The dangers of delusion can be profound. This Maine man believes wrongly that Obamacare will take spousal benefits from his sick wife, so he posted a picture of President Obama on Facebook with the caption, "Shoot the n----r."
He also defends his use of the word n----r.
Sometimes I think this blog should be called "What the Hell Is Wrong with People?" But we know what's wrong with Mr. Marsters. He's a racists whose hate for black people has left him completely cracked. It has poisoned his soul and his mind to the point that he thinks assassinating his President is the way to go.
Never mind that President Obama was elected TWICE by significant majorities. Never mind that President Obama is the first President in US history to be required to publicly show his papers, not that it did anything to convince the birther nuts. Never mind that Mr. Marsters' delusions about Obamacare are completely untrue.
Sadly, Mr. Marsters is not alone. I have had to block, unfriend, and unfollow a number of people in my own social media world who pray for, hope for, wish for, and encourage the murder of President Obama. These are people who claim to be Christians.
People have the right to be racist. It's a free country. But it never ceases to sicken me when I witness the vitriol this ignorant poison fuels. Get Above Your Raisin', Mr. Marsters - and all you birthers, racists, and fear-mongers. Practically every aspect of American life has improved since Barack Obama was elected. Instead of campaigning for his demise, how about opening your eyes and minds and start to see your fear for what it is: psychopathy.
