Rocky Mountain News is reporting:
Authorities are investigating a possible assassination plot against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
At least four people have been arrested in connection with a possible plot to kill Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, according to CBS4 News. The suspects are being held on either drug or weapons charges.
Aurora police arrested a longtime drug user Sunday afternoon during a routine traffic stop where the man was seen "weaving," sources said. Three possible other accomplices also were arrested, according to police.
Police found four weapons, including two high-powered, scoped rifles along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.
I'm so glad really stupid, dangerous people - like Ted Bundy - are caught in a routine traffic stop because they can't follow simple rules of the road.
CBS4 reported one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle … sighted at 750 yards."
Law-enforcement sources told CBS4 that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."
These white supremacist...these domestic terrorist need to be punished to the fullest extent that the law allows. Thank god they were stopped. And do you know what else needs to stop immediately: the bullshit meme that McCain is pushing in his ads like "The One" that paint Obama as the AntiChrist. It's irresponsible. It's dangerous. It's repugnant.
