Our satellite sister station in Denver has learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges.

One of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards."

Law enforcement sources tell us that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."

The story began emerging Sunday morning when Aurora, Colo. police arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. He was driving a rented pickup truck in an erratic manner, according to our sources.

Sources told us that police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say the man broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later. Sources say he was wearing a ring with a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.

A third man -- an associate of Gartrell and the hotel jumper was also arrested. He told authorities that the two men "planned to kill Barack Obama at his speech."

That man, along with a woman, are also under arrest.

The Secret Service, FBI, ATF and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are all investigating the alleged plot.

The U.S. Attorney in Denver has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon.

  • I am white, and I hope all blacks vote for Obama. He is a genius and a great president.

  • No thanks! I'd rather take my chances with Obama. 90% of McCain supporters are racists just like these skinheads; if he dies in office, the bimbo rogue diva Palin will be the President, and confederate flags will be flying all across America instead of 'stars & stripes'. Obama's rallies show a unified picture of the country (Black white Latino asian, etc,) McCain's rallies look like KKK rallies without the pillow case hoods.

    OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!

  • i thoght skin heads hated aribs?.?.?

  • i'm fine with that. fair enough.

  • I'm tired and made a lot of typos so let me try this again.

    You don't have to subscribe to the delusional idiocracy of the Party Liners. Many people voted for Obama and still admired McCain, you don't have to hate one and love the other you could respect them both and simply judge that one is more qualified and suited to the job of president.

    McCain and Obama both had racist supporters, it's not their fault. Both men deserve better than to be associated with racist and terrorist.

  • I understand, but McCain is still in office right? Since he is such a "hero", all the people who LOVE him so dearly can simply just move to Aridzona can't they?

  • Of course I expect to get flamed by blind partisans. A lot of people are delusional party liners, but when it comes down to it men should be judged by their merits and their principles not by their political party.

  • It's sad really, McCain is a good man with good ideas and he's a freaking war hero who's been put through hell defending us, he was tortured and as a matter of principle he stood firm against the use of torture. McCain is not racist and he's not an idiot.

    So it's a pity that so many of the McCain supporters were racist bigots. McCain deserves better than the support of Skin Heads and racist even if you didn't vote for him he desrves respect for all he's done and for his moral character.

  • Skin Heads are freaking terrorist and if you ask me it's time we do to them what we do to the Terrorist in Afganistan. What good does it do us to fight terrorism over seas if we give it a free pass here in the United States? What good does it do us if we get rid of Muslim Terrorist only to allow racist Aryan Terrorist to take their place?

  • I came found it because I had heard on a gaming forums that Barack Obama was detained so I had to make sure on youtube. He wasn't happy? BTW Barack Obama being president would probably make him looked up more. Since you know hes the PRESIDENT!?

  • yeah, right. Obama was elected president 2MONTHS AGO and here you are STILL looking at a video that talks about "kill(ing) Barack Obama". What kind of thrill does that give you when you watch such a topic? Well, you may not be "racist", but we can certainly see where YOUR McCain supporting mind is..!
