... threats against President Obama are up 400 percent from the number of threats levied against former President George W. Bush, while the size of the agency's (Secret Service) staff has only increased by 5.3 percent.
The Southern Poverty Law Center says that the U.S. has seen a 35 percent rise in hate groups in recent years, and few doubt that the discontent stirred up over the election of an African-American president is fueling the rise in threats. But, could the influx of modern technology also be to blame?
I'm gonna' take a stab at this: probably not. It's not like all of the sudden, in the day between GWBush and Obama, the internet suddenly got 400% more important as a factor.

@Anthony - and how much is fed by hate speech? How many of these people only find the courage to voice their anger when someone tells them it's ok to hate?

"Hehehe. Its October folks, I could do this all month."
And each time you would look even more stupid. So go ahead ... keep at it. In fact, why limit yourself to the rest of one month ? Why not finish out the next decade digging yourself ever deeper ? Make us happy.
