Louisiana Man Tries To ‘Deliver’ Rifle To Obama

Confederate States of America!This is not the story we want to be repeating for the next eight years: Some 64-year-old nut in a pickup truck attempted to make a “delivery” to Barack Obama, the president, by driving up to the U.S. Capitol with a rifle and ammo. The good news is the suspect is 64 years old, which suggests these people may be at the end of their natural life span. UPDATE: Oh wait, is this guy actually a black man, doing some kind of protest, like he maybe did during the Jena Six craziness? [WTOP]

  1. I’m sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. Like deciding to marry one’s cousin or moving to Alabama.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 1:54 am, February 11th, 2009

    I’ll see that racist dumbshit and raise you this.
    I’m going to keep thinking the world is capable of getting better.

  3. PolicyWhore says at 1:56 am, February 11th, 2009

    Evolution is not moving fast enough!

  4. SpecialHorse says at 1:57 am, February 11th, 2009

    I’ve got a delivery I’d like to make to this 64-year old man.

    SayItWithWookies: I have a better one: http://www.therightperspective.org/?p=1226

    Read the comments, they’re racist gold!

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:02 am, February 11th, 2009

    This is why the Southeast can’t have nice things.

  7. I don’t understand… what did he think what happen with this plan? Did he think the guard would let him through? “Oh, OK then, special delivery for the president, go right ahead.”

    I saw this on the TV earlier and they showed the guy in handcuffs from a distance. I’m not sure, but I think the guy was black, so this might not be some crazy racist. He could just be some crazy asshole. Although black guys can be crazy, anti-Obama racists, too.

  9. pepe: This is why I sort of hope we *will* keep hearing this story over the next eight years - and only this story. ‘Yet another dumbshit was arrested today by, like, the first layer of the hundred-layer President protection team. None of the aspirating assassins have yet managed to penetrate the defense past layer three, i.e. the point where they *don’t* admit they’re intending to come after the President. Layer four has been warned that they may yet start catching on that admitting your intentions right away is not the best modus operandi.’

  10. Bearbloke says at 2:23 am, February 11th, 2009

    I think President Obama should turn this douche over to the tender mercies of his new Secretary of Dealing With Ignorant
    Cracker-Ass MotherFuckers
    , Keith “Ray” Kakugawa for an Island-style Haole-beatdown…

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 2:27 am, February 11th, 2009

    PolicyWhore: That isn’t what I meant at all.

  12. Bearbloke says at 2:46 am, February 11th, 2009

    If he’s Black, then beat ‘im down anyway for bein’ so godddam IGNORANT…

  13. Will ya still arm me
    will ya still harm me
    when you’re sixty-four

  14. Ah, the ‘Candygram for Mongo’ ploy.

  15. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:42 am, February 11th, 2009

    Wha, huh? Is he this dude?

  16. blkbabe34 says at 4:52 am, February 11th, 2009

    I am a gorgeous girl, like dancing,hiking,making friends and sometime camping. Welcome to view my photo under the name “Serena544″ on http://www.BlackWhiteKiss.com where many black or white singles seeking love online.

  17. blkbabe34 says at 4:53 am, February 11th, 2009

    right

  18. Also.

  19. Cape Clod says at 7:19 am, February 11th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Great story.

  20. Dean Booth says at 7:44 am, February 11th, 2009

    At first I thought it might be Michael Steele.

  21. orbit222 says at 7:59 am, February 11th, 2009

    Maybe it was just a really, really nice .22. Probably had it engraved n’ all. What’s wrong with you people? You don’t think our Prez would like to git him some squirrel and rabbit?

  22. PsycGirl says at 8:29 am, February 11th, 2009

    PolicyWhore: I have to go wash my eyeballs now.

  23. PolicyWhore: My favorite part is that they moderate comments there. And those racist comments all got through. So they were deemed fine.

  24. loquaciousmusic says at 8:38 am, February 11th, 2009

    blkbabe34: See? What did those racist Southerners tell you about Obama’s presidency and race mixing? And its made its way to OUR WONKETTE, bastion of whiteness (except for AngryBlakGuy)!

  25. Gun-toting Progressive says at 8:49 am, February 11th, 2009

    PsycGirl: With bleach, peroxide, and a wire brush. I’m also going to burn my computer, just to be sure.

  26. Mr Blifil says at 8:51 am, February 11th, 2009

    I don’t see what everybody’s all up-in-arms about.

  27. blkbabe34: Understand that you’re advertising fruitlessly here. Wonkette commenters have sexy time nightly with a hotty of the race of their choice (I like variety, myself). Two or three, if possible. We’re just that studly. And we’re all women, too, or so I’ve been informed. Studly women.

  28. willdude says at 8:56 am, February 11th, 2009

    This reminds me of a Jack Handey quote:

    “I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. And since he is so busy, you’d probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.”

