Who is this idiot in Utah that is trying to kill President Obama?

[Blue_Roses]

I just heard this on GMA and I missed the guy's name. As much as I despised Bush, I would have never wished him dead. I don't recall all these death threats against Bush, which proves that these fanatical rightwingers are just plain NUTS!

(CNN) -- Federal authorities are searching for a man who has at least eight guns registered to him and has threatened to kill President Obama.

The man, identified as Daniel James Murray, is charged with making threats against the president of the United States.

He recently withdrew $85,000 from a Utah bank and told a teller: "We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States," according to court papers.

15. wait just a dern minute...he said "WE" means there are more than just him?

damn...who the hell has $85,000 in the bank? did he get contributions for the mission? enquiring minds want to know!

17. that's what I thought too...

"we" being others involved with his plan directly or "we" in a generalized thinking on his part.

Damn, these crazies are coming out like cockroaches.

[rateyes]

19. Perhaps he is talking about his other personalities. nt

2. AND NO DAMN PICTURE! There's a link to the CNN article in the LBN post

They have a picture of Obama, but not the maniac who wants to kill him. WTF?

9. WTF's up with no pictures anyway?

If they were really trying to find this guy you'd think they'd plaster his mug all over.

3. Beats me, but I think your characterization of the guy as an idiot sounds

about right.

It's not a good thing when someone has more guns than brains.

4. If they stuck to wishing, I wouldn't have a problem.

I remember wishing God really would talk to Bush but doubting Bush would listen to Him over his Dick Cheney.

5. Every President has to deal with fucking kooks. Some of them are even dangerous.

Some people are crazy, some people are stupid. Some are stupid and crazy.

6. very true...

But with Bush being such a horrible president and with such drastic policy changes, I would have thought there would have been more.

Here we have a president who is actually trying to do something great for our country and the crazies seem to coming out of the woodwork.

8. Turn on the TV. Turn on the radio.

Those freaking bigmouths are whipping idiots like this guy into a frenzy 24/7/365.

It doesn't surprise me in the least.

[Blue_Roses]

10. that's a great point

with idiots like Rush and Hannity spewing their hate. I watched KO last night and saw the clip of the Hannity interview with Rush. What a joke. Rush is a threat to our national security.

13. All it takes is a few fragile minds that think they're doing some great service

by carrying out the word of these on-air hatemongers.

These are indeed very disturbing times.

[MADem]

12. There were plenty who took issue with him--that was just the tip of the iceberg.

There are crazy people in this world. Some of them are not political at all, they're just "disordered."

7. It'll be interesting to see what shows up in his history.

But I bet I can make a good guess............

driving a blue 2001 Buick LeSabre with New York license plate number ERL 1445.

from CNN site.

They have no description of him, no height, no weight, nothing.

[Blue_Roses]

14. which begs the question...

wasn't there a security camera in the bank where he withdrew this money...of course there was and to withdraw that large amount of money had to take a while. You can't get that much just by walking up to the teller for a few short minutes. He has to be on tape.

:shrug:

18. Posters at the Huffington post are asking for photo also.

Odd. He even argued with the teller, prompting the Manager to come over to the window. They must have plenty of tape on this character.

16. With $85K in cash, he may well be driving something else

by now. I wonder what his screen name is over at freeperville.
