People have criticised me because my security detail is larger than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ever since Obama's election team and media thugs made me famous for asking a simple question in 2008, I've had more than my share of death threats by people who are by definition at least a little crazy.
And by the way I don't object if people want to attack me, that's their right. All I'm suggesting that it's not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.
I was extended secret service protection during my presidential run in 1984, when I received the most death threats ever made toward a candidate.
If I am a Republican shill, wouldn't you think I am the least amount of a threat to the president?
When you are running for the presidency of the United States, you have to expect that you are going to have attacks by all sides.
I am not made for politics because I am incapable of wanting or accepting the death of the adversary.
For people who may think they know, or have snippets of who I am, you can attack that person. That's part of being a public figure.
Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.
The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can't make snap decisions. You can't have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.
I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me.
