Gun Shot Fired Into Obama Campaign Office In Denver by nduchucks: 1:35pm On Oct 13, 2012
hmmmmm, not sure what to make of this.




(Reuters) - A gunshot was fired into President Barack Obama's downtown Denver re-election headquarters on Friday while campaign workers were inside but no one was struck, police said.

Denver Police Detective Raquel Lopez said a worker inside the office called police in mid-afternoon to report that a bullet had shattered a window pane.

"Right now, no one is in custody and investigators are looking at surveillance video to see if a vehicle can be identified," Lopez said.

Lopez said it was a single shot and no one inside was physically injured.

Detectives are not aware of any threats made to the campaign, but are exploring all possibilities, she said.

"Put the White Back in the White House": How Will Conservatives Spin This Photo from Mitt Romney's Rally on Friday?

Once more, conservatives show you who they always have been and are. I couldn't care less about one data point swimming about in a sea of information. But given Romney's naked appeals to white racism, how white supremacist have heard his "dog whistles" loud and clear, Romney and Ryan's repeated assertions that Obama, the country's first black President, does not understand "American" values, and the Right's use of some of the worst and most racist stereotypes about black people in the Age of Obama, this photo which was taken at a Mitt Romney rally on Friday should come as no surprise.

Together, white racism and racial resentment is the brand name of the Tea Party GOP. Consequently, Romey's public knows exactly what they are buying coming November 2012 when they vote against Barack Obama.

Conservatives and the Right-wing echo chamber have a great gift for reframing reality. In the post-truth era, if you think a thing is true, and you believe it to be so (and say it enough) said fiction must be therefore be real. The New Right are also conspiranoids who believe in rigged public opinion polls, white victimology, birtherism, phantom buses full of "illegal" minority voters, and that the most recent unemployment numbers have been manipulated in a grand ploy to defeat Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. As such, conservatives are capable of believing whatever the echo chamber births from its mania-state of perpetual epistemic closure, and a befouled womb.

They will excuse away and make excuses for the white nationalist who supports the Tea Party GOP, what is the country's de facto White Political Party. Let's get ahead of the curve and use our imaginations to figure out how conservatives will frame the following photo as its circulates throughout the Internet and other media this weekend.

Here a few suggestions:

1. No Republican or conservative can ever be racist! Only the Democrats and liberals see race because they founded the KKK! This man must be an Obama supporter!

2. Agent provocateur! He must be a member of the SEIU and a supporter of Saul Alinsky and a fascist Marxist. Liberals will do anything to make Mitt Romney and the Tea Party look bad.

3. The Romney logo on his t-shirt is a sticker. Just like the Democrats did when they infiltrated the Tea Party rallies a few years ago, the liberals are making their own t-shirts, sending out fake protesters, and doing whatever they can to make us look bad! If he was a real racist the Romney supporters would have kicked him out!

4. Scratch a liberal and you get a racist. He must be a libtard who supports Obama!

5. Okay, let's just use our imaginations and say the guy showed up uninvited to the Romney rally. Why blame all the good conservatives there? Reverse racists, anti-white bigots on TV, black liberal bigots, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the Internet, all hate conservatives. We have black conservatives at all of our rallies.

6. If Republicans hated the blacks why they be so prominently featured by us at our meetings? We are the party of Abe Lincoln. The liberals are race obsessed and sick and they keep the blacks on the liberal plantation. Dems don't believe in what Dr. King said about being color blind.

7. If Obama and his supporters really cared about racism they would put the New Black Panthers in jail, prosecute Fast and Furious, impeach Eric Holder, and stop the cover-up about the embassy attack in Libya!

What would you add to this list? How would you help the Tea Party GOP spin and excuse-make for the white nationalists and other racists in their midst?

No... what's sad is, it appears that all the negative comments about Obama,liberals or the democratic party shows ignorance. If you are ONLY going by the debate and have not been engaged in the everyday topics and interviews and statements made out of Romney's own mouth regarding taxes and how he won't come clean with his own taxes shows he is hiding and is not an honest man! Romney discussions on how he would handle healthcare for ppl that don't have health insurance... for them to just go to the emergency room and how he down grades 47% of the country and he's not worried about them, or his views about Medicare, Medicaid and health choices about or bodies we are in AMERICA there should be NO ONE deprived of health care AMERICA takes care of our own!!! Romney has has changed and retracted so many of his comments and lied so many times..very badly I might add, It has been like a tennis match trying to keep up. He is constantly changing and recanting his own words just to get the vote!! GOD FORBIDS HE GET INTO OFFICE! I suggest for all the individuals not educated about the daily events and making all the ignorant comments please educate yourself by watching MSNBC to truly understand what will happen if Romney is elected. And for those who have voted already for Obama stand straight, and be proud that you are on the Obama team. And for those who haven't voted as of yet, don't allow ignorant people or their comments dictate Anything! Educate yourself and follow MSNBC with Now with Alex Wagner, The Cycle, Martin Bashir,Hardball with Chris Matthews, Politics Nation with Al Sharpton, The Ed Show, Rachel Maddow, The last word with Lawrence. I record all of the MNBC shows to stay engaged. FOX NEWS IS ALL REPUBLICAN FOR A FACT!!! They are so anti Obama its pathetic on their part how bad they reach for anything to attack versus giving factual information they tried to say the president was visiting with a Pirate and didn't want to visit with the President Benjamin of Israel and the facts were the picture was taken two years ago on what was called pirates day. FOX NEWS IS SO FAR RIGHT that they will do or say anything to find negative things on Obama..rather than being fair. Watch MSNBC they will educate you on the real facts and keep you current. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!
