Obama Assassination Attempt Foiled
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
There sure are some crazies out there!
Currently, the FBI is investigating claims of an alleged assassination plot against Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
Four people were arrested near the Democratic convention in Denver. They were in possession of high-powered rifles.
Scary!!!
Nathan Johnson (pictured above on the right), is denying any involvement in the plot, but he did admit that his friends "were here to do that - to assassinate him."
Apparently, the plan was to shoot Obama "from a high vantage point … with a … rifle."
This all came about on Sunday, when police arrested 28 year-old Tharin Gartrell (above left), who was erratically driving a rented pickup truck.
That's where they found two high-powered rifles with telescopic sites. They also found walkie-talkies in his truck, along with camouflage clothing, a bulletproof vest, two wigs, a high-powered spotting scope, three IDs with unknown identities, and methamphetamine.
When Gartrell was accompanied to his hotel in Denver by the police, a second man, 33 year-old Shawn Robert Adolf, jumped out from a window and injured himself. He jumped from six-stories high.
Idiot!
Adolf broke his ankle after the fall, but was arrested shortly afterwards. He also had several outstanding warrants against him. And according to sources, he was also wearing a ring with a swastika on it and is believed to have connections to white supremacist organizations.
Johnson added that Gartell and Adolf "planned to kill Barack Obama at his acceptance speech." He said that his friends told him, Barack "don’t belong in political office – or blacks don’t belong in political office. He gotta be shot."
As for the fourth person arrested, it's an unidentified woman who was with Johnson though she is not believed to have any involvement with the plot, however other arrests are still a possibility.
US Attorney Troy Eid insisted that there was no clear danger to the candidates or convention delegates.
Eid said in a recent statement, “Federal law enforcement is working hand-in-glove with the Aurora Police Department. Because this matter is currently under investigation, there is little we can say right now. We can say this: We’re absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado."
And if Obama isn't doing so yet, we highly suggest he wear a bulletproof vest. And wear it all the time.
Re: alexis760 – THAT IS SO TRUE, HE'S PROBABLY A NEO NAZI!
omg whats wrong with people??? crazy fuckin hicks
If I were him, I'd never drive with the top down.
Yeah… So Obama was in Missouri when these morons made their attempt…he wasn't in Denver. Apparently they're not so well informed. Shocker.
I still cant get over the fact that Obama Biden looks to much like Osama Bin Laden
Re: HeebieJeebie – Trash plain and simple trash you are!!
Re: Sammy – Voting McCain to avoid possible bafoolery in the future is ridiculous. No matter who you are in politics, if you have power there's always gonna be some threat to you by someone. Grow a brain you idiot.
Re: Shelleybean – This isn't the first time and it wasn't the last.
I was under the impression that Obama was in a totally different state at that point. I guess the KKK doesnt have wireless internet or they could have figured that out with any news outlet.
It's always white trash on meth!!!!!
i would fuck the shit out of both of them.
nothing better than white power dick.
Fox News and all of it's racists, loud mouths help fuel this kind of behavior. They continue to make their already racist audience even more angry by talking trash about Obama every minute of the day. The whole network should be arrested.
That is so crazy. Those guys are sick.
Re: 3l$@ –
maybe you'll die first
If it were a McCain attempt, you'd be all for it and not worried at all.
Re: buck – Does anyone check facts before they write pure crap. You were obviously one of the millions that just watched the very short clip that said something that seems negative. WATCH THE WHOLE THING IDIOT!! It's not as serious as people like you make it seem. Thats very much choosing to hear a bit of a whole story. Shallow minded fool
Re: nickelpickle56 – Wow … and lets suppose he is muslim. Then we have you a "people loving, everyone is equal, christian" just oozing hate and ignorance. Unreal. It almost reminds me of Hitler and how he hated Jews, cause thats what u seriously give off, even if it is in a more subtle way.
Why can't we just wish that both of our presidential canidates be safe from harm? I'm an Obama supporter, but I don't want anything bad to happen to McCain. He seems like a nice guy.
Re: Squirrel – I am from the South too. FU NickySue, it's that kind of ignorance that breeds these people. Without you, this post wouldn't be up. FU and grow up. I agree squirrel, we've made more progress, and racism and rednecks are everywhere.
You know what I just noticed?
