So apparently racist freaks were hatching a plot to knock off Obama on National TV...

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washing ... ssina.html

But the television station reports that under questioning the men admitted there was indeed a plot to kill Obama during his speech before some 70,000 supporters and a nationwide television audience.

More details are expected to emerge later today when Eid holds a news conference at 4 p.m. Denver time.

Way to go, Secret Service

^ That's awesome! You can't make this stuff up.

Did that actually happen?

I'm as annoyed by FOX News as anyone, but at this point I'd guess that someone DID make this stuff up.

Anyone can go here if they enjoy reading people arguing about it , though.

With just a quick glance, I suspect a photoshop. The letter "O" typeface is different from the first line and second line.

Also when you google it, nothing comes up, and you know that the liberal blogs would have completely flipped out about it.

So yes, it appears you can make this stuff up.

Darn, there's so many legit complaints about Fox News that there was no need for someone to make something up. Dumb. But funny.

You feel badly that apparently a false accusation has been made against FoxNews?

Never in a million years - if their headquarters burned to the ground, I'd celebrate.

But as I think Lethal points out, when you make up things to complain about, it diminishes the impact of any legitimate complaints. Kind of like the Boy who Cried Wolf.

Believe me, I have first hand experience.

And now some people are treating it as if it really happened, which will prompt no end of right -wing self-righteous hand-wringing-to which they'll be perfectly entitled.

On the another hand, maybe not Fox News, but others have run with the idea, which may prompt Fox to decide to cover the story of other people who have made much of the coincidence-in which case they'll have a good idea for a ready-made graphic:

white people need to be killed.

Jeebuz, there's already a Wikipedia page for the suspect (Tharin Gartrell).

The feds are saying that the whole thing was only about a drug deal and do not believe there was an actual assassination plot, that the guy was talking out of his butt, trying to act important or become infamous.

BTW, guess what Gartrell's nickname is.... "Wheels"

Michele/Hillary catfight

Proud Mother - big applause
Proud Democrat - big applause
Proud Senator from New York - moderate applause
Proud American - no applause
Proud Supporter of Barack Obama - big applause

Democrats hate America

Hillary nailed that ish. Note: I only heard about 2 minutes of the speech. But she looked in control.
