Authorities Probe Possible Obama Threat
ABC News’ Jason Ryan, Richard Esposito, Pierre Thomas, Jack Date, Mary Compton and Theresa Cook Report: Federal and local authorities in Colorado are questioning several suspects to determine if one of the men made a threat against Sen. Barack Obama, who will be in Denver this week to accept the Democratic presidential nomination.
After pulling over Tharin Robert Gartrell, 28, for allegedly driving erratically early Sunday morning, police discovered two rifles, one of which is reportedly stolen, a scope, a bulletproof vest, ammunition, walkie-talkies and the drug methamphetamine in the rented 2008 Dodge Ram truck, Aurora Police Detective Marcus Dudley said at a Monday evening press conference.
When authorities questioned Gartrell about the findings, he pointed to an associate of his whom he claimed made a threat against Obama, officials told ABC News.
According to law enforcement sources in Denver, a witness interviewed in the case told investigators that one of suspects allegedly said the guns were to be used to kill the Illinois senator, but authorities do not believe the alleged threat put Obama in immediate danger.
At approximately 4:30 a.m. Sunday, police arrived at a Glendale, Colo. hotel to question another suspect, who jumped from a sixth-floor window in an attempt to evade police. Medical personnel at a Denver area hospital treated him for a broken ankle.
Police arrested both Nathan Johnson, 32, and Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, in connection with the investigation. All three men are in the custody of law enforcement authorities, and all have criminal records, officers said at the press conference.
Authorities told ABC News the men had tattoos of white supremacist images.
State, local and federal investigators are working together to decide which charges they will file against the men. Federal authorities scheduled a Tuesday press conference, and noted that prosecutors anticipate filing federal charges as part of the case.
"This is a methamphetamine and firearms case that arose from a traffic stop made by an Aurora Police officer," a spokesman for the joint law enforcement information center told ABC News. "Firearms and methamphetamines were seized, and a number of individuals are in state custody. The matter continues to be under investigation. We’ll provide more information as it becomes available."
The Obama campaign declined to comment on the situation.
The incident comes on the heels of an alleged threat against Obama’s rival, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Last Friday, prosectuors charged an inmate at the Arapahoe County, Colo. jail for allegedly mailing a threatening letter laced with powder to the McCain’s Denver campaign office. Investigators later determined that the suspicious powder was not toxic.

OrwellsPig – “Heck, the whole southwest was once nice until California exported it’s brand of activist liberalism.” – Now THAT’s an interesting theory. I’m sure that a bunch of liberal activist were banding together to shoot Senator Obama. Or, maybe, it’s a bunch of loser drug dealers…..nahhhh.

Wow, I checked out the CBS4 website in Denver. That Tharin Gartrell dude looks like a (more) pissed off version of Vanilla Ice. I’ve been worried about this type of thing since Barack’s campaign started. I think the authorities should see if any of these losers were in Sturgis at the after party that John and Cindy hosted.

Tom – I read this by Paul Krugman – its the paradox of these last few elections in a nutshell. I’m afraid those folks that voted for Bush will just vote for the devil they know again – McCain.
In the world we actually live in, pro-corporate, inequality-increasing Republicans argue that you should vote for them because they’re regular guys you’d like to have a beer with, while Democrats who want to raise taxes on top earners, expand health care and raise the minimum wage are snooty elitists.
Posted by: McGreen | August 26, 2008, 12:10 am 12:10 am
It is amazing that so many seem threatened by an intelligent, articulate candidate for president. Better to have a beer drinking, inarticulate doddering fraud who fools you into believing he’s the friend of the “common man.” Oh yeah, we already did that and with disastrous results.So let’s go for the same but this time somebody who actually served in the military and was a POW. That should make it ok.

Publicity stun is all it is …
Sympathy is what they seek.
Sympathy, they were hoping, will translate to votes in November.
Well, dont be fooled … Obama has to go because of only 1 thing. Obama DOES NOT have the QUALIFICATIONS to be the President of the United States.
Obama HAS NOT PREPARED HIMSELF TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
OBAMA is an AMBITIOUS MAN OUT TO SEEK ADVANCEMENT FOR OBAMA AND OBAMA ALONE.
AND YOU OBAMAMANIACS WILL GO HOME AFTER THE ELECTION TO EAT THE SAME MEALS YOU HAVE BEEN EATING BEFORE OBAMA BECAME THE PRESIDENT, YOU WILL BE LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE, WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES, GETTING THE SAME PAY CHECK, DRIVING THE SAME CAR …
AND THE ONLY LIFE THAT HAS IMPROVED IS OBAMA, his wife and his children. He will be flying in air force 1 while you drive in your beatup honda;
He will be served left and right, and you will be cleaning your house yourself, cooking your own food and trimming your own trees …
Get that picture, dude …
Obama is not a Clinton, not a Kennedy and definitely not Martin Luther King.
Clintons, Carter, Kennedys and King care for the country and its people. That is their core essence.
BUT NOT OBAMA … OBAMA is driven by selfish ambition … and seek a fast track to the White House … Obama is a NOTHING guy … a true follower of the Rev. Wright for 20 years …
NO OBAMA 08

