Apparently the meth heads can't shoot. And I doubt they would get a shot off in the first place. The Secret Service has their own counter-snipers and spotters on the high ground and these bozos would be in their scopes the second their rifle stuck out the window.

DENVER (Reuters) - Authorities on Tuesday were investigating whether three men arrested in Colorado with guns and drugs planned to kill Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, but said they posed no real threat.

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

ABC News quoted federal law enforcement officials saying the men, one of whom is alleged to have strong ties to a white supremacist gang, had admitted to a "crude" plan to use a rifle to kill Obama. Local media had reported the incident on Monday.

ABC News said the men had spoken of finding a high vantage point overlooking the football stadium, Invesco Field, in Denver where Obama is due to speak to the Democratic convention on Thursday night, and opening fire with scope-equipped rifles.

It quoted the sources saying that with wind movement and distance, such a shot would not have had a chance of succeeding, that the alleged plot was "crude" and that there was no immediate, credible danger to the candidate.

Every time you say something like "Faux News" or "sheeple" or "fascist" it just pushes people farther away. You'll never bring people to your side by insulting them.

If "Faux News" puts somebody off -- they're too much of a mental failure to do any research and real decision making on the issues to begin with. So eff them.
