WHAT are you smoking?  The article wasn't about criticism. It was about violence.  Or is murder just another form of political expression for you?

"Has Obama been threatened?  Well, the NYT doesn't actually
say that.  They don't HAVE TO.  This is the NYT, after all."

I had the same angry reaction to the NYT ridiculous non-news article about the risk to candidate's lives. Hillary Clinton receives constant death threats, I know because I used to open the constituent mail at her office.

After 9-11 I was too sick to continue my work as a first responder, so I went to volunteer at her Manhattan district office to help handle the many constituent needs. Opening mail one day we were suddenly faced with an envelope that burst open, spraying brownish sandlike material all over us. Two weeks later the anthrax letters were delivered to many Congressional Democrats, and media. It prompted the new practice of  x-raying and irradiating all mail before it is handled, to try to minimize the threat. We always had to watch our backs leaving the office at night, there were weird stalkers waiting outside. These are just normal risks that our politicians and their staffs face. It goes with the territory. Hillary Clinton risks her life constantly to perform public service, there are many very crazy people who hate her to a delusional, psychotic degree. The NYT has never published a kind, concerned article about her bravery and courage.

I am thoroughly repulsed by that NYT article. The favoritism is reprehensible.

You are so full of hate, it's painful.

and disappointing in what it implies.

Now, we criticize the press for reporting on the threats, democratic politicians constantly live under???

Get a life.

You see everything only through the prism of the primary and totally forget and overlook the big picture.

Lame. Sad. Pathetic. Repulsive.

In other words: Exactly what one has learned to expect from a MyDD diary nowadays.

"JRE used to get packages sent to his campaign office that were suspicious all the time."

I am sure he did. They all do, especially if they are attracting attention on the campaign trail.

The Secret Service x-rayed all packages before bringing them to the Clinton office, because of all the bomb threats. There is no way to protect elected officials completely, it is always a high risk situation.

Oh, boy...

The vast conspiracy continues, I see.

Wow.

Hey, did you know that the destruction of the Twin Towers was an inside job? I mean it! Experts have testified!

I find it disappointing that people who have nothing substanative to post elect to post anyway as if anyone really cares for their particular brand of ho-hum distain.  Please leave this column available to the politically astute so as not to discourage real discourse in favor of sub-intellectual venting.  Much appreciatated. (Oh and for those who don't get it -- let me translate to your level:  Don't post if you have nothing real to say - pretty please with sugar on it.)