Tom, it’s okay, you go ahead and work your a$$ off, but don’t make too much because then the Dems will take it and give it to the person not working as hard as you are but wants the same things you have.
Don’t you get it, rich people, for all that they are hated, provide the jobs. If they are taxed out of the
a$$ guess who pays. The employees! To counter the exorbitant taxes they pay, they give less raises, provide less or no insurance benefits, etc. to the workers. So in essence it is the working people who pay.

This is probably why Hillary does not want to be his vice president. Can you imagine? If Obama caught a cold in the next 4 years, his supporters would try to blame it on her. And about Obama’s brother….it’s a funny thing, he wants to shove Socialism up our a$$es but I haven’t heard of him sharing his millions with his brother that lives in the hut. And the only racist comments I’ve heard have come from Obama. He keeps telling us all of the racist things the Republicans will tell us, but I haven’t actually heard it from them yet. Maybe he heard it while visiting one of those extra seven states.

Posted by: Sebastian Kenjewala | August 26, 2008, 3:37 am 3:37 am
Both candidates are good decent human beings. It is tragic that some elements in the USA originate and repeat lies about them that inflame people. The most prominent ones here are mostly Fox commentators such Hannity, Gibson, Hume, etc. You can also include Rush and Savage. These guys say things on their shows without regard for the truth or who is listening to them.
I sincerely hope that once Obama becomes President, he will reinstate the Fairness Doctrine by Executive Order. This doctrine will force these guys to be able to prove what they say. Once they have to do this, they will have to find other employment.

An Obama presidency would do more in 6 weeks to convince America that “chocolate presidents” lead to a “chocolate cities” mentality/enviornment such as New Orleans, Detroit , Oakland etc.etc. and on and on – much more effectively than any KKK propaganda.
The idea that blacks will riot if Obama were to be assasinated and kill white people – is inconsequential and well accepted – as blacks commit so much violence in the chocolate cities now on the average weekend that – several of them have had to call in troops to patrol the streets.
Therefore these lunkheads are really counter-productive to their own ends – since 6 weeks of an Obama presidency would do more to advance the cause of the KKK than 100 years of idiots in white hoods.

johnpatrick9: I find your post very offensive! I supported Bush twice and am supporting John McCain this year and I do not support this. This guy does not represent the conservative agenda he is a nut case with problems. I do not believe Obama is the right choice or is ready to lead but that does not mean I want any harm coming to him, it just means we have a difference of opinion, why is it all you Democrats talk nothing but hate and trash towards Republicans isn’t the exact opposite of the theme of “change” Obama is talking about. We need to stop trashing each other and just vote on the issues at hand. You say McCain is the same as Bush by association, does this mean that Obama is the same as Rev. Wright by the 20 year association he had with him? Or is he the same as Rezko? Stop trying to trash the candidates and lets move forward. I want McCain to win but if Obama does win I would deal with it and if by chance he would ask me to help his cause I would. I support the office of the President of the United States, and I believe whoever holds that office Democrat or republican deserves my Support and Respect. It is the office that is important not the man. Just because I am republican does not make me a bad person or evil, I love my Country and I would do anything to protect it or make it better for my kids. I have to believe that both McCain and Obama feel the same way. Cant we have respect in Politics

It sure does seem this country’s deep rooted feelings haven’t changed all that much in some area’s.

Anyone that hates another human being solely on the color of their skin is not Republican or Democrat, they are ignorant people that are so insecure with themselves that they can not except anyone that appears different than they are? It is unfair to be labeled a racist just because you don’t intend to vote for Obama, just like it is unfair to African Americans to be labeled as racist against whites because they are voting for Obama. I would hope as would Martin Luther King would that we would vote for a candidate on merit alone, we need to vote for the candidate that we believe would better our lives and our country..If you believe that person is Obama by all means vote for him it is your right given to you, If you believe that person is McCain cast your vote for him that is your right also. It should not be about hate but about bettering our lives and strengthening our Great Country. All the name calling does nothing more that divide us further it will not get anybody to change what they believe..

