Despite the issue receiving national media attention, Obama supporters continue to threaten to riot if Mitt Romney wins the presidential election, raising the prospect of civil unrest if Obama fails to secure a second term.
The new threats continue to dominate Twitter and the vast majority make no reference to press coverage of the issue over the last week, illustrating the fact that they are a legitimate expression of how many Obama voters plan to respond if Romney comes out on top, and not merely a reaction to media hype.
Examples of what people are saying include the following;
"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."
"If Romney wins im goin on a rampage."
"If every action IS met with an equal and opposite reaction ..what should workers do to employers if Romney’s elected? #Riot in the streets!!"
"If Romney becomes president let’s all start a riot."
"I Heard Mitt Romney , Tryna Take Away Food Stamps , If He Do ."IMA START A RIOT , IMA START A RIOT."
"If romney wins, imma start a mf’n riot! Rns."
Although most of the individuals posting the messages don’t even attempt to justify why they plan to riot, others have pointed to fears about a Romney administration withdrawing or limiting government handouts.

For Every 1 Person Added To Labor Force Since January 2009," the chart reads, "10 People Added To Those Not In Labor Force."
That is, in nearly the four years, since President Obama took office in January 2009, only 827,000 people have been added to the labor force, while during that same time period, 8,208,000 have been added to those not in the labor force.
The chart relies on data available from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee concludes, "These figures reveal several troubling trends: That the jobs market is not keeping pace with U.S. population growth; that not enough younger Americans are joining the labor force to account for retirement among an ageing population; and that a large number of workers have become so discouraged that they simply stopped looking for work and left the labor force entirely.

There are thousands of reasons not to dunk one's head into a bucket of urine, but a man in Cleveland found 450 reasons to take the plunge.
The man, whose name is "Phil," accepted a bet at a Cleveland Browns tailgate party yesterday that required him to stick his noggin into a nearly full bucket of pee that was gathered from bystanders.
Despite cries of "Don't do it, Phil!" the man stuck to his guns, girded his loins and, as the stream of YouTube videos that immortalized the event demonstrate, became $450 richer -- and the envy of absolutely no one.
The visceral appeal of a grown man dunking his head into urine is undeniable, but DeadSpin columnist Barry Petchetsky
is pissed by the lack of information streaming out about the event.
"How many people and how long did it take to fill up a five-gallon bucket with urine? Which poor bastard had to sit next to this guy during the game?" he wrote.

It's the little things that matter.
At least that's the case in a Denmark-based competition that is offering an iPhone to the man with the smallest penis.
The contest is sponsored by erotica website Singlesex.dk, and site owner Morten Fabricius admits the idea is "weird and funny and almost too much."
"It’s a competition which is
at the core of manhood, the most important thing for a man ," he said, according to RawStory.com. "There are so many unhappy men out there, who think you have to have a giant penis, but it’s not normal to have a huge one."
Contestants are asked to send a photo to the website of their erect sex organ with measuring tape next to it.
The man with the smallest penis will win an iPhone, as will another fellow who will be chosen by the site's female, er, members. Guys who come in second and third place will get an iPad.
