This is not surprising:
An African-American man from Mississippi admits posing as a white supremacist to send a death threat across state lines by Facebook.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 20-year-old Dyron L. Hart of Poplarville pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to making a threat in November 2008.
Hart admitted creating a name and using a white supremacists’ photo to pose as a white man who planned to kill blacks because Barack Obama had been elected president.
He originally was charged with threatening three black students at Nicholls State — where he had attended one semester — but pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count.
He sent the threats from a computer in Poplarville.
The maximum sentence is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine; sentencing is Nov. 18.
There are, indeed, white racists in America – in a nation of 300 million people and 210 million white people, there might even be 10 or 20 million white racists. A tiny percentage, but certainly a large number of people. But what would make such a person – even if he had a burning, passionate hatred of black people – want to issue threats? Let alone carry out any such threats? The plain fact of the matter is that the chances of someone hating Obama based on his race sufficient to make him desire to take action against Obama is vanishingly small. It could happen, but it almost certainly won’t. But, such facts don’t fit the narrative…and so, here we have Mr. Hart.
Now, Mr. Hart might have been doing this entirely on his own hook, but I doubt it. It is in the left’s interest to have a heightened level of threats against Obama in order to create the story that to oppose Obama is to be in some way tied to the racists who are threatening him. Having people like Hart do what they do makes all opposition to Obama appear odious. And its not that someone has to hire Hart – just the right word or suggestion, here or there, and someone who shares the leftwing world view – and its penchant for lying in service to the cause – and you’ll get plenty like him out there.
We can expect more and more of this as opposition to Obama reaches crescendo – the left will stop at nothing.
