Wow...if you read about these guys, they could have been up to any one of ten no-good-things, and all with minimal brainpower behind the operation. A bunch of tweakers on an adventure.
The ones that are good at it they rarely catch on to.

Let's see, dirtbag dopehead rascist with guns. Yep that equals assasination, no doubt about it.

What else could it be?


Sounds like their buddy is telling the cops and the media what they want to hear.

Maass reported earlier Monday that one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards."

U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said the case was under investigation."We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," Eid said in a prepared statement.

The plan was to rent a glider for stealth and dangle one of the four from a bungee cord. From there, he would bounce upside down while trying to figure out when he was 750 yards away.

OK, I made that last part up, but it would fit.

They seemed serious about it, which obviously isn't funny. What is funny is they were arrested in Arapahoe county, and if there is a Fed with a sense of justice they'll turn these nitwits over to sheriff Joe Arpaio for the pink glove and green baloney treatment.

Wrong state - wrong county.

Dambit! You're right. I was just thinking how much that would annoy them that I enlarged Joe's reach without thinking.  ::)

Better yet … ban dumbass parents from having dumbass tweaker kids. 

If I recall, last year the Secret Service increased the contact area from 600 yards to 800 yards around BHO.
