Obama office bombing?
Can someone provide links to any articles on the bombing and other threats that have been happening at some of his offices? From what I understand they are trying to keep this stuff out of the news in order to continue projecting an image of unity.

FYI : I am not trying to stir up shit, but I would like to find out more. It's also possible that this is entirely false, but please don't jump on shouting it down just because you have not heard about it. Due to the size of this forum, if it is true, someone should know more. Thanks.

10. I found threats on Google
but no reports of an actual bomb going off. I expect it would be big news were it a big bomb that killed someone, but you never know with how strange our media acts sometimes.

4. Is this an attempt to get the sympathy vote?
For Obama...now he will be painted "the victim"...is that the next trick...?

7. Usually, bomb threats are not publicized.
It invites too many copy-cats.

9. Here's one report:
http://www.tribstar.com/news/local_story_127160436.html

TERRE HAUTE — Obama campaign workers were back on the job soon after Indiana State Police swept his Terre Haute headquarters for bombs after a reported threat Tuesday afternoon.

About 3:45 p.m., Trooper Jason Schoffstall said police did not find anything suspicious inside the candidate’s Wabash Avenue headquarters.

According to Schoffstall, an anonymous call was made to WTHI television station earlier in the afternoon reporting that bombs had been placed at Obama’s Terre Haute and other cities’ headquarters. The FBI and Secret Service were notified, he said.

Lewis Robinson of the Secret Service’s office in Indianapolis said the caller made threats against Obama offices in Vincennes, Terre Haute and Evansville.

13. The sad thing is these little twits ACTUALLY think they are clever.
They don't even know how be inconspicuous.

Maybe it's good for us that they are still so clueless with their approach.

14. Many many people in the public eye get threats... It happens all
the time. I am glad that every one doesn't get coverage... Makes them easier to pin down & solve.

16. Tweety made a reference to something like this on his show.

He must know something that's not public or something.

Let me clarify, not an office bombing specifically, but nutso's doing crazy things and they were talking about Obama at the time.

18. You come on with this crap without a link?
"I am not trying to stir up shit, but I would like to find out more." At least provide a link, will you?
