All it would take is one racist nut.. The fallout would be devastating.. These idiots hate Obama but they are too stupid to see their arrest and statements only strengthen Obama's cult popularity.
Three men who authorities initially feared were plotting to assassinate Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention are facing only gun charges — signaling they never posed a real threat.
A federal law enforcement official in Denver said the three men and woman arrested on Sunday are not expected to be charged with making threatening statements, conspiracy or other national security-related crimes.
It's possible — but unlikely — that additional charges could come later, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the charges have not yet been filed.
One of the men was arrested near Denver with two rifles, ammunition, walkie-talkies and suspected drugs. Federal officials say two other men and a woman were apprehended a few hours later.
A news conference to discuss the charges is expected at 6 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
The likelihood of an assassination attempt on Democratic presidential candidate Obama was downplayed by law enforcement officials in Colorado and Washington.
"We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said in a statement.