  29. AxmxZ:

    …and the announcement must be made by a guy in a dark suit, with a lapel pin, a thing in his ear, and a “don’t f with me” look on his face. Bonus points for a very very short hair cut.

  30. bitchincamaro says at 9:09 am, February 11th, 2009

    Jena Six is going to be my new porn name.

  31. PolicyWhore:
    Jesus! And on that subject, I wonder how many of those turds go to church every Sunday.

  32. loquaciousmusic says at 9:25 am, February 11th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: More like “Jena 12.”

  33. TGY: I’m kind of wondering if that site is full of The Ironies I keep hearing about on the tubes, but I’m too lazy to look that deeply into it, probably from being exposed to that awful plague Snark, also.

  34. Mr Blifil says at 9:42 am, February 11th, 2009

    blkbabe34: Everybody here is a gorgeous girl. You best step off sista.

    And Miscegenation = Obama-nation. Also.

  35. Peanut Inspector says at 10:01 am, February 11th, 2009

    A person of color from Louisiana? Jindal’s daddy a Tamil Tiger?

  36. cracksammich says at 10:07 am, February 11th, 2009

    Once again the citizens of my state betray me! Vitter! Stormy! Edwin Edwards! David Duke! Fuckers!

  37. nmmagayar says at 10:26 am, February 11th, 2009

    PolicyWhore: that was fucking disgusting

  38. cracksammich: Stormy is the good kind of fucker and shouldn’t be categorized with the rest of them.

  39. Red Zeppelin says at 10:40 am, February 11th, 2009

    Naw, he just came for his 40 acres and a mule.

  40. cracksammich: your state almost made up for it with gumbo, pralines and red beans and rice and other food that, if contemplated, will make my upcoming lunch pitiful. No, wait, I’m going to contemplate this food so it will replace that awful link PolicyWhore put up in my mind.

  41. Red Zeppelin says at 10:44 am, February 11th, 2009

    blkbabe34: Damn site’s password restricted!Damn!

  42. Did the pickup truck have…

    trucknutz?

  43. PolicyWhore: I only read the first few comments on that page and now I want to go scrub down the inside of my skull with a scouring pad to get rid of the memory. Or better, scrub down the insides of their commenter’s skulls.

  44. flyingspaghettimonster says at 11:53 am, February 11th, 2009

    Why would he deliver the package to the big building where the Prez does NOT work or live?

    Lacking skillz. Typical American.

  45. PolicyWhore says at 12:46 pm, February 11th, 2009

    That has to be one of the most racist articles/comments I’ve seen since the election. Yay, Republicans! I read the first 5 comments and gave up on it too.

  46. Kev-O-Tron says at 12:57 pm, February 11th, 2009

    PolicyWhore: Jesus. I wouldn’t spend too much time there. That can’t be good for your soul.

  47. Kev-O-Tron says at 12:58 pm, February 11th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: That was nice Wookies. Thanks for the link it made me happy. Ah happiness…. I forgot about you. Lately the only emotions I feel are despair and drunk.

  48. Brendan M. says at 1:23 pm, February 11th, 2009

    By the way, Ken Layne, you’re welcome. No need to thank me for correcting your poor reporting.

  49. Lazy Media says at 2:12 pm, February 11th, 2009

    Meh. He didn’t have a rifle because he’s crazy or dangerous. He had a rifle because he drove up from Louisiana. EVERYONE in the South has some form of firearm in their car; they’re necessary to perform the coup de grace on deer when they dive in front of your car. The licensing requirements range from Georgia’s (your car, like your dwelling, is considered yours to defend with deadly force, so there are no licensing/registration requirements at all) to Tennessee (why do you ask, boy? You a Commoniss?”)

  50. Bearbloke says at 2:21 pm, February 11th, 2009

    PsycGirl: Don’t forget beignets, Andouille, calas, bananas Foster, dirty rice, Po’boys, étouffée, jambalaya, Tasso, muffulettas… I miss pre-Katrina N’awlins. I think Bush should be forced to live in the Ninth Ward for the rest of his life, but get all his food from FEMA emergency food cans…

  51. Bearbloke says at 3:02 pm, February 11th, 2009

    loquaciousmusic: He’s our token BlakGuy….

  52. PolicyWhore says at 3:05 pm, February 11th, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: I blame popurls and Reddit for exposing me to stuff like that.

  53. AnAdmirerOfThatOne says at 4:51 pm, February 11th, 2009

    Bearbloke: Bearbloke, I like the way you think. Gubmint cheese omelettes for W! Let’s start a petition.

  54. heathenish says at 11:07 pm, February 13th, 2009

    probably just wanted to apply for the Commerce Sec. job and just had his huntin’ rifle in the rack, jezzz and now he’s got to figure out how to get his fucking truck out of the impound!
