The closer we get to the election, the more visibly desperate and racist the hard right opposition to President Obama becomes.

The latest example comes from Tennessee where state Rep. Kelly Keisling (R) is telling his constituents he believes President Obama plans to fake his own assassination and declare marshall law all to avoid an election against Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

The communications came in an email sent from a government email address in his office. Keisling forwarded the email along with a warning that the President is coordinating the rouse with the Department of Homeland Security. According to The Huffington Post, the rumor was apparently started by a Florida-based conservative blogger, and was based on an article written by Doug Hammon and posted on CanadaFreePress.com.
