Credible Plot to Assassinate Obama by White Supremecists Thwarted

Fuck me. The hate is real. The whisper campaigns do real damage. The shit has to stop.

DENVER (CBS4) ― CBS4 has now learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges.

One of the guys “was wearing a ring with a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.”

If you are not doing everything you can to talk down the whispers of hate speech and racist undercurrents in this election, then you will be partly responsible if anything happens to the first black man nominated to run for President of the United States.

Don’t ignore it, don’t support it, and certainly don’t condone it.

Did you ever notice that it’s always a right-wing nut with a plot to kill a progressive, and seldom the other way around?
