3. Seems operation chaos is in full swing.
Limpball has certainly stirred up the wackos and skin heads.

4. Put a US Army uniform on them, drop them in the middle of Baghdad unarmed and disoriented.

5. Adolph?
Unless you're going to be a meat tenderizer, I'd divorce myself from that name.

I guess the drug of choice for mental midgets is meth lab away, too.

I so much look forward for our human race to evolve!

7. Authorities are taking it seriously? That's not what the guy on CNN said last night.
From the tone of his voice when I heard it last night, he sounded positively dissapointed that it wasn't "credible":

JOE JOHNS, CNN NEWS CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Larry, you're right. We've been going back and forth on this thing all night. We wanted to tell you what we know and don't know. The authorities are investigating a possible threat against Senator Obama. How credible a threat that is sort of another matter. What we know is at least three possibly four men have been arrested in the Denver area on firearm and methamphetamine charges. Police said one of those men was driving a rented truck, we believe a pickup truck, with at least two rifles in it and a scope. Police officers said they found other things, a bullet proof vest, walkie-talkies. Police said a second man apparently jumped out of a sixth floor hotel room window when they went to visit him and injured himself.

Now, there are some reasons why this story sounds a little shaky. A source tells CNN that one of the men arrested said that one of the other men had threatened Senator Obama. That's not necessarily a reliable statement. In fact, the other big problem for the authorities is drugs are involved apparently, Methamphetamine. The authorities say they simply do not know whether this was serious or whether it was, quote, "some methed-up yahoos," end quote, high on drugs, talking out of their heads.

The U.S. attorney's office has scheduled a news conference tomorrow. Hopefully, then we'll get some answers. We know, Barack Obama, of course, is not even in Denver right now. That's what we know and we'll keep you applied.

10. I thought it was "talking out of their hats"? But anyway....
should actually have been "talking out of their asses"


just a bunch of stupid yahoos being idiots, IMO


I'm more afraid of the un-yahoo people...the people who blend in and lurk and watch and wait for the proper moment...the Sirhan Sirhans, etc.

Oh...and unexplained plane crashes.

I'm almost literally on pins and needles every day....to the point where I somewhat dread turning on the news in the AM...

:scared:

8. Freepers think this is not "passing the smell test"
And I have to hand it to those "Operation Chaos" people. Rush sure did whip them up into complete insanity.

I'm sure because Obama's black had nothing to do with it.

And if I knew where to find that "sarcasm" icon, I'd use it.

9. sure ... the police saying "no credible threat" ...
I'm sure there's plenty of wildlife in the streets of the city of Denver which requires the use of a scope on your rifle ...

some crazy "white" guys do come after Obama I'd bet they're being motivated by folks that stand to lose a lot from his election. Aka some particular Corporations and the very wealthy. I called this a while back. White supremacists would be the perfect scapegoats to get it done for those that stand to lose a lot. The "big guys" never take the fall.