All the hate towards white supremacists.
I hate them too. But all he comments remind me of the comments they make…it is just turned around. We hate them because of these comments of theirs and their actions…why would we stoop to their level?
I still will I'm sure, but I just noticed that I guess.
Nasty Ass White Trash!!
Darn
Re: mishamisha – Nice Misha Misha calling people idoiots, I guess people with hatred like you are the ones these politicians should be afraid of. I just believe if Mccain becomes president there is less of a chance he gets killed, sadly we are used to having an old white man in the white house and many are ignorant in accepting change. I just think for the sake of not having an assasination attempt it would be safer form Mccain to be president.
Whoa, WHAT THE FUCK. This is absolutely depressing…
These 2 look like trailer trash inbreeding stock for sure, and is one of their names really Adolf HHAH HAA HHAA WTF!!!! I wonder who he might have been named after! if this wasn't so sick it'd be funny as fuck! straight out of central casting these 2!
Im a white woman, and im not racist at all. But when you hear of people, no matter what color they are, it just makes them look like white trash, and when you see african americans robbing or gang banging, it just makes them look ghetto- So no matter what- people are idiots and they make themselves look bad because they just prove our stereotypes to be true! These two are truely white trash retards. If they dont like Barack, that doesnt mean they have to kill him. People take politcs too seriously.
"ADOLF"…lovely name for your new born…almost as sweet as "SATAN"
Now don't they look like a couple of stand up citizens!
Re: nickelpickle56 – ATTENTION: BARACK OBAMA IS NOT MUSLIM. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.
Re: Laconic –
What is this prick going to change? Honestly? Every 4 years they talk and talk but once they get into office what do they do? Nothing they said they would. HELLO!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?! WAKE UP!?!?!?!??!?!?
Re: guilty of being white – Adolf iz a commen name here in San Antonio, it has nothing to do with Hitler
Re: Nickysue – Psh… whatever. I'm from the south, and I'm definitely voting for Obama. McCain can rot his old ass in hell for all I'm concerned.
It's still going to happen, hate to say it but it's going to. Our country isn't ready for a "black" president and there are thousands of people in the south that would agree. What is this, plot #2 already and he hasn't even been elected yet. If y'all anti-republicans out there want to make a martyr out of him, go ahead and elect him. Dude won't make it past 2010 unless he loses. Anyone who doesn't see it is being ignorant and stuborn. Wake up and smell the smog people.
THese guys are stupid. Barak Obama will make a great president, I can't wait!
LoL they can't even do it correctly. Not that I want them to, I like Obama, I'm just saying, the only people that want to assassinate him are stupid hicks and they aren't smart enough to pull it off. Fucking dumb ass hicks.
Re: HeebieJeebie – Funny, Perez never lets me right anything bad to you. Weird. Just go cough up a hairball or lick yourself or something.
Re: nickelpickle56 – If a muslim CONVERTS to christianity…they aren't muslim anymore you retard. Just like if you were atheist and decided to become christian…you aren't atheist anymore. Damn it, most of you guys need to get off the computer, go outside, and meet REAL people. GO TO SCHOOL. TRAVEL! Get an IQ higher than that of a kumquat!
Another thing! WTF is up with this country and appearances? Obama isn't even black technically! He is just as much white as he is black but just because he LOOKS more black than he does white, he is likely to be our "first black president"? No…he will be our first BI-RACIAL president….Why is it that american society makes people who are half black, half white just claim their blackness and ignore their whiteness?
SMFH! wow!! fuckin racist pigs!! it makes me sick to see this. i am white female and this is just disgusting. y dont they juss kill themselves instead?? the world would b a much better place without scum bags like that. HANG EM'!
Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (black muslim) of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. (white atheist ).
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro — a Muslim — moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Within six months he had learned to speak the Indonesian language. Obama spent "two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school" in Jakarta. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim.
Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two.
Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim.
Re: HeebieJeebie –
Tough shit if your not ready for a non white president. The rest of America cannot sit on their asses waiting for whites to give the "ok" for a non white president. It's a shame that in this day and age racism blinds Americans. America is no longer the melting pot of the fifties and I will vote for ANYONE I think will mak this country better be he black, white, Asian, Hispanic I do not care. Calling Obama Osama is played out and retarded. Your fear mongering is what cripple this country. Is America now home of the scared?!
