Shot fired at Obama campaign office in Denver

DENVER Denver police say someone has fired a shot through the window of President Barack Obama's Denver campaign office.

Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez says people were inside the office when the shooting happened Friday afternoon, but no one was injured. A large panel of glass was left shattered at the office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street.

Lopez says investigators are looking at surveillance video but have not yet confirmed a description of a vehicle that might be linked to the shooting. Police didn't immediately release other details while detectives pursue leads.

Lopez says she isn't aware of any previous threats against the campaign office.

The Secret Service referred questions about the incident to Denver police.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment.

I think it's really funny how some of the most hateful, war and fear mongering, racially bigoted, misogynistic and plutocratic people in this country (Right Wing, Republicans and Tea Party) always want to identify themselves as Christians or, people that LOVE JESUS when they seem to HATE everybody and, everything besides who they think they are or, pretend to be.

Looks like we cannot have anything done without violence or bullying. Its sad we as a nation can approve a bully like Romney to be a presidential candidate. There are so many qualified candidates in the Republican party but republicans chose to have him mainly because of the amount of money poured into his campaign.

Romney may have won the debate but he was, in my opinion, a very rude, arrogant, disruptive, have to 'get the last word in' ass. The moderator lost control of the debate because he could not stop rude Mitt. You can see it your way if you like about Biden, but in truth he (Biden) was just trying to get/keep Ryan truthful, out front and give an definitive answer in regard the moderators clearly asked questions. Clearly he(Ryan)had nothing at best but very vague comments about any plans he might have and even went against everything he and Romney have been campaigning for and are now back tracking on once again.

I will give Biden as being overly defensive but have to give Ryan the award for passive aggression.

"Neo-Communist-Democrats replies:
BWB2080 still as clueless as ever.
It was probably one of your own.
Why is the left so violent and has been since 1917 starting in Russia???"

As usual, baggers are so irrelevant, they have to go back a century to find even more irrelevant points to drag up.

But I will deign to answer your useless question.

Throughout history, whenever people struggle to overcome injustice, they first try peaceful resistance, when that fails, then open rebellion is the only answer left, and it usually turns violent, when those who fear the change try violent methods to suppress the violence. Russia was, and is no different.

Now back to the actual point, which you are insufficiently evolved to comprehend, I did not deny the possibility of a sympathy play, a read of my post states that clearly, read it again, you can move your lips and sound it out phonetically if you need to.

In the post, I noted that because people of your ilk have advertised your ignorance and hatred for years, as you have again demonstrated in your reply, it is only natural for any sentient beings to associate the crime with you and your kind, gun-loving, racist, intolerant aristocracy worshiping, death-mongering, ASPD-afflicted misanthropes.

I don't know but, if I were a hardcore Romney supporter right now, I wouldn't exactly be jumping up and down for JOY after that VP Debate; knowing all the LIES that Ryan tried to get away with and failed plus, all the RIDICULOUS LIES that Romney told, knowing damn well that there's TWO MORE DEBATES to go. As a matter of fact, just like my Grandmother used to say, I'd be "Tremblin' like a Jack Ass that ate some Hot Sauce Mad." lol...

BWB2020 says:
While it is indeed possible that someone other than your standard ultra right-wing groups may have done this, given the history of hatred advertised so blatantly by the baggers over these past years, it is only natural and reasonable for anyone to assume that the act was carried out by baggers.

You baggers have indelibly branded yourselves as the party of hatred and intolerance, now you have to live with the reaction to the brand you created.

That is one bed no bagger politician can credibly deny making, so lay in it, and quit whining about our reaction to it, the whining won't stop us from our reaction to your hstred.

This is bad. No matter who you consider the Democrats to be firing on them is dumb. The only true way to defeat anyone is by the election process. The only problem I have with this shot business is it could be a member of the party involved that did it to get publication for their benefit. Wait till the FBI and CIA locate the guilty party. Then we can understand why and who performed this dumb act.

Anyone know where Mittens was during the the time when that shot was fired? JK but honestly if it was an accident then you need to report it and be much much safer in the future and if it wasn't an accident: there is never a reason for that kind of violence. Don't let fear and politics run and ruin your life.
