Death Threats Against Bush at Protests Ignored for Years zomblogIf you just want to see the evidence and not read the introduction, simply scroll down to the photos, or click here to jump directly to them. On Wednesday, August 1. Death to Obama at a town hall meeting in Maryland was detained and turned over to the Secret Service which will likely soon charge him with threatening the president. As well they should. I fully and absolutely agree with the Secret Service pursuing this case, since anyone who threatens the president is breaking the law and should be prosecuted. It doesnt matter that Obama was not at the meeting nor that the man was unarmed the threat all on its own is a federal crime, according to the United States Code. I support the arrest and prosecution of any person who threatens Obama or any president of the United States. Bush was threatened frequently but no arrests. But the story of this arrest got me to thinking Why was no one ever arrested for threatening President Bush at protests, when they displayed signs in public that called for his death Many readers may naively think, The answer is obvious no protester was ever arrested for threatening Bush at a protest because no one ever threatened him at a protest. Who would be that stupid I certainly never heard of any such threats. Alas, if only it were that simple. Because the bald fact is that people threatened Bush at protests all the time by displaying menacing signs and messages exactly as the anti Obama protester just did in Maryland. Yet for reasons that are not entirely clear, none of those Bush threateners at protests was ever arrested, questioned, or investigated at least as far as I could tell.

But if youre outraged by the very existence of this report, or curious about my motivations for publishing it, then please take a few minutes to read the following explanation. Why am I doing this Let me make this perfectly clear I am not publishing this essay in order to make excuses for anyone who has threatened President Obama, or who plans to threaten him in the future. This is not some wrongheaded attempt at a tu quoque logical fallacy in other words, Im not trying to claim that death threats against Bush in the past justify threats against Obama now. Not at all. What Im saying is that present day threats to Obama at protests should be investigated yet previous threats to Bush at protests werent investigated, which I think is inexcusable. Threats to the president arent excusable now, and werent excusable in the past and yet death threats against Bush at protests seem to have been routinely ignored for years and readers who have any evidence showing that the threateners depicted below were ever prosecuted for threatening the president, please tell me and Ill update this essay with the new info. Why the discrepancy Am I calling the Secret Service incompetentNo I am not calling the Secret Service incompetent. In fact, Im pointing the finger of blame in an entirely different direction. Im quite sure that the Secret Service always dutifully investigates any threat to the president of which it becomes aware. But thats the key right there of which it becomes aware. The Secret Service has only a limited budget and a limited number of investigators, and so cant be present to witness every potential threat as it appears. Often, the Secret Service is only alerted to a possible threat by reports in the media. And the media is the weak link. I contend that the media is aggressively reporting on, highlighting and pursuing any and all possible threats to President Obama and even hints of threats but they purposely glossed over, ignored or failed to report similar threats to President Bush. Why I believe it is part of an ideological bias most mainstream networks and newspapers tried their best during the Bush administration to portray the anti war movement as mainstream and moderate whereas now they are trying to portray the anti tax and anti health care bill protesters as extremists and as fringe kooks. To achieve these goals, they essentially suppressed any mentions of the violent signage including threats to Bush at anti war rallies, but have highlighted anything that could even conceivably be construed as a threat at anti Obama events. I believe this partly accounts for the 4. Obama over those against President Bush. Part of that reported increase in investigated threats is undoubtedly due to an increase in actual threats but part of it is almost certainly due to an increase in threats which get reported by the media and are therefore brought to the Secret Services attention. This is similar to the famous paradox about rape awareness programs. Researchers were long mystified as to why incidents of rape in a city or a social group seemed to invariably rise after rape awareness campaigns drew attention to the problem in order to help solve it. The answer turned out to be obvious Its not that the number of actual rapes went up its that the number of rapes which got reported went up, as women had more awareness and less shame about reporting the crime. The end result is that more threats to Obama are being reported. After scanning the pictures below of death threats against Bush, ask yourself Holy cow why was I never aware of these at the time The reason Because the media intentionally failed to report on them. Which is why both the average American and the Secret Service never became aware of many of these protest threats. So now when a single protester shows up at an anti Obama rally displaying a death threat, he is immediately pounced upon by the media and the Secret Service. Whereas in the past when protesters by the dozen threatened Bush, the media turned a blind eye, and the threateners got off scot free. Double standard Is there a double standard Seems to be. Every threat to Obama is now vigorously pursued, trumpeted and dissected by the media and the blogs, and roundly condemned. And I condemn such threats as well. But in the past, whenever someone threatened Bush at a protest, there was a deafening silence on the part of the media and the left leaning blogs, and consequently very little if any follow through on the part of the Secret Service. Which I find quite distressing. I was condemning those threats in the past as best I could, by drawing attention to them on my blog but few people were joining me in my condemnation. I am NOT repeat NOT defending anyone who threatens a presidents life. Thats the whole point. I say that anone who threatens Obama should be arrested andor investigated. Altium Designer 10 0 22 Keygen Mac. All I am saying is that threats to Bush should have been similarly pursued but werent. And the only reason Im publishing the essay is that many Obama supporters to my astonishment now claim that Bush was never threatened at protests. Before we can have a rational discussion on this topic, we need to have a shared factual basis. The evidence below will establish that basis. If you truly, truly cared about presidents lives being threatened, you would be just as incensed by people threatening Bushs life at protests as you are about the far less frequent instances of Obamas life being threatened at protests. Some Bush threats followed up as expected but protest threats ignored.
