Government Foils Skinhead Plot to Assassinate Obama [court records unsealed just before elections]

Skinheads planned to kill Obama and 102 others in Tennessee.

Federal agents have disrupted a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate dozens of black students in Tennessee, the ATF said Monday. 

In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name. 

A source in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told FOX News that the two skinheads, who were picked up in Crockett County, Tenn., were plotting to shoot 88 black students and decapitate 14 others described as non-whites. The source said officials believe the suspects were planning to attempt an assassination against Obama. 

The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community. 

But officials could not describe how advanced or credible the plot was, nor could they say if they had contacted the Obama campaign. 

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the ATF, said the suspects also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target.

"MSNBC alert said it was a "skin head" plot...."

Is there some way we can tell the good skin heads from the bad skin heads?

Nothing on Cavuto at the moment. No banners, nada.

Cavuto had some dunderhead whinning about Barbara West who didn't know what she was talking about tying Obama's comment of "spreading the wealth around" to Karl Marx.

The dumbass went on contradict his own argument.

Cavuto told him he was lying in so many words.

“Instead our crack media will start talking about the tragedy in Dallas, etc, etc.”

I started to laugh - but of course that IS what they will talk about. Although probably more like to talk about RFK while he was campaigning.

>AP says TWO “neo-Nazi skinheads.”<

I actually felt a little better reading that in the article. My concern is that this will eat up the last week of the news cycle. What a joke. I’m sure there are lots of crazy plans to kill lots of people. Anderson Cooper and the msm will be milking this for days.

In court records unsealed Monday

Any idea of when this plot was actually discovered? A year ago? Yesterday?

This is BS!
Repeat, this is BS!!

An incredibly damaging recording of Obama trashing our Constitution, calling it a flawed document, lamenting that the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled to redistribute wealth, and saying the the Constitution should have included language that said what the government is required to do to us, is released yesterday. This is absolutely HUGE and exposes Obama as a socialist tyrant.

Now, the very next day, the one thing that can knock this down to a non-story happens. How convenient.

This doesn’t not smell authentic one bit.

It is etimated that 4,980 Germans were executed after the July Plot to assinate Hitler. Hitler decided that the leaders should have a slow death. History repeating itself?

I'm glad this never came close to happening. Obama will milk this for all its worth mentioning it over and over and over.

OK I’m definitely confused as to how two guys plan to attack a High School AND a presidential candidate. Article is poorly written. Sounds like these guys first needed to steal guns.

Don’t take any assasination talk lightly but this is unclear at best.

Sounds staged to try and offset any potential Bradley-effect.

They want to stall and are hoping this will while away two or three days.

Glad these guys got caught. Sounds like they were a long way from an attempt.
