Want to bet that the "sniper rifle" was nothing more than a scoped hunting rifle?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it even had an orange tip.

The Mail is reporting it was a racist plot and that one wore a Nazi ring

Four held over 'white supremacist gun plot to assassinate Barack Obama

[ncalburt]

Again this is old news , there was no credible threat but the Obama media will milk this phony story for all its worth.The obama media includes Fox News which seems to have shifted into the Obama category ! Brit Hume has become a pathetic Obama cheerleader !

Suspects: Nathan Johnson, Tharin Gartrell and Shawn Adolf

"We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," Eid said in a statement.

DENVER (AP) - Authorities are investigating whether a man arrested with rifles, ammunition and drugs in his truck made statements threatening Barack Obama, but emphasize he never posed a “credible threat” to the candidate or the Democratic National Convention. Federal and local authorities had scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon, but U.S. Attorney Troy Eid downplayed the case. “We’re absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado,” Eid said in a statement.

Three morons, two rifles and some methamphetamine is now an assassination plot? They may be very dangerous, but not to Obama.

Anybody want to bet that none of the threats against Bush or McCain in the upcoming week will make the news?

[Crusher138]

No one, NO ONE should threaten or plan injury or death to ANY candidate. That being said...

It seems to me that the one who would benefit most from Obama being assassinated BEFORE the election is Hillary. The outrage would galvanize the Democrat party and they would nominate her and steamroll McCain in the fall.

After the election, should Obama win (God forbid) an assassination would make Biden president, and usher in another error of martyr worship that would make what happened after the Kennedy assassination seem almost dismissive. The Obama Center for the Arts, Obaman High School, the National Day of Obama Remembrance...

Morbid speculation, but some Democrats would seem to be the only ones to “benefit” from anything happening to Obama. I would think the Republicans would want to chip in towards Obama’s security detail, at least until the election.

Maybe they were worried about him “cutting in on their action” when he got to Denver?

I guarantee it.

Want to bet that the "sniper rifle" was nothing more than a scoped hunting rifle?

If they'd thought about it first they would have identified it as an semi-automatic assault sniper rifle. Incorporate all their bugaboos in one weapon.

By the time these geniuses figured out how to load the rifle, the convention would be over. In any event, now the media is out to prove that racism meme, whether there is any proof or not. Three white losers with drugs and a gun...an obvious, racially motivated assassination plot.
