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.

Every 1 on here needs to seek Jehovah and Jesus. The time of the end is here and EVERY 1 taking part in this political government WILL be destroyed. No matter who becomes president nothing will change. Pay attention to the signs that were given in the Bible. Politics is of the Devil, so whoever takes a part is worshipping the devil. The end is near so you all should fear!

I know Tharin, not incredibly well, but hav hung out with him more than a few times, and alway saw him at a bar that the both of us are regulars at.. Honestly, I'm shocked, never have known him to be racist, NEVER, not even a hint of racism. He was always polite to me, never in a million years would I have thought he wold be arrested for something like his.. Drugs are evil. Now I'm worried abou my other friends who are close to him, hopefully none more that I know will be arrested.

Tis just shows we have a long way to go as a country. Close minded people are usually the ones responsible for abortion clinic attacks, Gay bashing and the likes.... what a shame.

An attempt on someone that is still a long way off from possibly taking office surprises me more, than the fact something like this has not happened in the past 7 years with another person that has a FAR less approval raging! NOT that that would be right either, just saying that it is surprising is all .

I think this is another trick made by Hussein camp to get more attention. Men with guns in Colorado don't care about him. Police is working, media is working, furious supporters is screaming. Don't worry! Much ado about nothing!

@SEEK TRUTH:

If you believe in Jehovah God and you are a true Jehovah's Witness, you wouldn't be on this website. You don't fool me. You should go back and read your own Holy Scriptures.

# 85, please look up your "meth addicts" info....jump out of a 4 story window? Ahh, yeah! Try a 14 story window - and the idiot lived!!!! My husband arrested a man that literally "peeled" out of his handcuffs while on meth - they guy ripped his hands to the bone getting out of handcuffs and couldn't have given a crap once he was arrested - he didn't want medical treatment (not for him or his common-law wife he had beat the crap out of because she took some money and bought Halloween costumes for the kids - my husband found the guy under the extended-stay hotel steps with a 40 oz beer, all pissed because his wife dared tried to give his kids a childhood). Go and Google "meth" you freaking idiot. Oh, and while you are at it, look up the guy THAT CUT HIS TONGUE OUT WITH A KNIFE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF METH/ Grow up and pop the bubble you are living in.

Michelle Obama's one ugly @ss chick! I'm not voting for any of these schmucks. But damn, what does Barack see in THAT thing? And why is Barack mak'n friendly with Joe Biden's wife? I think he wants some cream in his COFFEE, YA DIGGG?

If this country could murder JFK (a white man), then Barack's got no chance of lasting a full term in office before he's "tak'n out." They're all puppets and figure-heads for the NWO, anyway. All Presidents are expendable--as long as it furthers the "cause" of the elite Anglo-Saxon, Judeo-Christian, right-wing nut bags.

All this really does is makes me want to campaign harder for Obama in my town. I think it is high time that we have change in this country. I think that if Obama is president then a lot of fields will begin to be level meaning that the middle class will rise again. I also think that is time that we have someone that doesn't look the like the majority to take control of the White House. Maybe we Americans will become more intellectual, and seekers of knowledge and not just here for entertainment purposes.
