scribblings from a deist transhumanist libertarian minarchist citizen soldier

Idiots plot to kill Obama. Fishy smell permeates area.

The cult of Obama apparently doesn’t extend to everyone. Four idiots are being held on suspicion of plotting to kill our next President. The story itself is highly suspect. The parts don’t add up.

Law enforcement sources told 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 Tharin Gartrell, 28. 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.

A 750-yard shot from a high vantage point is very difficult on a human sized target, even with an high caliber rifle and an appropriate scope. You’d need to pre-sight your weapon from your actual vantage point, or have a spotter assisting you. Maybe both.

The last person who could make such a shot is a methhead. Look carefully at these two individuals. They are supposedly charter members of the Methhead Presidential Assassin’s Club. These doofuses don’t look competent enough to tie their own shoes, let alone carry out the type of plan that would end the life of Barack Obama from 750-yards away.

I think there are two possibilities.

A) These idiots were actually plotting to kill Obama. If so, they had a snowball’s chance in hell. I’d put 200,000 to 1 odds on failure.

B) This is just some sort of publicity stunt set up by the campaign to help further the cult of personality Obama seems to have become.

Either way, Obama was never in danger. He’ll be the next President and I’ll be irritated by most of what he says and does for the next four years. Remember kids, drugs and hitmen don’t really mix. Competent assassins don’t get high and drive around in pickup trucks with their weapons waiting to be arrested.

This whole story is just a plot to distract us from the fact that Obama’s only meaningful contribution to society is that he promises to take money away from some people, take a cut, and give the remainder to other people – all in the name of fairness.

    I'm not sure I like what my society is becoming or how we are spending the money or how little say I have in the process. And that is the source of my heartburn.

    "he promises to take money away from some people, take a cut, and give the remainder to other people - all in the name of fairness."

    It's not just the name of fairness. It is, indeed, fairness - and good economic sense. Republicans seem to think that every dime they make came from the sweat of their brow - as if the social infrastructure they were embedded in had nothing to do with it. Have you noticed how many millionaires there are in places without government, like Somalia? That's right, none. Because to become a millionaire requires living in an organized, technological, educated, sophisticated, fair society. Bill Gates wouldn't have made a nickel if it weren't for public electric utilities to power his computers.

    I'm not saying communism is a good thing (and neither is Obama). I'm not saying people don't deserve to get paid for their work. I'm saying that part of the cost of business is the taxes you pay, because your business would not succeed without police, fire, military, financial, educational, and, yes, welfare, spending on the part of the government.

    Everybody understands the cost of goods. Everybody understands you have to spend money on advertising and shipping to sell things. Why can't Republicans grasp the notion that you have to spend money on society to sell things? Henry Ford got it. What's taking the rest of you so long?
  • The latest information was these idiots were charged only with weapons violation charges, no charges related to an attempt to kill skunks out of season.

    So you think that the Obama people got some meth freak to agree to go to jail so that the campaign could somehow get some story to conflict with the convention.
  • Matt, why would a meth freak need to agree? Drug users don’t have rights in this country. People do get setup.
