Will there be riots if Obama loses?

[Ban Hammer 13,340]

Just move to the suburbs, and you will be safe.

move to the country and have cows, and one perpetually pissed off bull. you'll not have to worry about rioters.

[JohnR! 5,495]

But that's not the point of Danno's thread and it ignores the obvious bigotry that is allowed in this forum. There's a theme to all these threads like asking whether people vote for Obama simply because he's black, or will there be riots if he loses election and that theme plays upon racial stereotypes of blacks. Anyone who isn't directly addressing that issue here is only enabling bigots like Danno to feel safe about being more open with expressing their bigotry.

Fact is you can't fight bigotry, which is not to say you can't show how ridiculous and unfounded the premise of the thread is.

NOw that is just like you.... you know the rules about personal attacks and yet you do it, repeatedly.

It's because you are above the rules right? OR maybe your point or the issue is bigger than this communities laws, right?

Thanks for proving my point.

If this race is close, and people like you keep making everything a about race, fanning the flames of division. and if people perceive Obama was robbed.... a small number of people might act out.

That could be followed by those taking advantage of it. The Anarchist crowd, Black Bloc, looters etc.

Which is also a possibility if a small group feels Mitt was robbed. It could be followed by those taking advantage of unrest. The KKK, militias, looters, etc...

No idea, but my red neck brother-in-law told my wife the other day that he is going to live in Canada if Obama wins re-election. He said doesn't want to live in a country where he has to pay for somebody else's health-care, I kid you not.

[[ If Obama Loses: ]]

Why would there be riots if Obama loses? He already served 4 years.

----------------------------------

[[ If Obama Wins: ]]

[some] hill billies, rednecks, and tea partiers are furious. They despise a black guy in the white house, have a fear that this country is going to be overran by communists, guns will be taken away, the government is going to control which doctor you see, etc... They are very delusional maniacs that live outside of reality.

I could see some protests, gatherings, and in a worst-case scenario some violent outbursts where some innocent people lose their lives.

They have guns and they are crazy.

You do realize within the same post you both, doubt such a thing could happen.... and then explain how it might?

First part I am asking why people would protest if Obama lost...He already won in 2008 and served 4 years, why would people riot if he lost in 2012?

Second part I am saying if he WINS then there could be riots from the hill billies, rednecks, and tea partiers...You didn't think I was saying the hill billies and red necks would riot if Obama lost, did you?

If people feel Obama was cheated.. and that would be the key here, some could react to that. In 08 Obama won decisively and it seemed everyone accepted the results. I don't even recall any real incidents of back-lash from the race extremists that some here seem to be so focused on.

As far as the Hillbillies and all that rioting , can you give some examples in modern history where that has ever happened?

What do you base this on?

Which is also true if people feel Mitt was cheated... that that could be the key here... The RWNJ are trigger happy as you know...

No, I don't know, we are like 4 pages into this discussion and no one has offered one example of a mob from the Right burning down a city or looting because Reagan did not get the budget he wanted through congress.

Or even knocking the doors off the hinges to get to the latest version of iPad.

I mean who rioted when Clinton banned AR-15's?

I would suggest, the people on the fringe Right who are "ready to go to battle" ..... can't stand Romney or Obama, they are few in numbers and to them the New world Order is represented well in both candidates.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

A riot if Obama loses.

According to some, a "civil war" if Obama wins.

We're doomed either way.

I think that answers your own question. Regardless of who wins the election, these fringe RWNJ elements are the most likely to riot.

SO the New World order crowd will be ready to riot if Romney is not the one to usher it in?

Your logic is challenged to say the least.

Apparently that is what you implied.

My logic is symmetric and it flatters me so that you noticed.