What’s wrong with the media and Americans? We can’t hide behind the bus carrying Obama’s associations.
Where is Reverend Wright? Where’s Jessie Jackson? Where is Sharpton?
Did all of us ignore the fact that Obama mentored with an anti American, radical, racist: Reverend Wright.
What about Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan and Father Pflaeger?
This is an introduction to a President?
Could you just imagine if McCain was friends and mentored with the KKK?
Wake up America.
Where is the reporting?
Obama’s past associations is an introduction and a clear picture of Obama’s character.

The Democrats should be embarrassed of Obama.
He has shown racism, sexism and has slapped the Clintons in the face.
How could anyone be proud of this man?
Remember Wright, his mentor?
Louis Farrakhan’s :20,000 Nation of Islam worshipers?
Now we have Ayers and Rezko as associations from his past?
Stop with worrying about the race factor. Worry about our countries leader as a far out radical with anti American supporters.

Batesba74, I agree with you racists aren’t just reps or dems. But if you read the comments from people who are against ‘liberals’, ‘socialists’, and/or Obama they do border, if not cross, the racist line.
I just want to challenge those who are making racist comments to come out of the closet and declare themselves as racist.

Q, I don’t think some of these people are meaning to come off as racist, I believe they are extremely emotional about this election and for the first time we have minority Candidate in one of the mainstream parties winning the nomination of the party. This should show we are moving past racism, to some degree. I know there are still ignorant racist people in society both black and white. But look at the support Obama received in the primary that should show positive movement. Again I do not support Obama but it has nothing to do with race but policy. We have a very important decision in November and I would hope race is not the deciding factor one way or the other. Pick the person you think will improve your life and stands up for your values. That is what matters not Color, Age, Middle & Last Names.. Where do they stand on Taxes, Security, Immigration, Health care, Retirement plans , Social Security, Jobs. That is what should matter to all of us.. Not what someone looks like. If your going to vote only on race do us all a favor and stay home…

I see comments about liberals and all “hate America” crowd gathering in Denver is the reason for death threats and potential tragedy. I actually seem to see people who make threats and violate the law as the real haters of America. When a man has 45-50% of the vote and is even with his opponent I think america is speaking loudly. No group can speak for America alone. That is why we have elections.

Batesba74,
I want to make it clear I’m not black, although i am a minority. My decision to support Obama is based on my belief Obama can raise our country back to the standards it once held both nationally and internationally.
I do get a sense that you feel that all blacks vote for Obama because he’s black, based on your presumptive comments, and not because they feel Obama would truly be a great President and bring pride and honor back to our nation.
Posted by: Q | August 26, 2008, 9:49 am 9:49 am

First of all, look at the photos of these guys. They don’t look like they’re capable of much.
Secondly, I’ve been to a rally for a presidential candidate in the past and there were so many sharpshooters on rooftops and everywhere else, I was scared to sneeze for fear one of them would think I was reaching for something and shoot me.
I don’t think these clowns were capable of getting anywhere near Obama.
Posted by: Kitty Wilberforce | August 26, 2008, 9:53 am 9:53 am
Q, no I dont feel that way if you look at my post at 8:53 “It is unfair to be labeled a racist just because you don’t intend to vote for Obama, just like it is unfair to African Americans to be labeled as racist against whites because they are voting for Obama.” Basically that means Just because I am white does not mean I am voting for McCain because he is, likewise just because Someone is black does not mean they are voting for Obama for that reason. Sorry if that was unclear. I keep saying Race, should not matter as well as Age.
Posted by: batesba74 | August 26, 2008, 9:56 am 9:56 am
What terrifies me, even *if* they weren’t able to get near Obama (how can someone wacked out on meth and carrying guns NOT be a threat?) – that they may have decided to take some other black/latino/asian/jewish/muslim/gay person out as proxy. Would it have even made the evening news?
I don’t think this country is more racist now than it’s been in the past – reading this board just makes it *seem* that way, that’s all. I say string this group up for attempted murder and treason, then execute them. The only good fascist is a dead one.
Posted by: ugh | August 26, 2008, 10:16 am 10:16 am
Black racism is MUCH worse than white racism… In fact, many, many whites are more than willing to vote for and have voted for black candidates.
On the other hand, 95+% of black Americans – ALWAYS vote for black candidates when running against a white candidate.
The 95+% vote for Obama by black Americans is nothing new here.
That is one reason that the “chocolate cities” have practically all black elected officials and why those cities are well-known as the “hell-holes” of America. Right! lets elect or crack-smoking Mayor to another term!