Re: Tom993 –
OH GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE w/ your lame ass site!
Re: fairytalesofyesterday –
Thank the One Drop Rule and Plessy vs. Ferguson. It's still the law here so thanks for being open minded to that but this is America we are talking about.
Re: Tom993 –
Two assasination attempts and neither motivated by race? Last I checked these retards are racist KKK.

The Republican party is just full of these in-bred, backwoods, hillbillies. The first two letters in REpublican says it all!
I hope they get sent to prison and get raped by big Adebisi lookin guys with big MANDINGO dicks….
That crazy's will come out in full force if he becomes President, he'll need more than a bullet proof vest - they should invent a bullet proof bubble for him walk around in.
Re: nickelpickle56 –
First: STOP copying shit from urbanlegends.com LOL!
Second, since you want to post this bogus email, cite your source that Obama's father was a RADICAL Muslim.
For the record his father lost his faith and became an athiest, his father NEVER moved to Jakarta but to the US and attended Harvard before going back to Kenya.
Lastly, his younger years of education was supervised by his SECULAR athiest mother and he was RAISED by his Baptist Grandmother since he was 10 so please quit w/ the nonsens.
Oh BTW, You left off the end of that nosense email you pasted so I thought to include it for people w/ BRAINS to LAUGH AT:
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equevelancy to our Bible, but very different beliefs)
Re: Minx – OK WHETHER MY FACTS THAT I GOT WERE WRONG OR RIGHT YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT… WHO WANTS A MUSLIM….WHICH WE ARE IN WAR WITH.. AS THE PRESIDENT? I PERSONALLY DONT… AND IF HE WAS RAISED BAPTIST THEN WHY DID HE SWEAR ON THE KURAN…IM BAPTIST….AND ALL WE HAVE IS THE HOLY BIBLE…NO KURAN….THE PIONT IS…ONCE A MUSLIM ALWAYS A MUSLIMS…HE WANTS YOU TO THINK HE CHANGED HIS BELIEFS…HE CONVERTED JUST FOR THIS WHOLE PRESIDENCY THING
Re: Minx – YOUR ALWAYS A GOOD READ FRANK! GREAT COMMENTS! PICKLE UP HIS ASS OR WHATEVER HE CALLS HIMSELF IS WHAT I LIKE TO CALL A REAL FUCKTARD!
Re: nickelpickle56 –
You are a first class idiot. First you have to VERIFY your Facts. He was RAISED by his maternal granma, a Baptist, at AGE 10 So, he didn't just become a Christian b/c of politics. You are a retard.
His father divorced his athiest mother at age 2 so you still haven't proved he's this supposed hardcore Muslim. Everything you have posted was easy rebuttal. Fear mongering is stupidity at it's finest. Please reread post 151 before responding. You proved yourself a Dummy in your FIRST sentence!
ANd for the record he swore in via the BIBLE not the Q'ran
Re: nickelpickle56 – Are you serious? He is not muslim. Do some research, read, educate yourself. He is Christian. Did you make this comment just to get something started?
Oh an BTW Nicklepickle whatever ,
If you remember your history in regards to the crusades, we got our asses handed to us.
He didn't become a "CHristian" overnight, he was a Christian waaay before the"Presidency thing" as you put it. Secondly, we are at war with terrorism NOT Muslims, this is not the "Crusades"
Re: LettyB –
Hey girlie!
Thanks! Sometimes I wish I could take your approach, call them a fucktard and be with it. Unfortunately, since some are too lazy to educate themselves I post what I know and leave it to the ignorant to expose themselves for what they are. Dumming down society and creating smole and mirros as opposed to focusing on issues gets on my nerves!
Damn racist white people!!!!! Leave Obama alone!!!! He ain't even elected President yet!!!!
Obama is an educated Black man who happens to be doing something with his life instead of selling drugs on the corner on DL or being in a gang. Deal wiith it!
Racism is a thing of the past and I can't stand the fact that racism still exists and people will still go as far as to assasinate a person of Color, especially one who becomes widely known in fields such as Politics, Government or even Entertainment. I also can't stand how some of these racists bastards can't stand educated Black men or women or Hispanics or Asians.
