When a geniuine plot arises call me. This was just a couple of redknecks fantasizing in their basements. In a country of 300 million people that has freedom of speech, this is bound to happen.

The Denver plot seemed more than just "rednecks fantasizing":

Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, wigs, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and 44 grams of methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

You have been called.

In the present case:

Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

The court records say Mr. Cowart and Mr. Schlesselman also bought nylon rope and ski masks to use in a robbery or home invasion to fund their spree, during which they allegedly planned to go from state to state and kill people.

For the Obama plot, the legal documents show, Mr. Cowart and Mr. Schlesselman “planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows.”
