- johnnr2, on 09/04/2008, -12/+178Unbelievable! - even in Bush and Rove's America.
- inactive, on 09/04/2008, -8/+144"When a black man in prison sent a threatening letter containing baby powder to John McCain, Troy Eid brought down the full force of the law, complete with press conferences and public declarations that 'We won't stand for threats of this kind in Colorado.'"
This is pretty sickening to see how threats to Obama are treated. What's next, will they take away Obama's Secret Service protection because it looks like he's doing okay? - ElAmo, on 09/04/2008, -17/+147The being known as Karl Rove, synonymous with Lucifer, does not have a soul.
- theone3, on 09/04/2008, -3/+127I can't help but wonder what the reaction in America would have been if these plotters were Muslim.
Terrorism is terrorism, no matter who does it. - elisathon, on 09/04/2008, -5/+124FTA
"When police searched the hotel rooms and cars the men were using, they confiscated meth, needles, laptops, cell phones, a black mask, books indicating check fraud and forgery, bags of new clothes, tactical pants and bar coupons.
Based on the evidence, FBI special agent Robert Sawyer believed there was probable cause to charge the men with conspiracy to kill Senator Obama. However, US Attorney Troy Eid last week said there is insufficient evidence to indicate a true threat, plot or conspiracy against the senator." - inactive, on 09/04/2008, -14/+107Please protect Obama.
- angeladtao, on 09/04/2008, -14/+93He was just doing what he was hired to do. This, then, is Republican justice, available for some, out of reach for many, nonexistent for the opposition. Will the press roll over on this one as well?
- AllUSA, on 09/04/2008, -6/+80For those who doubt. I have lived long enough to have been witness to the aftermath of the devastation of the assassinations of the Kennedys and King. I'm here to tell you this is not a joke. Someone or some people don't want this country moving into the direction they were trying to take us. There message was similar to Obama's. So don't take it lightly. What do they have to gain power and control of the country and that's a helluva lot.
- Hillsfar, on 09/04/2008, -8/+75Totally. Shake down and arrest reporters with credentials at the RNC.
Let go white supremacists with rifles and guns and full confessions at the DNC.
C'mon, everyone. DONATE to Obama's campaign!! We gotta fight money with money, power with power!
$25 from each of 2 million people will ALWAYS beat $2,300 from each of 10,000 rich people. Do it once a month and we'll AVALANCHE the Rove-publican *****! - govsucks, on 09/04/2008, -2/+63Well, I don't like Obama and I'm no fan of collectivism but if these people were plotting to hurt Obama and had weapons then they should be charged and treated as criminals. I may not like the man or his ideas, but if you harm one of our presidential candidates I have no problem with you being shot dead.
I don't like Obama or McCain, but the people of this nation should be free to choose their leader without threats or violence. Now, we can really break some ground when the unions feel the same way. - Gemfinder, on 09/04/2008, -17/+75He's probably covering his ass.
I'll bet those guys listen to Rush. Boy, if we could pin it on his show when he called for riots in Denver to disrupt the DNC...! - wwwonka, on 09/04/2008, -3/+51I was watching him on TV the other day and he completely comes across as the little fat kid that got bullied in high school and vowed to grow up and rule the world as a secret evil douchebag. Guess he made it.
- VAXcat, on 09/04/2008, -1/+48"When police searched the hotel rooms and cars the men were using, they confiscated meth, needles, laptops, cell phones, a black mask, books indicating check fraud and forgery, bags of new clothes, tactical pants and bar coupons." Shoot, a fellow could have himself a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
- inactive, on 09/04/2008, -7/+53if rove doesn't care about our soldiers getting killed, why would he care about obama?
- Splicernyc, on 09/04/2008, -10/+54The GOP have taken off any semblance of a mask they might have been wearing. They are doing nothing but courting the votes of the most virulent and genetically regressive people in this country, namely, white supremacists. These terrorists have been coddled at arms length by the Republicans and their right wing puppetmasters but now are openly being embraced. The choice of the secessionist Palin is a good example.
- Kallius, on 09/04/2008, -11/+54Naturally, these tweakers didn't get charged with anything serious. If anything like this happened to McCain, those people would be in Gitmo right now along with their families. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the neocons hired these three to assassinate Obama.
- knuckles, on 09/04/2008, -1/+40Dugg you up even though I happen to like Obama. But your comment is representative of what free speech is all about. You voiced your opinion without condemning those that don't agree with you (or damning us to hell, or cursing our souls and so on).
I take my hat off to you. - mescad, on 09/04/2008, -1/+38When Giuliani mocked the democrats for never once uttering the phrase "Islamic Terrorism" during the DNC, this was the first thing I thought of. Why does it matter what their religion happens to be? I agree: Terrorism is terrorism.
- Lynx55, on 09/04/2008, -8/+44Repub trolls are out I see. If you all are so stupid as to not see Rove's power, then you are more drunk on the kool aid than I thought. I agree with the comment : God please protect Obama.
