re: #4 EPR-radar

Can you imagine the wingnut rage if Obama were to dust off this fine warning from Andrew Jackson to a South Carolina congressman regarding nullification:

If Obama said that, radio hosts would be openly calling for his assassination. And saying that would make a shooting incident almost inevitable. It still wouldn’t be Obama’s fault, but the level of fear and anger generated would be such that it would be highly likely someone would decide it was time to “start the revolution and kill federal officials”.

Which is why Obama will not say anything about this. Neither will Eric Holder. It’s below their pay grade right now and neither one wants to set off the wingnuts’ race panic if that can be avoided (without caving in, it should go without saying).
