Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do you Know Why?
There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?
1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.
Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

My thoughts exactly. If Obama wasn’t there, how could it be an assassination attempt? It seems that all he would have to say is “I knew he wasn’t there.” “I was just shooting at the building.” Not that anyone would believe him.

Obama votes “not present” and gets shot at!!!!!!
To: jazusamo; fatima
It seems he fired from his vehicle after getting in range of the WH. He fired from 700 yards away which is outside the effective range of an AK 47 (or its copies).
On the night of the shooting, the president was traveling and not in the White House. According to a law-enforcement official, a witness in an airport shuttle van saw a Honda Accord stop on Constitution Avenue and fire a burst of shots out the passenger window toward the White House more than 700 yards away. The car sped away and was abandoned several blocks down the road. Authorities said Mr. Ortega-Hernandez is one of the listed owners of the car.

Rush played a clip of someone in occupation San Diego requested a moment of silence for the shooter.
Doesn’t that mean they (at least the requester) are backing the shooter and are just as guilty in a ‘plot’?
Also, I find it somewhat ‘amusing’ when one of these nut jobs are caught and their repertoire includes ‘21 years old, with several run ins with the law and a long long history of being mentally unbalanced’
uh...at 21 you shouldn’t be in ‘public’ with that kind of ‘sheet’.

Thanks. I hadn’t read the range but 700 plus yards for the 7.62 x 39 is a fur piece, it was an accident he hit a window. It’s still fortunate he didn’t hit someone outside.

bad choice of word - makes it seem like he (they) have a job.
I meant to say ‘occupied’ and, I might add, I do NOT use the word ‘occupied’ reverently.

Hispanic? So much for right-wing neo-Nazi gun nut theory. Does the MSM have any other script?

Yep, names don’t come much more Hispanic than that and I doubt seriously if the neo-Nazis in Idaho have welcomed him to their fold.

Maybe he’s a Cuban ex-patriate, in which case the neo-Nazi spin is back on.
