Currently, the far right holds the most bigoted sections of our population. So when presented with the image of an individual with a different ancestry than their own it fuels the core of their fears.

This didn't happen in the last 3 democratic presidents because Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Lydon Johnson were all white southerners, which tends not to set off the *alarms* of most of the countries cores of bigotry. Obama is not a white southerner, so the fear, paranoia, and hate arises more vehemetly than in the previous 40 decades.

What did not happen with the last three democratic presidents?

' Acts of violence against abortion clinics and their employees have been carried out across the United States throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
There were 1,700 acts of violence against abortion providers between 1977 and 1994, with four people killed in 1994 and one in 1993, according to statistics from the National Abortion Federation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has logged 167 attacks against abortion clinics over the past 15 years.
In 1984, there were 18 bombings against abortion clinics. In 1993, there were 78 death threats aimed at clinic employees. And, in 1996, bombings, threats and harassment affected about one-third of U.S. abortion clinics.'

The OK City Fed Bldg was bombed during the Clinton Administration. This has nothing to do with Obama and being black. Nothing new here. The only difference is these media folks are now accessible by email such as Shepard Smith. So, of course it seems more than normal when it really has not changed at all over the years.
