Jesse Ventura Warns Of Obama Assassination Attempt
 
Former Minnesota Governor says government will target any independent who gets close to White House


Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura caused shockwaves during a national radio interview today when he warned Barack Obama to be wary of a potential assassination attempt, saying that the government would target any independent politician who got close to the White House.
The last chapter of Ventura's new book, Don't Start The Revolution Without Me, is a fictional tale about an assassination attempt on his life following a run for President.
The context of Ventura's warning was a discussion about new evidence concerning the assassination of Robert Kennedy, after it emerged that there were additional shooters to accused assassin Sirhan Sirhan.

"I believe very strongly that if an independent candidate like myself - a rogue - were to get into the President's race legitimately, if the polls looked like he had a chance to win, I believe that candidate would either be physically assassinated or would be assassinated credibility-wise or in some manner by our government because I do not believe they would ever allow a true independent or a citizen to become President of the United States," Ventura told The Alex Jones Show.
"I say this in all seriousness - watch out Barack Obama," he added.
Ventura is not the first to warn of a potential future assassination attempt on Obama - British Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing said Obama would be taken out if he became President in February.

"He would probably not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would kill him," Lessing told a Swedish newspaper.
Princeton University political science professor-Melissa Harris-Lacewell echoed the same sentiment a month before, saying: "For many black supporters, there is a lot of anxiety that he will be killed. It is on people's minds."
"You can't make a prediction like this - like he has a 50 per cent chance of getting shot." "But the greater his visibility and the greater his access to people, there is a danger."
Some speculated that Obama had been set up for an assassination attempt during a February 20 rally in Dallas, after it emerged that Secret Service gave the order to stop screening for weapons a full hour before the event began.

Probably because the very presidential senator from his own state was murdered a few days before the '02 midterms.

Do people honestly still believe the ruling cabal isn't capable of removing all obstacles? Wow.

Both true ... However, I still think The Body is a political idiot.

People who tell it like it is are telling like it is from theirpoint of view.
What is it about the media that makes their intelligence rise?
Ventura made more problems than created solutions = idiot.

You are easily the most racist person in this forum.

KKK membership is estimated at @5,000.
White Supremists are estimated to be @25,000.
Skinheads are estimated to be @4500

All together members of the above groups are estimated at @150,000 to 200,000. George Bush received 62,000,000 votes in 2004 which means
you just racially stereotyped @61,000,000 good Americans.

That's sounds about right for your racist thinking that has no
factual basis for what you spew. I can't imagine anyone else in this
forum who would call 61,000,000 Americans KKK & white supremists.

I said they were the core of his voter base, which most people with any kind of intelligence agrees with, including you.

I said nothing about the other 61 million, only what is in your devious mind.

And, I fully expect for you to take back your comment calling me the most racist person in this forum. I take offense to it, and what you did is vile, and totally against forum rules, and you have been reported for doing it.

Like I said, some time ago, because of what was done to me last year, by a select group, I am now reporting every single post that I read that contains any sort of personal insulting attack, ..I will no longer allow myself to be abused in the way I was a year ago that led Ian to ban me, for something I did not do. And, as far as I am concerned, those that did this to me, well, I will leave it at that. But, I never forget.

Quite frankly, I am quite surprised by your recent posts. Did someone piss in your cheerios?

And, BTW, I am as far from racist as one can get, and that's why KI despise organizations like the KKK, skinheads, White Supremists, etc, ...they disgust me. As does the radical Christian right, of the evangelical south... bigots of the highest calibre, and very covert anti semites, too.

NEM do you know what a voter base is?

A voter base is your core constituency ... your main support.

You said ... "the Bush voter base".

I didn't say that you did.

Again ... here it is verbatim:

A base is not a small percentage of your support it is a majority. Your statement says the majority are bubbas, white supremists, KKK, skinheads.

I mean you typed it ... it is not putting words or changing what you said. So you are saying most of the other 61,000,000 Bush voters are what you say above.

You just said @62,000,000 voters were racists which is not factually true.

Your statement was racist because you are painting a group of people to be something they are not.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups.
It's not my fault you don't think before you type ... I mean you said it ... not I. Just because @150,000 people think they are superior to others and they vote republican does not mean or infer that the other 61,000,000 are similar.

Report all you want because you just reported yourself.

IMO you are your own worst enemy ... or perhaps you could blame your fingers for typing it ... but you did type it. Now if only you had added the word "some" and left out "voter base" ... that might have worked.:rolleyes:
