James von Brunn shot and killed a security guard at the National Holocaust Museum. He was a White Supremest and a birther, but this was an isolated incident and not politically motivated.

Byron Williams was arrested on his way to "start a revolution" by shooting employees at liberal nonprofits the Tides Foundation and the ACLU. He admitted that he was following through on information he got from Glenn Beck. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

Nine members of a Christian anti-government Militia were arrested for plans where they would ambush and assassinate law enforcement personnel. They were hoping to start a war between the government and other militias. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

Andrew Joseph Stack flew his small plane in the Austin, TX, IRS building because of issues he had with the government. He was an anti-tax Tea Party type and spoke of his disdain for the government. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

Joshua Cartwright died in a gun battle with police after killing two sheriff deputies in Florida. The guy was a White Supremest didn't like the idea of a black man in the White House and was hoping to start a race war. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

James G. Cummings was shot to death by his wife, preventing him from finishing and using a dirty bomb. She said he was very upset Obama was elected and wanted to make a statement. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

Three Pittsburgh police officers were killed in plot by anti-government White Supremests. They were upset and afraid Obama would come and take their guns. So they set a trap and assassinated three law enforcement offices. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

Gregory Lee Giusti was arrested and later convicted for threatening the life of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Giusti made 48 threats before being taken into custody for a death threat. But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

A package addressed to DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano, blew up in a postal facility. Several other packages like this have been sent to Democrat representatives.But this was another isolated incident that was not politically motivated.

There's a pattern forming here. But it's an isolated pattern and not politically motivated.
That's some scary stuff. I wonder how many of these events don't happen if Obama is white. I try my best to avoid talking politics when I am down in the US for business but had an interesting chat with some colleagues in Chicago a few weeks back. They were convinced that a lot of the tea party movement and Obama backlash is due to his race not his policies. They don't think that it's a direct response but something indirectly they have a huge issue with. Something that Clinton, Carter or Gore would get away with. They think that figures like Beck, Rush and Palin indirectly feed this as well. Either way they had some fairly convincing points.