That's f***ed! Jeez they need to get with the times. Psychotic nuts.
I'm entirely unsurprised by this
These people just go to show that racism still is in effect in America. It fuckin pisses me off that these uneducated redneck assholes want to kill someone because of their skin color. This country needs someone like Barack Obama to help it, but sadly he will be shot since he has a 'funny name". I just wish people would let him have a chance because, lets face it rednecks, HE IS GOING TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!! Get over yourselves and stop clinging to oil and power hungry McSame. FUCK YOU HATERS!!!
way to progress america!
Re: 3l$@ – Please step away from the computer and go play some PS3. This way people will not have to view your moronic responses.
Re: Sammy – Are you stupid or something? Do you not realize that America is having a economical crises? Are you that illiterate?
I hope these guys go to prison and Bubba becomes their best friend….
This is very sad, I pray to God, that Barack & Michelle & their family are protected.
This is just like Martin Luther King all over again. Why do people have to be such racists. I like Barack Obama.
why are all these white ppl justifying these people as "just white trash". at the end of the day, all of you are white…and have the most hate in your hearts naturally.
racism is alive and well, and is not going anywhere, whether you would like it to go away or not. racists like these are in every city, town, and state.
stop being so naive…you thought your ppl progressed so much that their were no racism within you…think again
i just don't understand racism, it makes me sick.
even seeing the words "white supremacist" makes me cringe.
Hey guys & gals! I'm taking bets on when Obama will bite the big one. Visit us on ObamaDeathWatch dot com. Bets are only $5. If you win with the closest date and time for when he bites it, you take it all! PLACE YA BETS!!!!!
Re: kvnphotography@yahoo.com – You are a sick Fuck!
Those two are proof that some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.. and why couldn't the guy who jumped out the window have landed on his head and made himself a Darwin Award nominee? Thank you NRA for letting people like that have the freedom to get their hands on weapons.
Re: COCACOLA –
Nah, you know what scares me… Republicans thinking that the buttons they allow to be sold at their conventions not being their responsibility. I'd not be surprised if you were in some of the same organizations as these two idiots in the news story. You guys hang out at rallies together?
i think that people need to see that
AMERICA IS NOT A BAD COUNTRY.
first of all, if your ashamed to live here (michelle obama) i think that you should move. move to a country where woman have no rights at all. a place where your dictated by one man and one man only and if you disobey you will be shot without question. maybe then you'll realize how great being an american is.
furthermore, we may be in shitty times people, but it does not mean that this country is doomed. weve been in WAY WAY WAYY shittier times than this. we need to unite and beleive in our country and its leader no matter what kind of situation it is.
if obama gets elected, i wont be happy, not at all. but i will respect him as our leader. and i wont trash him like countless americans trash bush. its not right.
Man they look like they are really crazy inbreeding rascals and drug addicts and just plain looking crazy im not for obama but i dont want to see him killed by these crazy looking guys i hope they throw these guys down a jail pit where they cant get to obama. Racism is the reasons for guns,wars, and nagative feeling you feel when you walk by one of these guys. Judge on someones charCTER LIKE MLK SAID NOT THE COLOR OF THE SKIN WE HAVE DUMB ASSES IN ALL RACES . i DONT THINK THESE GUYS WENT TO SCHOOL VERY LONG.
Re: 3l$@ – THATS REALLY SAD TO THINK ABOUT THIS
How come bigots always look as if they are deteriorated? Could it be the rotting stench of their hateful souls permeating through their skin pores?
Maybe they're born with it
Maybe its Methaline
Re: hotmodelchiq – Wow really? If your gonna dis someone at least be right. Obviously someone needs to "open a book" but it aint mr. pickel. The fact that Borack Obama is only a christian because he had to tn order to run for office is 100% accurate. How sad is it that people who talk the most shit in the name of obama dont know shit about him??????
FYI - 4 those who did not know this about obama, if you truely supported him, tell me, why do you think obama refused to participate in doing the pledge of allegiance on stage with the other presidential candidates? OR When Obama was sworn in as candidate, why did he refuse to place his hand on or swear upon a holy bible and asked that the "QURAN" be used instead???? Hmmm what religion follows the Quran? Oh yeah M U S L I M.
How do people w/computers, the worlds #1 research tool, have time to blog about stuff they never researched?
