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.
The Klan types are more left than right these days. I won’t make a clickable link to the scumbag’s page but David Duke supports Cindy Sheehan and the Klan holds anti war rallies.

Indeed.
Oh Please . Fox would hype this stupid talk by a bunch of losers as serious .
Pure fantasy by kooks.
As to the "sympathy vote" many folks now might think it is too dangerous to have him In the Oval office. This also might cause other "gangs" to feel it is necessary for "retaliation" . Serious situation all around.
“I would say it is a ploy for the sympathy vote.”
Of course.
They look like Murtha’s constituents.
With 0bama we could get one every day this week
What's next he found out about an AlQueda plot?
Good question... it only mentions court records being unsealed today.
Nothing on google news yet ... ?
>Heres my question...since when did the ATF get involved in breaking up assassination plots? Isnt that an FBI/Secret Service affair?
Good question. I was thinking the same thing.
These photos have been linked from the LA Times but the homepage has no article on this. What gives?
Did the Secret Service announce this?
Sounds ridiculous.
wonder how many posts on this thread will be nuked?
Why do post only GOp doom and gloom ?????
What is your agenda ?I smell a troll.
ATF>>>ATF>>> that says it all.
They were going to hold him down and “carve” a backwards “M” on his cheek.
too soon?
They (The MSM) will now do a geneaology search on each suspect and find out one or more of the skinheads is related to McCain or Palin
