Secret Service: Threat level against Obama no greater than under Bush, Clinton
(Hat tip to Booker Rising and Black Informant)
Do you hear that large "pop"?
That is the sound of the balloon that had been floated by MSNBC, Huffington Post, DailyKOS, some operatives at CNN, and many Black Progressive Propaganda blogs.
They bought into the claim that President Obama faced a 400% increase in threats against him than did President Bush who preceded him. This claim came from a book that was published in February 2009 and thus, in the best case had only a few weeks of the actual Obama presidency to glean this factoid from.
The motivation for this claim is pretty simple: If the "Obama Manhood Protectors" are able to make the case that RACISM is the motivating force standing in opposition to Obama then they can do a mass discount of those who stand opposed to him. Their opposition is not based upon rational policy differences, instead it is lead by the color of his skin.
The rise of the "Right Wing Militia" groups and the "Tea Party Protesters" have fomented into threats upon the life of the Commander In Chief.
Thus with this claim was released it was picked up and incessantly propagated by these left-wing sources as a means of executing a blanked dismissal of the Opposition to Obama.
The other day we "heard from the horse's mouth" - the Secret Service. As you see above he shot down these claims.
Don't expect a retraction or clarification from any of the sources above. Their mission was accomplished.

Actually, Sullivan's message was carefully crafted. He said the "threats right now." His tone and demeanor suggests that his testimony was something less than full disclosure. He skillfully left open the question of whether these numbers were up any time before "right now." Up or down, crashing a party at which the POTUS is in attendance is worrisome, wouldn't you say??? kzs
Imperfect Black
It's interesting that the "claim" of higher death threats was used like a hammer on Mr Sullivan, but resistance to "actual data" was obviously shown. You may have overlooked the fact that she was resistant to "actual data" and her demeanor abusive and oppressive in not wanting to hear the actual truth in the matter.
Could you supply proof of Mr Sullivan's craftiness.
Sullivan said..."the death threats have been the same as the last two Presidents to this poi..."-(interruption)
Ms Norton said..."this is very comforting news" end of clip
I believe he was trying to say the death threats have been the same as the last two Presidents to this point in their presidency.
