
The two assassinations of prominent black Americans that I can recall amount to a dead heat; Malcolm X was assassinated by other black Americans (hmmmm…..from the Nation of Islam!), and Martin Luther King by a white American.
Besides which, why should we accept this “truth”? Government by assassination is not repeat underscore italicize emphasize NOT the way America runs, no matter what leftards and anti-Americans might think. We prefer an orderly succession of government, thankyouverymuch. Not a constant presidential turn over by small arms.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 25 at 12:32 AM • permalinkOne point of clarification to rob w.
I am assuming that the base motivations of murders involving drugs and political assassinations are not the same. If you disagree, I am interested in hearing just how that might be the case.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 25 at 12:34 AM • permalink#29 rob, I can’t tell if you are tongue-in-cheek, or serious, but in case you are serious (with my abject apologies if you are not), you are partially mistaken :
It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but perhaps something went wrong when I produsaged the post.
My point, I guess, was* why has their been so much assclownage theorising americans are racist because some loon can imagine a white guy shooting Obama?
Whilst I accept that guns don’t kill people, bullets do.
The bullets that kill a black man are more likely to be loaded and fired by a black man than a white man.*Then again I guess It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘was’ was.
Produsing with your tongue-in-cheek will do that, rob. ;-P
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 25 at 02:46 AM • permalinkWhat you mean by “pseudo-religious fervour”, PW? Obama is The Messiah™ doncha know? He’s gonna heal our souls!!!!
Brothers and sisters, let me hear a HALLELUJAH!!!!

A point that the Omabamaniacs blissfully ignore while vocalizing this fantasy of theirs.
OTOH, I just have to savor the irony that these cretins are fantasizing as hard for The Messiah™‘s assassination as they are for that of Bush.
Cognitive dissonance, indeed.
