It would be the biggest scar on this countries history if something happened to him... because of his race. We've had assassinations, but if we had one cuz of race makes one sick to their stomach.

When was the last time a right-winger was assassinated? The head of the arkansas democratic party was assassinated this year by a right wing nut job. Another right wing nutter shot up that church in TN. Mcveigh was a right wing nutter. the unabomber- rightie. There is Reagan, but the guy who shot him was trying to impress jodie foster so i don't count that as political. the left has lost a lot of leaders to right wing nutters- jfk, rfk, mlk
edit: i suppose that it is unfair to state that right wing nutters killed jfk and rfk, but right wing nutter violence is on the rise
Right wing nutties cherish guns. Left wing nutties don't.
ps I realize this comment is extremely shallow and is not meant to be serious
Nutters took shots at Reagan and Ford. I'd daresay but for luck and secret service vigilance that no president would ever survive a full term in office.
It's hard to assassinate a president by throwing granola and Jesus shoes at him.
(I would imagine)
Chuck Norris says you're wrong.
BTW, I-25 is closed out here from 6th Ave to I-70 at 5 PM. That's the major stretch of highway by Invesco, but I'm not sure what closing the expressway does exactly (Invesco is a good distance off the expressway).
That was awesome.Quote:

FBI Wanted Obama Plotters Charged, But A Rove Appointee Said No
KUSA - 9Wants to Know has learned three men in Denver planned to assassinate U.S. Senator Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera, according to federal court records.
The men were doing methamphetamine inside the hotel with two women on Aug. 23 discussing the plot to kill Obama, according to federal records.
Adolf said "it would not matter if he killed Senator Obama because police would simply add a murder charge to his pending charges," according to the records. There were seven outstanding warrants for Adolf's arrest.
The underage woman told law enforcement that Adolf also talked about using "a high-powered rifle 22-250 from a high vantage point" to shoot Senator Obama during his acceptance speech at INVESCO Field at Mile High during the DNC.
Even more significant, beyond the details of the plot, was the fact that, as the Colorado Independent notes, the FBI asked for more serious charges to be filed and were turned down.
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.
Note the language used by Eid in dismissing the gravity of the case: the case isn't serious because they were "more aspirational, perhaps, than operational"? Well, when it was the Liberty Seven -- black Muslim men who were described by the FBI as "aspirational rather than operational" -- there was no hesitation by the Justice Department in bringing charges.
Another funny thing: 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."
But when it’s a claque of white men with rifles, disguises, and all the accoutrement of a conspiracy – as well as open admissions to it – Troy Eid isn’t worried. After all, they just a bunch of harmless, tweakers, right? … Just like little Timmy McVeigh.
But then, when you’re a Karl Rove operative promoted to deliver justice the Republican way, as Troy Eid is, that’s the way the scales fall. As Marcy reported at the time, Eid in fact nearly didn't get the Colorado job because of concerns about "improper lobbying."