cyntkay: How can you say he is the same as Bush? what are your facts? The 95% policy agreement is misleading it is one year..One year he disagreed with Bush 27% of the time and if you look at the 8 years as a whole it is at 87% considered by congressional standards to be non-partisan. He was for the war true and is for making sure we don’t leave it a mess, I feel that is responsible we cant go in and leave it in dis-array, It really does not matter now if we went in under faulty information what’s done is done we need to make sure there is some kind of stability before just blindly pulling troops out. By the way there is now a plan for withdraw..How many times has Obama crossed party lines? What have the Democrats accomplished in 2 years in Congress? Nothing they support NAFTA that has cost a lot of Americans jobs, they want to tax Big Business who in return just move operations out of the United States or raise prices to recover the lost Revenue or lay-off employees to recover, The solution they seek regarding gas is to tax the profits of these Companies. That would do nothing but increase the cost of gas, meanwhile Pelosi stands to make a lot of money in her stock of T. Boone Pickens company if gas and oil remain high. That is fact..Her solution to the gas and oil prices is to send home Democrats without addressing the problem. I am not saying McCain is Perfect but I cant afford the higher taxes the programs they want to impose would cost me. Obama’s plans are more Socialist than Democratic. These are my opinions and that does not make me a bad person just like you supporting Obama does not make you a bad person. It is your choice and I respect that. You should not be looked down upon for having different views it is what makes this country great. I think we need a bi-partisan effort to fix America and I feel Obama is to far to the left to accomplish this.
Posted by: batesba74 | August 26, 2008, 10:31 am 10:31 am
I have only two things to say. How funny they can find Obama’s brother in a slum in Kenya but for six years cannot find Binladen with the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, CIA, FBI, satellites etc., etc., etc. Maybe they should send CNN, FOXnews, ABCnews or a group of reporters to look for him.
Posted by: T | August 26, 2008, 10:46 am 10:46 am
pumpernickle: I think you are viewing this a little wrong, If you compare the support by African American voters for Obama vs John Kerry in 2004 you would find there is only a 4% increase in support. In 2004 Bush only had 11% of the African American vote, this year McCain is getting 7% of that same demographic. Granted there are probably more registered voters this year but the Percentage is not that far off like you make it seem.. I think it has less to do with racism and more to do with strategy. Lets face it the Democrats have done a better job of reaching out for these voters, not saying they care more or do more for them I think they just appear to be more sympathetic to the needs and this is something the Republicans need to address. We as Republicans need to spread our base and reach out to all Minorities. Until we do this we will continue to see the unbalanced support. Whatever the reason African Americans have always leaned more Democratic than Republican.
Posted by: batesba74 | August 26, 2008, 10:49 am 10:49 am
Meth heads, when they remember to vote, vote Republican. Most of the programming on the GOPnews channel that begins with “F” is geared towards people who are messed up on something.
The hate talkers on the radio specialize in “reaching” this uniquely Republican demographic. El Rushbo has even joined them–using oxycontin, which is much classier than meth.

My response to this bias misinformed writer.
Yeah! And Mcsame allegedly denounced America during captivity and was so embarrassed after that fact that when they rewarded with early release he choose to stay in captivity on the pretense that he wanted to await his turn. Can you imagine McWar not jumping at the opportunity to get back in the fight and win the war as he is touting now about the Iraq war-you gullible fool; do not fall you the hype and spin. This warrior not only graduate 4th. From last in his class but proceeded to crash about four of the air force’s planes , set a ship on fire killing half of it crew and later have his plane shot down. Compare such incompetence with the Harvard graduated professor Obama. Remember the Keating five and how about his lobbyist deal with Georgia? You Conservatives are now fully exposed in several recent writings. Now go hang your head in shame you heartless creature. This is an alleged attempt on the life of a human being, but it is too much to expect any form of common decency fro ruthless neo-con bent on fermenting discord and chaos in America. You neo-cheaters have totally lost your ways and may God have mercy on your wretched souls and dormant irrational thinking. You have allowed idiots on the air waves to hijack your sense reasoning powers to the detriment of this nation’s welfare. I urge you to educate yourself regarding the tactics, the brainwashing propaganda machine they have designed to recruit the gullible.

