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.

"“Someone wasn’t going to vote for him but since they heard about the assassination plot now they’re more inclined to vote for him? I’m not seeing that.”"

Sympathy..and it gives the Communist News Network something to talk about other than the fact that the strong evidence is hitting hard that Obama is a socialist/commie.

Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't planned from the start.

Take a look at this...the saturation of soviet thinking in the media and every major institution was complete over twenty years go..we just didn't know it!

Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, 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.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

“They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” Cavanaugh said. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”

According to the MSM, everyone loves the “Muslim Messiah.”

They aren't on "our side". Real skinhead types would feel exactly the same about McCain/Palin as they do Obama.

Exactly! Racists are just as much collectivist socialists as The Marxist One- the only difference is how they want to collect and redistribute property and freedoms- the former based on race, the later based on both race and social class. Racist nutbars only associate sometimes with Right-wing candidates based on Second Amendment issues- that's it, but they agree on that point for the completely wrong reasons.

Right. Two idiots with a wacked-out plan of some sort. Any threat needs to be taken seriously, but come on . . . . .

Meanwhile, Obama supporters hang Gov. Palin in effigy and it’s a cute little human interest story.

Well, the Obama camp has been pushing that an attempt would be made for 9 months. Sorry, I question the timing. First it was the collapse of the economy after Palin emerged. Then it was this after his socialist instincts are made public. The girl who claimed she was attacked was a Paulian. These guys probably are as well.

Unfortunately it will be blamed on the Republicans.

They rig everything and then blame it on Republicans. I am sick of it. Rig up a fake "assassination" attempt --> point to Republicans. Rig a financial disaster --> blame the Republicans. Crash the housing/mortgage market --> blame the Republicans. Get some intern to blow you under the Oval Office desk --> blame the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy." The ACLU sues to release all schizophrenics hospitalized "against their will" --> blame the Republicans for all the homeless schizophrenics living on the street. Start a war, then royally botch the war --> blame the Republicans, even though they were the ones to END the war. Destroy the black family (and soon ALL families) --> blame the Republicans.

This dawg is getting damn tired of getting kicked. I'm about to bite somebody.

sounds like a pretty unsophisticated bunch. they didn’t even actually have weapons, they planned to rob a gun store. Just not sure what they planned to rob it with.

Pretty risky robbing a gun store without being armed yourself. Couple of bright ones here. OTOH, it was the ATF who "broke" up the plot. I don't trust those gun grabbing a**hats not to have set the whole thing up.

“This will drown out “Redistributing the wealth” tonight.”

If Joe the Plumber didnt move polls since two weeks ago and hearing Redistributing the Wealth over and over hasnt done anything why would today matter?

Face it the MSM has already blunted that attack tremendously and hearing more about it wont help.

Just in time for the undecided voter sympathy vote. What a coincidence. There is NOTHING that Marxist putz won’t do to steal the presidency.

This story...snore. Sounds like to me some reporter was trolling around a courthouse and found this information that was made public record and its be reported like breaking news. There was no door bashing Branch Davidian style ATF raid. Read the details of the story before anybody gets their panties in wad or Obama trolls start fellating themselves over the political points they can score with this.

I wonder how many “plots” to assinate Bush, based on some drunken email or phone call, the Secret Service has to run down in an average week.

Unsealed court records?? Does this mean this plot was discovered some time ago?

Bets on how long it takes to expose this as a fraud?

I hope it is a fraud. Not because I want to expose the campaign as corrupt, but because I would hate to think Americans would behave like a third world country before it has to.
