Man Charged With Plotting To Assasinate Hussein
The dude said:
“If I wanted to off that bitch, I’d use a sniper rifle…”
Well, maybe that’s not exactly how he put it, but that’s what Louie has written down in his notes…
MIAMI - A man who authorities said was keeping weapons and military-style gear in his hotel room and car appeared in court Thursday on charges he threatened to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Raymond Hunter Geisel, 22, was arrested by the Secret Service on Saturday in Miami and was ordered held at Miami’s downtown detention center without bail Thursday by a federal magistrate.
A Secret Service affidavit charges that Geisel made the threat during a training class for bail bondsmen in Miami in late July. According to someone else in the 48-member class, Geisel allegedly referred to Obama with a racial epithet and continued, “If he gets elected, I’ll assassinate him myself.”
Obama was most recently in Florida on Aug. 1-2 but did not visit the South Florida area.
Another person in the class quoted Geisel as saying that “he hated George W. Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the president’s head,” according to the Secret Service.
Geisel denied in a written statement to a Secret Service agent that he ever made those threats, and the documents don’t indicate that he ever took steps to carry out any assassination. He was charged only with threatening Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but not for any threat against President Bush.
Geisel’s court-appointed attorney declined comment.
In the interview with a Secret Service agent, Geisel said “if he wanted to kill Senator Obama he simply would shoot him with a sniper rifle, but then he claimed that he was just joking,” according to court documents.
A search of Geisel’s 1998 Ford Explorer and hotel room in Miami uncovered a loaded 9mm handgun, knives, dozens of rounds of ammunition including armor-piercing types, body armor, military-style fatigues and a machete. The SUV was wired with flashing red and yellow emergency lights.
Geisel told the Secret Service he was originally from Bangor, Maine, and had been living recently in a houseboat in the Florida Keys town of Marathon, according to court documents. He said he used the handgun for training for the bail bondsman class, had the knives for protection and used the machete to cut brush in Maine.
In the affidavit, the Secret Service said Geisel told agents that he suffered from psychiatric problems including post-traumatic stress disorder, but he couldn’t provide the names of any facilities where he sought treatment.

The hussein protection squad had better get used to this. The one who says he’s going to assasinate someone, is usually NOT the one who does.
I’d say they’ve got a serious problem on their hands! This guy’s only the tip of the iceberg………
August 7th, 2008 at 2:58 pmI bet the liberal MSM will be all over this, if it would have been about bush i’d be yesterdays news. I hope the SS never bothers me to think this guy has to waste time justifying why he has knifes and machete’s, I have a pick ax and other implements I would not want to sit around justifying ownership.
August 7th, 2008 at 3:01 pmCNN’s report managed to leave out the part about him wanting to kill Bush as well. Huh, whodathunkit?
August 7th, 2008 at 3:11 pmThat’s right it is only O.K. to threaten to kill Republicans . . .
August 7th, 2008 at 3:28 pmOthers already made this point (kind of) but what ticks me off about this story most of all is that nobody cares he was threatening to kill GWB–but “Oh My GAWD!!” he threatened Hussein. I guess wanting to kill the POTUS is no biggie compared to wanting to kill the media’s darling. What a crock.

August 7th, 2008 at 5:45 pmIs this guy looking for donations. I’ll buy the bullet if he gets the shot off.

Yup.
August 7th, 2008 at 6:53 pmWhy do I have the feeling that if BHO becomes POTUS (*cough* *gag* *cough* God help us all!) that his inauguration will look like a scene from an old Wild West movie?
August 7th, 2008 at 7:40 pmYou mean “Blazing Saddles”?
