BREAKING NEWS: Plot to Assassinate Obama Uncovered
by Big Dog on Aug 25, 2008 at 23:06 Political
Police in Denver say that a traffic stop might have averted an assassination attempt on Barack Obama. Police have four people in custody on weapons and drug charges and if this is true, other charges will come.
The group had rifles, camouflage clothing, and claim to have sighted the rifles from 750 yards. They stated they were going to kill Obama while he was giving his acceptance speech.
The police report that one of the persons was believed to belong to a white supremacist group.
I am glad they caught these guys. There is no place in our country for this kind of stuff and I hope these idiots go to jail for a very long time. I do have to wonder why they admitted their plot. All they had to do was say they received the rifles for some of the drugs and they would not be in nearly as much trouble as they are now.
I hope the cops have a handle on this. Unlike the left, who would love to see Republicans assassinated, I do not want to see this happen to anyone. It would be a tragedy. It would also set off the biggest riots in history and we don’t need that.
It only takes a few idiots to cause trouble. Good thing the police were alert. With all the morons protesting there this could have slipped through the cracks and caused a real problem.

“Unlike the left, who would love to see Republicans assassinated, I do not want to see this happen to anyone. It would be a tragedy. It would also set off the biggest riots in history and we don’t need that.”
Not this Lefty. I don’t want anyone assassinated. Dog couldn’t help but slip a riot prediction in his post. This is probable if Obama were to be gunned down, though I doubt Dog would worry too much if a repubber president or candidate was shot. A white supremacist or two would surely attempt to gain some sickening “revenge” in this scenario but Dog would never bring that up. He can’t help himself when the opportunity presents itself to scare the sh!t out of voters as long as they then vote (r)epuke as a result. Be afraid America, he says. Typical fear monger.
Most Liberals don’t want McCain shot, you flea infested mutt. Your claim that they do is ridiculous. Get a grip.
PEACE
Something about this doesn’t smell right.
Why fess up?
They are either mentally retarded or pigeons used by the left (Obama) to garner sympathy and rally the “troops”…
This just doesn’t smell right…
I never said that anyone wanted McCain shot. I do recall all the joy when Cheney has chest pains and the death watch that follows. I also recall when a grenade was found near President Bush. Lefties were only happy it did not kill him there (I think it was Georgia) or we would invade another country.
I have read many lefty blogs where they wish the President would meet his demise.
There would be a riot if Obama were shot. Look at history and you can see that. I also think if a white supremacist killed Obama the likely event would be revenge from a black militant group, not a WS group. If revenge even played into it.
So Bunny turd, get your facts straight.
You see, Bunny. Big Dog addressed the possibility that someone may have tried to kill a Democrat candidate with taste and kindness and a desire that the guilty go to prison for a very long time.
Then you, a liberal, enter with snide comments, denigrating Republicans who have done nothing to fan the flames. This is how things have become so eroded between the two major parties. It is impossible for a conservative to be nice to liberals – they’ll get spit on every last time! Frankly, I’ve just about had it with all the rudeness, filthy language, hateful comments, ridiculing of decent people, etc. It truly seems as if liberals LIVE for hate, DO NOT want peace within this country. Soapbox/off
I have to agree with Buffoon, something doesn’t jive here. Too much of this seems…manufactured, like some crackpot’s idea of what an assassination attempt against Obama would involve.
1) Alleged White Supremacist (Racism angle)
2) Camo clothing (perfect for an urban environment like Denver and Invesco Field right?)

3) Rifles sighted for 750 yards (The average Joe isn’t going to be hitting anything but the broad side of a barn from that far out. To hit something from that far out you need a good rifle and lots of practice, most people that shoot those distances and further have lots of time and money invested in the rifle, ammo, and other shooting equipment. Not to mention Obama probably wears a vest in such venues so a head shot would be required and that’s a tough target for the amateur shooter even at 300 yards.)
4) Admittance that they were plotting to kill Obama almost as soon as they were caught. You’d think if they had the brains involved to actually hit a target at 750 yards reliably (all the sharp shooters I’ve met at the range are pretty intelligent people) they’d at least have come up with a story in case they got caught.
Either they are a bunch of dumbasses that came up with some half-assed idea while high or they are a bunch of dumbasses that are looking to “rally the troops” by appearing to be an assassination plot. Either way they need to go to jail for a long time.
I’ll bet once professional analysis of the rifles and ammo is released (if it ever sees the light of day) it will show that they had a snow ball’s chance in hell of ever hitting Obama from 750 yards.
Not to mention that if you look at the picture of Invesco Field they’d have to get the rifles inside the stadium since they aren’t hitting him from the outside. Dressing in camo and carrying a gun case isn’t exactly inconspicuous at such an event. Especially when he’s surrounded by Secret Service and security is going to be tight if the DNC is any indication. So the chances of them shooting him during his acceptance speech are slim to none.
Also they’d have to have tickets to the event, which means they’d have to have done campaign work or donated money to the campaign, highly unlikely for a group of white supremacists.
Basically this “plot” had a big fat 0 chance of successfully happening as described by the media. The only thing it does is give the Dems and race baiters ammo for their cries of a racist America and something to sensationalize in the media to win sympathy for Obama.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
“Unlike the left, who would love to see Republicans assassinated, I do not want to see this happen to anyone.”
Oh brother. Here it goes again. I love your double standard here. Why don’t you just outright say what you seem to imply. With Republicans it’s only the kooks who cheer Democratic deaths and the mainstream that oppose it. With Democrats it’s the mainstream that cheers Republican deaths and the kooks that oppose it.
Racist. Just kidding…
“With Republicans it’s only the kooks who cheer Democratic deaths and the mainstream that oppose it. With Democrats it’s the mainstream that cheers Republican deaths and the kooks that oppose it.”
Sounds about spot on to me.

Confederate Yankee has a good take on this story.
I don’t have to say it, you did it so eloquently.
And I was not racist, I was sexist…
Oh Lord.
Dog- “I also think if a white supremacist killed Obama the likely event would be revenge from a black militant group, not a WS group”
No sh!t genius. Too bad I was referring to the scenario involving MCCAIN being shot. Dude, I know some 8th graders with superior reading comprehension to yours. Please read what I say before you foolishly attempt to repute it.
WashUp- I have no time to address your “comments”. You ain’t on my level, sweetie. Try the Better Homes and Gardens website if you’re feeling down.
REASONless- “Sounds about spot on to me.”
Listen guy, you need to start spending less time on the internetS. “Mainstream Democrats” cheering republican deaths? You are delusional. Get yourself together. For the good of the w(r)ong wing wackosphere. Your “REASONing” doesn’t even make sense anymore. Good grief.
PEACE
You know…I have a feeling that if Bunny would refrain from throwing around immature insults (like the “8th graders with superior reading comprehension”, perhaps?) we all would be more inclined to actually listen to his opinions…
Interestingly, I never mentioned McCain of McCain getting assassinated so that says much about reading comprehension.
We might not have to worry about Bunny being rude any more.
