No thread on the 'assassination' attempt yet!

[basketcase]

I was expecting to log in and see the usual discussion of 'Christian Terrorism' as the cause of this nut's attempted shooting and am shocked that I'll have to get my entertainment from other posts. Oh well.

Good Lord Larry he fired a Romanian Copy AK-47 Rife from a car down on Constitution Avenue a very long block away.

But now you know why the U.S. Secret Service is not wild about Presidents using the Truman Balcony.

I came up with 4 names in my head right away when I read your post.
I'm sure I could come up with 3-4 more on top of that.

It sounds more like Oscar Ramiro **Ortega-Hernandez is mentaly deranged than anything else, particularly since the U.S. Secret Service is saying he has no ties to any radical (including religious) organizations.

That makes Oscar Ramiro your average teabagger....

Yes, but there is a RELIGIOUS reason as to why he tried to shoot at Obama.

Perhaps Oscar Ramiro talks to god just like Rick Perry....:Eek:

Frankly I'm not sure someone saying that they look just like Jesus makes them particiularly religious, at least in the way that most people of faith understand the term.

Good grief that is like saying that Wliliam Friedkin, William Blatty, Paul Schrader, William Wisher and Caleb Carr must all be men of profound faith.
