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.

I know this guy..in fact..if you loko on his myspace page...there's a flyer of a party we dj'd together....Tharin may have been involved with some sort of drug deal..but I know this guy..he is NOT the type to try and assassinate anyone..this is media twisting the facts due to the DNC being in denver
Skin color IS NOT the issue! Muslim connections, LARGE foreign donations to the campaign fund. and severe lack of real political experience are ALL HUGE negatives related to this "candidate".
The only reason he got the nomination is BECAUSE he is black and most blacks will back ANYONE who they identify with, whether they are qualified or NOT!
How can ANYONE who has a total of 143 days attendance at his political job be qualified to run the entire country?
The inmates will be running the asylum if this travesty becomes reality
Someone will succeed sooner or later, god willing. Don't give up, boys!
No wonder we have so many problems in our country. We do not work toward a common goal for a united & peaceful country. None of us have a choice to decide the color of our skin. I am a white woman who strongly supports change in America with a President who can communicate effectively with all countries and we are so fortunate to have that candidate in Barack Obama. Vote for your candidate but take the hate out of America and enjoy what life has to offer. I would love to see all these bad, kickin ass boys (never will they be men) sent over to Iraq to endure the heat and fatigues and loneliness in this senseless war. It makes me sick to be an American when they are Americans who speak with such hatred. You idiots are pulling our country down instead of working to turn it around and make it better. Get a grip on life and do something positive with your sick minds.
black, white, asian, latino
we all laugh at the same dumbass things, we all cry the same,we all bleed the freakin same,,,,,
who ever wrote this----"successful, intelligent, articulate, and educated Black man." ---yer THE BLACKNESS OF THis DUDE should have nothing to do with this election.
who cares about anything anyways.....
they dont even care about this country falling into the hands of and american who knows what to do with this crisis we face today we want a change and we want it NOW
I wonder why some people want to assassinate the to-be president of the U.S.
it's rather appalling and i advise all who plan of doing similar thing to avoid any misfortunates.
BARACK OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!
At first, I really thought that this was some kind of scheme thought up by the government, that would make people not want to vote for Obama and that sorry ass Mccain could win the election and I didnt think that was right and i didnt think that it was fair. Now after reading more about it, I'm thinkin, this just might be real and I also think it's jsut so pathetic that in this day and age, of the 21st century, we still have billions af people who are still racists. I think its about time these people grew up becuz this is truly pathetic. I'm with Julia on this one. I cant keep standing around a bunch of ignorant people who refuse to live in the present say and realize that, we're too old and to great of a developed and to great of a country to still be living racistly
AMERICA NEEDS ANOTHER BRAVE HERO LIKE MR. JAMES EARL RAY, WHO BY THE WAY DID AMERICA A TREMENDOUS FAVOR. GOD PLEASE SEND ANOTHER LIKE MR. JAMES EARL RAY BEFORE IT TOO LATE FOR AMERICA.