i just found this post It’s not mine but i thought it was interesting.
Since McCain is so rich he doesn’t even know how many houses he has, pairing up with someone even richer would make the Republicans look even more like the party of, by, and for the rich. At least Romney achieved his wealth honestly (as far as we know).
Last night Michelle Obama described how she, her brother, and Barack achieved the American Dream through good values and hard work. McCain repeatedly says he is proud of his late father-in-law James Hensley who achieved the American Dream but doesn’t mention that he achieved it by breaking the law working for Kemper Marley.
When investigative journalist Don Bolles lay dying from a exploded bomb implanted on his car in 1976, he told the rescue team that “they finally got me” and whispered “Mafia, Emprise, Adamson.” Bolles had been researching orgainized crime in Arizona. Emprise was a mob-connected outfit. John Adamson confessed to the crime, saying that he was hired by an associate of Kemper Marley, and that Marley wanted Bolles dead because of Bolles’ reports. (See Phoenix New Times 2/17/2000)
As noted in the New York Times (8/23/08), the Phoenix police named Marley as the man who ordered the assassination of Bolles.
Cindy’s dad James Hensley achieved “the American Dream” by becoming Marley’s henchman and being rewarded by Marley with a vastly lucrative beer dealership after taking the rap, becoming a convicted felon selling beer on the black market while working for Marley.
McCain achieved the American Dream by marrying ill-gotten gains and working for a convicted felon. Continuing the Bush/McCain economic policies will ensure that McCain’s version of the American Dream is the only one left.

I have yet to connect the word intelligent to today’s crimminal element..whatever can be proved on the stolen gun would say alot..but my opinion is that this is the way these people live..Hate-tattoo’s/and all the FIXIN’s/too really read something into the story(being so stupid anyway)it might matter to some that these types push some story on all of the people..so I might guess that a real assination attempt would be exactly the opposite..some time later tonite I’m going to a website to find something else..about this story..my interest has been “tickled” just a bit.

Obama might as well wear a target on his shirt, or maybe he should drive around the downtown area in a pink limosean! I like cookies. Obama smells like cheese that was left on a shelf for three weeks and then hung out in the rain and then eaten by bear Grylls(Man vs. Wild) and spit out because it was so rotten! P.S.-Mccain is a poohead!

With all this election hype and political corruption I have an idea for a better system of government.
ANARCHY! NOW!

Obama is a dirty, dirty, nazi. He is a decendant of an SS officer on an ellete killing squad called the Einsatzgruppen. Obama is the modern Osama, the dirty, dirty nazi.JK

yea im getting sick of this liberal and conservative bulls-h-i-t. F-u-c-k a liberal and f-u-c-k a conservative. People are so quick to jump under a title, you chumps need to be yourselves. I agree with some liberal views and I agree with conservative views, do you know what that makes me? And independent person who can think for his self and does not follow blindly like sheep.
Its ok, this attribute has been a useful tool. I have also noticed that people who scream imma die hard liberal or conservative are the ones who usually have no common sense.
Sorry if I offended any of you chumps (NOT) and while you suckers go down, I continue to go up :)

I smell another Obama staged event to distract from the negative news reports about him hitting the waves in the last few days. I suspect the Obama campaign has a number of these events at the ready for the remaining days before the election.
Senator Obama has run the most corrupt campaign I have seen in 40+ years of Presidential campaigns.

The Question Is….
Are these Colorado Boys…
and Two Americans in Tennessee “Palin Real America small rural towns Americans”, like Bells Tenn. and West Helena, Ark
and “Not Anti-American” as Sarah “Neiman” Sixpack Tells US?
“They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” he told The Associated Press. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”
Allegations against the two men — Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark. — have not been proven in court.
Officials with ATF said they seized weapons from the pair, including a rifle, three pistols and a sawed-off shotgun.
Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm and threatening a candidate for president. They are also accused planning to steal more weapons for the plot.

I’m not a republican, but I won’t vote for the Muslim – Obama. If elected,(and I pray he isn’t), will he take his oath of office on the QUORAN,as he did when he was elected Senator,or will he use a Bible since he now claims to be a Christian?
Answer that, Mubarak.

Why can’t the right wing nut cases accept that this is America where both Democrats and Republicans are entitled to elected office? Why are hate and violence hallmarks of the right most of the time? Are Republicans incapable of sane politics? Can any GOP here answer this for me please?
