Obama assasination attempt

How does Free Republic react to the recently thwarted assassination attack against Obama? They say it's a conspiracy, and run back to old shibboleths.

omega4179 immediately knows this is fake:

Reichstag event planned by Zer0 Sympathizers.

the Hitler reference was a nice touch.

El Gato adds to the conspiracy narrative, folding in those black-suits at the ATF:

likely the "plot", by *two* hyped up meth heads, was real enough, but the timing, and the mere fact, of it's unsealing was controled by BATFE.
Lets just say they have a vested interest in a candidate who would pass more federal gun control, and shield current laws from the fallout from the Heller decision.

ponygirl just loses it:

They rig everything and then blame it on Republicans. I am sick of it. Rig up a fake "assassination" attempt --> point to Republicans. Rig a financial disaster --> blame the Republicans. Crash the housing/mortgage market --> blame the Republicans. Get some intern to blow you under the Oval Office desk --> blame the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy." ...

This dawg is getting damn tired of getting kicked. I'm about to bite somebody.

I don't know who they are, but they sure are powerful! I'll bet they're an army of George Sorosi!

Twinkiemay be joking, but I cannot be sure:

Arkansas - hmmm..mmm. . Hillary??????!!!! Bill??????!!

At this rate the Clintons will be responsible for every death in the US!

On the non-conspiracy angle, we have Tarpon who appears to have forgotten about the civil rights movement:

Since the KKK is a Democrat terror operation formed after the civil war, this seems to show there is considerable unrest within the Democrat party.

Waco who left his compassion in his other pants:

Another reason not to elect 0 , we don’t need another holiday.

That'll play well! But not as well as sageb's well thought out political plan:

These guys are potential domestic terrorists - unlike Bill Ayers, who was a real domestic terrorist and who had a huge network of domestic terrorist friends. I wonder if they’ll get off on a technicality too?

This is what we need to go with.

Skinheads are domestic terrorists just like Obama's friend William Ayers.

Yes! Politicize this assassination attempt! That is a GREAT PLAN!

the aptly named Chode remembers there's a racial component:

two white boys attacking an all black school??? please... if they didn't get shot full of holes, they'd get cut to pieces.

because black school children always carry guns, or at least knives that can somehow beat guns.
