Sure, I don't think that it's good that someone wants to punch the president for calling his father a liar, but then why isn't THIS story big news I wonder?

Recently, Twitter users began posting comments saying that if President Obama loses reelection next month that they would riot. The posts, written in terribly poor English and at times difficult to read, have been posted by thousands of different Twitter users, all of whom have posted various times in the past, proving that the posts are from real people and not fake accounts.
The reason for the calls for violence is apparently because these users believe that Romney will end welfare programs.
Here is a short list of the numerous posts which were collected by Paul Joseph Watson:
?If obama dont get re-elected & romney wins .. on life every white persons getting pistol whipped and im startin a riot.?
?If Obama don?t win lets start a riot so Romney know what he?s getting himself into.?
?You know you ain?t sh-t if you gotta 'MAKE' Mafukas vote for ROMNEY ! ?. Mannnn OBAMA better get back in office . Or BLACK FOLKS will riot.?
"If Romney wins im goin on a rampage.?
?If Mitt Romney wins the election I think its our duties as Black folks to riot and f-k sh-t up.?
The calls for violence don?t end with just wanting to riot. Obama supporters on Twitter have also begun calling for the assassination of Romney. Twitchy collected a number of these threats and posted them on Sunday.
?Kick starter Campaign to assassinate Romney if he wins 2012.?
?If Romney becomes pres ill assassinate him myself!?Ohana?
?I swear if Mitt Romney becomes president, I'm gonna be the one to assassinate his ass!!!"
?If Mitt Romney win imma assassinate him ..!!?
Many more have appeared since Twichy?s report. After Tuesday night?s debate, further calls for assassination appeared. Twitchy again collected many of them.
?Yall ready to assasinate romney ?"
?I'm gonna murder Romney right now?
?Somebody needs to asassinate This mofo Romney?
?goodnight yall .. cause im getting ready to murder romney !?
No repercussions have come to these posters, even though people who make negative remarks about Obama will get visits from the Secret Service.
Further, it?s apparently racist to point out these calls for violence. After the Drudge Report posted stories from InfoWars about these tweets, left-wing group Think Progress accused the Web sites of ?stirring up...(a) race-baiting conspiracy theory,? seemingly ignoring the actual comments from the Twitter users. According to Think Progress, InfoWars has been saying that black people will riot, which is not what the Web site's writers have said, and the people who have been posting these tweets are both black and white. Apparently, the people in the wrong aren?t those calling for violence but those calling them out for it."
