MattyT Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Surprised this isn't being taken more seriously.... http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?sto...3&catid=188 Fox is the only one that even had it on the home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Fox is the only one that even had it on the home page. That's cause the DNC news outlets are helping to cover up the Clintons' involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finknottle Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 In the blogosphere the assassination attempt is being discussed as conclusive - I'm guessing that the mainstream news is holding back becuase there isn't anything substantial yet as to there actually being a plot. It sounds like nothing more than some guys with guns, going about their meth-lab business, and when one was questioned he said something about Obama and the convention in an attempt to explain their presense in Denver... But who knows - it's early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 It just seems like a dude making threats against Obama, driving around an urban part of CO in a rented truck with two rifles, boxes of ammunition, one rifle scope, a bullet proof vest, walkie-talkies and methamphetamines is something that should be garnering more attention. From the article: "He's just a total goofball. He's always smiling and making jokes, he's a big talker," said Victor Gomez, Kazmos Lounge owner. Are you kidding me?!

Chef Jim Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm telling you there is a huge portion of this country that is not ready for a blac president. And that's just sad but if I were Obama or his family I would be very concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I heard these guys were arrested about 10 miles from downtown, near where the tornado hit the other day. Nowhere near downtown Denver. Tweakers can't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near downtown Denver. Tweakers can't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. 10 miles isn't that far. I don't know exactly where the guy with the guns was pulled over, but he was arrested by Aurora Police. Looks pretty close to Denver to me unless they were outside their jurisdiction. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=au...=1&ct=title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's just sad but if I were Obama or his family I would be very concerned. Maybe not, but I doubt most of them would resort to violence. But I still wouldn't expect Obama to survive a full term. It only takes one nut job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah this is a big deal. I really think that guy has a lot of hate against him for various reasons. He's going to end up being the next JFK if he's not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The reports made it sound like they caught the guys outside the convention, but they were in the suburbs. Probably just Tweakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody seems to care about blacks being rich; or governors or mayors or congressmen or cabinet members or supreme court judges; or sports, movie and music stars; or doctors, lawyers, scientists, or accountants; or chiefs of police or school superintendents. So where are these people, and why aren't they shooting up their state assemblies now? Is it just the idea of a president that will prompt action?

So where are these people, and why aren't they shooting up their state assemblies now? Is it just the idea of a president that will prompt action? In small towns in West Virginia. I think the logic of those neandertals goes like this: You can't kill every black, so you have to pick your battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You don't get out much do you? The only place I hear that is among my leftist friends fanning the cause of injustice. I know people who think blacks (hispanics, asians, men, whatever) are lazy (litter, can't drive, sexist, whatever) but I have yet to meet anybody whose prejudicial generalization doesn't take a backseat to indifference. But keep the myth alive, we are one president away from donning our white sheets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you've never sat and chatted with anyone who has hatred to those not white doesn't mean they don't exist. This thread shows that they in fact do. I don't think it's a myth at all.

Clinton, Bill Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 No charges on the assassination plot. the guys got busted for the meth though. Was just a tweeker being parinoid. I've still got a lot of pull in DOJ. Sh%$, though, I told him. "Wait until after you shoot the MFer. Then we can celebrate with the drugs." Now I'm gonna have to find someone else.

This thread shows that they in fact do. I don't think it's a myth at all. On the contrary, this thread shows no such thing. It only has yourself and a few others insisting that racism is alive and well and ready to kill Obama. You havn't given anything to support that claim. You are doing precisely what I said - banging the drums of fear to validate your own skewed view of the country. When was the last time there was an assassination attempt on a high-profile figure in this country because of his race? Frankly, when you suggest that you have "sat and chatted with anyone who has hatred to those not white," and imply that their prejudice is strong enough to make them take action, I rather think you are making it up.
