Of course that kind of thinking has no place. Nobody here is defending racism.
People are up in arms (and rightfully so) at America being painted by the brush of these idiots who "hatched" this "plan". There's a big leap from not wanting a black man to be President because he is black-- which is indeed racist -- to not being upset if he's killed. There's another big leap from that to being happy he was killed. There's an even bigger leap from that to wanting to kill him yourself.
Suggesting there are 3 MILLION people who want to kill Obama is totally ######ed. There may not be that many people in the WORLD that would want to kill him. In fact there probably isn't. With that number you're suggesting that a group of people three times the size of the population of Calgary want to find a way to kill Barack Obama and follow through on it.
F80 has said the number was ridiculous. It's clearly ridiculous. It's as ridiculous as the bias that gave him that poorly-thought-through conclusion in the first place.
