Obama Assassination Attempt Stopped
CBS4 has learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges.
CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass reported one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle … sighted at 750 yards."
Law enforcement sources tell Maass that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."
The story began emerging Sunday morning when Aurora police arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. He was driving a rented pickup truck in an erratic manner according to sources.
Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, wigs, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and 44 grams of methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas...
Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, identified as Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say Adolph broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later. Sources say he had a handcuff ring and was wearing a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.

8.25.08 Urgent Priority
Urgent story lead for all veteran journalists in the US and abroad:
This is a professional inquiry. I just found this article in the daily online newspaper Israeli-Insider
and it is VERY disturbing. There are all kinds ofcimplications here. Ask your senior editor to have someone
look into this story more closely. This article (see link below) does not appear in USA media outlets, that I
could find, which I also find suspicious. I think the pro-Obama mainstream media here in the states is trying
to squelch the story. The future of our country is at stake here and this should not be taken lightly.
Here it is:

The story of an assassination attempt doesn't surprise me at all. In America that's often the solution, if you don't like someone, shoot 'em, if you're paranoid and afraid, carry a gun. I often write about guns on my blog and almost all of the commenters are passionate gun enthusiasts. Why is that?

"How long will it take another white man to make the world right??"
Oh, like the way Bush did?

Nazis give meth a bad rap.
The anti-Obama campaign is just starting to gear up. Why? Part because McCain has next to nothing to say. Part because white fat guys with an inferiority complex are realizing that he can really win.

How long will it take for everyone to grow the hell up? This racial mess is so 1955...get over it. Black ppl are just as capable as white ppl...it really doesn't make a difference what color you are...no one race is better than the other...what a black president could do for this country would benefit the WHOLE COUNTRY (white, black, pink or yellow) not just black ppl, you f^!in idiots! I mean really...kick rocks! It's a shame that grown ppl are so stupid...if you get offended then apparently you know you stupid.

"They better not touch one hair on his head. That would set this country back 50 years."
Yep. Absolutely. Very scary.

Lets see, if their actually was a threat on Obama and it was stopped, it had to be the Bush people that stopped it. The waterboarding probably made them confess.
And then who would gain most by this killing, not McCain, not Bush, but maybe Clinton.
So lets all thank Bush and then vote for McCain!

WOW! This has GOT to be a JOKE!...It sounds like a Joke...it reads like a Joke..and SIX FLOORS? What? is this guy BIONIC? A "broken Ankle" that has GOT to be some kind of world record..that's over 70 feet..if you hit WATER at 70' you almost alway's..DIE! I work in an ER Unit in Northern Cal..we deal with..TONS of speed cases..and as stated above..this one is actually giving speed a BAD NAME...and we had a guy jump off the 3rd story observation ward...and broke BOTH legs and his hip..and he was YOUNG and Athletic and "...HIGH as a Mother******..." as they say...so maybe it was a freak landing..but..
And too..750 yards? That is ALMOST a HALF MILE...on SPEED? are you KIDDING? you can barely see straight on ONE night of speed..blurred vision is a MAINSTAY of Amphetamine use...REAL blurry..not a little a LOT!
So...this is...written by omeone with..imagination and...something else..but little actual.."EXPERIENCE" in the world(s) he/she is using for..."color"...no pun intended...
And finally..as they say.ONCE is happenstance, TWICE is Coincidence..THREE TIMES is ENEMY ACTION...and for me..the "third item" of...incredulity..is the last name of..."ADOLPH" i mean C'MON MAN!...that is ONE TOO MANY....just TOO perfect..'ADOLPH'...ahhhhhahahahaha...that IS funny..i bet he even has a TOOTHBRUSH MUSTACHE....no, seriously!
Yeah..this really has got to be some kind of..either PRANK..or..a weird kind of anger...I dunno..but it CANNOT be true..it just can't..it's...TOO weird..an TOO improbable..do the math...

Hey ectoendomezo,
I spent the better part of my adolescence jumping into water from a 70 foot cliff. I've never broken a single bone. You don't know what you're talking about.

Danielle - There are lots of people who think we were better off in the 50's - segregation, Cold War, no gays, glass ceiling, abortion ban...So, not a shock. That is where Rove, Dobson, Reed want to take this country and why they must be defeated.
ectoendomezo - It does not take a genius to hatch a plot. These guys are obviously come from a shallow gene pool! Dude, you are going to knock off a presidential candidate. Lay off the meth for a couple of days!

I am not surprised. In fact, I've been waiting for something like this to happen. Racism is so deeply ingrained in our society that it is sad. It is the alter-ego of our preferred self-image as a place of freedom and "be all you can be."
It will take forever to get into the stadium for the speech because of this, but I hope people will be glad to wait.
All that said, Joe Biden would kick John McCain's a$$ back to Cindy's ranch in Sedona.

The joke is on you. Speaking at a press conference, police said the men were drug addicts.
They said they were keeping an open mind about the investigation.
US Attorney Troy Eid said: "There is insufficient evidence that there was any kind of a plot or a threat but we'll keep an open mind as we look.
This was these druggies moment of fame. Police get this all the time, people want to get into the news.
Posted by: BillyBob on 08/26/08 at 6:40 PM Respond
Yeah if there was some truth to the attempt, the big news people would be on this like flies on S...! And you know that is a fact jack. The media are money grubbing, story hungry mongrels. They are worst than drug dealers. But as far as an attempt being made on Obamas life, I would not put it past white supremacists. They are anti US and take no political side. Whether you are democrat or republican does not matter, only color. There is very little in the way of intelligence when it comes to those wearing swastikas and racist garb. They have no life, no brains and no future. Hopefully one day, white supremacy will be looked on as nothing less than terrorism.

Hey Bill, so nice to see you old dinosaurs dieing off by the droves. Trust me, nobody will miss you.

Hey mahaffy,
Maybe you haven't had time to read the political studies. Our CHILDREN today are even MORE conservative that the parents...:-) What is dieing off is the 60's style "Hate America" attitudes. Except here in certian parts of California. If you read the data you will find that children, the NEXT generation, are much more in tune with traditional American values of the past.:-)
They WANT the 50's back..!!!

These guys are just typical delusional methheads. For a semi-humorous take on this story, check out my blog here:

I hope, however, that this alerts the Secret Service and reminds them to be extra vigilant. Obama is a special candidate, and our nation has a sad history of special candidates getting assassinated.

Bill, Frisco type people are not producing children like the red state people in the mid-west and the south. The future looks dismal for the libs. Look at Europe. That is the future of the libs, being ruled by Islam that will make quick work of them if they get out of line. Look at London.

It's incredible. You can see the prejudism even in the news. Take Glenn Beck for example. I think the only thing he's got left to say is, " I Hate freaking inmigrants and Black candidates" Glenn came from the sons of inmigrants as well. do I have to remind everyone that this land was robbed to a non white race? Do I have to remind that the "Blacks" didn't come here voluntarily? but by force. Racism is not only cruel, it's a sign of ignorance and lack of education. Thanks