- jehan60188, on 09/04/2008, -2/+37no it wont.
that's what the government wants you to believe- that "it'll all balance out in the end"
the truth is YOU have to MAKE it balance. petition, protest, riot, rise up, and if all else fails revolution - Bmarofsky, on 09/04/2008, -5/+37So the plan was to get high on meth, kidnap Obama, and get him drunk at a bar and pay for it with rubber checks and coupons?
- diggdatt, on 09/04/2008, -6/+38They arrest lawful protestors, but wont arrest racist assasins? Oh yeah, I forgot this is America. Terrorists are only terrorists if they aren't white.
- twiztidsinz, on 09/04/2008, -4/+35I don't think he's keeping his evil douchebaggery a secret....
- blackinthmiddle, on 09/04/2008, -4/+34Think about it, guys. They have no problem sending our troops over to Iraq to have them die. Why is this any different. It's really hard to differentiate between them and the devil. Maybe they're one and the same?
- thedogfatherx, on 09/04/2008, -7/+37I'm pretty surprised they didn't get charged with conspiracy. I mean what the hell?
- JoeVet, on 09/04/2008, -5/+32When justice is perverted by one political party it can no longer be trusted by any party. Thank you all you Republicans for destroying justice in the United States. You have spit in the face of everyone who died defending this country.
- melonhedd, on 09/04/2008, -7/+34Oh that dastardly KKKarl Rove!
- georgemason01, on 09/04/2008, -3/+28Please don't defame Lucifer without evidence.
- Lynx55, on 09/04/2008, -14/+39That SOB....is all I have to say. Someday Karma will kick his ass.
- BXRWXR, on 09/04/2008, -5/+29Just like King, look the other way...
- smacksaw, on 09/04/2008, -10/+33If they get prosecuted, they might turn states' evidence on Rove. Whoops!
- feezus, on 09/04/2008, -5/+27Unacceptable.
- twiztidsinz, on 09/04/2008, -2/+24Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
White Supremacists plotting to kill the black Presidential candidate....
Clearly there was nothing illegal going on.
Now had this been a plot to kill Bush/Chaney/Rove.. It would have never even made it to the news, just a black helicopter with a one-way ticket to Gitmo. - Reynardine, on 09/04/2008, -6/+27What on *earth* does Rove have to gain from doing this unless he's somehow involved?
Oh well, there are plenty of other charges against these guys including drug possession, so there are grounds for a search warrant and investigation. If the Obama plotters were indeed taking orders from somebody higher up, there's a good chance we'll find out. - rmxz, on 09/04/2008, -2/+23Inconceivable!
- wendelgee2, on 09/04/2008, -4/+25Care to refute the substance of the article?
No? - mik311, on 09/04/2008, -4/+25that's just unbelievable i love that a mans life is not as important as a political party
- inactive, on 09/04/2008, -7/+28LOL, the Bush bury brigade gets pwned again!!!
When are you guys gonna give up? We keep pwning you and you keep getting back up! You guys are like that guy in the chumba wumba song, stay down!!! you are getting your asses beat! - hauntedchippy, on 09/04/2008, -1/+21The definition of "liberal" is not "stuff I don't want to hear"
- Ebonsteel, on 09/04/2008, -3/+23Don't give the fat fascist ***** that much credit. He is a miserable little lying scrap of human waste - not some supernatural evil entity.
- SpinningHead, on 09/04/2008, -1/+20Are you mad about the facts or that the facts got out.
This is not a blog http://www.coloradoindependent.com/6857/court-docs ... - khouros, on 09/04/2008, -0/+19"We all want to be true.."
Speak for yourself. It was enough for the FBI.. apparently the actual facts don't matter anymore, now it's "Guys, there are two sides to every story!" no matter how much the evidence weighs in favor of the truth... - azhura, on 09/04/2008, -1/+19They did it to MLK and look what happened to him. Racism is not only plain stupid, it's incredibly dangerous in the hands of people in power.
- buddyfarr, on 09/04/2008, -1/+19I have spent most of the past 2 years building up a resistance to iocaine powder...
- twiztidsinz, on 09/04/2008, -0/+18Satan: "Woah!! Woah!! Dude... no.... I am NOT taking credit for THAT one..."
- Billistic, on 09/04/2008, -1/+19You know, they totally hope someone will come along and assassinate the guy. This is evidence of it.
- mhj555, on 09/04/2008, -6/+24Only in Bizarro bushworld does KKKarl Rove appoint anyone.
- comat0se, on 09/04/2008, -1/+18"Rush Limbaugh says he is not calling for a riot in Denver during the Democratic National Convention — he only "dreams" of it, to the tune of 'White Christmas.'" ... "Now, I am not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of riots in Denver," he said mimicking the holiday tune. ... He explained on air: "Riots in Denver at the Democrat convention would see to it we don't elect Democrats. And that's the best damn thing (that) could happen for this country as far as anything I can think." ... Mayor John Hickenlooper said, "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings."
Only a matter of semantics...
