'We won't stand for threats of this kind in Colorado.' (Bush appointee's hypocrisy)

Found at Citizens For Legitimate Government

New details about plot to kill Obama --U.S. Attorney for Colorado Troy Eid - a 2006 Bush appointee - refused to prosecute 3 for elaborate Obama assassination plot, but is prosecuting fully the man who sent non-hazardous powder and threatening letter to McCain 03 Sep 2008 9Wants to Know has learned three men in Denver discussed assassinating U.S. Sen. Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera. Nathan Johnson's girlfriend, whom 9NEWS is not naming because she's a juvenile, said "it would have to be a suicide mission," according to federal court records. Johnson, Shawn Adolf and Tharin Gartrell all thought that Obama had a suite in the third floor of the Hyatt hotel, where they were staying. The men were doing methamphetamine inside the hotel with two women on Aug. 23 discussing the plot to kill Obama, according to federal records. Adolf said, "It would not matter if he killed Senator Obama because police would simply add a murder charge to his pending charges," according to the records. There were seven outstanding warrants for Adolf's arrest... Based on the evidence, FBI special agent Robert Sawyer first believed there was probable cause to believe the men were conspiring to kill Obama. However, U.S. Attorney Troy Eid last week said that further investigation revealed insufficient evidence to indicate a "true threat," plot or conspiracy against the senator. The men were charged with various weapons and/or drug charges.

Man Who Wrote McCain Letter Explains Actions --Marc Ramsey Says He Was Concerned About His Viet Vet Father 22 Aug 2008 The man accused of sending a threatening letter to John McCain through McCain's Colorado headquarters office detailed the contents of his letter in an exclusive interview with 7NEWS Friday. Marc Ramsey, an inmate in the Arapahoe County Jail, admitted that he sent the letter. Ramsey told 7NEWS he wanted to tell McCain about his father -- a Vietnam war veteran who is served at the same time as McCain, and who is suffering from two types of cancer. On Friday afternoon, US Attorney Troy Eid announced Ramsey will be charged with knowingly threatening to harm or kill through the U.S. mail. The charge is punishable up to five years in federal prison and up to $250,000 fines. "We won't stand for threats (to Republicans) of this kind in Colorado," Eid said. "A death threat is not a legitimate form of political expression," Eid said. (Translation of Eid: An actual *assassination* is good to go --as long as the target is Barack Obama.)

this makes me angry...

...at a bar told a joke about "a burning bush" and was found guilty of threatening the
president (sic).'
