Obama Assassination Plot?

A Denver TV station is reporting authorities may have foiled an assassination plot against Barack Obama, and there's talk the suspects may be members of a white supremacy group.

KUSA-TV claims three men are in custody after a routine traffic stop in Aurora (near Denver) turned up two rifles, high-powered scopes, ammo and meth. The man in the car led authorities to a hotel where another suspect jumped out of a fourth floor window in an attempt to escape.

A third guy was busted at another hotel but the info on him is sketchy.

The arrests went down yesterday. The TV station says sources said "Two of the men had tattoos and jewelry popular with white supremacists."

The mugshot inset in the photo is of one of the suspects, Tharin Gartrell.

Story developing...

136. Whatever finally does happen to Obama won't matter anyway, as he has no chances or hopes of winning a Presidency. His not winning anything is now the national policy of America and it comes to no ones surprise.

137. U know im waiting on something bad to happen, an assassination or a botched election like the 2000 election. Yall seen the LA riots? MLK riots? This aint going to have nothing on them. I would officially call this country a piece of S***. Dont people realize that Obama is a minority which means he has to and will try very hard to do a good job in office and he will be better than any other president because of it. How could you not want a guy who is very well spoken and appeals to most americans to be the leader of this country. The people hating on him need to wake up and realize that this aint the 60's. Black people can lead this country just as well or better than the past White presidents. It is very very sad that people still act the way they do. White supremesist need to give it up or get exiled to an island, or our gagns need to start targeting them. Why are yall hiding anyway?

138. I can't believe some of the ignorant posts I am seeing on this blog, how can people think this is just a ploy to get sympathy for Obama, it is also known the Kennedy was assasinated because he wanted change for minorities in the U.S. Yes, Barak was not in Denver yesterday but due there on Thursday, not becuase the Feds found the potential assasins yesterday means they were going to shoot Barack then...people wake up, forget your personal racists and political beliefs and realize that there are racists people out there who do not want a black president....God bless Barack and his family!

139. we can probably dicount a high-level conspiracy here, since the high-level conspirascy involves Obama backer Zbigniew Brezinsky (sorry for the misspelling - but I can still spell Ahmadjinead and Saashkavili) and some other New World Order war nuts. Anyway, let's all focus on those 35,000 white Afrikaaners who have been butchered in their homes since the blacks came to power in South Africa in 1994 and broke their promise to treat whites with magnanimity. Here's to fee speech, folks. So....kudos to sentiment - well-based - against prospective black leadership, but these three guys with the jewelry sticking out from various bodily appendages aren't my ideal of model patriots.

140. Angry person...while you do make some interesting reading you forgot one very important thing....OBAMA IS EXTREMELY RACIST.

141. All of you Obama supporters please leave the country immediately don't pull an Alec Baldwin just go! Why would you support someone who wants to raise taxes on everyone! Not just the poor, everyone. If you have a work 401k pay twice the tax under Obama. If you own stock twice the tax. If you make over 100K which isn't rich by any means in California of most of the US you will pay 12% on every dollar you make over to Social Security, something that we most likely will never see a dime of. It's broke.

The politics of change are a smoke screen, a magic trick, misdirection. Obama has no real policy changes that will help the economy. Lets look. Higher taxes in this economy-less money in the workers pocket-less spending=slower economy. It's simple economics. He wants to talk of change and while his supporters are cheering they never realize that the change he is talking about hurts the middle class.

Explain this, why is it that if the Bush cuts benefit the rich that the top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of all federal taxes in 2007 vs. 37% in 2000 before the tax cuts? Are you so uninformed that you don't realize how great a country the United States is.

Obama is an extremist who is a borderline socialist. If you want that then leave the country and move to Cuba or Venezuela. If you want to keep more of your paycheck to ibuy a house and purchase stock to invest in your own future you must vote choose McCain. Why would you trust the government with your future? They have pushed Social Security to the brink of collapse.

