Plot to kill Obama has been uncovered!
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 10:10 PM by thewiseguy
Denver police has arrested at least 4 people in connection with a plot to assasinate Barack Obama during his acceptance speech on Thursday. These people are believed to be members of a white supremacy group.


Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say the man broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later. Sources say he was wearing a ring with a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.


Here is a picture from one of the suspects:



The rifles were sighted at 750 yards. Looks like these bastards were pretty serious about what they were about to do.
:scared:

16. According to CBS:
The Secret Service, FBI, ATF and the joint terrorism task force are all investigating the alleged plot.

The suspects have already confessed that they had came to Denver to shoot Obama.

20. There are so many of these crazy bastards out there.
And all of them listen to Limpballs and Savage and Hannity. The RW fires them up and gives them a sense of their own legitimacy. After this the Secret Service should TRIPLE the protection they are providing Sen Obama.

24. Update: According to NBC news federal officials are downplaying this news!
According to the federal official: "It looks like one guy just made a remark trying to act important"

However other sources are telling NBC news the men might be conntected to the skinheads and that it appears that they were involved in an assasination plot.

32. That federal official needs to be fired immediately
You have 4 white supremacists under arrest with bullet proof vests, sniper rifles, and scopes! One of the suspects tried to jump off a 6th floor window and broke his ankle.

This is no joke. The fucker is downplaying this? :puke:

Do they think this is a publicity stunt? Assholes.

Seems like a wise idea to me.

33. We all have to be vigilant for shit like this
If I had ever said half of things about Bush or McCain that I have heard the "upstanding right" say about Obama- I would be in jail or dead- or waterboarded. Protect our next president!
