CNN:Man arrested at Capitol for Obama threat
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Police arrested a man near the U.S. Capitol Tuesday after he drove up to one the building’s barricades with a rifle in his vehicle and told officers that he had a delivery for President Barack Obama, a Senate spokesman said.

The man was arrested and transported to Capitol Hill police headquarters for further processing. Charges against him are pending.

16. The site I would worry more about is NoQuarter
Freepers are extreme right wing but patriotic. NoQuarter bigots are very anti the President to the extent of some of them blaming the President for the break up if their relationship, what is worse Larry Johnson who was employed by a Rethug to create disorder also knows how to wind up hate levels far more than a Freeper as that is what he was employed to do.

21. I haven't gone there for months, it was overt and chilling hate
and crazy larry made up stories that got spread to other sites with an aura of believability since he was ex-cia.

I wondered what they'd been doing since none of their fantasy schemes to stop Obama came true. Can't bring myself to go look...but I sure would hate to be one of them.

26. Larry Johnson and SusanUnPc know exactly what they are encourging.
THere are some on Nothalfracist that you can debate with reasonably intelligently. On here saying Bush is bad and Obama is a bit like saying water is wet. Going to those sites does allow you to get news on whet the latest conspiracy theory is going to be. The most recent bigot that they tried was a Kentucky story. It failed. When that happens some of their readers get to levels of hate that are terrifying.

It was there the whole birther thing started, the non existent whitey tape, etc etc. Mopre recently a Kentucky s Strangely though SusanUnPC claims taht she has been trying to disassociate NQ from the PUMA lot. Being ex CIA knows exactly what he is doing and he knows why he is stirring up one of these loons.

I think they want a Stormfront "Democrat" market. He must realise though that those lot play with live rounds. When they bigot - they mean it.

Just some examples of their hate.

I lived in New Orleans for 30 years and witnessed an astounding level of inability to take responsibility for one's own actions, or lack of them. This led straight to destruction of huge parts of the city. You are spot on here.



Comment by WildChild | 2009-01-06 23:45:31

so you get your information from the billionaire Jew. Let me guess LOL, he’s all for the current beat down



Comment by AMERICA R.I.P. | 2009-01-22 03:32:56

Yup. Exactly. And and all that great anti-racism that got beaten the hell into us? Well, sadly, now I have none of it left. If I'm a "racist" great. It's not going to change MY life anymore. I worked, I fought, I helped, I gave time and money. But they're still screaming VICTIM. Oh well. Don't ask me for help. I'm done and you're one your own. I hope these idiots realize that Obama is turning whites against blacks more than they were in the 50's.




Comment by sowsear | 2009-01-22 01:09:05

And a bill for black reparations has already been introduced….



Larry Johnson has had to ask his own readers to get careful about hate and death threats.

http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2009/01/18/threats-are-reported-to-the-secret-service/

This is how his readers responded to that


Comment by Hillary or Bust | 2009-01-18 21:06:47

I don’t want him to be assassinated, but I wouldn’t mind if he took his own life in some extremely stupid way, like a cocaine overdose while he’s got his pants down with Larry Sinclair.



Comment by Bob | 2009-01-18 22:30:33

There is one irony—– Barack Obama’s fascination

with Lincoln



If he does report them, the Security Service who are normally hot on these things appear not to have done anything as two posters have made direct threats and still post.

They do however get worse - read these in the context of those that go there to agreee with the NQ crowd; the type who think that President Obama is not the President (they have them all from "because he gamed the system" to the fake birth certificate


Comment by Hillary or Bust | 2009-01-18 23:31:55

Let me clarify that my hatred is purely rational and calculated. I believe Obama is the most dangerous man ever to be president. I think he is dangerous alive, but he is just as dangerous dead by assassination, due to the chaos it would put the country in.
However, I think we'd all be safer if he wasn't in office - THIS IS NOT A THREAT! IT IS AN OPINION! - and so yes, I do hope he dies young by natural causes or his own hand, because otherwise we're looking at someone with his eyes on being a life-long dictator of America and then World "President."
I wish Hitler had died early of natural causes too.
But I do not in any way condone violence against the president, absolutely not.


Hillary or Bust - if you support the view that President Obama is not the President - what does that mean?

and this one is even more obvious.



Comment by obamastolemyboyfriend | 2009-01-17 20:07:07

Yep. I bet that day is coming! I have 2 sons and there is not a chance in hell they’re going off to a Barky war. We’ll die trying to assassinate the fool first!


The bigot who thinks Obama stole her boyfriend, seriously does blame the President for her relationship break up.

19. Freepers are too cowardly to actually do something.
Unfortunately there are enough people that think like them that will.

24. Hate internet sites
These sites would be funny (which they are to a certain extent) if they weren't so warped. Some of these people claim to be so "Christian"; yet they continue to advocate hate and intolerance. Every day they are more slurs (many of which are racial) against President Obama. I have seen any number of threatening posts. It seems that there is a group of about a dozen or so "core" posters who continue to hate our President. The impression is that they sit around with their guns, awaiting the collapse of civilization. People can certainly have differing points of view, but threats of violence against the President is unacceptable. They most certainly will be sorely disappointed at the fantastic job that our President is doing (and will continue to do). They have even resorted to slamming FDR. These were some of the "birthers", who could not comprehend the proof that President Obama was born in Hawaii. The very few posters who defend President Obama on these sites are "shouted" down and "threatened".

I sincerely hope that the Secret Service closely monitors these sites as some of the posters are truely imbalanced.

with a little prayer for his safety. Men like him are few and far between.

8. I wish I remember who posted this prayer
I have it on my desktop and refer to it often.


May the Light of the Creator shine upon him,
May Light surround him and may he be protected
May Light go ahead of him and come behind him,
May Light kiss his forehead and cushion the soles of his feet.

May the Creator inspire him and touch his heart,
May his words carry strength, and inspiration and hope,
May he be used by the Creator, to help us heal our Nation
May his enemies be confounded and their hatred turned back on them

May the shield of righteousness be in his left hand
May the sword of truth be his to wield
May the Creator forgive this country its transgressions as we attempt to begin to change our path from wrong thinking and violence, to justice and peace,

May the Creator protect Barack Obama from all harm and guide him to victory for the sake of all the people who seek liberty, justice, and prosperity for our nation's citizens and for the citizens of our world.

But then again, your stupid ass probably thought that was the White House.

18. Fucking asshole. I'm so sick of these people. They better
hope nothing ever happens to the President. They see the admiration and even love people have for this man. This country would be truly even more fucked then we already are if anything happened to him. I pray for him everyday myself.

25. A different way of looking at this....
... the man pulls up to the Capitol, NOT the White House, NOT where the whole world knows the President lives. He goes to where CONGRESS is.

He says "he has a delivery for for Obama."

Why are we assuming the "delivery" were the BULLETS and not the GUN? He was trying to HELP Barack out perhaps? ;)

Ahhh ... I know, I shouldnt joke about that.