Don't we owe it to ourselves to put our futures in our own hands?

Do you really think Obama is in touch with the middle class or the poor? He help funnel state money to a slumlord who failed to heat his building or even build them to code. Obama talks about John McCains wealth like it's a bad thing, why is it bad to be successful. And please I would love to hear answers to that. Remember Obama made 4 million dollars last year and 4 million the year before so how in touch is he with the middle or lower class?

So remember this change= more government power, higher taxes and slower growth for small businesses in this country.

One last thing Warren Buffet is a huge supporter of Obama. Warren Buffet is the wealthiest man in the world who had the benefit of those low capital gains taxes. I would guess it is a lott easier to call for higher taxes when you are sitting on a fortune of 50+billion. I would guess he would change his tune if the higher taxes were retroactive for even the last eight years.

Don't be fooled, Obama is bad for the nation, period.

Any intelligent responses are welcome. I am open for debate but the facts are the facts.

142. Well Said Vincent!! Oh and "DeezNutz" pictures don't lie.

143. GREAT comment Vincent! The bottom line is that noone really puts enough effort into actually educating themselves on the canidates and what they will do for this country - it is solely a popularity contest - it may as well be a beauty pagent. I am white, and if I do not want to elect Obama, then I am racist. I am no longer allowed my opinion in this country if it does not cater to a minority. I will be labeled a racist, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of ones skin. That's the long and short of it. I do not support Obama for all of the reasons you listed, and more. I am proud of my country, and I hate to think of it falling under the control of someone as unqualified as Obama. Wake up people!!!!!

144. NEWSFLASH!!!........The latest polls indicate that Obama is killing himself. He doesn't need anyone else to do it !!!

146. I am a long standing/voting Democrat, I have had the privilege of voting in the last four Presidential elections (my candidate won twice!). The best President in my lifetime, thusfar, has been William Jefferson Clinton. The best the right-wingers could get on him is sex scandals (imagine if JFK lived in the time of our media and snitches!), and land deals (didn't the current VP own huge stock in war profitting companies??).

Sadly, this year, I will not be voting at all. I respect McCain's choice to stay at the Hanoi Hilton with his men, when given the chance to go home (I would have been on the plane), but his policies are a little similiar to the last eight years of clusterf*ck that we have endured. I know my non-vote is basically a Republican vote, there are many people like me in the country, that is probably what will get McCain elected.

The reason I am not voting for Obama Bin Laden is not because of the color of his skin. It is because his affiliation with several known terrorists, his attending school at the Jihad Baby Training camp (he only went to Catholic School for two years, as far as I have read, yet that is what he claims for education), and because of his incredulous attatcks on McCains wealth (the guy made ten MILLION plus in the last three years!!!!). If Barak's name was Tyler Washington, or Samuel Jefferson, it might be possible to have a chance. In this post false flag terrorist attack era, his name instantly brings to mind "the Enemy".

In closing, no meth addicts have ever assasinated any one in power, so this is a sympathy story to garner support for "the chosen Muslim". The NWO will not make a move unless he is elected, killing him before would make him a martyr, with everyone saying "Oh, he would have won, what a tradgedy..."

THE TERRORISTS PROMISED THAT THE NEXT ATTACK ON AMERICA WOULD COME FROM WITHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

147. Hi

Great political stunt, who thinks this rubbish up? These so-called suspects don't look like they have a brain between them.

Personally I don't care what happens to politicians White or Black because none of them ever put their policies before a referendum of the people, the just do what they like.

Rest assured Obama will be assasinated and just like Kennedy they won't find the killers, only another passie.

148. Everyone already knows that if Obama loses the race card will be pulled...Be prepared!

149. Listen people...

Race as we know it is a myth, a social construct. A social
construction or social construct is any phenomenon "invented" or
"constructed" by participants in a culture or society, existing
because people agree to behave as if it exists or follow certain
conventional rules. "The Social Construction of Reality" (1966).