Re: LettyB – You have a computer right, how about you use it to do some research before you correct someone who is 100% accurate?? If he wasnt a muslim then why wouldnt he participate in doing the pledge of the allegiance with the other candidates on stage in front of millions of people and why when sworn in did he refuse to swear upon the holy bible and demanded that the QURAN be used instead?? What religion follows the Quran again? M U S L I M So if someones a fucktard for being right then what does that make you for being wrong and calling them one?
Im not an Obama supporter, but I would never wish ill, death or anything bad to this man. Its sad that rednecks like this make headlines and create a bad image about US and its citizens. Being a white trash redneck racist should be punishable by law. imo.
Re: Minx – hey Minx! You think america was a melting pot in the 50's??? Really?? Because the history I learned was that the world was still very much segregated back then and my own mother, who was in school in the 50's said that back then black students were not allowed to use seperate restrooms, water fountains & even had a section of the classroom they had to sit in, away from the whie students and could not sit wherever they wanted. You call that a melting pot?? And are you pro muslim or pro american?? You keep contradicting yourself by making contradicting statements that seem to support both by stating obama is going to destroy american from the inside out but yet you support him? WTF??? Confused???. Pickle never even said he wasnt ready for a black pres, but you put those words in his mouth & then started an agrument over it. All he said were facts that you yourself even supported. But who gives a fck if his dad moved or didnt move to Jakarta at that time, whether he did or didnt, what was your point of that argument again? He ALSO never said obama became a christian over night but again, you put these words in his mouth AGAIN AND AGAIN whether it happened overnight or over a year your point by pointing that out was what again? Thats just it, you dont seem to have one. Pick & choose your battles wisely & when was the last time you heard a mature intelligent adult resort to calling people names like idiot or a fucktard? Oh yeah, NEVER.
Thanks Perez. Now I have that damn Deliverance song stuck in my head.
Ok, this is why i fucking hate ignorant people. Is there anyway we can just go ahead and strike their DNA from the human race?
what stupid jerkz
Re: nickelpickle56 – Thank you for educating, hopefully that was all facts, cuz I dont think anyone here is gonna check it. LOL.
Re: nickelpickle56 –
he isn't muslim you dipshit, he was brought up christian.
inform yourself before you start spewing out lies you ignorant idiot.
I think Obama got himself in a drunken college bet to see who could marry the woman uglier than whoopie goldberg……he might not win the election but he sure as hell won that bet
U KNOW iTS SO SAD THAT PEOPLE STiLL THiNK LESS OF BLACKS..THAT MAN iS JUST AS QUALiFiED AS HiS COUNTER PARTS && THEM JACK BUTT WHiTE SUPREMACiST NEED TO COME TO GRiPS THEY THEY THEMSELVES AiNT 100% WHiTE..NO ONE iN AMERiCA iS PURE BLOOD!!!

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LET A DUMBASS BULLSHIT THEM THAT HE'S NOT REALLY A MUSLIM: does barack hussein obama sound like a christian name to you ?
I think the majority of the women who post here would do that redneck on the right if he bought them a happy meal. I also think they have secret desires for the corky retard from the TV show "life goes on"
Re: yvesss. – actually i think the one who needs educating is you…yes he went to a catholic school for two years and yes his grandma was baptist…. but his dad along with his step father were muslim…. he is or was with ever you perfer… mmuslim…. he wouldnt even swear into office on the holy bible… why dont you google bitch… you might actually learn something
Re: alexis760 – your welsome and im not 100% sure my facts are 100% accurate… but for the most part…yes they are… and i am not the only one on here saying he is muslim…
Re: JustiCe777 – thank you!!!!!!!!!! i know what the hell i am talking about… Minx is just pro muslim…. and you are so right… i dont care if he is black, white, green, blue, purple or pink…. the fact is… he is muslim…
These guys have hillbilly written all over them. Stupid American white guys can't get past the black men taking their women, and advancing themselves socially and educationally.
:l
I have never seen a black man that was uglier than these two Jethros.
:l
WTF!!! LMAO, Do ppl stick think like that? So ridiculous, get a fucking life losers, they should rot in prison and get gang raped.
I want to cry they are so ugly, they'd probably rape their kids if they could find a wife dumb enough to marry them. Eww!
