You know, assassination attempts take brains, and I don't think these guys have it. Any person that has been arrested in connection with an Obama assassination doesn't seem to be um, bright enough. I wouldn't be worried.

Perhaps Obama is well-guarded, but what about the dozens of other people they intended to kill? And they aren't the only ones with such a plan, I'm sure. These folks need Jesus.

My father told me yesterday that gun sales are up because people are afraid of what will happen if Obama is elected. I find that hard-to-believe right wing propaganda (based on the source).

It's either that or people are talking serious hooey.

I have seen some right wing sites where people are actually discussing 'stocking up' in case the 'criminal hoodlum element' should decide to do 'harm' in their areas.

But I have to ask tho.....which will incite a riot more?

Obama winning or McCain winning **think about that**

Seriously? Did you really have to go that route?

I have no doubt that there are sickos out there, and it's good that they were able to stop this group of idiots before they hurt someone. But these rumors of right-wingers stocking up is just as ridiculous as the rumors of people leaving the country after Bush was elected the second time (the "I'll leave the country if Bush is elected" people).

My father *suggested* that Obama is going to declare martial law from day one so he can use the police against citizens. Someone told him (or he heard) that gun sales were up because people were going to have to shoot police officers to protect their property. These crazy rumors are getting out of hand. I can't believe my father would even repeat something so ridiculous.

ETA: My father is a staunch McCain supporter.

Seriously....and I asked them that same question....realize...that it's all just talk but if you take 10 that are even 'jokingly' talking about this....there are at least 2 that may really follow thru no matter how you cut it. As a matter of fact, pay attention to my last passage, I did say 'discussing'. Hell you got these nuts right here in this article that plotted to kill Obama and how did they meet? ONLINE. These are the nuts that weren't joking!

then...you have this article: http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/...008-10-21.html

and you have: http://www.theroot.com/id/48479
